[Verse 1]
I'd like to know what makes you tick
Toxic positivity, oh it makes me sick
I'll watch you break and bend
But isn't it fun to pretend?
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't really care what other people think
I like you a little better when you're mad
Got no apologies I could really make
And no regrets to make me sad
[Chorus]
Who needs to be filled with joy?
It's an overdone cliche
Pretending that it's always fine
As if we aren't all gonna die
I'll be there, a little toy
Made to sit here and obey
Never ending, oh I'm still confined
I'll be waiting here, sitting here, fake by design
[Verse 2]
You went away for a long time
For the last time, and now all I can do is laugh
You're not a replacement, you're a pastime
And I think you can kiss my a-
Asking questions, you won't like my answers
But you stick like a fly
Watching, taunting, just outside my capture
Ain't these walls divine?
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't really ever see us being friends
Ain't no taste more bitter than the end
We're both actors and we know who to play
Only difference is, you play pretend
[Chorus]
Who needs to be filled with joy?
It's an overdone cliche
Pretending that it's always fine
As if we aren't all gonna die
I'll be there, a little toy
Made to sit here and obey
Never ending, oh I'm still confined
I'll be waiting here, sitting here, fake by design
[Bridge]
I don't want to be afraid no more
So please wake me up
I need an exit door
I don't want to be afraid no more
So please wake me up
I need an exit door
[Outro]
It's not my fault I'm angry
But maybe I don't care
But it's alright
Can someone out there save me?
And maybe I'm just scared
I'm not alright
