[Intro]
One, two, one, two, three
[Verse 1]
I'm a dumb little addict, so I've been tryna quit the snowflake
I guess life sucks dick, but especially, if you sniff it all away
I did some damage to my ex but, goddamn it, I should have broke that prick's face
My next man, yeah, he's gotta be magic, abracadabra and I'm in space
[Pre-Chorus]
And it goes on and on and on and on
[Chorus]
And now I'm locked out, got nowhere to go
And my phone got stolen and my balance is low
But if I look on the brightside
At least I'm not fucking myself anymore, not anymore
And I got a little kick out of declining your call
I guess that means I don't need your dick at all
And so I'm fucking myself, but not like that anymore
[Verse 2]
I was a sad little bitch but if I'm honest, shit, I've barely damn changed
I've just got a little bit older and a little bit closer to death's gates, yeah
I like a dopamine hit more than a fat kid loves cake
And I can't say that I'm happy, yeah, but least now I'm heading the right way, not the highway
[Pre-Chorus]
And it goes on and on and on and on
[Chorus]
And now I'm locked out, got nowhere to go
And my phone got stolen and my balance is low
But if I look on the bright side
At least I'm not fucking myself anymore, not anymore
And I got a little kick out of declining your call
I guess that means I don't need your dick at all
And so I'm fucking myself, but not like that anymore
[Bridge]
And so I'm fucking myself but not like that
And then I'm fucking myself but not like that
And I'm fucking myself but not like that
And I'm fucking myself but not like that
And I'm fucking myself but not like that
And I'm fucking myself but not like that
And I'm fucking myself but not like that anymore
[Outro]
And I got a kick out of declining your call
I guess that means I don't need your dick at all
And so I'm fucking myself, but not like that anymore

This track is about me pulling myself out of a really self-destructive time. It’s hopeful because it’s about looking past that and finding new ways to feel happy. For me, that’s spending time with friends, music always, poetry, being present and having small moments with people that I love. Instead...
