Lyrics
Find another songThe day cooks out back firin' up a dart
Overall, it's been a decent winter
I've been layin' low, workin' on my heart
But the cripplin' weight of my own thoughts keeps me up at night
Tryna decide whether I'm a decent guy has got me not so nice
It's got me thinkin' twice
And I don't wanna be right
And I don't wanna be wrong
No, I don't wanna be anything at all
And I don't wanna be here
But I don't wanna be gone
No, I don't wanna be perceived at all
So I turned my private life into entertainment
I commodified all the thoughts I ever had
Had a Menty B on stage on tour in Europe
Yeah, but all my friends say, "Nick, it can't be that bad"
Now the obsessive need to turn this thing off burns like a spider bite
But the guilt that I can't feed my parents' mouth got me out all night
Dancing for ya in the neon light
And I don't wanna be right
And I don't wanna be wrong
No, I don't wanna be anything at all
And I don't wanna be here
And I don't wanna be gone
No, I don't wanna be perceived at all
Nothing changed when I stop lookin', when I quit keepin' score
No one's worried about you, baby, all of us are bored
We're so bored that we're just talkin' shit on Twitter
We're so dead that we're just firin' up a dart
And I don't wanna be right
I don't wanna be wrong
No, I don't wanna be anything at all
And I don't wanna be here
But I don't wanna be gone
No, I don't wanna be perceived
No, I don't wanna be perceived
No, I don't wanna be perceived at all
