I say "I love you,"
You say "We're way past that."
I say "Okay. I can handle--I can live with that."
But why'd we have to fuck after that? I know it's just a constructed thing,
but I guess it's different when you love someone and you told them just a minute ago.
--------------------
Doppelganger, what are you doing here on the other side of the mirror?
I see you looking off.
You're telling me to stop.

I see your picture on my homepage
I find that I can't look away
I didn't think it would hurt this much,
But I'm fine, I'm fine let's stay in touch.
I can't complain about the guy you chose
He seems pretty cool I suppose
In my head he seems a lot like me
but I project myself into your selfies
I tried to escape you
I tried to replace you
I tried to block you out
But I guess I don't know how
This song started as one thing,
but then I started getting sad and couldn't sing
So I wrote a shitty metaphor and tried to change it up
But I can't ignore
That I can't escape you
I can't replace you
I can't seem to block you out
I guess I don't know how
You're a princess and I'm a knave
You take while I save and slave away
You're kinda like a cliche song
with cliche words and I'll sing along
And you're stuck in my head
You're stuck in my head
I can't seem to block you out
I guess I don't know how

If you want to die, take a selfie and put it online
It will get about 43 likes
(enough to validate living your life)
if you want to die.
If you feel unloved, swipe around til you develop a crush
Play it cool and don't tell her too much
if you feel unloved.
If you're feeling down, your opinions are structurally sound.
Your echo chamber will hold up your crown
if you're feeling down.
If you're feeling dead cuz all the stimuli's fucked with your head.
Charge your phone and lie in your bed,
if you're feeling dead.
If you feel depressed, you should take a personality test.
You'll confirm that you're just anxious and stressed
if you feel depressed.
If you still want to die, you can livestream your suicide.
If no one views it, you're not justified,
You'll have to keep on living your life
if you want to die.

I've only got one skill--
it's called "paying the bills on time."
And I don't know what your deal is,
but I think we'll get along alright.
And I don't think you wanna leave him.
So I'm gonna leave it and just be friends with you.
But I don't think I'm gonna really
ever want to be only friends with you.
I just took some pills--
The kind that make me feel just fine.
I don't know why you think it's a deal
when I'm paying my bills on time.
And I just really wanna listen to Nirvana,
and pretend we never met tonight,
smoke some marijuana,
cuz I really wanna pretend we never met tonight.
I've only got one skill--
it's called "paying the bills on time."
And I don't know what your deal is,
we used to get along alright.

my bff (version2)

If I could claim my bff
I'd choose Styx
cuz he's the best
And I know that he has bad breath
But he doesn't eat shit
like Amos and Tess
But I love them and I miss them too
I'll see them up in heaven
where the sky is blue
I hear the floor squeak
It's sounds like Styx
But he ain't here, he's back at home
I miss Styx
I'm all alone
