Lyrics The Unbearable Purposelessness Of Being - No Thank You

The Unbearable Purposelessness Of Being

i’ve gotten good at kicking bad habits
it’s misunderstood as giving up, abandonment
or anything else that i’ve been accused of
cuz everyone forgets i used to feel love
but not any more, no i buried that weight
cuz the burden weighed more than my body could take
cuz when everybody hurts you it’s a smile that you fake
you never know how strong you are until you start to break
i’m twenty something and i’m still alive
self medication is how i get by
still listen to «nimrod» when i’m getting high
i’m twenty something, i’m doing just fine
so on this anniversary, ten years to date
i think of all my ex-lovers and the ones i couldn’t save
cuz if i’ve learned a thing i’m the one who had to change
you can’t rely on someone whose problems stay the same
and i’ve burnt down bridges, broke promises and lied
but i’m good at keeping secrets, hold loyalty up high
and i’ve got my best friends, try hard to protect them
from what i’ve become, all fucked up and numb
i’m twenty something and i’m still alive
self medication is how i get by
still listen to «nimrod» when i’m getting high
i’m twenty something, i’m doing just fine
i’m twenty something, i’m doing just fine
i’m twenty something and i’m still alive
