She said, you are strange
You give me the creeps
You look too deep
See things the others don’t see
I do see the signs
The others leave behind
But you know, I am blind
Because I don't see mine

I’m getting down on myself
I’m so frustrated
Getting down on myself
Self-castigated
I’m getting down on myself
I’m overrated
Getting down on myself
Self-deprecated

Bad luck, hard luck
I ain’t got no luck
I’d better shut up
Before I fuck up again
I try to smile
With these knives in my back
There is a reason
I am always wearing black

I’m getting down on myself
I’m overrated
Getting down on myself
Self-deprecated
I’m getting down on myself
Feeling outdated
Getting down on myself
Unmotivated

I won't admit attraction
As long as I live
I’m the sum of subtraction
Take and never give
Soon I’ll be leaving
Who will fill this space
Who will breath the air
That I now displace

I’m on a bad bio-curve
So go ahead and kill me
Frozen in the headlights
Of my own destiny
Fill me up
My cup is half empty
I don’t need you
I’m my own best enemy

I’m getting down on myself
Feeling outdated
Getting down on myself
Unmotivated
I’m getting down on myself
Self-medicated
Getting down on myself
Feeling so faded
