i coulda been a scapegoat / they'd serve me as the main course / i wanna bleed and bleed 'til there's no more blood to lust for / i shoulda been in poor taste / win all the hipster’s praise / sure enough i'll bluff ‘til there's no more cards left to play / i woulda been an "it" girl / and wear a slutty dress / i wanna swoon, croon, swagger, stagger like a fucking mess / i don't want your pity / i won't be your pet / i'm just sticking around until it's time to collect / double check my convictions, and then i forget, wanna bet? / playing it safe as a seatbelt / nothing's holding me back / i pretend to defend when i'm under attack / the lights bring the attention / the dark begs you to stay / the final chapter's on the next page / walking the plank into old age / i'll need a new hole to hide / a mask to match my disguise / a fix to shroud my disgust / a paint to cover the rust / say there's a chance i say no way / wouldn't fit in with the display / rather be out of the loop / i'm moving off of the grid / i'm sick of all of this shit / it just is what it is
