惨め, Hopelessness

That Was A Mistake [EP], 2022

Art by DinoDork (which I asked for nicely, again)

Vocals written, mastered, and vocal'd by me.

Backing track originally by Liam-Montana, altered and extended slightly by me.

Lyrics:

Teach me how to dance and then teach me how to Dougie,

And I'll teach you how to throw away all your fucking money,

I'm struggling to keep myself physically lean,

And the end will come sooner than I've foreseen,

Clumsy mistakes might be in my cards,

I'll slip on some stairs, it'll be real hard,

When I stand up bleeding and looking real pensive,

Don't call an ambulance 'cause that shit's expensive,

It's been a minute since I've written any good lyrics,

That don't sound like disparate hysterics, but,

Let's try to be happy, tomorrow's not in stone, yeah,

I think I'm fucking dying so please just throw me a fucking bone,

When I look back at all my years, it is profound,

My whole life has been a fucking waste, and it can't be rewound!

Teach me how to walk and then teach me how to run,

And I'll teach you how to kill a day not talking to no one,

I'm struggling to care about presentation,

And the end will be filled with tribulations,

Solid strokes epitomize my lack of grace,

I would collect more shit but I'm out of space!

When I stand up and I give you the bird,

Don't call me a prick even if it's deserved,

It's been a minute since I've put in any effort,

It's awful to think I've begun the revert, but,

Let's try to be happy, I can't undo the past, yeah,

Please, just, this, once, gimme a chance!

When I look back at all my years, it hurts my head,

My whole life has been a fucking waste, and I'm almost dead!

Teach me how to live and then teach me how to die,

And I'll teach you how to see the blind eye to eye,

I'm struggling to stop myself from eating bad food,

And the end is upon us so mind the attitude,

I can't live in a world that's so damn violent,

It's under my skin and I can't describe it,

When I stand up and I give you my intent,

Don't call me a dick, see? That's what I meant,

Teach me how to stop and I'll throw away the knowledge,

And my dues will crumble down and I'll go back to college,

I have a degree but contemporary's pay,

Competition competitively stowed away,

Listful contracts of listless lights,

Don't talk to me like you ain't spending the night,

Teach me improvement and I will surely waste it,

Nobody come near me when I finally go ape shit.
