Taylor Quick – Screw-up Verses

Verse 1 I have this thing where I get older But just never wiser Midnights become my afternoons When my depression works The graveyard shift, all of the people I’ve ghosted stand there in the room
Verse 2 Sometimes, I feel like everybody is a sexy baby And I’m a monster on the hill Too big to hang out, slowly lurching towards your favorite city Pierced through the heart, but never killed
Pre-Chorus Did you hear my covered narcissism I disguise as altruism, like some kind of congressman? (I’ve realized all this time) I wake up screaming from dreaming One day, I’ll watch as you’re leaving And life will lose all its meaning (For the last time)
Bridge I have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money She thinks I left them in the will The family gathers around and reads it And then someone screams out “She’s laughing up at us from hell”
Breakdown It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me It’s me, hi, everybody agrees, everybody agrees
Chorus It’s me, hi (Hi), I’m the problem (I’m the problem, it’s me) It’s me, I tick (I tick) time (Time), everybody agrees (Everybody agrees) I’ll stare directly at the Sun, but never in the mirror It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
