lyrics

Well I been saving
I been saving all the bones that I can find
but no curative arithmetic could make this year anywhere close to kind hind

Nobody’s sayin’
a single word about the things that I have done
but I don’t need the praise of oligarchs
I’m good at lookin’ out for number one

they say it’s all so easy now
if there’s a way then show me how

Cause I can’t find one way to live
and there’s so many ways to die
but don’t worry girl, I’m not about
to give it up tonight
just like everybody else
I won’t be here for too long
and I’m sure I’ll be forgotten when I’m gone

No use in staying
when everyone I loved has all but up and gone
the nadir of self-esteem it seems
comes fast and ‘fore you know it you’re withdrawn

But I ain’t saying
I’ll look back fondly on my time interned - I won’t
I’ll just take stock of what I learned, say goodbye,
and well, I guess that’s all she wrote

And it’ll all be easy now
no one could ever show me how
well it’s not such a Pyrrhic Victory
I’ll get to know the mystery myself

Cause I can’t find one way to live
and there’s so many ways to die
but don’t worry girl, I’m not about
to give it up tonight
just like everybody else
I won’t be here for too long
and I’m sure I’ll be forgotten when I’m gone
and I’m sure I’ll be forgotten when I’m gone
