Sit back and let me tell you about the sadness,
About the beast that's been gnashing its teeth trying to destroy me
It rears its head every time I'm alone
In the middle of the night if you don't answer your phone
It snarls at me, it hides underneath my bed
It sinks its teeth in every corner of my head
Don't try to stop it, don't try to control it
Don't try to defeat it, don't try to console it
It's unstoppable and it's a part of me
Your best bet is not to get too close to me
Stay the fuck away, stay out of its reach
Or it will poison you like it's been poisoning me
It tells me what I'm supposed to say
And it controls every move that I make
You've got me all wrong
It's not the real me screaming you away
It's that selfish sadness ruining every day
Everything is wrong
