lyrics

I don't know what day it is!

I can't function today, but functioning's never been my thing.
That said, I'm super-in-touch with my suffering.
As a rule, I expect everyone to simply come to me.
As such, I never see anybody.

I don't feel like dancing, no.
I don't feel like dancing.
When the last-ditch kids are heading home,
I'll be the first one to be left alone. NO.

No, I probably won't be okay!

I'm a liminal jerk; I exist on the threshold and I'm like fubar.
Sensation only comes fleetingly.
I lie sleepless at night, wondering why there's something instead of nothing.
Something's never done anything for me.

I don't feel like dancing, no.
I don't feel like dancing.
When the last-ditch kids are heading home,
I'll be the first one to be left alone.

I'm not going anywhere tonight—
I've never gone anywhere, ever,
And I'm sick of pretending to keep it together!
You say you don't want to see me like this?
Well, I just plain don't want to see you.
Don't touch me like it was your idea.
Don't touch me like it was your idea! NO!

Why is no one worried about me?!
