the narcissist cookbook - functional poetry lyrics

[verse 1]
there must be a line between functional poetry
and self+flagellation
with a beat and a melody
these songs i’ve been writing
are ever increasingly lists of my vices and fears
i tell myself that it’s art because honesty
but honestly, honesty hasn’t been good to me
lies and adrenaline are natural medicines
i’ll take a nap while they steer

[verse 2]
like a sh+tty macgyver
i improvise problems with everyday objеcts
here’s one i built out of milk jugs and matchsticks
so еven when i’m in a twist about nothing
i still got the comfort of sucking at something
and i still apologize mostly on reflex
to shut down your feelings
wallow and disconnect
but it’s not my fault
it’s just one of the side+effects
it’s going to be like this for weeks

[verse 3]
and this is just what i need
it’s just what i need
when do the symptoms begin to recede?
(it’s just what i need) it’s just what i need
(it’s just what i need) it’s just what i need
(it’s just what i need) i feel the heat of your head on my cheek
maybe together
we might be better
more than the sum of what makes us both weak
before you arrive and i let you inside
oh, promise you’ll leave
promise you’ll leave
promise you’ll leave
when my sh+t gets old, honey
promise you’ll leave
promise you’ll leave
promise you’ll leave
