Material Witness

I heard you play a big, fat, mean guitar You're gonna be a big star Heard you sing about all the times you failed yourself And every single person you hate Who ate shit for being just like everyone else You still wake up wishing that you were somebody else You can't shake off feeling like there's somewhere else that you should be Somewhere just out of reach Maybe it's simply something wrong with your genes A million losers but you win the f*ck-up lottery It's gotta be someone, I guess it might as well be me I'll give you something to see I still feel the sun shine just for me It all falls apart in the end At least that's what I'm designed to believe Still when I got nothing to eat I die just like everyone else It's not the way it seems Still there's no better tragedy Than one that's there for all to see You could say it's a proven strategy Why can't that be me? That's how I know I'm alive Besides the pulsing and the pain in my veins And the slow decay of my brain My material witness Was minding his own business I'm not saying you did this Just that you can't undo it
