Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I have this thing where I grow older, but just never wiser
Midnights become my afternoons
When my depression works the graveyard shift, all of the people
I've ghosted, stand there in the room
[PreChorus]
I should not be left to my own devices
They come with prices and vices
I end up in crisis
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day, I'll watch as you're leaving
'Cause you got tired of my scheming
[Chorus]
It's me, hi
I'm the problem, it's me
At teatime
Everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
[Chorus]
It's me, hi
I'm the problem, it's me
At teatime
Everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
[Chorus]
The anti-hero
The anti-hero
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
The anti-hero
The anti-hero
The anti-hero
[Verse 2]
Sometimes, I feel like everybody is a sexy baby
And I'm a monster on the hill
Too big to hang out, slowly lurkin' toward your favorite city
Pierced through the heart, but never killed
[PreChorus]
Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise with altruism
Like some kind of congressman?
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day, I'll watch as you're leaving
And life will lose all its meaning
[Chorus]
It's me, hi
I'm the problem, it's me
At teatime
Everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
It's me, hi
I'm the problem, it's me
At teatime
Everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
[Outro]
The anti-hero
The anti-hero
The anti-hero
The anti-hero
