Lyrics
I see a sad little sinner in the mirror
The devil works hard, like my liver
I don't wanna be alive, but I don't wanna die
A fist full of pills, you're a nobody
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Bang-bang, that's depression at the door again
You know he'll beat the door down 'til you let him in the room
Since you are already acquainted, you skip the foreplay
He grips you at the neck as you prepare to be screwed
You try to muster a flare to tell somebody you're sinking
But anxiety is an index finger pressed to your lips
A whiskey bottle it whispers
Since you're already bitter
A cocktail fit for a quitter
Come here and give me a kiss
I see a sad little sinner in the mirror
The devil works hard, like my liver
I don't wanna be alive, but I don't wanna die
A fist full of pills and rivers in my eyes
I got nothing left to lose, dear God in the sky
Hear my cry, hear my cry
When it's too dark to see
Let there be light, let there be light (let there be)
Let there be light
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yes, I edit my pictures to make my waist look slimmer
And make my arse look bigger so that I'm someone you aspire to
Let me in your algorithm, please, I know I'll only be important
If I'm someone you would like, follow, share or subscribe to
If you're thirsty like me, mix some pity with some self-hate
Stir it up then add 12 ounces of rosé
That's how I make the glass half-empty and drink it down
Beneath the curse words and insecurities here lies a sorry little soul
And she doesn't even know what to pray for
Still just a heartbroke bitch
But I traded the back of the nightclub I did for the bathroom floor
I wish I could call my ex
He would know just what to say (he don't say nothing at all now)
It brings a tear to my eye
The only thing I rely on him to do is stay declining my calls now
I see a sad little sinner in the mirror
The devil works hard, like my liver
I don't wanna be alive, but I don't wanna die
A fist full of pills and rivers in my eyes
I got nothing left to lose, dear God in the sky
Hear my cry, hear my cry
When it's too dark to see
Let there be light, let there be light
Let there be light
Little girls that have no self-esteem
A little boy without a father tries to find him in the streets
A girl I used to walk to school with took her life
Now rest in peace (rest in peace)
Fake democracy, killing overseas
Killing ourselves, suicide
Government lies, discrimination
Hating ourselves
Why hope? Why keep going? Why try? (Why?)
Genesis one, verse three, I'll dry my eyes
The only thing which darkness cannot coexist is the light
I see a sad little sinner in the mirror
The devil works hard, like my liver
I don't wanna be alive, but I don't wanna die
A fist full of pills, and rivers in my eyes
I got nothing left to lose, dear God in the sky
Hear my cry, would you hear my cry?
When it's too dark to see
Let there be light, let there be light (let there be)
Let there be light
