All my life / I been a wild bore / Not really run down / It’s just a fashion I wore / So, was I born to love? / Or did I get the wrong heart? / ‘Cause it's a gluttonous heart / That finds its gluttony hard. / I spent some days / Getting strung out in a haze / Hating every sound I heard / And hating every word. / All my life / Said I been a wild bore / I was acting as a badass / Badly till my body got sore / You need somebody to make you feel happy, don’t you? / I’ll do nothing, babe, but bring you down. / The house is cold / And you’re getting kind of old / Thinkin’ of sex and death all day / ‘Cause you're just an animal. / I still can’t see / How we ever agreed / To allow the law to live / With our dedicated love. / You need someone to make you unhappy, don’t you? / Baby, don't ask me to satisfy your mistakes. / Up, up, up and down / End up in the ground. / Such a scandalous / Love is dangerous. / I was so dumb, I dared to discover / That you would have the messenger shot. / Taught you songs your body’d forgotten, / Baby, the music has stopped. / Need somebody to make you feel happy. / All my life I been a wild bore. / Need somebody to make you unhappy. / All my life I been a wild bore. / All my life, all all my life. / All all my li-i-i-i-i-ife. / All my life, my la la la life. / All my life I been a wild bore.

I got this guitar / It made me learn how to talk / But taught to say nothing / Stuck with the words that I got / With my head and my heart / A hole I dug on a whim. / Mindless decision / Thoughtful indifference. / That's alright, how's my consolation? / Call up with that information. / Eighth notes are great / For laughing at all your mistakes. / Take my youth and all, end everything / Open riddle of my heartache / All the nurturing / I'd give to the world / I was young, I was clever. / Give my love to – whoever. / I cannot protect / Everyone I love. / This is called living / Lips on the lip of a cup. / I got this guitar / And we learned how to shut up. / Ghosts are unreal / Ghosts are whatever we said. / Whatever’s haunting me’s / Clearly in my head. / That’s alright, we’re like so amazing. / Don't need confirmation. / Take my youth and all, end everything. / Learn to count, count your blessings. / Be resolved by nature / Into your parts. / Drag my body into the water. / Enjoy a rotten man's daughter. / Silly hopes of youngsters / Breaking my heart.
