lyrics

everywhere i seem to be wanted.
--------------------------------------------
they don't treat me well.
--------------------------------------------

everywhere i seem to be needed
(does that ring a bell?)
is a paradox of what i want vs. "just cause".

they said
"don't make anybody happy because even you aren't happy. you don't even know who you are or what you've become."

but don't you dare try to feel useless.
(you make suicide feel worth it).
