lyrics

Now I get suspicious of people who leverage personal problems
And marginalization
For social gain
Some sort of victimization hierarchy
Makes your experience of life more good and true
...A fucked conclusion
Pulled like teeth from hard-won validation that
Nonetheless smears shit across the faces of
People whose lives you don't value
And that's fucked up
But I get it:
Hurt people hurt people and all that
Some of us heal in ways that can be destructive
And we can't all realistically be expected to forgive and deal with the people who fuck us up
Certainly not always
Maybe it's just gotta be that way
But that doesn't mean we can't account for our own shit
For the way we behave
Just because you're anxious doesn't mean that you're not
Acting like an asshole
Hurting those around you
Look, I've got weird destructive social tendencies too
Like when I get all cold and distant
Stop returning texts and
Lose all interest in being someones friend
For nothing they did
Just because I'm feeling weird
And I know that's not okay
It's not like--
"Yo, I know you just really need to take care of yourself!" Wow!
No, it's "friend you're fucking hurting people, cut this shit out right now"
There's really such a thing as taking responsibility for your actions
So please do it, just do it now
