Don't care if you flatline
I'll never take that call
If my love is your lifeline
Then I'll gladly watch you fall
Everything's so damn hazy
Not getting much sleep lately
'Cause I can't rest easy
Feeling so uneasy and queasy
Yeah, I'm a little wired, and tired
Of this near constant anxiety
Think I'm losing my sanity
A weak grip on reality
Yet I still see clearly
That the one who's crazy is you
Not me, the true casualty of your depravity
Of vague legality and societal apathy
And the sad thing is, I was the same
More than happy to play the game
Shift the blame, to not soil your name or fame
So I claimed that you were just lonely
Tried to let you down slowly
Spare you the shame, that was my aim
But you didn't see it that way
Called it foul-play, and weren't swayed
And now I see, clear as day
Your sleazy and shady ways
The sickness inside your brain
You're honest to God insane
And I'm done playing your game
From this day on, never again!
Won't indulge your little fantasy or
Let you cling to my sympathy
Your obsession's not poetry
It's your travesty, life turned tragedy
And if you wanna make me happy, you wretch
Toe the edge, say hello to gravity for me!
Cause I don't care if you flatline
I'll never take that call
If my love is your lifeline
Then I'll gladly watch you fall
