Sit back and let me tell you about the sadness,   About the beast that's been gnashing its teeth trying to destroy me   It rears its head every time I'm alone   In the middle of the night if you don't answer your phone   It snarls at me, it hides underneath my bed   It sinks its teeth in every corner of my head   Don't try to stop it, don't try to control it   Don't try to defeat it, don't try to console it      It's unstoppable and it's a part of me   Your best bet is not to get too close to me   Stay the fuck away, stay out of its reach   Or it will poison you like it's been poisoning me      It tells me what I'm supposed to say   And it controls every move that I make   You've got me all wrong   It's not the real me screaming you away   It's that selfish sadness ruining every day   Everything is wrong
