EVERYTHING HURTS ALL THE TIME

 

I used to be so imaginative

delusional in my wonderment

but now, I’ve been jaded by time prematurely

stood by and watched my innocence die

it’s symptomatic of someone who’s been lied to

beguiled into believing zero has multiples

(it never made sense)

and I’ve been ruined now

I let myself drown in those memories

now nostalgia is my fucking enemy

 

everything hurts all the time

most the time it’s like I’m punished for existing

everything hurts all the time

most the time it’s like I’m punished for existing

 

I mean nothing to no one

well, this I’ve known for years

and it’s not been until now it’s made me restless

my vision’s had a fissure driven through the middle

it’s fallen apart

 

I used to be so imaginative with my illusions

caprices in my idyll of grandeur made me lose them

my naivety has corrupted everything

now my comeuppance is coming

no…it’s already here!

 

everything hurts all the time

most the time it’s like I’m punished for existing

(I’m trying my best!)

everything hurts all the time

most the time it’s like I’m punished for existing

(I’m trying my best!)

​

everything hurts all the time

everything hurts all the time

 

I mean nothing to no one

I'm holding on

enduring

killing the time that remains

I mean nothing to no one

a modicum

of optimism

exacerbates the pain

 

everything hurts all the time

most the time it’s like I’m punished for existing

(I’m trying my best!)

everything hurts all the time

most the time it’s like I’m punished for existing

(I’m trying my best!)

 

everything hurts all the time!

(can't you see how hard I try? how hard I try)

everything hurts all the time!

(I swear to god, I try! I try! I try! I try!)

​

I'm trying my best

I'm trying my best

I'm trying my best

but unless god exists

only one thing could make it better
