"WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE" lyrics
It's like my life was written by William Shakespeare
The type of comedy where everybody feels weird, oh
This lion's not concerned about his day beers
Cause every single character he loved has learned to stay clear
More of a statement than a coming of age
More of the mirror that society hates
Chasing the stars and landing minimum wage
Young in the heart, but getting old in the face
Willie man, you wrote me like an asshole
And backed me up into a corner fighting southpaw
From the hero to the counted out and pounced on
I'm hoping I'm the lead you wrote to prove the crowd wrong
So come and watch me fall apart, because you're feeling it too
Ain't it funny how things never work out how we want them to
Laugh it off, it's easy
Until the curtains close
It's tragic when you read it
But it's funny at the show
Peter Piper picked a pepper, I picked out a series of
Particularly problematic people pleasing tendencies
Pushed away the pull of people inside of my life to pick up
Friends who pulled a fast one into ill-intentioned frenemies
Backstabbing, betrayal, bullshit, and bad luck
Rehash, and regret the reap that I sowed, fuck
William wrote me a season of growth, but
I never liked the idea of growing up
So come and watch me fall apart because you're feeling it too
Ain't it funny how things never work out how we want them to
Laugh it off, it's easy
Until the curtains close
It's tragic when you read it
But it's funny at the show
I made this whole project sitting here
I'm at my desk
Thank you for listening
I love you
This is about, on paper, the hardest time of my life
But you guys got me through it
I'm so thankful. Thank you for being here
I love you so much, I hope this helped you
A wise man once said
True swag only comes from pain and suffering
So, you know, keep that in mind
And I'mma leave you on a high note
The type of comedy where everybody feels weird, oh
This lion's not concerned about his day beers
Cause every single character he loved has learned to stay clear
More of a statement than a coming of age
More of the mirror that society hates
Chasing the stars and landing minimum wage
Young in the heart, but getting old in the face
Willie man, you wrote me like an asshole
And backed me up into a corner fighting southpaw
From the hero to the counted out and pounced on
I'm hoping I'm the lead you wrote to prove the crowd wrong
So come and watch me fall apart, because you're feeling it too
Ain't it funny how things never work out how we want them to
Laugh it off, it's easy
Until the curtains close
It's tragic when you read it
But it's funny at the show
Peter Piper picked a pepper, I picked out a series of
Particularly problematic people pleasing tendencies
Pushed away the pull of people inside of my life to pick up
Friends who pulled a fast one into ill-intentioned frenemies
Backstabbing, betrayal, bullshit, and bad luck

So come and watch me fall apart because you're feeling it too
Ain't it funny how things never work out how we want them to
