"Worst Case Kid" lyrics

"Worst Case Kid"

Dysphoria melts me when I get home
Try to loosen my shoes
She said leave it alone
But I tighten her words
Around my wrists
Like I've only been hers
Like I've only had this

Sitting by the river
With the sky in her eyes
I always feel like a tourist
Wanna know what it's like
I've been staring down the barrel
Of another life
Said I could've been a lawyer
We would've been fine then

Walking around with my head down
I'm a worst case kid
In a plague pit town
Standing at the stake
Sayin I'm cool by myself
But I'm a liar in the end
I'm gonna need your help

And look at you a killer
With a jaw for news
I always feel like a tourist
Only came here for you
I've been staring down the barrel
Of another life
Said I could've been your courage
We could've been
We could've been fine

All of the ways that it's too late now
Wearing your clothes as the clouds came down
Calling my friends
Said the witch is dead
Cut through the park
Try to catch my breath

Dysphoria melts me when I get home
Try to loosen my shoes
She said leave it alone
But I tighten her words
Around my wrists
Like I've only been hers, and
We could've been fine
