lyrics

Verse:

Now I see it
Crystal clear
You struggled much the same

But you got lucky
Or something like it
Suffered no consequence

Pre Chorus:

And you weaponized what you had
I would’ve done the same
Can’t blame when the claws come out
When you’re backed in a corner

Chorus:

You’re so smug
But I know you’re afraid
But you can still save yourself from your head
Go on, tell yourself what you refuse to hear

Verse 2:

You never had to
Push a broom
Or break one bead of sweat

It doesn’t matter
You’ve got yours
And now I have mine too

Pre Chorus 2:

No use hanging on, balling up my fists
Wasting my precious time
We’ll both eat shit every once in a while
Best to chew with our mouths closed

Chorus:

You’re so smug
But I know you’re afraid
But you can still save yourself from your head
Go on, tell yourself what you refuse to hear

Bridge:

Things have changed
For the worse, or the better, can’t tell
Not much better than the worse that I’ve felt
And the years turn to stare me down

Things have changed
For the worse, or the better, can’t tell
Not much better than the worse that I’ve felt
And the years turn to stare me down

Chorus:

You’re so smug
But I know you’re afraid
But you can still save yourself from your head
Go on, tell yourself what you refuse to hear

You’re so smug
But I know you’re afraid
But you can still save yourself from your head
Go on, tell yourself what you refuse to hear
