[Verse 1:]
Desperate times call for desperate measures
I'm simply unable to keep myself together
And I want to remember what it was
That I did to make some shit up
To get you to think that I am what I'm not
I think it was magic, I think it was rotten
I think I can rebuild myself if I can lose you now
But I'm gonna have to learn to love myself and I don't fucking know how

[Chorus:]
So I cast an ancient spell
To reach a higher self
I try to no avail
I try, I always fail

[Verse 2:]
Yeah, it's a feeling that I get and I feel it deep within
And it rises from the bottom to the surface of my skin
And I arise out of the flames, a phoenix new and unrestrained
If that ain't magic then I don't know what is
But it's not something easy to explain
The more that you attack me, the more I lose my aim
And the more I lose my aim, the more hits that you can take
And you take, and you take, and you take, and you take
[Chorus:]
(Aw fuck!)
So I cast an ancient spell
(I'm fucking tired of this shit, man, I swear to god)
To reach a higher self (God damn it!)
I try to no avail
I try, I always fail

[Outro:]
Did I ask for your opinion? No I didn't, shut the fuck up
Yes I know it's lame, I'm not okay, I'm tired of the fighting
I am sick of all this fucking shit I think I'm gonna leave
Yes I know that you want that and I'm willing to oblige
I know you hate me and you hate everyone like me and that's fine
I'll just disappear, I think you're better off without me anyway
And bigot motherfuckers like you make me sick
To my stomach, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you
Like I hate myself right now and everything I've ever done
Cause I shoot myself in the foot
Time after time after time
