[Verse 1]
At one time when the days were nectar sweet
I was a lovely boy
I brought smiles in my bag to pass around to all
The unpleasents I passed
As life walked by

[Chorus]
I noticed it look at me and
Not once did it stop its horrible stare
I made that my occupation
Self proclaimed devourer of problems

It must be a long project to finally bring someone to their knees
It didn't like me fucking up the balance
I'm undoing life's work

[Verse 2]
Since I never once saw that gaze fade
My bag became smaller
The unpleasents wouldn't accept my smiles as easily as before
I think I'm losing my friends

[Chorus]
I noticed it look at me and
Not once did it stop its horrible stare
I made that my occupation
Self proclaimed devourer of problems
[Bridge]
I think I was a lovely boy
It feels like a million years since I, since I was him
It feels like a million years

[Chorus]
I noticed it look at me and
Not once did it stop its horrible stare
I made that my occupation
Self proclaimed devourer of problems

[Outro]
To think those stories were a lie
And all he had to do was fix a gaze on me
To turn it all around
I think I was a lovely boy
Let's see if we can't make a lovely lovely man
