I'm in the shower I'm gonna come out clean let's do some slick behavior lather rinse repeat I love support groups I like attention cheap could you make selflessness feel easier for me? I'm done trying to fool you twice who's perfect, perfect, perfect after all? how could I get tight with you without my flaws? would you let me get loud with you? would you let me break out with you? I've turned a corner I'm gonna prove past doubt before you think I'm hopeless you should feel it out
