Another life

Another story

She walked out

Said I was boring

About 3AM

That's when I called my friends

We hit the bar

Sent myself flying

Shit I said

I'm never trying

Til' the bitter end

But every now and then

I wonder what it feels like

To be more than I am

...

I traded all my friends for drugs and the internet

Ah, shit

Am I winner yet?

Look quick

Is he a winner yet?

Mom's back home with a drink and a cigarette

I traded all my friends for drugs and the internet

Ah, shit

Am I winner yet?

Look quick

Hasn't hit him yet

Mom's back home with a drink and a cigarette

...

Still hasn't hit him yet

And I don't wanna base my actions on reactions or the things they say

And I don't wanna hit delete on all

The parts of me that they might hate

Now I'm laying in my bed

And I can't get out my head

It's all because, all because

I traded all my friends for drugs and the internet

Ah, shit

Am I winner yet?

Look quick

Is he a winner yet?

Mom's back home with a drink and a cigarette

I traded all my friends for drugs and the internet

Ah, shit

Am I winner yet?

Look quick

Hasn't hit him yet

Mom's back home with a drink and a cigarette

...

Still hasn't hit him yet

...

Still hasn't hit him yet

...

I sold my soul

And all I got

Is likes from strangers

Love on the internet

Drugs and the internet

I wonder what it feels like

To be more than I am

I am

...
