Radio Fiction – A Particular Instance Of Self-loathing lyrics

Here’s the story of a boy
Who always lives in gloom
Take his picture, post it up
On a wall in his room
Let him reflect on everything neglected
In his life, why so sad?
3 times now, he’s tried to take his life
Then he realized “it’s not so bad”

Help me before I do something drastic
Who knew I was so full of pessimistic wit?
It’s a habit

And I say to myself “Nobody loves this boy”
Tell everyone “Never love this boy”

There I went again telling a story
Of someone else when it’s really me
Sorry if you don’t understand
Or even try to comprehend
For years now it’s been redundant
So for now leave me alone

Tears roll down my pale cheek
As I feel a shadow hung over me
It’s you my friend here with me
To comfort and console me

Give me the snow to help me cope
With whatever I think is wrong with me
What’s wrong with me?
So raise your glass and listen to me tell
All of you my farewell
I’ll see you all soon
I’m sorry it ended like this
