lyrics

They say my life lacks context there's no way to work this out
But if you had a better voice maybe you'd be found
Even if you were taller, stronger shit your out of luck
'Cause boy you ain’t cool
Good luck gettin’ fucked

Now I am taking the time to cross my T's and dot 
I should have known that anime shows will never mean more than 
Girls or the game
Let's face the fact kid that no one will know your name
Well on this path I'll persevere towards fame

'Cause I've been told that “you are no one”
“You are the lesser I am the better”
I've been told that “you are nobody”
“You wish you could be me,
A manlier version of YOU”

Really what does that mean?
To be a man, to be a part of this scene
I guess that excludes the feelings and tunes I sing

'Cause damn you if you like Debussy
Damn you if you like to sing
Damn you if you like to treat a girl right 

'Cause I've been told that “you are no one”
“You are the lesser I am the better”
I've been told that “you are nobody”
“You wish you could be me
A manlier version of YOU”

Let's get the story straight
If I do not fit in your box
I'm a loser, I'm a queer, I'm a prick, or I'm weird
If only you could see yourself
An empty vessel projecting some shit self-image
But here's the bitter pill to swallow about you
No one gives a fuck 

'Cause after to you my story continues and I grow up, I get fucked
And I lose myself just like anyone else
But that's just the tragedy of life
It all takes some time

Now I've grown older
I am someone
I should have known better
Never the lesser
I've grown older
I am somebody
Only one who can be be me
A nerdier version of YOU!
