Bad Time

Sorry you caught me at a bad time
See, I thought tonight I might be dying
Nobody told me you could get up and just try again
I'm not trying to be anxious
But I wish for once you would believe that
I'm not afraid of you, honey
I'm just afraid of everything

So if you want to pretend that I'm fine
Then I'll pretend that I'm not scared
But there's a demon in my head
And she's talking in my ear
If you wanna say I'm fine
Well, that’s your agenda
But there’s a demon in my heart
And I named her Linda

Sorry, I swear she didn’t mean that
Her heart is pure and she is perfect
And she can carry all the weight of your world on her back

I don't deserve the high appraisals
For pretending that I'm stable
Or crying underneath the tip jar on our merch table

So if you wanna call me your role model
Well, I have some qualms with that
There are many better options
And that's just a fucking fact

I'm not really doing "better"
I'm just scared and lonely
So thanks for coming to my show –
I’m a fucking phony
