Clowns In My Coffee Nervous Young Men

[Verse 1]
I’d rather cry than be depressed
I’d rather lie than be my best
I’d rather try to be myself less
I’d rather die than confess

[Pre-Chorus 1]
With every move, I pain myself
With every effort, I drain myself
With every hater, I love myself
With every lover, I hate myself

[Chorus]
Everybody hates a clown
Everybody dies and drowns
Everybody hates a party
Everybody loves a funeral

[Verse 2]
I’d rather love than be estranged
I’d rather hate than take the blame
I’d rather quit than do this again
I’d rather pretend that this rhymes

[Pre-Chorus 2]
With every light, I can stop myself
With every dream, I can love myself
With every statement, contradict myself
With every syllable, I’ll make this rhyme too long
