[Verse 1]
Tell me I'm a burden
It no longer hurts and
I could the truth every now and then
Stuck here by the TV
Back seat of my body
Thinking, "What’s the last time I broke a sweat?'
Fun, isn't it?
All the self-destructive shit I get into when I’m alone
Fun, isn't it?
When I catch myself in the monitor just trying to fill that hole
[Chorus]
Uptight
And in the habit of beating myself up every night
You know I can't win a fair fight
Cover my own black eye
And this pattern of beating myself up every night
You know I can't win a fair fight
[Verse 2]
Fixate on a thing I said in 2009
Everyone remembers, I'd be willing to bet
I think I really loved you
Or some version of you
Now I love your ghost on the Internet
Fun, isn't it?
All the self-destructive shit I get into when I'm alone
Fun, isn't it?
When I catch myself in the monitor just trying to fill that hole
[Chorus]
Uptight
And in the habit of beating myself up every night
You know I can’t win a fair fight
Cover my own black eye
And this pattern of beating myself up every night
You know I can’t win a fair fight
[Bridge: Max Bemis]
Put myself up on the cross
Because that's where I belong
Put myself up on the cross
Because that’s where I feel comfortable
Put myself up on the cross
Because that's where I belong
(Oh no I'm just)
[Chorus]
Uptight
And in the habit of beating myself up every night
You know I can't win a fair fight
Cover my own black eye
And this pattern of beating myself up every night
You know I can’t win a fair fight
Oh no, no, no
Beating myself up every night
You know I can't win a fair fight
Cover my own black eye
And this pattern of beating myself up every night
You know I can't win a fair fight
