Lyrics

I like other people's stories
'Cause I haven't got my own
Sitting here with strangers
So I cannot feel alone

Though my life's a failure
I know others who'll succeed
They're the ones with talent
And I've heard that's all you need

I think I'll just fade away
Deeper in the shadows
Of this backstreet cafe

I don't need a menu
It's as unchanging as my life
They have trouble choosing
While I straighten up my fork and knife

Maybe I'm just lonely
But I see them as a child
Overcome with envy
So I see no flaws, just perfect lives

So what would they think of me
If I said I hadn't held someone
Since last year's January

I've got a dead end job
Work nine to five
With these dead end genes
I'm half alive
I may seem fine while I just pretend I'm not simply waiting for my dead end

Sitting in silence
A pointless existence
Oh god, can't you see me?
I'm here

I think I'll just fade away
Deeper in the shadows
Of this backstreet cafe
