Fall into the screen and I'm gone

Oh, people laugh

Oh, the hilarious scenarios

The pizza man, the pool guy

We laugh it away

This monster hides subliminally corroding our lives

Bbm9
Sex should be a rite of passage

Dbm9                                        Gm9
But our kids are watching fisting, pissing, hitting, pounding

                                 Abm9
And I don't wanna shame anyone's kink

                            Bbm9
(don't wanna shame no one's kink!)

              Bbm9
But there's a level of psychological complexity there

Dbm9
(psychological complexity)

Gm9                 Abm9
...Much less 11, or 9! It's catastrophic!

Bbm9                                          Dbm9
There is an erectile dysfunction epidemic (Erectile dysfunction!)

            Gm9
That nobody talks about!

                                   Abm9
You know at least drug addicts and alcoholics are kind of cool

Abm9
Musicians and artists- their redemption stories are honored

Bbm9                              Dbm9
Someone has an AA chip, it's like fuck yes, good on you bro!

    Gm9
But porn? No way man!

       Abm9
No one fucking honors that!

        Bbm9                                Dbm9
And the porn dudes are always the ones that become such shits

    Gm9                         Abm9
The petty whiplash cruelty of a man-child scorned
N.C. (Yeah I wouldn't have fucked you anyway) N.C. (You're about a five, ugly and fat with shit hair) N.C. (A repressed and unfeminine lump, unfuckable cunt) N.C. (You need to be gagged) N.C. You need to be gagged! N.C. But then it's like... N.C. If I say something, am I pushing him somewhere darker? Radicalizing him? N.C. Like... is this guy the next fucking manifesto mass murderer? N.C. And so I take on that weight too N.C. There's no fucking equivalency here! N.C. There're these guys online, and they say that the world is an all-encompassing black pill N.C. That you have to constantly shove into the back corner of your mind N.C. There're these guys online and they- they say that we don't fuck N.C. 'Cause we're low status, introvert, ugly, awkward, outcasts N.C. And the Chads and Stacys will never let us in N.C. The Chads and Stacys just laugh at us N.C. There're these guys online and they say it's us against them! Make your mark! N.C. And I feel the pull of that [Chorus]

I feel my body stretch between two cliffs

Bb
One side is fantasy

Cm
The other reality

  Ab                                 Eb
I feel my fingers start to lose their grip

                Bb                G7
And I can't hold on (I can't hold on)

        Ab            Eb
I could be so good at love (I feel my body stretched between two cliffs)

        Bb            Cm
I could be so good at love (one side is fantasy, the other reality)

        Ab            Eb
I could be so good at love (I feel my fingers start to lose their grip)

        Bb            G7/Bb                     Ddim7
I could be so good at love (And I can't hold on)
[Outro]
Ab                       Eb
I ask my mom, why do you keep going back there?

Bb                           G7            Cm
Every day working the slots, she's lost so much

Ab                             Eb
And then I keep doing things I know aren't good for me

    Bb
But where am I supposed to meet people?

Bdim7
Church? Fuck!
