lyrics

Old college friend just got engaged
A picture of the ring posted on her Facebook page
Another one just had a kid
Everyone's in love and I'm ready to call it quits

I spend my days swiping right
Hoping for a match, somebody to spend the night
The lonely thoughts begin to bloom
"I'm gonna die alone," at this point, I hope it's soon

Money, confidence, and game are all things that I haven't got
Everyone seems to be moving forward while I'm in the exact same spot
Even my mother thinks that her grandkids will be adopted
'Cause I used to know how to be romantic
But now my heart is just as useless as my appendix

I'm losing faith in my fate, in my fate

Outside it's such a lovely day
I wouldn't know 'cause I'm still in bed, wasting away
I need a goal, I need a plan
But I don't have the resolve or the attention span

Oh-whoa-oh, the sweet despondency
Of an average life is slowly transforming me into a
Sad sack with bad posture, a miserable monster
And I just can't be bothered to conjure up a panacea

Money, confidence, and game are all things that I haven't got
The world keeps spinning about yet it seems like I'm at a dead stop
I feel disconnected and detached from everybody around
'Cause I used to know how to be a person
But now I'm just a walking disaster and everything's a mess

I'm losing faith in my fate at an alarming rate
Hemorrhaging hope, I'd hang myself if only I could find the rope
White flag, I'm done. Take this life back. I want another one
Yeah, I'm losing faith in my fate, in my fate

(Shredsville. Population: Mike Turnwall)

I'm losing faith in my fate, in my fate
Hemorrhaging hope, I'd hang myself if only I could find the rope
White flag, I'm done. Take this life back. I want another one
Yeah, I'm losing faith in my fate, in my fate

I'm losing faith (losing faith)
I'm losing faith in my fate
