So I'll fight sleep with ammonia
So I'll fight sleep with ammonia
And every morning, with eyes all red
And every morning, with eyes all red
I'll miss them for the tears they shed
I'll miss them for the tears they shed
But I'm actually good
But I'm actually good
Can't help it if we're tilted
Can't help it if we're tilted
I am actually good
I am actually good
Can't help it if we-
Can't help it if we-
I am actually good
I am actually good
Can't help it if we're tilted
Can't help it if we're tilted
I am actually good
I am actually good
Can't help it if we're tilted
Can't help it if we're tilted
I miss prosthesis and mended souls
I miss prosthesis and mended souls
Trample over beauty while singing their thoughts
Trample over beauty while singing their thoughts
I match them with my euphoria
I match them with my euphoria
When they said, "Je suis plus folle que toi"
When they said, "I'm crazier than you"
But I'm actually good
But I'm actually good
Can't help it if we're tilted
Can't help it if we're tilted
I am actually good
I am actually good
Can't help it if we-
Can't help it if we-
I am actually good
I am actually good
Can't help it if we're tilted
Can't help it if we're tilted
I am actually good
I am actually good
Can't help it if we're tilted
Can't help it if we're tilted
Nous et la man on est de sortie
Us and the girl are out
Pire qu'une simple moitié
Worse than just half
On compte à demi-demi
We count half and half
Pile sur un des bas côtés
Stack on one of the lower sides
Comme des origamis
Like origami
Le bras tendu paraît cassé
The outstretched arm seems broken
Tout n'est qu'épis et éclis
Everything is just ears and bones
Ces enfants bizarres
These weird kids
Crachés dehors comme par hasard
Spit out as if by chance
Cachant l'effort dans le griffoir
Hiding the effort in the scratching post
Et une creepy song en étendard
And a creepy song as a standard
Qui fait
Who does
I'm doing my face
I'm doing my face
With magic marker
With magic marker
I'm in my right place
I'm in my right place
Don't be a downer
Don't be a downer
I'm doing my face
I'm doing my face
With magic marker
With magic marker
I'm in my right place
I'm in my right place
Don't be a downer
Don't be a downer
I am actually good
I am actually good
Can't help it if we're tilted
Can't help it if we're tilted
I am actually good
I am actually good
Can't help it if we-
Can't help it if we-
I am actually good
I am actually good
Can't help it if we're tilted
Can't help it if we're tilted
