Mr! Erik wrote this song at age 21, so lyrically, it's a little on the emo side.
lyrics
I know the world’s a screwed up place
But you can’t see the expression on my face
I’m not a martyr not even a trace in me
I know what’s right and what’s wrong
And I know where I belong
Can’t send a sermon in my song, it can’t be
I don’t wanna teach
And I don’t wanna preach
I’m sick of being scared
And I am not prepared to carry you
I’m sick of feeling pain constantly
I know it’s not really healthy
And sometimes I need to think of me not you
I’m not able to heal your hurt
But you can wipe your tears on the sleeve of my shirt
I just want my just desserts, it’s true
