[Verse 1]
Woke up to a busted sky
Same ceiling
Different crack
Someone gets a winning smile
I get panic
Peeling paint
Tired eyes in bathroom glass
Ask
"Who signed me up for this?"
Some kids get a soft parade
I got thrown in the abyss
[Pre-Chorus]
Is there a wheel that spins my name?
Some crooked book that writes my fate?
If there's a plan
It's gone insane
I'm just asking
[Chorus]
Why’s life so evil?
Like a lottery of hurt
Some hearts made of metal
Mine rips open at a word
Who picked me for the breaking?
Put my joy up on a shelf
Why’s life so evil
Or is it me
Or is it me myself?
[Verse 2]
Couples laughing in the rain
I’m the ghost that walks around them
Every song’s a private joke
Every joke’s a quiet anthem
I keep folding paper dreams
Tiny coffins in my drawer
Every time I think I’m through
Life just loads a little more
[Pre-Chorus]
Is there a switch that I can flip?
Some secret door I never get?
If there’s a test I always miss
Every question
[Chorus]
Why’s life so evil?
Like a lottery of hurt
Some hearts made of metal
Mine rips open at a word
Who picked me for the breaking?
Put my joy up on a shelf
Why’s life so evil
Or is it me
Or is it me myself?
[Bridge]
Hey
If you’re out there
Feeling wrecked (hey!)
Screaming quiet in your chest
We didn’t choose this crooked deck
But we can slam it
We can yell
Pile our curses in a choir (whoa)
Light that anger like a flare
If life’s a rigged and loaded dice
We’ll still throw it in the air
[Chorus]
Why’s life so evil?
Like a lottery of hurt
Some hearts made of metal
Mine rips open at a word
We’re the ones they keep on breaking
But we’re singing anyway
If life’s so evil
Hear us howl
Hear us howl today
