Lyrics (as transcribed on Genius):

Chinese Tattoo:
Just like the Chinese character tattoo
That's healing on his upper arm
"Strength" doesn't mean what you once thought it to
Don't be alarmed, there's nothing wrong

No one's ever going to treat you right
You're attracting the wrong kind
And you're always left with nothing but anger
And lord knows that it hurts
When coming to terms with
The lessons you're learning

You're trying not to show your eyes
When you're addressing a new "Mr. Right"
This isn't love but it still feels nice
With these immaculate and warm insides

Never once stopping like a shark in its sleep
Moving just to breathe
This is what you call "free?"
Harsh as it seems, maybe "love" means being naïve

The pure and eager part of me
Like pledging some sorority
Is losing its virginity
In some bathroom during "hell week"

Flightless Bird:
When you're a flightless bird with wings
Sometimes the humor of a bitter god just loses all its novelty
So now you get too drunk to sleep
You spend the night driving with one eye closed to keep the lines from doubling

Replaying the gory scene incessantly
Forgot the safe word was "imaginary"
Forgot about my poor selective memory
Feeling like a fat kid at the beach who's still weighing
The pros and cons of weak bulimic teeth

Means that never reach an end
That's what you get for living in your head
You breathe 3 A.M. breath
And tell yourself that this is for the best
You tell yourself that this is for the best
You tell yourself that this is for the best
You tell yourself that this is for the best
You tell yourself that this is for the best
You tell yourself that this is for the best
You tell yourself that this is for the best
You tell yourself that this is for the best
You tell yourself that this is for the best
You tell yourself that this is for the best

Poor Grammar:
This life is punctuated by some missteps
Failing to glean the right emphasis and the meaning
This life is punctuated like a texting session
Between two overheated, insecure teens

You try to say what you mean
"I have to leave but I'm not ready"
Lip-sync the comforting scene
Trembling jaws can't stop stuttering

I can't see you when I need to
How am I supposed to get through?
Method-actor, suffering
Try repeating once again this time with feeling

Premeditated like some sick joke
Waited all night for you
Waited all night for you

The Comfort Of A Laugh Track:
Is there something you should say
That I don't want to know?
Trying to remain composed
While asking me to go
When I scare the last away
All of the fault will be my own

Why is it so hard to speak
To people I don't know
Is it something that you learn
When constantly alone?
When did I become a man
Trapped inside a ghost?

If you could only see me now
I know I'd disappoint somehow
I'm stuck inside a fantasy
Where I could be all you would need

Will I live in shame of the things in the past that I should have done for you?
And is it possible to forgive all the ignorant ones if they're just too young?

Fake love, yeah, you know you'll be truly missed
Fake love must be some kind of abstinence
Let's not make much more out of all of this
Let's not, but we still can pretend we did
