Lyrics of Garbage by twenty one pilots
[Intro]
I didn’t (??)
(One, two)
[Verse 1]
I feel like garbage
I feel like
My systems are operating at twenty percent
[Pre-Chorus]
Or less
I’ll walk you through the numbers
I’ll show you nothing’s left
Oh-oh
[Chorus]
(Yeah, yeah) I’m biting down on my shirtsleeve
(Yeah, yeah) I’ll lash out if you’re in arm’s reach
(Yeah, yeah) I’m so lost, like, what is happening?
Like, like
I feel like garbage
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, yeah
[Verse 2]
I can’t decide
If I could feel more or I just knew less
When I was younger
Bright-eyed with wonder
Do you know which name it’s under? (Oh-oh-oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
Or less
I’ll walk you through the numbers
I’ll show you nothing’s left
Oh-oh
[Chorus]
(Yeah, yeah) I’m biting down on my shirtsleeve
(Yeah, yeah) I’ll lash out if you’re in arm’s reach
(Yeah, yeah) I’m so lost, like, what is happening?
Like, what is happening?
[Bridge]
Would you move closer if I grew quieter?
Maybe this is you
Maybe you don’t fix and you like it like this
[Chorus]
I feel like garbage, yeah
I feel like garbage
I feel like, yeah
Like
[Outro]
I’ll lash out, lash out, lash out (Hey)
I’m biting down on my shirtsleeve
Like, I’ll lash out, lash out, lash out
Don’t give up on me
Don’t give up on me
No, no, no, please, please, please
