No Misanthrope

Sometimes I dress in black.
Sometimes I hate the world
Sometimes it touches me
in ways I don't deserve
keep your labels off of me
you don't have the first idea
any box you put me in
will be completely empty
I'm
all
right

I'm no misanthrope

I love life

I'm no misanthrope

people are fine

I'm no misanthrope,

I just don't like
you.

Sometimes I hate myself
I still think I'm okay
I get self-critical
it's probably not a phase
keep your feelings off of me
you don't have the worst idea
thank you for the shoulder
in my face that's snot
it's not tears
I'm
all
right

I'm no misanthrope

I love life

I'm no misanthrope

people are fine

I'm no misanthrope,

I just don't like
you.

No I don't like your hat
No I don't like your shoes
And everything between
's a tool that I can't use
Any box you put me in
will be completely empty
but if you draw a line around
me where I stand, please look. See:
I'm
all
right

I'm no misanthrope

I love life

I'm no misanthrope

people are fine

I'm no misanthrope,

I just don't like
you.

And I don't care what lines you see
