    LYRICS:
    Why’d you use me when you should’ve used your right hand?
    It wasn’t good, you even could’ve used your left, man
    I've been beat by how I treat myself lately
    I’m so cruel, I make it too easy to hate me
    You could say that it takes two to do what’s been done
    I choose abuse and when it’s through there’s always just one
    I’m not blind, at least I see that it takes a toll
    Pay no mind while I spend myself, bankrupt my soul
    Cause, cause, cause
    This body’s not a home
    It’s a rental
    I lost the deposit
    I owe them still
    Don’t know who they are
    But they’re not gentle
    And they hate day-late payments
    On the rent bill
    It makes me mental
    That I can’t maintain
    Almost every scratch
    And almost every stain
    Are my fault
    But I feel like I’m the one to blame
    For them all
    No matter who I let inside
    To tear up the walls
    Yeah
    If I let them in, is that on me again?
    If I can’t even trust a friend, is that on me again?
    If I make it end, is that on me again?
    Is that on me again? Me again? Me again?
    I feel stupid when I lose it at the dumbest stuff
    Don’t know why I cry just when I try to open up
    Guess I break because I’m weak and pretend not to be
    My voice shakes when I speak and if you cared you’d see
    That, that, that
    It’s not ambition
    When I drive myself too hard
    Auto transmission
    I just take the ride too far
    Lose my vision
    Cause I don’t know where the wipers are
    Feels like a test because - you guessed it
    It’s a rental car
    It’s unfamiliar
    I’m probably gonna crash
    I can see my head
    As it smashes through the dash
    Would that be so bad?
    Yeah if I’m not alone
    If the passengers distract me or attack me
    Lose their seatbelts in the back seat
    Cover both my eyes then gag me
    Til we’re off the road
    What would the crime scene show?
    Yeah
    If I let them in, is that on me again?
    If I can’t even trust a friend, is that on me again?
    And if I make it end, is that on me again?
    Is that on me again? Me again? Me again?
    Rent’s not just for me
    I sublease, take a turn
    Yeah I give it out cheap
    And for sh** in return
    You can use it, abuse it
    Whatever you like
    At the end of the day
    Not your problem
    It’s mine
    Don’t worry about me
    I’m working it out
    Sometimes it just helps
    By thinking out loud
    Don’t worry about me
    I’m working it out
    Sometimes it just helps
    By thinking out loud
    And if I let them in, is that on me again?
    If I can’t even trust a friend, is that on me again?
    If I make it end, is that on me again?
    Is that on me again? Me again? Me again?
    If I let them in, is that on me again?
    If I can't even trust a friend, is that on me again?
    If I make it end, is that on me again?
    Is that on me again? Me again? Me again?
    Someone please tell me this time it’s not on me again, me again

    Hi. I saw yr gracious note on Linda Diaz's song. You're very talented.
    Bill Evans said to be true to the music & others will follow.
    I really liked SleepWaltzing & how you kept the camera focused on the foreground, blurring the dancing in the background.
    Seeing the lyrics deepened my impressions.
