about

from 'Just Make It Stop'

lyrics

You've got to be stoic in the face of your own inherent evil
and tell yourself that's what punk rocks really about
You've got to show compassion to the psychopaths and pricks and selfish fucks
and tell yourself that that's what being good's really about

You've got to be who you are even when who you are is a shithead (maybe I'm not sure about this one)

You've got to keep on writing even when you don't seem to write anything good
Because sooner or later you'll write a song that's OK
You've got to keep on gigging even though you're sure that nobody understands your art
Because sooner or later somebody might (and then you can be friends)

You've got to practice what you preach and preach what you're too scared to practice
and then just keep practicing and eventually you'll get better
and do your best to stop fantasising about shooting yourself in the groin and bleeding to death on your couch
Because you share that couch with four other people (who, honestly, probably don't want to see you suffer)

And sometimes you have to write these lame, twee, cheesy little pep-talks into songs
because that whole sarcastic, sardonic, post-modern, ironic, pseudo-intellectual, hungover day-to-day of getting older leads you nowhere
except outside of your skull

AND YOU DON'T DESERVE TO DIE
AT LEAST NOT YET
YOU HAVEN'T EARNED THE RIGHT
SO SERIOUSLY, CHARLIE

don't kill yourself
