[Verse 1] Is anybody happy with life in the backseat? Trying to master the art of detaching Is anybody driving? Is anyone asking? Is anyone grasping that nothing lasts? [Pre-Chorus] Woah I know we're all fucking exhausted Woah Am I in my head or have we all lost it? [Chorus] So I ask myself "Am I the only one looking for substance?" Got high, it only left me lonely and loveless Don't wanna end up in a casket, head full of maggots Body full of jack shit, I get in abundance Am I the only one looking for substance? [Verse 2] I don't remember last week, got my head scratching But everyone's acting like nothing is lacking I think we might be crashing, everyone's laughing Time is just passing, yet nothing lasts [Pre-Chorus] Woah I know we're all fucking exhausted Woah Am I in my head or have we all lost it? [Chorus] So I ask myself "Am I the only one looking for substance?" Got high, it only left me lonely and loveless Don't wanna end up in a casket, head full of maggots Body full of jack shit, I get in abundance Am I the only one looking for substance? [Bridge] Am I talking to myself? Is anyone out there screaming at the walls? I can't relate at all, relate at all Fuck the theatrics, what happened to classic? Give me the real shit, give me the magic [Chorus] So I ask myself "Am I the only one looking for substance?" Got high, it only left me lonely and loveless (Don't wanna end up in a) Casket (Head full of) Maggots (Body full of) Jack shit (I get in) Abundance Am I the only one looking for substance? [Outro] Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah
