On a Plain Lyrics

I'll start this off without any words

I got so high, I scratched 'till I bled

I love myself better than you

I know it's wrong so what should I do?

The finest day that I've ever had

Was when I learned to cry on command

Love myself better than you

I know it's wrong so what should I do?

I'm on a plain

I can't complain

I'm on a plain

My mother died every night

It's safe to say, don't quote me on that

I love myself better than you

I know it's wrong so what should I do?

The black sheep got blackmailed again

Forgot to put on the zip code

Love myself better than you

I know it's wrong so what should I do?

I'm on a plain

I can't complain

I'm on a plain

Somewhere I have heard this before

In a dream my memory has stored

As a defense I'm neutered and spayed

What the hell am I trying to say?

It is now time to make it unclear

To write off lines that don't make sense

Love myself better than you

I know it's wrong so what should I do?

And one more special message to go

And then I'm done and I can go home

Love myself better than you

I know it's wrong so what should I do?

I'm on a plain

I can't complain

I'm on a plain

I can't complain

I'm on a plain

I can't complain

I'm on a plain

I can't complain

I'm on a plain
