(Intro) (Muffled, detuned synth pad, slow ticking clock sound) (Verse 1) Scrolling through old texts in the blue light glare My coffee’s getting cold but I’m just sitting there You said I looked dangerous, you said I looked mean But I’m just an extra in a static scene I didn't break the glass, I just let it slide There’s no venom left inside (Chorus) 'Cause I’m a sad boy Not a mad boy Not a boy toy A wish I could be glad boy Yeah, I’m a sad boy Walking in the rain Trying to find a way to numb the pain (Verse 2) You want a villain story, you want a big crash A leather jacket rebel smoking down to the ash But I’m just in my bedroom, drowning in the bass With an empty look painted on my face Don't wind me up like a plastic machine I’m not the monster that you want on your screen (Chorus) 'Cause I’m a sad boy Not a mad boy Not a boy toy A wish I could be glad boy Yeah, I’m a sad boy Walking in the rain Trying to find a way to numb the pain (Bridge) (Beat strips back to a pulsing 808 sub-bass, vocals drenched in reverb) I’m not holding a grudge, I’m just holding my breath Tired of the noise, bored to death I wish I had the spark to make a scene But I’m just faded green... (Chorus) 'Cause I’m a sad boy Not a mad boy Not a boy toy A wish I could be glad boy Yeah, I’m a sad boy Walking in the rain Trying to find a way to numb the pain (Outro) (The bass cuts out, leaving just a faint, warped piano loop) A wish I could be glad boy... Just a sad boy... Yeah. (Vinyl static cut)
