Metabolism Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wanna be outrageous
But inside, I know I'm plain
So plain

[Bridge]
Just plain
Boring and plain

[Chorus]
Silently obsessed with death
Just like anyone, I guess
Tryin' for the perfect life
End up bein' in denial

[Verse 2]
I wanna be somebody
Wanna be somebody like you
Like you
Like you

[Bridge]
Like you
Instead of me

[Chorus]
Silently obsessed with death
Just like anyone, I guess
Tryin' for the perfect life
End up being in denial

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
