[Verse 1]
I never thought that I'd be destined to be known as "just a man whose only significant trait is he is in a shitty band"
And worse, it's all I talk about almost consistently
Hey, but it's the only thing I have slightly going for me
And I've never been the kind of guy to turn people's heads
And I think everything I make is mediocre at it's best
Though it's often reinforced this is what I should not pursue
I'm not trying to rebel, this is just what I like to do
[Chorus]
Oh I am no rebel wrapped in black
I'm more aftergreen (if even that)
I'm not worth shit, but that's okay
Because, in truth, I wouldn't have things any other way
And there's nothing more that I'd want to say
[Verse 2]
I used to think that it was special, but now I understand that there is nothing unique about being in a shitty band
Still, I will put in the effort in hope of things to come
So I can prove to myself and my friends that it can still be done
Why can't I inspire with each word?
Why do I have to try so hard to be heard?
[Chorus]
I am no rebel wrapped in black
I'm more aftergreen (if even that)
I'm not worth shit, but that's okay
Because, in truth, I wouldn't have things any other way
And there's nothing more that I'd want to say
