SCHADENFREUDE JUNKIE
I’m a schadenfreude junkie
It's all about me
I'm a schadenfreude junkie
It's all about what I want to see
The sweet taste of watching
Those crumbling walls
They're yours they're not mine
So I don't care at all
Well I know it's wrong
But it feels so right
In others struggles
To take such delight
Delicious downturns
A falling from grace
Delicious downturns
Just puts a smile back upon my face
I’m a schadenfreude junkie
Paying at the gate
Salivating for
The cruel twist of fate
Well I know it's wrong
But it feels so right
In others struggles
To take such delight
Stripped back, laid bare
The side we try to hide
The side we try to hide is always there
I'm a Schadenfreude junkie
Just like all the rest
The only difference is
I just confessed
