"I'm So Tired" is a song by the American punk rock band Fugazi.
Released on their 1999 album Instrument Soundtrack, the song is a piano ballad[2] played and sung by vocalist Ian MacKaye, a departure from the band's typical post-hardcore output.
Commentators have described the song's lyrics as pertaining to depression and suicidal ideation.
