lyrics

Excuse me, I’m speaking
and I don’t want to be “that” bitch, but
it really seems like you can’t let it go;
like everytime a female says “no”
an angel loses its wings.

Aren’t early birds the first to blame?
We know their entrances and exits by name.
Wallets fat with false positivity,
you stare right through me.
All my crimes are on display;
skirts are leading Freds astray.

There’s a ghost inside my ear,
been yankin’ my chain 30 goddamn years
and I don’t wanna be “that” bitch, but
it really seems like he can’t let it be,
and I don’t help with all my...speaking…
...like I’m asking for it.

If I can’t see the forest for the trees
my existential crises
could be my only golden years memory,
hoping not, but crawling steadily
to that end. I’m the means,
jagged chipped shoulders, bare, ever-lean
toward hating
every last human being
as if they aren’t all fucking trying like me.

I just can’t pretend
I just can’t pretend fighting the inevitable
gives you any sense of peace.
Gaslights sell you happiness;
they’re lying through their pearly teeth.

Excuse me.
