lyrics

Apparently I’m an isolationist
I turn the AC up and hold my face to buttercups
I’ve been talking about my addictions lately
Like writing love notes in the dark
And drinking box wine to smash the patriarchy

Something’s wrong with human beings
Today I’ll choose my dog or maybe kiss some frog
One day I’ll be old and married to
Personified post cards and cut off jeans
Anthropomorphic art and Dairy Queen

Oowee honestly
I’m sick of rooms and blurry screens
Oowee honestly
Oowee I’ve worn out all the novelty

Sometimes I smell like burnt espresso
I try to control my dreams and be more than a machine
If my only companion was my dog
I’d be okay with going out
In a spaceship so I don’t touch the ground

I feel like I’m at senior prom again
In the corner without a friend
Trying to exist in the same space as people
Who only know how to pretend
Don’t get me wrong I could be someone who is
Destined to play along
To the same song that they all sway to when they’re dancing on their own

If they elected prom queen based on number of tears that you cried
I would have won that royalty and plastic crown by a landslide
