The title of this song is likely based off a quote from The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, “I thought drowning must be the kindest way to die, and burning the worst.”
They’re bored, that’s why she’s always on her phone
And we could stay here for the weekend, but I know I gotta get back home
She says she hates her last name because it makes her feel like she belongs
Her mother says she’s not her favourite and her brother comes in second maybe third, but she’s last
Yeah she will always be in last
In the blacklight I can tell a sick joke do you think I’m funny, or was it something else
And in the bathroom I could write your name down, are we all this desperate
I think the answer is “yes”
And in the blacklight I can tell a sick joke do you think I’m funny, or was it something else
And in the bathroom I could write your name down, are we all this desperate
I think the answer is “yes”
Oh
In the living room your father says to me through quiet simple words that was meant to be
So I will get my books and you could get the car and we could sleep here now, she says “I’m glad you broke my heart,”
And oh your airsoft gun is loaded and pointed towards my face
And oh your eyes they meet my eyes, and your eyes are full of hate
They say “the grass is always greener on the other side,”
But sometimes the grass is only green until the grass has finally died
In the blacklight I can tell a sick joke do you think I’m funny, or was it something else
And in the bathroom I could write your name down, are we all this desperate
I think the answer is “yes”
And in the blacklight I can tell a sick joke do you think I’m funny, or was it something else
And in the bathroom I could write your name down, are we all this desperate
Are we all this desperate
