​otis, part one

Arise my heart, and fill your voice with music
For he who shares not dawn with his song
Is one of the sons of ever darkness

I hate these boys
Who sing about girls and make us feel bad for them
I hate these boys
Who sing about girls like “ooh, she the one”
I hate these boys
Who sing about girls and say “this woman is my world”
Cause they’re all trash, and they’re all wrong - except for me

I hate these guys
Who say they see signs but their fate’s drawn out for them
I hate these guys
Who keep one heartbreak with them for life
I hate these guys who say
“how dare you think about leaving when I’ve ensnared you”
They’re all broken, they’re all lost - except for me

My love is real
My story’s real
But it’s all so hard to unpack
And I just need this off my back
So no one knows why our name’s otis - except for me
