about

The first of bare singles this year.

lyrics

(shuguddaboom)
Who would’ve known she would sit on the throne
of my pink fluorescent non-existent brain
She’s all I see in the clouds above the trees
She surrounds me like the depths of the blue sea

Forgive me I can’t help but stare
But I like the color of your hair

I can see through all of your fake smiles
And I miss the sadistic little child
In you
If I can replace
The looks on your face
Then just let me know

Who would’ve known I would live to become
a walking punchline and a punching bag for all
And could it have been that my self confidence
was the cheapest thing you ever robbed me of

Believe me I can’t wait one night
But if you deny me that’s alright
Alright

Now I can see through all of your fake smiles
And I miss the sadistic little child in you
If I can replace the looks on your face
Then just let me know

The more that I think about it
The less sanity I retain
And the longer I let the clock succeed
The further she slips away

You’re the offspring of immigrants
14 centuries ago
You’re the farmer’s daughter
and that can’t be all she wrote
Say yes Scarlett no please don’t run away
Say yes Scarlett no please don’t run away
No please don’t run away
