lyrics

if you'd try
you'd be a star little girl
please try
swallow your pills and you will
but don't fear
we won't be grilling you yet

my dear
don't get your hopes up quite yet
(you buy mustard i'll eat custard)
stay near
don't fill your mind with regret
(i see solo i will throw up)

and don't cry
you never tried anyway
so get your beauty
sleep tight, do-c-do
as i peel my face off nice and slowly
seashell, stop.
would you like advice ?

hold your head up high and cry instead of
existing as a washed up painting
and you'll be watched by millions in this twisted lucid
dream yourself away to a better place this evening
and if you'd try (your luck i'll try mine)
then i would try (feels so much like heaven)

so get your feet off of your shoulders
no one wants to hear you smolder
save that petty banter for a church

softly sitter skip the next phase
volunteer to roll me upside down
and i see me an orphanelli
for i seem to caught inside this nightmare

and if you fear what it's like to be a doe deer
why do you even try

i don't want to go so throw me
off the stage out back as far as
i've seen with my eyes so long have tired

hold me closer macaroni
lay me down here low my pony
tell me that i'm sleeping with my eyes shut

i'll feel it when they come whenever
everything is done forever
keep my color coded hell together

thank you for yourself surrounding
in the bedroom, bathroom drowning
schizophrenic entertainment outing

i'll be happy when my name is sadie
you'll be happy when i'm in the gravy
i will bake fake fruitcakes in the shower
you'll be glad your rainbow's not a starburst
