I promise that I’ll try not to do anything wrong
Turn on the bright lights
It’s 2:00 AM
Turn on the bright lights
I need to wake up my mind
My beach-weak mind
Keep it light, just for tonight
I need a chance to rest my mind
After fearing I messed up everything
With my best friend
Oh god, I’m so tired of waiting for it all to end
I know I’ll fuck it up like I did
What am I supposed to do?
Twelve weeks in, damn, I miss you
And I got left on a roof
overlooking that lake I talk about every day
I wish I could say,
“hey, you’re beautiful, wanna do nothing with me”
but I’m too scared to do shit
And she took aim to fire wildly,
And somehow still hit the bullseye
And how do I tell someone when they take a guess
And that guess is correct
If heaven is full of people
Then why don’t I just stay on earth?
Turn on the bright lights
And she took aim to fire wildly,
And somehow still hit the bullseye
And how do I tell someone when they take a guess
And that guess is correct
My lyrical rut
Is what you see here, but
Don’t be discouraged, my friend
The ghost of my old man said "I like it that you’ll always be my son"
I said "fuck you fuck you fuck you"
I said "I always wanted to have long hair"
But he didn't even care
Last night I stood outside the door
to my folk’s room for an hour
They were fast asleep,
I took a shower
Wished I was wearing a dress
When I went to heaven
But really I was just hanging out
With the stoners and the drunks
Outside the 7-Eleven
Last night I told myself I was far too austere
But really I was distracting myself because my friends
berated and called me a queer
And I got a call yesterday
“You’re never going to be a girl, settle for being gay”
The body that I hated came to me in a midnight fright
Said “Jen, in heaven everything isn’t so right”
So I took off all my clothes and followed her to hell
But first she waited fifteen years outside of my jail cell
But she didn't even care
And we’re never gonna get a job!
No, we’re never gonna get a job!
