lyrics

i couldn't wait to be you, merigold
i couldn't wait to see you there
i couldn't wait to see your picture tonight
i couldn't wait but you were not there

who's that with those lovely brown eyes
little kid with a shit speck cow lick
the stuck up rich kids that ask "do you smoke"
the answer's always no,
i just come from a house that does
chainsmoking doral lite 100s
you'll die before they take away your pills
clothes on the floor matted with dog shit
leveling up's important
infidelity, but it's okay under false pretenses

and where the fuck were you
when father was taking chemo?
lying in the back room
trying to hide your meth habit.
the miracle headed boy tumbles down
but there's still pressure
don't you get a B! don't you get a C!
i'm so disappointed in you!
what the hell did you expect?
if i was supposed to be boy genius,
then it was you who dumbed me down.
paper thin trails of words that cut
breaking me down.

what's that with all the anger all the time
self-loathing and pity will never get you anything
and what's that you're always pining for?
all those loves, they all know that you are nothing
big stones break and collapse
but in between is something frightening to behold
i can't get over my fuck ups
so i'll just pursue hedonist gold

don't fret, just accept
you love the ones you love
you don't the ones you don't
the world still ticks on
