Bleach my hair, mess it up
Take my life, dress it up
Signed a deal, I got papercuts
They wanted them, but they got us
Yeah, yeah, uh
Sleepin' in, faked sick
Smoked a blunt, had a kid
Don't belong, I'm a punk
Hello world, you fuckin' suck
Hey, hey, keep my mouth shut and wave
Hey, hey, I'm dancin' on my grave
Mhmm, mhmm
Everybody's so nice lately (everybody's not nice)
Polarized feelings, I don't wear them on my face lately
(I don't wear them on my face)
Internalized everything the headlines say lately
(Everything they say)
Demonized just because I was an ángel face baby (baby)
(Career suicide)
Hey, hey, keep my mouth shut and wave
Hey, hey, I'm dancin' on my grave
Mhmm, mhmm
Bleach my hair, mess it up
Take my life, dress it up
Signed a deal, I got papercuts
They wanted them, but they got us
Yeah, yeah, uh
Hey
