Trashfire

Fuck

Hands pressed to your thighs as if you could protect them

From the thoughts that you've had that conspire against them

Even though you need them to get by

Last chance to be a kid with a cereal box

Had a dream in your head but you woke up and lost it

And you only get a few more candles

Before you're too old to try again

To be a wreck

To get the sympathy of friends who see that you're not there yet

But they say that you'll get there

And then all of a sudden, you're a bad liar

'Cause you said that it would get better

But all of a sudden, it's a trashfire

And you can't put it out, can't put it out

All of a sudden, you're a hostage

To things you thought you wanted

All of a sudden, you're a hot mess

And you can't sweat it out, can't sweat it out

Oh, oh, oh

Gets tough being young

But you do it for kicks

Kinda hate how it tastes

But you eat it with chopsticks

Existentialist

You wanna know what all of this is

Four more months

It's just a season

Cut your loss

You'll start to think that

Things you have are things you'll lose

It's normal but it's not the truth

And all of a sudden, you're a bad liar

'Cause you said that it will get better

But all of a sudden, it's a trashfire

And you can't put it out, can't put it out

All of a sudden, you're a hostage

To things you thought you wanted

All of a sudden, you're a hot mess

And you can't sweat it out, can't sweat it out

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

And all of a sudden, you're a bad liar

All of a sudden, you're a trashfire

But if anybody treats you like a hazard

You're the one with your thumb on the lighter
