she spent so much time feeling sorry for herself
she got burned out so fast
and it wasn't from the bottle being passed around
contrary to popular belief
oh the prodigy got tired
and decided not to toe the line tonight
because she was so sorry for herself
i'm so sorry for myself
ohh
secretly she never liked
the walls she built for herself
what's a crashed car in the face of insignificance?
or a bottle of wine in an ocean
or moral ambiguity
when you don't know what you're doing
oh the prodigy got scared
and decided she would lie and run away
because she was so sorry for herself
i'm so sorry for myself
ooh
she didn't quite know what to do
but she didn't want the walls she built for herself.
she's always said that if she had the choice
she'd choose freedom over sentiment
she's always said that if she could let go
she wouldn't feel so sorry for herself
i'm so sorry for myself
i am so sorry for the state i'm in
ohh

confession

i'm genuinely sorry for my sins
I know that I fucked up a couple hundred thousand times
but i'm a not so well oiled machine
who runs on caffeine, gasoline, and millions of lies
i've told to people just like you
and i'm breaking down now
my gears are slowly grinding to a halt
from all the times you've tried
to break me down
and I just wanna be clean
of your sins and mine
all the times your words have burned
holes in my mind
lit a fire in my belly
clean of your pack of teen beauty queens and lies
and all the times i've had to needlessly apologize
so let's cut ties
let's say our goodbyes
'cause i wanna be free now
i wanna start clean
i know the penalty for my crime, for my confession
will be death by a thousand cuts
save me father for i have sinned
oh, please God, save the both of us
and you know we're breaking down as well as I do
so what's this lie that you've been living in
well, this is my confession
and i've had enough of your delusion
and I just wanna be clean
of your sins and mine
all the times your words have burned
holes in my mind
lit a fire in my belly
clean of your pack of teen beauty queens and lies
and all the times i've had to needlessly apologize
so let's cut ties
let's say our goodbyes
'cause i wanna be free now
i wanna start clean

and I know you're not happy, i understand
but it can get hard to take sometimes

vulnerable again

since i last saw you
i have cut my hair and i have nearly drowned my demons
pushed them held them under so that now they're barely breathing
never to be found again
and i had lost faith in the power
of pretty girls and city lights and nightlife
all of these colours and lines in my mind
that were mine and mine to keep
give me some time
before i come and join the nightlife
i have just learned
i've just remembered how to be vulnerable again
and i was wasting my time
listening to the hungry ghosts that live inside my head
they locked all the windows and doors, they locked me in
they didn't want me to be vulnerable again
i'm vulnerable again
i'm vulnerable again
i'm vulnerable again
i'm vulnerable again
in a couple years' time
i will run away from this sorry little shoreline, where i was born i
know all these people and faces and places
just like the sun knows to stay away from here
and i
was cautiously carefully hoping for a sign to appear
i was banging my head on the wall i was crawling
hoping i would get so small that i would just disappear
give me some time
before i come and join the nightlife
i have just learned
i've just remembered how to be vulnerable again
and i was wasting my time
listening to the hungry ghosts that live inside my head
they locked all the windows and doors, they locked me in
they didn't want me to be vulnerable again
i'm vulnerable again
i'm vulnerable again
i'm vulnerable again
i'm vulnerable again
oh give me a minute and i'll come and see the city lights
(come and join the nightlife)
give me a minute and i'll come and find the streets that know my name
give me a minute and i'll come and join the nightlife
give me a minute and i will be alright again
give me a minute and i'll come and find the streets that know my name
give me a minute and i'll come and join the nightlife
give me a minute and i will be alright again
give me some time
before i come and join the nightlife
i have just learned
i've just remembered how to be vulnerable again
and i was wasting my time
listening to the hungry ghosts that live inside my head
they locked all the windows and doors, they locked me in
they didn't want me to be vulnerable again
i'm vulnerable again
i'm vulnerable again
i'm vulnerable again
i'm vulnerable again
