part 1:
scrub out the nests
im watching movies until i choke
and the kingdom is slipping away
but im rushing on my walk
cause i feel like jesus's daughter, and i know
i can take it just a little bit longer, yeah
out of the forest but the trees keep coming (i know, i know, i know)
and its days like this i dont go outside (i know, i know, i know)
and your page's all wrong
its a different book
i think about it every day
but doesnt everyone
(i know, i know, i know)
part 2:
i walk these streets until im in your arms again
but i can feel your chest tense up
he put down the soap and picked up the gun
now we're both on the same page
i heard the fire truck outside my bedroom
i was surprised it came at all
why did nobody tell me i was sinking
nobody at all
part 3:
i asked to be cremated so i wouldnt take up space
and so no one would go digging to make some point about my face
when we're all gone they wont remember our names
theyll rewrite all the lyrics and say i was insane
but time waits for no woman, and the forecast feels like 12
it's so much colder outside but its greener anywhere else
but theres a stranger in my house, theres a stranger in my house
and i dont feel safe, anymore
ooh ooh, ooh ooh
ooh ooh, ooh ooh
ooh ooh, ooh ooh
ooh ooh, ooh ooh
