about

(so mad)

lyrics

it’s new years in Buckman
but the same old destruction
is whirling all over the room
you’re nervous to face them
so all that they’ll see
is the storm that’s engulfing the midnight moon

there’s a lightning arc
between you and the ground
you’ve got too much spark
better throw some around

cause all the fires you start
they’re your works of art
and it tears your brain apart
to know
you’ll be picking up after yourself
till the day that you die

it’s next afternoon
and your new opportunity’s
closing the back door behind
why even bother
to swear not another
just lie to yourself that your man doesn’t mind

and he’s sent you words
says I missed you last night
and you loved him at first
so why not pretend it’s alright
for as long as you can

all the fires you start
don’t they make you feel so fuckin smart
but it breaks your heart
to know

you’ll be picking up after yourself
till the day that you die
