Girl with the bee allergy
Gets stung six times yearly
They’re pretty cute and all
Why’re they so obsessed with me
I just wanna wear colours
Walk around with bare feet
Don’t wanna murder a bee
Don’t want a bee to murder me
Anaphylaxis
Anaphyl-fuck this
Don’t wanna be scared of a bee
Don’t wanna be scared of a tiny lil bee
Anaphylaxis
Anaphyl-fuck this
Desensitize (desensitize)
Desensitizing me
Lovely little stripy pals
So honey sweet
They just can’t get enough
Of dying in my feet
Fuzzy little buzzy pals
Make it hard for me to breathe
I’ll still rescue them from drowning
In their hour of need
Anaphylaxis
Anaphyl-fuck this
Don’t wanna be scared of a bee
Don’t wanna be scared of a tiny lil bee
Anaphylaxis
Anaphyl-fuck this
Desensitize (desensitize)
Desensitizing me
Lovely little stripy pals
So honey sweet
They just can’t get enough
Of dying in my feet
Fuzzy little buzzy pals
Make it hard for me to breathe
Don’t wanna murder a bee
Don’t want a bee to murder me
Don’t wanna murder a bee
Don’t want a bee to murder me
Anaphylaxis
Anaphyl-fuck this
Don’t wanna be scared of a bee
Don’t wanna be scared of a tiny lil bee
Anaphylaxis
Anaphyl-fuck this
Desensitize (desensitize)
Desensitize (desensitize)
Desensitizing me
<cool riff>
I wanna live, a life not wasted
I wanna know my fear and face it
I wanna have my cake and taste it
But I see my tail and I want to chase it
It starts and it never ends
I’ve got the world in the palm of my hands
So many legends that I call my friends
But a voice inside says it’s all pretend
Fuck that
It’s time to celebrate
We’re never younger than we are today
Take it, take it all like a punch in the face
Take it, take it all like a punch in the face
Fuck that
It’s time to celebrate
We’re never younger than we are today
Take it, take it all like a punch in the face
Take it, take it all like a punch in the face
UGH
Late bloomer
Never really grew much
Little rat crawled outta the sewer
Drink too much
Always fuckin spew up
Such a fuckin screw up
Arghhh
Fuck that it’s time to celebrate
We’re never younger than we are today
Take it, take it all like a punch in the face
Take it, take it all like a punch in the face
Fuck that it’s time to celebrate
We’re never younger than we are today
Take it, take it all like a punch in the face
Take it, take it all like a punch in the face
And all that time spent
Living with self resentment
No fuckin more ’cause
I wanna live, a life not wasted
I wanna know my fear and face it
I wanna have my cake and taste it
But I see my tail and I want to chase it
Fuck that
It’s time to celebrate
We’re never younger than we are today
Take it, take it all like a punch in the face
Take it, take it all like a punch in the face
Fuck that
It’s time to celebrate
We’re never younger than we are today
Take it, take it all like a punch in the face
Take it, take it all like a punch in the face
Fuck that
It’s time to celebrate
We’re never younger than we are today
Take it, take it all like a punch in the face
Take it, take it all like a punch in the face
Fuck that
It’s time to celebrate
We’re never younger than we are today
Take it, take it all like a punch in the face
Take it, take it all like a punch in the face
FUCK THAT
Tired as fuck
Laying in bed
Trying to sleep
But my brains still running 3000 revs
Overthinking everything
Full on anxiety
Its a fuckin cringe binge
I just wanna be zen
Wanna catch some zeds
But I’m wide awake
It’s driving me insane
I can’t shut it off can’t shut it off
Thinking bout every dumb thing I’ve ever said
Can’t shut it off can’t shut it off
All my worst memories on screen in my head
Search for ladders
Finding snakes
Relive all my past mistakes
Once the cycle starts it doesn’t stop
(it doesn’t stop)
I just wanna be zen
Wanna catch some zeds
But I can’t stop thinking about when I was in year 9 and for months I thought it was so fucking cool to wear a black tie with my stupid yellow polo shirt and I got a photo it was in the newspaper I’m so fucking embarrassing I’m an idiot ARGH!
I can’t shut it off can’t shut it off
Thinking bout every dumb thing I’ve ever said
Can’t shut it off can’t shut it off
All my worst memories on screen in my head
Search for ladders
Finding snakes
Relive all my past mistakes
Once the cycle starts it doesn’t stop
Why am I like this
Search for ladders
Finding snakes
Relive all my past mistakes
Once the spiral starts it doesn’t stop
WHY AM I LIKE THIS
I just wanna be zen
I wanna catch some zeds
But I’m wide awake
It’s driving me insane
I can’t shut it off can’t shut it off
Thinking bout every dumb thing I’ve ever said
Can’t shut it off can’t shut it off
All my worst memories on screen in my head
Search for ladders
Finding snakes
Relive all my past mistakes
Once the cycle starts it doesn’t stop
Why am I like this
Search for ladders
Finding snakes
Relive all my past mistakes
Once the spiral starts it doesn’t stop
WHY AM I LIKE THIS
Go to bed daylight on a Sunday
Brain dead all day every monday
This is no way to live my life
It doesn’t seem right
It just doesn’t seem right
Another headache, another regret
Another weekend for me to forget
Not to be dramatic but if my Uber Eats guy
Doesn’t hurry the fuck up I think that I might die
I’m getting tired of getting blind
Of writing myself off at night
I wanna wake up feeling fine
But I never know where to draw the line
There’s just no in-between with me
Armageddon cos I don’t wanna miss a thing
Sometimes I think it might be time
But I never know where to draw the line
Always fomo, noone really knows though
What ya gonna miss, on the piss, on the blow bro
Don’t give me the tip, cos I already know
Noone is gonna miss those days of feeling low
Low on the agenda, three day bender
Don’t give a thought to how you’re gonna spend ya
Days coming down, just wasted on the couch
Just get it in ya mouth, just have another round cus
I’m getting tired of getting blind
Of writing myself off at night
I wanna wake up feeling fine
But I never know where to draw the line
There’s just no in-between with me
Armageddon cos I don’t wanna miss a thing
Sometimes I think it might be time
But I never know where to draw the line
I’m getting tired of getting blind
Of writing myself off at night
I wanna wake up feeling fine
But I never know where to draw the line
There’s just no in-between with me
Armageddon cos I don’t wanna miss a thing
Sometimes I think it might be time
But I never know where to draw the line
I’m getting tired of getting blind
Of writing myself off at night
I wanna wake up feeling fine
But I never know where to draw the line
There’s just no in-between with me
Armageddon cos I don’t wanna miss a thing
Sometimes I think it might be time
But I never know where to draw the line
Eaten by ants
Crawling on my skin
I’ll never trust my towel rail again
Hundreds of ants
Bitey little fucks
Hiding in my towel to fuck me up
Eaten by ants
Crawling on my skin
I’ll never trust my towel rail again
Hundreds of ants
Bitey little fucks
Hiding in my towel to fuck me up
Molly fixed the leaky tap outside
The drip drip drip drip drip drip drip it died
Musta bugged the bugs
Cos when they came inside
It wasn’t for hugs
It was an invasion
Of my privacy
Bites all over my private things
Jerks didn’t cut me any slack
It was a full frontal attack
Hiding and biting me
Hiding and biting me
Eaten by ants
Crawling on my skin
I’ll never trust my towel rail again
Hundreds of ants
Bitey little fucks
Hiding in my towel to fuck me up
Eaten by ants
Crawling on my skin
I’ll never trust my towel rail again
Hundreds of ants
Bitey little fucks
Hiding in my towel to fuck me up
Imagine this
Step out the shower
Lil guys been gathering for hours
Expectations of soft and dry
Instead I got nearly fuckin eaten alive
They fucked me up
Enough’s enough
It’s not their fault
We had a scuff
Hiding and biting me
Hiding and biting me
Formicidae
Enemy
Why you wanna
Mess with me
Shoulda stayed in your colony
Here’s a strongly worded letter for your queen
Dear Royal Ant Majesty
I’m not a fan of your ambush on me
You bet all future crumbs are gonna be swept clean
And I’m calling in the bug man
I’m calling in the bug man
Formicidae
Enemy
Why you wanna
Mess with me
Shoulda stayed in your colony
Now I’m calling in the bug man
I’m calling in the bug man
My pen’s run out of ink
Guess I’ll write my autobiography
In ghost letters
And my eyes won’t stop bleeding
When I’m asleep
I see it in my dreams
I can’t help it
There’s gotta be an explanation
Iron deficiency
I can’t face the actual reality
That maybe its too late for me
And I’m broken
Woah woah oh
The hardest part is the memory of feeling
Woah woah oh
The hardest part is the memory of feeling
Woah woah oh
The hardest part is the memory of feeling
Half empty packet of pills
A level of commitment I can’t fill
Got a way anyone wanna trade me for a will
Blinding light in the tunnel
Feels like I’m lost and under
Woah woah oh
The hardest part is the memory of feeling
Woah woah oh
The hardest part is the memory of feeling
Woah woah oh
The hardest part is the memory of feeling
I’m rightfully ashamed
This angst can not be tamed
Hopelessness I don’t wanna face
Black waves crashing over my head
Get dragged down over again
But I always
Always resurface at the end
Woah woah oh
The hardest part is the memory of feeling
Woah woah oh
The hardest part is the memory of feeling
Woah woah oh
The hardest part is the memory of feeling
Standards set so high
Always fall short from the start
You made me feel I wasn’t good enough
Better try extra hard
You acted like you cared
Filled my head with dreams
Part of your master plan
Another cog in your machine
But I can’t leave cos quitters don’t win
and I can’t leave cos quitters don’t fuckin win no
I can’t leave cos quitters don’t win
I can’t leave cos quitters don’t fuckin win
Woah woah woah
Every day worse than the last
What am I doing with my life
I see your stupid face again
And want to punch it in, every time
But what else is there?
The fear of the unknown
Nowhere to go, nothing to lose, noone I know
But I can’t leave cos quitters don’t win
I can’t leave cos quitters don’t fuckin win no
I can’t leave cos quitters don’t win
I can’t leave cos quitters don’t fuckin win
But I gotta leave cos I’ll never win here
Gotta leave cos I’ll never win here
I’ve gotta believe there’s something better out there
If I’ll ever find happiness, it won’t be here in this mess
I’ve gotta believe there’s something better out there
I gotta leave cos I’ll never win here
Gotta leave cos I’ll never win here
I’ve gotta believe there’s something better out there
If I’ll ever find happiness, it won’t be here in this mess
I’ve gotta believe there’s something better out there
I gotta leave cos I’ll never win here
Gotta leave cos I’ll never win here
I’ve gotta believe there’s something better out there
I feel like a dingus, dimwit
Head in the cumulonimbus
2000, firebolt accio
I called shotgun, jump in the backio
I said it first don’t make me slappa your face
Yeah I said it I will do it
Life’s hard just gotta push through it
Recharge batteries
Yeah I do it in my sleep
No whys all z’s
I can fly in my dreams
I’m feeling so damn tired
I think about it everyday
I’d rather close my eyes
And let the world just fade away
I know that life is only lived
When you are wide awake
But sometimes sleep’s my favourite state
It just happens that way
Feel like a chungus, fungus
Growing in this head of mine
Well at least I guess that that makes me a fungi
There’s been some dark days
But now the sun’s come out to shine
I think I’m falling back in love with being alive
Ahhh
They always said that I could do it
Life’s hard just gotta push through it
Recharge battery
When the hills a little steep
Press save, have a sleep
I can do it in my dreams
I’m feeling so damn tired
I think about it everyday
I’d rather close my eyes
And let the world just fade away
I know that life is only lived
When you are wide awake
But sometimes sleep’s my favourite state
It just happens
I feel like I’m winning, head spinning
This is only the beginning
My heart’s spilling
Over-filled with the love that I’ve been feeling
It’s been a bumpy ride but
Now I’m the one steering
And I’ve finally come to terms with
The face that I was given
Got a head like a kicked-in bickie tin
Took a while to love the skin that I’m living in
But in the game of life
No matter where I’ve been
You wanna know, did I win?
Yeah I shit it in
I’m feeling so damn tired
I think about it everyday
I’d rather close my eyes
And let the world just fade away
I know that life is only lived
When you are wide awake
But sometimes sleep’s my favourite state
It just happens that way
Scooters
Chicken Treat
Jesus
Woo
On a beam, gonna make a scene
Get some Chicken Treat
Cos I’m a fuckin fiend
Roll in from the Sunday session
Pineapple fritter is my kinda heaven
We ride scooters, we like Chicken Treat
Don’t wanna hear about Jesus
We ride scooters, we like Chicken Treat
Don’t give a fuck about Jesus
Don’t come at me with ya preachy behavior
Quarter chicken and chips is my lord and savior
Not impressed with wine from water
I’m just waiting on my fuckin order
We ride scooters, we like Chicken Treat
Don’t wanna hear about Jesus
We ride scooters, we like Chicken Treat
Don’t give a fuck about Jesus
We ride scooters, we like Chicken Treat
Don’t wanna hear about Jesus
We ride scooters, we like Chicken Treat
Don’t give a fuck
Don’t come at me with ya preachy behavior
Quarter chicken and chips is my lord and savior
I’m not impressed with wine from water
I’m just waiting on my fuckin order
Don’t come at me with ya preachy behavior
Quarter chicken and chips is my lord and savior
I’m not impressed with wine from water
I’m just waiting on my fuckin order
[Chicken Treat order]
I’m just waiting on my fuckin order
I’m just waiting on my fuckin order
Nobody’s perfect but you know you come close
I think you’re awesome, you’re the one I love the most
But there’s this one thing and it’s really fuckin gross
That fuckin southerly, it really fuckin blows
You got the goods you know
Almost a paradise
But let me fill ya in a little bit advice
I’d rather put up with the pesky fuckin flies
Than have a tonne of beach sand blown into my fuckin eyes
Oh you’re hot, yeah you’re hot
Yeah you know it
But they won’t see
What I see, til you show it
If it’s a breeze, fine with me, fuckin own it
But if the trees are bending over then ya blown it
Oh you’re hot, yeah you’re hot
Yeah you know it
But they won’t see
What I see, til you show it
If it’s a breeze, fine with me, fuckin own it
But if the trees are bending over then ya blown it
Fuck off ya wind
You got the sunny days and the clear blue sky
White beaches, everything is nearby
But just as summer’s getting good
I guess you decide
To blow us all away, fuckin give it a try
This wind it really sucks
We have all had enough
Getting whipped in the face by your hair is rough
Howling southerly can suck a butt
Oh you’re hot, yeah you’re hot
Yeah you know it
But they won’t see
What I see, til you show it
If it’s a breeze, fine with me, fuckin own it
But if the trees are bending over then ya blown it
Oh you’re hot, yeah you’re hot
Yeah you know it
But they won’t see
What I see, til you show it
If it’s a breeze, fine with me, fuckin own it
But if the trees are bending over then ya blown it
Fuck off ya wind
Fuck off ya wind
Fuck off ya wind
Don’t get me wrong
It’s nothing personal
I just wanted to say
Ya gone a bit overboard mate
Don’t get me wrong
It’s nothing personal
I just wanted to say
Ya gone a bit fuckin overboard here mate
Oh you’re hot, yeah you’re hot
Yeah you know it
But they won’t see
What I see, til you show it
If it’s a breeze, fine with me, fuckin own it
But if the trees are bending over then ya blown it
Oh you’re hot, yeah you’re hot
Yeah you know it
But they won’t see
What I see, til you show it
If it’s a breeze, fine with me, fuckin own it
But if the trees are bending over then ya gone and fuckin blown it
Head is aching, feeling nauseated

Tell me you love me, that I’m not a fuck up
It doesn’t take much, just a small touch
Tell me you love me, that I’m not a fuck up
It doesn’t take much, just a small touch

Where do you fall
(where do you fall)
You fall in the winter
You make my dreams
(you make my dreams)
You make my dreams come true
You make my heart
(you make my heart)
You make my heart shine and sparkle
With pixie dust
(with pixie dust)
With pixie dust

You make me feel like a butterfly up in the sky
You make me feel like I’m little again
You make me feel like a butterfly up in the sky
You make me feel like I’m little again
Where do you fall

You make me feel like a butterfly up in the sky
You make me feel like a butterfly up in the sky
You make me feel like a butterfly up in the sky
You make me feel like a butterfly up in the sky
Burnt so many times I got a skin check
Ask me about my problems I’ll go in-depth
Personality is always on the wrong track
Purse is emptier than a teenager’s nutsack
My default setting’s to assume people don’t like me
Friends say it’s in my head and who knows it just might be
At this point in life success isn’t that likely
I’m holding onto hope that things work out to spite me
Yeah
To spite me
To spite me
To spite me
People say everything’s fine its gonna be okay
At the end of the day I’ll still probably have another breakdown
Feels like another breakdown
I know everything is fine it’s gonna be okay
That won’t stop my brain from freaking out
I’ll have another breakdown
Feels like another breakdown
Breakdown breakdown breakdown
Breakdown!
Got so many bugs I need a reset
Sorta cute but feeling old just like a Neopet
Call me jellyfish I lack a lot of backbone
Call me bitch because I put you in the friendzone?!
My default setting’s to assume people will use me
I’m a magikarp man who the fuck would choose me
At this point in time outlook is feeling quite bleak
I’m holding onto hope that things work out to spite me
People say everything’s fine its gonna be okay
(Are you?)
At the end of the day I’ll still probably have another breakdown
(Crying?)
Feels like another breakdown
(Again? Again?)
I know everything is fine it’s gonna be okay
(Are you?)
That won’t stop my brain from freaking out
(Crying?)
I’ll have another breakdown
(Again?)
Feels like another breakdown
(Again?)
Breakdown breakdown breakdown
Breakdown!
Ow!
People say everything’s fine its gonna be okay
(Are you?)
At the end of the day I’ll still probably have another breakdown
(Crying?)
Feels like another breakdown
(Again? Again?)
I know everything is fine it’s gonna be okay
(Are you?)
That won’t stop my brain from freaking out
(Crying?)
I’ll have another breakdown
(Again?)
Feels like another breakdown
(Again?)
Breakdown break fuckin breakdown!
Glory Ibis!
I’m sorry to hear about your sickness
I got your email
And I’d like to help you somehow
I must confess, I did the maths
And I want more than five percent
I think it’s fair
And I know that you’ve got plenty to share
Glory Ibis!
Dunno how you found me
But so glad you did
(So glad you did)
Glory Ibis
I just wanna do my bit
And take money from you for your super legit death wish
Glory Ibis!
Glory Ibis!
Glory Ibis!
Glory Ibis!
