Lyrics

She flies to Paris, France, I come down into her childhood bed
And write the words I'll one day wish that I had never said
Now all that I became, must die before the forum thread
The cursed vultures feed, spread the seeded daily bread
And I guess I found out
What it's like
Oh, I am very young
But I am working
Working on the glow up
I am the richest girl in every room
Mainline
To the UE BOOM
They ask me
"Why don't you sing with an English accent?"
Well, I guess it's too late to change it now
In the rural American town fairground
I go around and I go around
It's a great wide gulf between intentions and what ground met me
I check my phone and make the sound
Like theme from Failure
Performed for just you
Like the new road built
Out of Black Country ground
I have learned so little
From all I lost in two thousand and eighteen
I think she's still waiting there for us, somewhere
Underneath what we built to keep the waters clean
It's a one size fits all hardcore cyber fetish, early noughties zine
She sells Matcha shots to pay for printing costs and a PR team
She's recently enlightened and for some reason that phases me
Won't give up, too soft to touch, and how hard could it really be?
