Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This is not a scene, it's a pyramid scheme
This is not a joke, there's a hole in the boat
And you can paint your portal on the wall with the intention to break through
But every time you bang your head against it, tiny little pieces fall out of you
[Verse 2]
Everybody wants to play Billy the Kid
Nobody wants to be Calamity Jane
I wish I could break into your heart, I wish I could sleep in your brain
[Verse 3]
Darby Crash and the iconoclasts and Frida Kahlo in a black ski mask
We all rode into your virtual town with the intention just of burning it down
[Bridge]
And I don't know who you want me to be
And I don't know and that terrifies me
Don't know what you want
Don't know what I want
Don't know what you want from me, hoo, hoo, hoo
[Chorus]
Hey, do you want it to last forever?
I don't want it to last forever
We'll keep your breakdown encased in leather
I don't want it to last forever, forever, forever, forever...
[Outro]
This is not a scene, it's a pyramid scheme
This is not a scene, it's a pyramid scheme
Forever, forever, forever, forever...
