lyrics

Allergy season
All summer sick
These days spent drunk
On a poor girl's pollen
Apologies if I sound thick
But I just wanna know
Where this entitlement comes from
Call a timeout on a working weekend
Circle of chairs on someone else's lawn
You've never paused long enough
To know anyone's pain
So don't try to tell me
Which side I'm on

There is no conversation overdue
I've been long over you
Ain't sure exactly what I'm supposed to fear
Your warnings are never clear

There are no winners here

Secrets are too volatile for keeping
I'd show you all up but I'm sort on time
I never stood in line to meet your approval
So don't waste my time asking mine

Cut from your social shield left to assume
It's all in what I consume
White powder dusts your heart's a hand grenade
Die well in the bed you've made

This whole scene's been played
