lyrics

I’m sending this to you to tell you that I got engaged today
I thought that you should know I’m out of action and will stay that way
I hope you’re getting all that you need
Even though you’re furthermore quite guaranteed that I’ll be

Slightly bitter everlastingly
Something still fucked up inside of me
Stuff since then transpired quite normally
Still I bear a grudge informally
You! Ach!

I’m sending this to you to tell you that I don’t give up easily
It’s such an effort, though, to even think of you believably
Much less to keep reaching out to you with no reciprocation to speak of
I’ve given all my best, and now I need a life’s vacation

Being slightly bitter everlastingly
Something still fucked up inside of me
Stuff since then transpired expectedly
Crushing plans made unprotectedly
You! Ach!

You should have called me when it counted
Or believed that we amounted
To more than the remnants of your other life back in civilization

I’m sending this to you to haunt you along with all the rest of me
Just keep believing what you want to, and live your fucked up destiny

Being slightly bitter everlastingly
At me for doing what you asked of me
But you’re the dopey one who passed on me
And now you’re part of last catastrophe
You!
