lyrics

there are things you're gonna wanna do
that might seem hard to you
there are things you're gonna need to do
that are much harder

and there's no way to make it easier
there's no way to make it light
there's only you and the darkness all around
and there's nothing left to do but fight, fight, fight

get a boyfriend
get a job
or stay locked up in your room and sob
do whatever you have to do
and don't let him tell you that isn't true

there's a note on the front door
there's a warning in the sky
there's a flare gun with opposable thumbs
shooting itself at your eyes

you might wanna shred the note
you might wanna close the blinds
but you must stay, you must study what you wrote
until every last word rhymes, rhymes, rhymes

start a family
start your career
or move anywhere else but here
do whatever you have to do
and don't let him tell you that isn't true

and if you get the strength
to take a step outside
cling to that feeling, never let it go
carry it with pride

there are things that will scare you
no matter the place
there are things that will haunt you
that cannot be erased

so maybe you're broken
but that doesn't make you weak
get up out of bed, take a walk around
and listen to this house creak, creak, creak

go out drinking
get your car towed
sit back and watch that shithole explode
do whatever you have to do
and don't let him tell you that isn't true

do whatever you need to do
and don't let me tell you that isn't true
