Mya Byrne on Bass and 12-String Electric

lyrics

don’t you know
to not blow this cover
are you wantin’ just another
sweetie scoop that you can smother
and my body and my body
and my body’s a toy
and my body and my body
and my body’s a toy

did i pick
my sense of direction
was it just protection
from the mirrors reflection
and it got me and it got me
and it got me no joy
and it got me and it got me
and it got me no joy

before you go to hell
do me a favor and tell
everyone who’s ever used my joy
to hurt themselves
that i’m sorry that i’m sorry
and i’m also annoyed
that i’m sorry that i’m sorry
but i’m also annoyed

is there a point in telling you
avoident in the words you choose
are you a void trying to avoid
why i’m annoyed and deeply confused

if you’re hell bent on growing up
there’s something you forgot
didn’t survive just to learn to be mean
growing is real, growing up is not

you tell me that you get me
and yet all you do to show me
is to reminisce on memories
the old me doesn’t own me
and i’m not me and i’m not me
and i’m not me with you
and i’m not me and i’m not me
and i’m not me with you

don’t you know
to not blow this cover
are you wantin’ just another
night to forget your lover
and my body and my body
and my body’s a toy
and my body and my body
and my body’s a toy

if you’re hell bent on growing up
there’s something you forgot
didn’t survive just to learn to be mean
growing is real, growing up is no

don’t you know
to not blow this cover
are you wantin’ just another
sweetie scoop that you can smother
and my body and my body
and my body’s a toy
and my body and my body
and my body’s a toy
