lyrics

I am a firework
stay away and you won't get hurt
I've blown so many holes in these morals
you can't see my character

so just call me stupid
and mean it
call me idiot
because I'll believe it
all these tools in your chest seem okay
but it ain't western medicine

and I can't erase
where is the bailout now for a miserable waste
and I can't explain
why I've been dragging you down
the best I know how

I see you shouting for help again
but your throat just won't open

it seems simple but it hurts
and you know it's harder work
than believing me over and over again

call me stupid
and mean it
call me idiot
because I'll believe it
all these pills in your hand seem okay
if they take me to hell again

and I can't erase
where is the bailout now for a miserable waste
and I can't explain
why I've been dragging you down
the best I know how

it's been thirty-five years
I've got a chin to match my pointy ears
a curve in my spine that leaves me
everyday less-inclined
to pick myself up off the ground
I've so politely dragged you down to

when your grandfather died
I didn't feel anything
except the inconvenience
of losing one night of drinking
and that'd be the perfect metaphor
if it wasn't the truth

so if you're getting bored, call me stupid
between my ears there's a silence
I can't let give me a big head
