lyrics

Today is my birthday.
And I’m one year older - one year closer to death.
Feeling colder, tell myself it’s just the weather.
When I wake up I don’t feel that much different, in fact I feel a little worse.
Guess 23 isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Said when I met you it was such a weird time in my life.
Though when I think about it, when was it really that normal?

So you said happy birthday to me,
And overnight I’m 365 days older,
and I’m stuck staring at the ceiling when my cellphone rings, it’s you again.
But I’m too preoccupied with my past, I glimpse back and an unfamiliar voice rings.

I said when I met you it was such a shit time in my life.
Though when I think about it, when was it really that bad at all?

When I was 6, I asked the older kids where earwax comes from.
They laughed me at me, said there’s a colony of bees-
They’re swarming, they’re swarming inside my head.
I am older now, I know better now,
I’ve learned that, I know that -
My brain is melting, my mind is melting,
My brain is melting, my mind is melting.
