Fire Drill - Melanie Martinez

I've never fit into any category

Always deemed an outcast

Since I was in Sunday School

And all the cool kids said I was weird

It's exactly the same, they say

"Why do you dress that way?

Why do you act that way?

Why aren't you just like me?"

So is that what you really wanna say to me?

You're playin' games with me

Telling me if I'm unkind

Still you abandon me

Calling me words I'm not

Painting a picture that's false

You must not know my heart

But I know it isn't your fault

You live in a world and you clutch

You don't get out very much

Livin' in a fake world full of facades and chaotic behaviour

You pull the lever for fun

Yell "Fire!"

then you just run

Fire drill

What would happen if a nuke just hit?

Would you say bye to your family?

Would you post about it?

Fire drill

If it all went up in flames one day

Would you give your mom a hug before your house burned away?

It kills

I wish the best for you and

You think I ignore you too, but

Really I'm tryna live my own life

And be present more, and so should you

It's alright to

Cryin' inside

'Cause nothin' I say ever comes out right

We're on the same side

If I'm honest with you, you just run and hide

I'm bad at public speaking

But I'm speaking now, so hear me out (Shut up)

I personally believe that everyone is fully capable

Of more than what they're doing

All of the bullying

All of the screwing around with people they don't even really know, oh (Blah blah blah)

Eatin' a hate soufflé and an angry, bitter sorbet

All 'cause you were bored one day

Losing your wits and your grace

Really I'm tryna live my own life

And be present more, and so should you

It's alright to

I am not the government

I am not the fucked up men

I am not a part of anything that is hateful

Love is seeping out my pores

I don't hold anger anymore

Even for people who hurt and betray me (Okay)

I am not the government

I am not the fucked up men

I am not a part of anything that is hateful

Love is seeping out my pores

I don't hold anger anymore

Even for people who hurt and betray me
