Lyrics
How do you balance the irons in the fire When you keep gettin’ burned and you live with a liar? Only a minor but the problem’s Ursa Major You mend what’s broke but you can’t fix bad behavior Terrified that you’re bein' inefficient While you’re spinning your plates and washing’ the dishes Friends all say that you need to take a break before you’re broken But you’re terrified because in your eyes you know you need to go and-— File your taxes Breaking your back and Wishing for freedom Life's inelastic, Prison of Plastic? You’ve gotta make it so You can just say no~oo If you set yourself on fire The world will leave you tired So why don’t you just let it burn? Say “Aw, heck it!” Go on ‘n wreck it! Let them find another warmer The world is in your corner It’s up to you to make it turn Just say “No!” What’s life like when you grant your own wishes? Sorbet sky full a’ honey and kisses! Baking? Self reflection? So exhausting! Take those imperfections and coat them in frosting! Craft your life, give it all you can give it And pray for the day that you might be forgiven The actors laugh on your behalf because you can control them But to get a hug from the ones you love, you would need to console them-- All too much trouble Stay in your bubble Leave it to others! It’s a bad habit Make like a rabbit: Bounce and then make it so She can’t say no~oo You can fix it all with magic The sticks and stones, the tragic, You’ll never reap what you have sown! Be a hag and… Slay your dragon! If you bring your little sister Admit how much you missed her Then maybe you won’t be alone... Make it so! Innocent playing Turned to dismaying The dead of midnight Princess of Plastic You were the matchstick But how could you have known? Oh no… No no NO no no no no, NO no no no no NO no no no NO no no! Life’s inelastic? Prison of Plastic Wishing for freedom! (Yeah!) Just say no! You’re in contro~oll! Please remember you’re related Your hearts are filled with hatred That doesn’t have to be the case Cure your trauma! Come to mama! You won’t ever get that normal But if you act sororal Then maybe you could have a taste Epithet Erased!
