Penelope Scott - Sweet Hibiscus Tea lyrics
[Penelope Scott - Sweet Hibiscus Tea lyrics]
Try as I absolutely totally might
The bones are melting, the skeleton is ash
The clavicle detaches and falls
With a deafening crash
And I'm not your protagonist
I'm not even my own i don't know anything
I don't even know what I don't know
And if you look outside
You'll see disintegrating trees
The artificial way the sunlight bounces
Off the waxy leaves
My heart catches on every thorn
You're already halfway out the door
And I’ve never looked so old
And I have never been so cold
And it is 85 degrees
I don't know what I need
There’s lukewarm herbal mango
Sweet hibiscus tea
On the hot garbage pile in
Which I fucking sleep
The walls are empty, it's so ugly
I could burn the whole place down
It wouldn’t catch ‘cause all the posters are
On their way to my hometown
And I am not your protagonist
I'm not even my own i don't know anything
I don't even know what I don't know
And if you look outside
You'll see disintegrating trees
The artificial way the sunlight bounces
Off the glitching leaves
My wet heart catches on every thorn
You're already halfway out the door
And I'm so tiny and so old, and, God
It's never been so cold
And it is 85 degrees
I don't know what I need
