Fire Drill

Album: Melanie Martinez Durasi: 4:15
[00:16.04]I've never fit into any category, always deemed an outcast
[00:24.54]Since I was in Sunday school and all the cool kids said I was weird
[00:32.54]It's exactly the same, they say, "Why do you dress that way?
[00:35.92]Why do you act that way? Why don't you dress like me?"
[00:40.27]So is that what you really wanna say to me?
[00:42.58]You're playing games with me
[00:43.60]Telling me if I'm unkind, still you abandon me
[00:46.24]Calling me words I'm not, painting a picture that's false
[00:49.10]You must not know my heart, but I know it isn't your fault
[00:53.27]You live in a world in your clutch, you don't get out very much
[00:57.46]Living in the fake world, full of facades and chaotic behaviour
[01:02.57]You pull the lever for fun, yell, "Fire!", then you just run
[01:07.08]Fire drill, what would happen if a nuke just hit?
[01:11.03]Would you say "bye" to your family? Would you post about it?
[01:15.51]Fire drill, if it all went up in flames one day
[01:19.63]Would you give your mom a hug before your house burned away?
[01:23.50]It kills, I wish the best for you
[01:27.52]And you think I ignore you too, but
[01:33.43]Really, I'm tryna live my own life
[01:37.14]And be present more, and so should you, it's alright to
[01:40.54]Crying inside
[01:44.41]'Cause nothing I say ever comes out right
[01:48.66]We're on the same side
[01:52.38]If I'm honest with you, you just run and hide
[01:56.56]I'm bad at public speaking
[01:59.99]But I'm speaking now so hear me out (shut up)
[02:04.97]I personally believe that everyone is fully capable
[02:13.05]Of more than what they're doing, all of the bullying
[02:15.98]All of the screwin' around with people
[02:18.04]They don't even really know, oh (blah, blah, blah)
[02:21.63]Eatin' a hate soufflé, and an angry bitter sorbet
[02:25.02]All 'cause you were bored one day
[02:27.18]Losing your wits and your grace
[02:29.27]Fire drill, what would happen if a nuke just hit?
[02:33.04]Would you say "bye" to your family? Would you post about it?
[02:37.36]Fire drill, if it all went up in flames one day
[02:41.66]Would you give your mom a hug before your house burned away?
[02:45.74]It kills, I wish the best for you
[02:49.60]And you think I ignore you too, but
[02:55.36]Really, I'm tryna live my own life
[02:59.01]And be present more, and so should you, it's alright to
[03:02.77]I am not the government
[03:04.53]I am not the fucked up men
[03:06.68]I am not a part of anything that is hateful
[03:10.71]Love is seeping out my pores, I don't hold anger anymore
[03:14.84]Even for people who hurt and betray me (okay)
[03:19.12]I am not the government
[03:20.81]I am not the fucked up men (gross)
[03:23.16]I am not a part of anything that is hateful
[03:27.26]Love is seeping out my pores, I don't hold anger anymore
[03:31.25]Even for people who hurt and betray me
[03:34.71]Fire drill, what would happen if a nuke just hit?
[03:38.77]Would you say "bye" to your family? Would you post about it?
[03:42.92]Fire drill, if it all went up in flames one day
[03:47.49]Would you give your mom a hug before your house burned away?
[03:51.23]It kills, I wish the best for you
[03:55.32]And you think I ignore you too, but
[04:01.07]Really I'm tryna live my own life
[04:04.69]And be present more, and so should you, it's alright to
[04:11.00]I'm getting out of here
