Where am I?
What is this place?
Why am I terrified to show my face?
Uncertain future
Forgotten past
Each single word I speak could be my last
And there's so much anger here
It's choking me
How do they breathe?
There's so much anger here
It's choking me
How do they breathe?

Brian caught you staring at me
Staring at me across the classroom
And that’s how Brian knows that you like me
And Natalie got a note from Brian
While Mr. Leigh was rambling about something
That Brian caught you staring at me
Staring at me across the classroom
And that’s how Natalie knows that you like me
And Marlon heard while playing hopscotch
Right between the six and seven
That Natalie got a note from Brian
While Mr. Leigh was rambling about something
That Brian caught you staring at me
Staring at me across the classroom
And that’s how Marlon knows that you like me
And Glenny read a Sharpie scrawl
Scribbled on a bathroom stall
That Marlon heard while playing hopscotch
Right between the six and seven
That Natalie got a note from Brian
While Mr. Leigh was rambling about something
That Brian caught you staring at me
Staring at me across the classroom
And that’s how Glenny knows that you like me
And Zoe heard in general music
While tuning up her ukulele
That Glenny read a Sharpie scrawl
Scribbled on a bathroom stall
That Marlon heard while playing hopscotch
Right between the six and seven
That Natalie got a note from Brian
While Mr. Leigh was rambling about something
That Brian caught you staring at me
Staring at me across the classroom
And that’s how Zoe knows that you like me
And Zoe stopped me in the hallway
With a conspiratorial whisper
That she had heard in general music
While tuning up her ukulele
That Glenny read a Sharpie scrawl
Scribbled on a bathroom stall
That Marlon heard while playing hopscotch
Right between the six and seven
That Natalie got a note from Brian
While Mr. Leigh was rambling about something
That Brian caught you staring at me
Staring at me across the classroom
And that’s how Brian
And that’s how Natalie
And that’s how Marlon
And that’s how Glenny
And that’s how Zoe
And that’s how I know
That you like me

Third Cat wrote a very good song
About a man whose life is going wrong
There’s a list you can peruse
Of many kinds of booze
Variously flavorful and strong
Oh Third Cat wrote a very good song
Yes Third Cat wrote a very good song
But Mandibles’ song was better than Third Cat’s
No mean feat, you’ll agree if you heard that
The singer gathers strength
To travel ever-growing lengths
To reach the door of the one she aims her words at
Oh Mandibles’ song was better than Third Cat’s
And Third Cat wrote a very good song
But Faster Jackalope’s song was better than Mandibles’
Though if you had trouble picking, that’d be understandable
Here kisses come with knives
And cuddles can end lives
Morality is highly expandable
Oh Faster Jackalope’s song was better than Mandibles’
And Mandibles’ song was better than Third Cat’s
And Third Cat wrote a very good song
Oh Third Cat wrote a very good song
But Zoe Gray’s song was better than Faster Jackalope’s
Here’s an artist who has plainly mastered tragic tropes
You sit down to create
But all you feel is self-hate
We’ve all been there, and if you hear some bastard hasn’t, nope
Well Zoe Gray’s song was better than Faster Jackalope’s
And Faster Jackalope’s song was better than Mandibles’
And Mandibles’ song was better than Third Cat’s
And Third Cat wrote a very good song
Yes Zoe Gray’s song was better than Faster Jackalope’s
And Faster Jackalope’s song was better than Mandibles’
And Mandibles’ song was better than Third Cat’s
And Third Cat wrote a very good song
Yes Third Cat wrote a very good song
