lyrics

B R O W N R I C E

I've been running twice a day
I eat only brown rice (just not after 8pm)
My goals are clearer, you'd approve
And in the bathroom mirror, I've come to look like you
I no longer forget my garters at sleepovers
And if I were to, I wouldn't come back for them
Now if I truly fancy someone, I won't go blabbing
I'm gonna keep 'em wanting and never having

Looking back, you were wiser
I wouldn't love the old me either

Chorus:

All this time spent bettering myself / has been so much better than had I been
going on the dumb assumption that I was good enough
I don't ask for pity from anyone, least of all myself
'Cause how could anyone get anything done by needing someone to love them

So thanks for nothing, literally

How was the last flame? Did you have a ball
and are you as chagrinned as I am that I think of you at all
Back to the first verse re: hallucination: the field blurs and whirrs but the train's not left the station

Looking back, I was wiser
to bum a light and flee the fire
