Trigger warning, I guess. Also mentions the word "blood."
Decided to post this song since one of the musicians I've been listening to a lot lately has been her and one of the songs I like a lot by her right now was this, and I didn't feel like doing the other songs I liked a lot by her, plus I also, for some reason, kinda really like some of the lyrics in this.. ^_^

----------------------
I wanna be a bottle blonde
I don't know why but I feel conned
I wanna be an idle teen
I wish I hadn't been so clean
I wanna stay inside all day
I want the world to go away
I want blood, guts and chocolate cake
I wanna be a real fake
Yeah I wish I'd been a,
Wish I'd been a teen, teen idle
Wish I'd been a prom queen
Fighting for the title
Instead of being sixteen
& burning up a bible
Feeling super, super (super!) suicidal
The wasted years, the wasted youth
The pretty lies, the ugly truth
And the day has come
Where I have died
Only to find I've come alive
I wanna be a virgin pure
A 21st century whore
I want back my virginity
So I can feel infinity
I wanna drink until I ache
I wanna make a big mistake
I want blood, guts & angel cake
I'm gonna puke it anyway
I wish I wasn't such a narcissist
I wish I didn't really kiss the mirror
When I'm on my own
Oh god, I'm gonna die alone
Adolescence didn't make sense
A little loss of innocence
The ugly years of being a fool
Ain't youth meant to be beautiful?
Yeah, I wish I'd been a teen, teen idle
Wish I'd been a prom queen
Fighting for the title
Instead of being sixteen
& burning up a bible
Feeling super, super (super!) suicidal
The wasted years, the wasted youth
The pretty lies, the ugly truth
The day has come
Where I have died
Only to find I've come alive (3x)
Come alive
Feeling super, super, super! (x2)
(Credit to the lyrics being posted on the description of the YouTube video I guess, even though I had to correct it a few times, lol.)
