BE CAREFUL!
Crazy, mad, different one in that cave,
Don't go in,
He's so mean,
He's super lame,
All this chitter and chatter ain't for me,
It's my warning sign I'm talking about.

They'd say I'm weird,
They'd say I'm harmless,
They'd call me a geek,
They'd say I've got no social life,
They'd say, and that becomes my warning sign.

Maybe I'm boring,
Maybe I am.
Maybe I say sorry,
Maybe I do.
Maybe you could call me out for something irrelevant to me,
Maybe you would.

All my flaws,
All my gold,
Everything's trying to be taken away from me,
They say it's just for fun,
But, I don't like playing games with playful teens, it's just not the kind of game they'd know how to play, so, they'd bend the rules and break some bones just to scare.

So, you're a tough guy,
Like a really rough guy,
Just can't-get-enough guy,
Chest always so puffed guy,
Well, I'm the bad guy, hmm...
~Billie Eilish, Bad Guy

They'll tell you I'm dangerous,
They'll tell you I'm plotting my revenge,
They'll tell you I'm the worst,
I can only make matters worse.
They'll tell you I'm insane,
Speaking out about things that matter,
They'll tell me I'm so fake,
But, we'll, if I'm fake then you're nothing.
They'll whisper my name in pain,
They'll say I poured them the rain.
Well, all I've realised now, is that they've got so much things to say.

They'll say I'm mentally incapable of taking control of matters that unfold, and they'll say.

They'll point to every flaw,
No word of victory is ever muttered.

They'll tell the world the false,
And I'll never get to tell my truth.

They'll give me headaches till I cry,
They'll poison my mind.

I don't know what to say.
Am I no good as a hurricane?
Have I gotten your knickers in a twist?
Made your deafness be a gift?
Given you the power to show me all my flaws,
No, I don't know if I'll get better, if I ever will.

This is my warning sign,
The 'KEEP OUT' line,
So, better listen to what I've said,
I won't say it again,
If it's all in vain,
Just for my pain,
So understand what I'm saying,
While the world's gone crazing,
Please come home.
Let me be,
In my fantasy,
Let me be...
