Fire Drill, by Melanie Martinez

I've never fit into any category
Always deemed an outcast
Since I was in Sunday school
All the cool kids told me I was weird

It's exactly the same, they say:
"Why do you dress that way?"
"Why do you act that way? "
"Why aren't you just like me?"
So is that really what you wanna say to me?
You playing games with me
Telling me if I'm a cunt, still you abandon me
Calling me words I'm not
Painting a picture that's false

You must not know my heart
But I know that's not your fault
You live in a world in your clutch
You don't get out very much
Living in a fake world
Full of facades and chaotic behaviour
You pull the lever for fun
Yell, "Fire!" Then you just run

Fire Drill
What would happen if a nuke just hit?
Would you say bye to your family?
Would you post about it?

Fire Drill
What if it all went up in flames one day?
Would you give your mom a hug before your house burned away?

It kills, I wish the best for you
And you think I ignore you too, but
Really, I'm tryna' live my own life
And he present more, and so should you
It's alright to

Crying inside
'cause nothing I ever say comes out right
We're on the same side
If I'm honest with you, you'd just run and hide

I'm bad at public speaking
But I'm speaking now so hear me out (shut up)
I personally believe everyone is fully capable
Of more than what they're doing
All the bullying
All of the screwing around with people they don't even really know know, oh (blah, blah, blah)
Eating a hate soufflé, and an angry bitter sorbet
All because you were bored one day
Losing all your wits and grace

Fire Drill
What would happen if a nuke just hit?
Would you say bye to your family?
Would you post about it?

Fire Drill
What if it all went up in flames one day?
Would you give your mom a hug before your house burned away?

It kills, I wish the best for you
And you think I ignore you too, but
Really, I'm tryna' live my own life
And he present more, and so should you
It's alright to

I am not the government
I am not the fucked up men
I am not part of anything that is hateful
Love is seeping out my pores
I don't hold anger anymore
Even for people who hurt and betray me (okay)

I am not the government
I am not the fucked up men (gross)
I am not a part of anything that is hateful
Love is seeping out my pores
I don't hold hate anymore
Even for people who hurt and betray me

Fire Drill
What would happen if a nuke just hit?
Would you say bye to your family?
Would you post about it?

Fire Drill
What if it all went up in flames one day?
Would you give your mom a hug before your house burned away?

It kills, I wish the best for you
And you think I ignore you too, but
Really, I'm tryna' live my own life
And he present more, and so should you
It's alright to
(I'm getting out of here)
