I look around as I struggle to remember My stolen years peppered with varnished pleasure I couldn't see clearly, my pain manufactured for me Caught in an age of 1984 My own thoughts, they evade me Not mine anymore And I am deluded and graceful in my misery And so I close my eyes and fantasize of another time When I didn't know love could be used like a knife And I close my eyes and fantasize of a time in my life When I didn't know you But I never knew you, anyway You're just a bad dream It took some time, but I'm awake And you didn't break me 'Cause I never knew you, anyway You're just a bad dream that I woke from I never knew you, anyway You're just a bad dream I am a daughter and so is she too (so is she) But that old tired argument's wasted on you Why must we ask for what's taken for granted for him?

Losers be sleeping tonight (Show me those party vibes) Hungry for those disco lights (I lost my appetite) Looking for a makeshift high (Can I borrow your high?) Well I'll tell you where this guy will be I'll be in the thick of it In the thick of it Munching on cuticles (Give me another bite) Dishing out red blood cells (There goes another pint) Thin it with alcohol (Oooh scary!)
