lyrics

you were like a death dream
like a psychopomp, con artist palm reader
we killed it slow-mo like a death scene
like suspiria, psychosexual grim reaper

cuz you weren't like
anybody, anybody else
cuz you weren't like
anybody, anybody else

you were such a drama queen
no offense, i mean you were a real scene stealer
but you were never really what you seemed
ice queen academia, thinker, anti-feeler

no, no, cuz you weren't like
anybody, anybody else
cuz you weren't like
anybody, anybody else

scene stealer, death dealer
academic polemic-writing, fighting overachiever
a real teeth-bared-type mess stress-reliever
i guess i thought i'd never leave her
gotta admit, she was a bad bitch, killer vibe
serial polyamorist, she would've buried your girl alive
deep dive, the queen type, the bury-you-alive type
were sex, lies, mental-flexing conversations worth the hype

uh, i guess i don't know

i don't know, i don't care
i want a white girl with a big derriere
a mean-ass girl to play with my hair
distract me from my deep despair
don't we make quite the pair
bare and baring teeth, oh i'm getting scared
i terribly love how unfair you dare
to be to me while all i do is care

oh, she'll hurt me
yeah, i know she don't deserve me
but you see, she's like a death dream
psychopomp-led deep sleep
the sweetest dream

cuz you weren't like
anybody, anybody else
cuz you weren't like
anybody, anybody else
cuz you weren't like
anybody, anybody else
cuz you weren't like
anybody, anybody else
cuz you weren't like
anybody...
