Dunce Pageant Lyrics by The Superweaks

The World Is A Terrible Place & I Hate Myself And Want To Die

2014

[Verse 1]
When the lights they drip like rain
In a warmer city than we began
I know I won't follow through
Because now I know that it's just you
I've got no confidence
I'm just a lonely swan in an endless lake
Where I'm thrown bread for food by a party of two
I do it to myself
I know I can't laugh hard or my throat gives out
Well I've got nothing interesting to say, anyway
And I'm just looking up to the bright side
While you're looking down at me
And I'm just hoping I'll remember the smile on your face
But will you remember me?
Anyway
[Chorus]
You've got black eyеliner on
To hide the sunsеt
On your budding life that you'll regret
Won't you let me be your pride?
And you can be mine
And we could have it all for all our favorite things
We have grown to hate
[Verse 2]
Because I see me in you
I see a little girl who's afraid to be true
But I won't have it any other way
Oh, maybe this could be love!
I feel it in my chest
Now my stomach's always full
Yeah I feel different around you
And it's the way that you smile
It's the way that you sigh
It's the way that you lie through your denial
And I just can't get through
But I'm crazy for you
[Chorus]
You've got black eyeliner on
To hide the sunset
On your budding life that you'll regret
Won't you let me be your pride?
And you can be mine
And we could have it all
We'll have it all
[Verse 3]
It's the same old song I've always sung
I could be dead by thirty-one
We could have it all
We'll have it all
When the lights they drip like rain
In a warmer city than we became
I know I won't follow through
With you
