Fire Drill

Lyrics

I've never fit into any category, always deemed an outcast
 Since I was in Sunday school and all the cool kids said I was weird
 It's exactly the same, they say, "Why do you dress that way?
 Why do you act that way? Why don't you dress like me?"
 So is that what you really wanna say to me?
 You're playing games with me
 Telling me if I'm unkind, 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 it isn't your fault
 You live in a world in your clutch, you don't get out very much
 Living in the 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, 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 be present more, and so should you, it's alright to
 Crying inside
 'Cause nothing I say ever comes out right
 We're on the same side
 If I'm honest with you, you just run and hide
 I'm bad at public speaking
 But I'm speaking now so hear me out (shut up)
 I personally believe that everyone is fully capable
 Of more than what they're doing, all of the bullying
 All of the screwin' around with people
 They don't even really know, oh (blah, blah, blah)
 Eatin' a hate soufflé, and an angry bitter sorbet
 All 'cause you were bored one day
 Losing your wits and your 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, 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 be 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 a 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 anger 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, 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 be present more, and so should you, it's alright to
 I'm getting out of here
