about

My brain is trying to convince me that all the people I love are just pretending to like me, I'm never good enough, and I'm always disappointing people! Silly brain.

Hell is empty and all the devils are here (from Shakespeare's The Tempest)!!! / Hell is other people (from Sartre's No Exit)!!!

lyrics

I’m sorry to my dad because I’m fat
I’m sorry mom, I’m asking for money again
I’m sorry to my boyfriend cuz I’m so fucking sad
I’m trying to be better but I can’t

Please just look away, I need some time
If y’all could stop existing, that’d be nice
I’m working on myself so can you please avert your eyes
If we were in Clockstoppers, I‘d stop time

This ain’t Willy Shakes or JP Sartre
People make me kinda wanna
Rip my fucking brains out of my head!

A character in Shakespeare said that hell is empty
All the devils are here and they’re rejoicing
They’re so entertained by my being disappointing
In this metaphor the devils are the ones I love watching me fuck up

And it doesn’t have to be so deep
But it’s hard to live in a society
Where I’m constantly under scrutiny
By the ones I know who already love me
Like a squishy bread from rising yeast
I’ve got so much proving to do
