Birthday Candles
Lyrics
in the hallway after class
the desperate look of an ex
a second glance as we pass
i know the truth, you're still obsessed
shared belongings repossessed
all the posts that you regret
just the thought that i might take you back
when i threw you out
like you were dirty, day-old birthday candles
i despise like no one else
keep crawling back
this is more than you can handle
days ago you tried to speak
apologies that felt so weak
empty words i’ve heard before
dropped some hints about how you've changed
what you've done to learn your place
well i can’t stand you anyways
just the thought that i might take you back
when i threw you out
like you were dirty, day-old birthday candles
i despise like no one else
keep crawling back
this is more than you can handle
epinephrine
serotonin
dopamine
oxytocin
just the thought that i might want you back
when i threw you out
like you were dirty, day-old birthday candles
i despise like no one else
keep crawling back
this is more than you can handle
Song Notes
i spent so long practicing guitar and this is the only song with a guitar solo? what the fuck. what a rip-off. i should have learned the piano. this song was originally an "i suck, please take me back" song and i decided the album was too negative (lyrically) so i gave the song the ol' flipparoo (lyrically) now it's a "you suck, i'm not taking you back" song refreshing! feminism!! (i imagine this song from a woman's POV)
Recording Notes
i used the OD Glove on this one - MOSFET hngg and my prized humbucking gasoline guitar we put this song (and others) on a big tape machine then sped the tape up otherwise some songs were too dark and too slow that's why this is in the key of "that key between E and F" josh says "nice" at the end. how nice of him.
