i let the dog hump my foot under the table
and i would rather talk into the wires not just the ethers
and I'm terrified that I'm not scared to die
yeah I'm terrified that I'm not scared to die

I'm still just a child climbing trees all for the danger
scraping my knees and picking scabs like dusty tree bark
and my breath that i would hold just to be held
yeah id faint just so my mom would rush to help

when i was four i planned my death down to the hour
when no one was home id wear a dress and slip in the shower
cause i heard thats what happened to her sister
yeah thats what happened to my best friends sister

and id like to believe its all an act
id like to believe its for the attention
but I'm just not too certain of that

now that I'm nineteen and my songs are all still bummers
i wish i could be a bit more like you cause you're still hopeful 
and i am still my parents anxious daughter
and i promised myself that id be better

if i do what i want how come i still get anxious 
if i do what i want why am crying on the freeway

and id like to believe its all an act
id like to believe its for the attention
but I'm just not too certain of that
