Track 2 of "Mic Check, Please!", a "Check, Please!" inspired EP!

Fun fact: this was the 6th song I wrote for this, and the first part I came up with was actually the second verse! Overall I wanted this one to sound like a lullaby! Hope you enjoy <3

I Was An Island (EP Version)

Oh, mrs believer

this is a song from two years ago. it’s bad. listen with leniency, and if you connect with it, please get a therapist lol.


lyrics:
there’s been a mass shooting every year i’ve been alive
i’ve been hiding in school bathrooms since the moment i turned five
yes, i’ve wanted to eat tide pods,
i could sing you all of all star on the spot.
i’ve considered being a stripper ‘cause i’m good at spending money
and sometimes i find trivial things like the word penis funny
(there’s a rest here, ideally for me laughing, but it just sounds bad)
and i very much crave love, but i’d settle for mcdonald’s instead

gen z culture is
being suicidal
calling hot girls idols
opening a stripper bar
gen z culture is
sleeping at the wrong times
and being very openly bi-
lingual :)
(and also just a little gay)

i was born in the year of our good dying lord ‘04
i’ve been through every phase, but like a year before
in my twisted attempt to grow up,
i forgot what for.
‘cause i wanted so bad to be older,
and smarter
and better.
i wanted so bad to be validated
and not sedated.

gen z culture is
being suicidal
calling hot girls idols
opening a stripper bar
gen z culture is
sleeping at the wrong times
and being very openly bi-
lingual :)
(and also just a little gay, ¡pequeño!)

“what’s wrong with you?” they scream and shout
as if they don’t know what acting up is about
our version of rebellion is feeling joy,
not drinking and smoking while our bodies we destroy,
it’s a revolution to feel okay,
but what do we know, we’re only in ninth grade.

gen z culture is
normalizing everything,
fighting over anything,
legalizing marijuana.
gen z culture is
having no actual friends,
cheating on your girlfriend,
doing it for instagram.
gen z culture is
all the seven deadly sins
‘cause god is dead and so am i
but only on the inside.
gen z culture is
fighting just to fight
‘cause you don’t know when tragedy will striiiiiike (cringe, literally cringing rn, why do i vibrate)

gen z culture is
being suicidal
calling hot girls idols
opening a stripper bar
gen z culture is
sleeping at the wrong times
and being very openly bi-

gen z culture is 
being suicidal,
not telling your parents,
telling them you love them.
gen z culture is
loving everything you have 
‘cause everything you have might go away
someday (it riffs into notes WAY out of my range both then AND now)

being very openly biiiiiiilingual :)

[Verse 1]
I wear a TV screen on my head, play the happy channels
Channel happy thoughts, make the people happy 
(I'm not happy)
Flip dials, try to tune the mind I'm holding hostage
Never mind, I lost it 
(Stop it!)

I'm a crazy, people
Showing people what they wanna see on a TV screen so they'll face me

I feel the static in the air I breathe
It's getting harder to keep holding up this TV 

[Chorus]
Got a TV Head
I wake up with my brain scattered
Feel numb, put on a screen cuz it's easier to just pretend
Mama says: "always try to look your best, 
always try to look your best, TV Head"

[Verse 2]
Instead of looking like I feel, making everybody wonder
Should I even be here anyway?
Cuz when the only thing that's real is the meaning hidden under what I try to write on the page
Maybe that's why I'm here: they need me

I feel the static in the air I breathe
It's getting harder to keep holding up this TV 

[Chorus]
Got a TV Head
I wake up with my brain scattered
Feel numb, put on a screen cuz it's easier to just pretend
Mama says: "always try to look your best, 
always try to look your best, TV Head"

I'm happy on the outside 
But dying on the inside baby 
I'm happy on the outside 
But dying on the inside, save me 
I'm happy on the outside 
But dying on the inside baby 
I'm happy on the outside 
I'm happy on the outside 

[Chorus]
Got a TV Head
I wake up with my brain scattered
Feel numb, put on a screen cuz it's easier to just pretend
Mama says: "always try to look your best"

Got a TV Head
I wake up with my brain scattered
Feel numb, put on a screen cuz it's easier to just pretend
Mama says: "always try to look your best, TV head"
TV Head
