about

A self-love anthem about privilege, the apocalypse, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

lyrics

I was told there's no need for prayers,
Every good boy gets to be a slayer,
the quarterback singing loud.
I took off the crown from their empires,
I don't have the strength to fight vampires,
nobody picked me from the crowd.

And that's how I made it from New Brunswick,
the boyfriend who's gonna make you come quick
and see the gift get got just for you.
Now my hands have crippling hesitation,
cold bones from touch starvation.
What's a learning boy supposed to do?

I'll be your girl of all seasons.
Had enough missions and not enough reasons.
When I've given up, there is a love I don't have to give.
The hardest things in this world is to live in it.

I learned that magic's a privilege,
take away the distortion from the image,
that's how you give the space away.
Found a gang and told them I loved them.
Even if they take me out of heaven,
I can finally sing what I couldn't say.

And that's how I made it from the first guy,
from the belt I tried to make a neck tie,
from the empty, the casualties.
Cause even if my love is still just potential,
even if the moment seems providential,
between my world and the apocalypse, there's me.

(Don't expect me to open wide)
(I've given enough free passes to my bloody insides)
(I'm gonna walk everyday in the sun)
(my great ass is the best I've got for a chosen one)

I'll be your girl of all seasons.
Had enough missions, and not enough resasons.
When I've given up, there is a love I don't have to give.
The hardest thing in this world is to live in it.
