about

literally about this girl I met who told me that her anxiety goes through the roof whenever she get's a haircut. And about the irony of burning my throat on relaxing tea. I also almost suffocated trying to sing this (wow how professional)

lyrics

Set the stove on high, burning metal and burning questions
burn your throat on magnolia blossoms,
sit on the counter with your dirty dishes
stacked up like all your problems, you handed me a brush looking like I could solve them.

I crashed them on the floor, maybe that's how we'll win this war x2

chorus: Flowers bloom behind my teeth, and I'm drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning. Burn my throat so I can't eat I'm drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning.

I hope the writing on your car never get's washed, I swear to god I said what I meant. I hope you slit your fingers on the blades of grass, on the other side of your white picket fence. you told me about the anxiety you felt when they cut off three inches of your hair. In the meanwhile I'm not prepared to lose all my friends, and I'm scared. And I'm sorry if i'm getting too annoying, i"m stuck in my over-sized skin, from the recycle bin. You see i'm just another piece of paper, another resume, another bill to pay, another casualty. brew me another cup,
cuz it's so hard to swallow reality.

oh magnolia blossoms, what are you doing to me, I promised you that we would of won this war by now x2

Flowers bloom inside my mouth like atom bombs, it makes me feel so warm and calm.
Flowers bloom inside my lungs like atom bombs, it makes me feel so warm and calm, how could this go wrong? how could this, how could this, how could this go wrong?

Flowers bloom behind my teeth, and i'm drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning,
burn my throat so I can't eat, I'm drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning
flowers bloom behind my teeth, and I'm drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning.
maybe one day I'll wake up from this dream of drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning.
