I.
I know I wasn't your favorite song
but I still thought you might be proud of me

II.
The parson is screaming at the congregation
and he called himself a hillbilly
just a second ago
but I'm still not sure
what he's trying to tell me
besides going to church will give you a headache

III.
The clock on the wall isn't ticking
and my head hurts
why do you have a microphone if you're already screaming

IV.
Ils sont penibles et
Ils ne sont pas très intelligents et
Je veux retourner chez moi mais
ma mère parle avec ses copains
et mon père dort dans la voiture

V.
It is 9.05 pm
and I wonder if you've called

VI.
It is loud because everyone in this house is talking
and it is too loud because
not a single one wants to talk to me
I have been hiding
(for because of the headache)
and no one has come to check once
Everyone is too busy
pretending not to be sad
and I am too busy
pretending to be an adult
and then acting like a child
It's okay because I wanted to hide
anyways

VII.
You're not a bad dad
I'm just a bad person
who thinks bad thoughts
You're not a bad mom
I'm just a bad kid
who never caught the drift
I'm sorry if I hurt you
cause that's just what I do
I'm the bad influence and
I'm the one to blame
Anyone can tell you that I
just can't behave -
can't keep my mouth shut
I've got no money left to save
I'm sorry that I failed you
as I do time and time again
I'm only good at metaphors
and wiggling this stupid pen
