Dirty Imbecile

by The Happy Fits

on Awfully Apeelin' (2016)

Verse 1:
If I'm so smart and I'm so pretty
Damn this town and damn this city
You never give me anything that I want

No one seems to really care
They're just wholly unaware
Of all the blood and sweat I cry before dawn

Bridge:
But you won't understand
All the things that I am
Cause' I'm crazy in just too many ways

But I get that little feel
When my heart starts beating; lungs stop breathing;
All my fibers say to run away

Chorus:
Count my little scars, I've got dozens down inside
I come complete and invincible, behind my dirty imbecile
All these things I've tried, boy: be cute, be dumb, be wise, be young
So don't tell me what to fear in the darkness in this atmosphere

Verse:
Love my mum and love my daddy
Sure they messed me up but that is
Voices that they left inside of my head

Darling, dearest, don't you see
I'm tough, I'm smart, I'm bourgeois?
And I'll play out this lie until we're all dead

Bridge:
But you won't understand
All the things that I am
Cause' I'm crazy in just too many ways

But I get that little feel
When my heart starts beating; lungs stop breathing;
All my fibers say to run away

Chorus:
Count my little scars, I've got dozens down inside
I come complete and invincible, behind my dirty imbecile
All these things I've tried, boy: be cute, be dumb, be wise, be young
So don't tell me what to fear in the darkness in this atmosphere

Counter-chorus:
Am I good? Is all I could
Enough for you?

I'm so scared
Of when and where
I'll find the truth
