lyrics

Dear world, you have explaining to do
dear friend i trusted you
dear friend i held your hand for as long as i could, and i still trust you
your sarcasm is a sickness, i hear it in my head and in my bones
dear friend, wave your arms if you're still here

i'm a lying journalist, a screaming silence
a beloved monster, a positive jam
an easy grade, an experienced child
a fiendly fire, a happy nightmare

dear world you are silly and absurd (but i like it)
dear sadness you are summed up in blue but i bet i can turn you red
dear truth you matter more than we give you credit for
dear optimism, you may be crazy
dear world, i'm not done with you!
