List of Nevers
Fold your hands and close your eyes
kneel by the altar and look up to the sky
speak your false words to your absent god
still I'm the one you're calling odd
Peas and Gravy, Peace and grace
Don't you ever dare show a single trace
of anger or sadness, god forbid you be real
god forbid you do something besides conceal
Can't show my skin and I can't think I'm pretty
Can't gain more weight and I can't think I'm skinny
Can't challenge authority and I can't think you're sh*tty
Can't date no one at all and I can't be too sl*tty
Can't flirt with my friends and I can't be too smutty
Can't be depressed and I can't be so happy
Can't not be sorry but I can't seem so guilty
Can't make my jokes and I can't think I'm funny
Can't eat too much but I can't be so hungry
Can't like my friends but I can't be so lonely
Can't overwork myself but I can't be so lazy
Can't try too hard but I can't be so faulty
Never, never never, list your f*cking nevers
Ever, ever, ever, do you think of me ever
Never, never, never, list your f*cking nevers
Ever, ever, ever, do you think of me ever
If there's really a hell and a heaven
I know already I ain't making it in
When even my smile is a sin
