loved the snippets she posted so much i had to make an extended version, also i made this on my phone with no history of making music sorry i tried my best. all music and media owned by ethel cain!!
there is so much cynicism, melancholy and criticism of society, but also pride in the own background and proud of yourself. That's incredibly good for such a cheerful pop song.
First new verse lyrics I think: Grew up online as a fighter. Believe in that ride and you'll die here. Thinking it's still the same as it always was. But I cried for nights and days and if there is a woman I'll make a way. Pledge my allegiance to freedom through violence.
Second new verse lyrics I think: Living on my faith to the bad news. Only being good 'cause I have to. If these walls could talk they'd tell me to leave. So young, so much to fear. Are you there God? Save me I hate it here. Just please don't forget about me.
Full Lyrics (not official, done by ear) Grew up under yellow light on the street Putting too much faith in the make believe Another high-school football team The neighbor's brother came home in a box But he wanted to go so maybe it was his fault Another red heart taken by the American dream And I feel it there In the middle of the night When the lights go out And I'm all alone again Say what you want But say it like you mean it with your fists for once A long, cold war with your kids at the front Just give it one more day then you're done I do what I want Crying in the bleachers and I said it was fun I don't need anything from anyone It's just not my year But I'm all good out here Grew up online as a fighter Believing they’re right and you’ll die here Thinking it’s still the same as it always was But I cried for nights and days And if there isn’t one then I’ll make a way Pledge my allegiance to freedom through violence And I feel it there In the middle of the night When the lights go out But I'm still standing here Say what you want But say it like you mean it with your fists for once A long, cold war with your kids at the front Just give it one more day then you're done I do what I want Crying in the bleachers and I said it was fun I don't need anything from anyone It's just not my year But I'm all good out here So I’m moving out my faith to the bad news Only being good cause I have to It these walls could talk they’d tell me to leave So young, so much to fear Are you there God? Save me, I hate it here Just please don’t forget about me And I feel it there In the middle of the night When the lights go out But I'm still standing here Say what you want But say it like you mean it with your fists for once A long, cold war with your kids at the front Just give it one more day then you're done I do what I want Crying in the bleachers and I said it was fun I don't need anything from anyone It's just not my year But I'm all good out here Sunday morning Hands over my knees in a room full of faces I'm sorry if I seemed off, but I was probably wasted (wasted) And didn't feel so good (feel so good) Head full of whiskey but I always deliver Jesus, if you're listening, let me handle my liquor And Jesus, if you're there Why do I feel alone in this room with you? And I feel it there In the middle of the night When the lights go out But I'm still standing here Say what you want But say it like you mean it with your fists for once A long, cold war with your kids at the front Just give it one more day then you're done I do what I want Crying in the bleachers and I said it was fun I don't need anything from anyone It's just not my year But I'm all good out here Say what you want But say it like you mean it with your fists for once A long, cold war with your kids at the front Just give it one more day then you're done I do it for my daddy and I do it for Dale I'm doing what I want and damn, I'm doing it well For me For me For me For me
