Lyrics

I thought you were joking, so I sighed

Like a fool, a fool

You wanted a kingdom and an afterlife

There for you, canopic jars waiting too

And still you try and distance yourself from death

Like you do, like you do

You always do what you wanna do

You said what you wanted

Was to kill me with kindness

So blow out the candles

And pretend you’re not dying

Blow out the candles, blow out the candles

Forget you’re not dying

Blow out the candles, blow out the candles

Are your muscles bleeding?

Does it hurt when you breathe in?

Embrace all these feelings

Death gives your perspective

You’ve lost in denial

I’m crossing my arms

You’re cutting your eyes

Or let’s pretend it’s never going to be

You said what you wanted

Was to kill me with kindness

So blow out the candles

And pretend you’re not dying

Blow out the candles, blow out the candles

Pretend you’re not dying

Blow out the candles, blow out the candles

You’ve read a string of novels I don’t wanna read

You care about everything that doesn’t interest me

Fucking have your cake and eat it, I know that you will

Never change your mind

Blow out the candles, blow out the candles (we’re not)

Blow out the candles, blow out the candles

Blow out the candles, live forever

Blow out the candles, blow out the candles

Blow out the candles, live forever

Blow out the candles, blow out the candles

Blow out the candles, live forever

Blow out the candles, blow out the candles

Blow out the candles, live forever
