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 forget 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,
Embrace all these feelings.
Death gives you 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
[repeat]
