Lyrics

Aftermath

[Intro]

WNDRBRD

Ooh

[Verse 1]

I apologize for waiting to tell you for so long

I am not human

I am made of bacon, fairy tales, pixie dust, I don't feel

I hung myself and didn't die

I'm omnipotent, I'm alive

Not real, I'm alive

You leave me careless, I like it

I like it

[Pre-Chorus]

Caught up in the blast

Caught up in the action

Caught up in the burstin' flame

There's comfort in dyin'

There's comfort in burnin'

[Chorus]

Maybe we should burn

Maybe we should burn

Maybe we should burn

Maybe we should burn, burn

[Verse 2]

Doubt I'll ever be anyone's baby (Baby)

Living as a unicorn gets so lonely (Lonely)

I have no answers, I have no questions

Stuck in your tandem

Heat that's worth standing

I like it

[Pre-Chorus]

Caught up in the blast

Caught up in the action

Caught up in the burstin' flame

There's comfort in dyin'

There's comfort in burnin'

[Chorus]

Maybe we should burn

Maybe we should burn

Maybe we should burn

Maybe we should burn, burn

[Bridge]

I can feel the accidents happenin' slowly

Fallin' for the rapture ever so boldly

I will go willingly, you don't have to kidnap

I'd like to be kidnapped

You leave me careless, I like it

I like it

[Chorus]

Maybe we should burn

Maybe we should burn

Maybe we should burn

Maybe we should burn, burn

[Outro]

Doubt I'll ever be anyone's baby
