I Hate It Here

[00:00.30] Quick, quick, tell me something awful

[00:03.50] Like you are a poet trapped inside the body of a finance guy

[00:10.60] Tell me all your secrets, all you'll ever be is

[00:14.80] My eternal consolation prize

[00:19.20] You see, I was a debutante in another life, but

[00:23.80] Now I seem to be scared to go outside

[00:28.40] If comfort is a construct, I don't believe in good luck

[00:33.10] Now that I know what's what

[00:36.20] I hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind

[00:41.20] People need a key to get to, the only one is mine

[00:45.40] I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child

[00:50.50] No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears

[00:54.80] I'm there most of the year 'cause I hate it here

[01:01.10] I hate it here

[01:12.30] My friends used to play a game where

[01:15.90] We would pick a decade

[01:18.10] We wished we could live in instead of this

[01:22.70] I'd say the 1830s but without all the racists

[01:27.10] And getting married off for the highest bid

[01:32.20] Everyone would look down 'cause it wasn't fun now

[01:36.60] Seems like it was never even fun back then

[01:40.70] Nostalgia is a mind's trick

[01:43.40] If I'd been there, I'd hate it

[01:45.40] It was freezing in the palace

[01:48.70] I hate it here so I will go to lunar valleys in my mind

[01:53.40] When they found a better planet, only the gentle survived

[01:57.80] I dreamed about it in the dark, the night I felt like I might die

[02:02.80] No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears

[02:06.90] I'm there most of the year 'cause I hate it here

[02:14.80] I hate it here

[02:24.70] I'm lonely, but I'm good

[02:27.30] I'm bitter, but I swear I'm fine

[02:29.70] I'll save all my romanticism for my inner life and I'll get lost on purpose

[02:37.90] This place made me feel worthless

[02:43.40] Lucid dreams like electricity, the current flies through me

[02:47.80] And in my fantasies, I rise above it

[02:52.30] And way up there, I actually love it

[02:56.50] I hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind

[03:01.50] People need a key to get to, the only one is mine

[03:05.80] I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child

[03:11.10] No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears

[03:14.90] I'm there most of the year 'cause I hate it here

[03:22.90] I hate it here

[03:28.50] Quick, quick, tell me something awful

[03:33.70] Like you are a poet trapped inside the body of a finance guy
