Lyrics:
[Verse 1] I'm not a bad guy So don’t treat me bad if I'm feeling sad, alright? Please don't be mad if I don’t smile back, alright? If I fuck up my words, don't think I'm absurd, alright? Alright? [Pre-Chorus] I'm physically exhausted Tired of my knuckles beating I'm chewing gum to pass this time of sadness Can't you see it? You're too busy seeking selfish wishes Don't care how I’m feeling You write me up and say it’s love And I can't believe it [Chorus] Baby, can you meet me tonight in detention? I can feel your blood pressure rise, fuck this tension Let me crawl up into your mind, did I mention? Pretending everything’s alright is detention [Post-Chorus] De-de-detention De-de-detention Pretending everything's alright is (Shh) [Verse 2] The teachers don't care about me Fuck how I feel as long as I make money They let them do whatever they want to me They're the customer, I’m chopped meat I'm chopped meat [Pre-Chorus] I'm physically exhausted Tired of my knuckles beating I'm chewing gum to pass this time of sadness Can't you see it? You're too busy seeking selfish wishes Don't care how I'm feeling You write me up and say it's love And I can't believe it [Chorus] Baby, can you meet me tonight in detention? I can feel your blood pressure rise, fuck this tension Let me crawl up into your mind, did I mention? Pretending everything's alright is detention [Post-Chorus] De-de-detention De-de-detention Pretending everything's alright is detention [Bridge] I wanna go home and you say, "Now is not the time" Fuck being all alone in back of the classroom, ah Stop calling up my phone tryna say that I've been out of line When all I ever asked was to go to the bathroom [Chorus] Baby, can you meet me tonight in detention? I can feel your blood pressure rise, fuck this tension Let me crawl up into your mind, did I mention? Pretending everything's alright is detention [Outro] Tonight, I can feel your blood pressure rise Let me crawl up into your mind Pretending everything's alright (Is detention)
