Melanie Martinez
Colouring Book
There's a house in my neighbourhood with a perfect lawn
But inside their kitchen, there's something deeply wrong
When melatonin cries, she makes everybody drown
She makes everybody frown, she makes everyone feel down
She's at a party in the corner, eating cake all alone
Drunk outta her mind, boyfriends begging her to answer the phone
Nothing evеr stays inside the lines, nothing еver stays inside her lines
Someone died, she's heading to the funeral, all dressed in black
She's laughing and really doesn't fucking feel sad
When melatonin laughs, everyone goes silent
Everyone knows she's violent, listening to her like she's Simon
She's playing with her building blocks, feeling super sad
How the fuck could she do something so bad and then laugh
Up on the roof, holding close on to her baby bottle and her teddy bear Zack
Don't risk it melatonin, if you fall there's no coming back
If you jump you ain't ever coming back
You can always change and forget your past
Melatonin, just forget it, fuck the past, just change (a hah many times)
She's crazy, she's scared, she's a psycho
Boys, girls, be careful
She's a lot to handle, you're in for a treat
Depressed and embarrassed
All thanks to her dysfunctional parents
She can never colour properly in the lines
In her colouring book
All the colours stay out the lines
All she can do is whine
About her bad colouring book
There's a girl on the local carousel holding out her hand
And nobody grabs it, she just doesn't understand
When melatonin yells, everyone feels overwhelmed
Everyone hates how she rebels, everyone knows she hates herself
She drinks wine out her sippy cup, drinking her pain away
I know she wishes she wasn't born this way
Nothing ever stays inside the lines, nothing ever stays inside her lines
Her only friend is a teddy bear named Zack
Talked shit about her right behind her back
He even tried to kill her, but she killed him first
Melatonin's a winner, yay now get off the roof
If you jump you ain't ever coming back
You can always change and forget your past
Melatonin, just forget it, fuck the past, just change (a hah 5x)
Yes I'm melatonin and these are the pages to my colouring book
(many times)
