Sweet Hibiscus Tea

Penelope Scott

    Continues after the ad

    Here's the thing: I can't do anything right
    Try as I absolutely totally might
    The bones are melting, the skeleton is ash
    The clavicle detaches and falls with a deafening crash

    And I'm not your protagonist
    I'm not even my own
    I don't know anything
    I don't even know what I don't know
    And if you look outside you’ll see disintegrating trees
    The artificial way the sunlight bounces off the waxy leaves
    My heart catches on every thorn
    You’re already halfway out the door
    And I’ve never looked so old
    And I have never been so cold
    And it is 85 degrees
    I don’t know what I need

    Continues after the ad

    There’s lukewarm herbal mango sweet hibiscus tea
    On the hot garbage pile in which I fucking sleep
    The walls are empty, it’s so ugly
    I could burn the whole place down
    It wouldn’t catch ‘cause all the posters are on their
    Way to my hometown

    And I am not your protagonist
    I'm not even my own
    I don't know anything
    I don't even know what I don't know
    And if you look outside you’ll see disintegrating trees
    The artificial way the sunlight bounces off the glitching leaves
    My wet heart catches on every thorn
    You’re already halfway out the door
    And I'm so tiny and so old
    And God it’s never been so cold
    And it is 85 degrees
    I don’t know what I need
