Lirik Lagu My Hometown is Sinking - Stephanie Poetri

I get
Intrusive thoughts
In the middle of the night
Use my phone to shine a light
I walk
To the bathroom
Take a piss and reminisce
Of a future without kids

And it's
Chronic
Toxic
Honest
Don't wanna read the news
But what am I supposed to do

Now the snow
Doesn't fall
Like it did before
But I just got engaged
And it's great
And my hometown
Is sinking
It's casual
I go on dates
And try to lose weight

I write another song and pretend

I hope I die before the world ends

I make money to retire at 55
That's 30 years to go, who knows if I'll be alive
I'm all stocked up as far as skincare goes
Ghosting people I met at a show
Showing up 'cause I don't have a choice

And it's
Chronic
Toxic
Honest
Don't wanna read the news
But what am I supposed to do

Now the snow
Doesn't fall
Like it did before
But I just got engaged
And it's great
And my hometown
Is sinking
It's casual
I go on dates
And try to lose weight

(My hometown)
(Is sinking)
I write another song and pretend
(My hometown)
(Is sinking)
I hope I die before the world ends

I just want a house
But I don't make enough
Never going out
What's that all about
I just paid 7 dollars
For a croissant
For a croissant

And my hometown
Is sinking
It's casual
It's not casual
When your hometown
Is sinking
