## Lyrics

[Intro]

Tonight, my mother said that I

Should never go outside

That I should run and hide

Donate my brains to charity

A one, two, three

[Verse 1]

So, I'm lost in the supermarket shopping for my sense of self

I wandered down the aisles tryna figure out where I disappeared to

What will I adhere to? And what could I appear to be?

And maybe I'm with the strawberries, alone on the shelf

Because they breathe and bleed, and they're sweet like me

They hold my hand and they make it seem that right now

In this moment, I don't need to be afraid

[Chorus]

Tonight, my mother said that I

Should never go outside

That I should run and hide

Donate my brains to charity

I, I'd rather go blind

Than to look into your eyes

And tell you that I lied

Donate my brains to charity

[Verse 2]

So I made myself sad 'cause I feel comfortable here

So I made myself mad because I don't want to steer

To be off the rails is to live without fear

But when you start feeling nothing, nothing becomes clear

So please speak, please laugh, please dance, please cry

Feel every fuckin' tear that falls from your eye

'Cause to feel is to breathe and to fear is to be free

And to be free is what it means to be successful to me

[Chorus]

Tonight, my mother said that I

Should never go outside

That I should run and hide

Donate my brains to charity

I, I'd rather go blind

Than to look into your eyes

And tell you that I lied

Donate my brains to charity

[Post-Chorus]

And now, here alone

That I put into my phone

Love, I'm never coming home

Donate my brains to charity

I just feel that I'm not real

I put my hands on the steering wheel

And if I crash, I'm made of steel

Donate my brains to charity

[Bridge]

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la, yeah

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la, yeah

[Chorus]

Yeah, tonight, my mother said that I

Should never go outside

That I should run and hide

Donate my brains to charity

I, I'd rather go blind

Than to look into your eyes

And tell you that I lied

Donate my brains to charity

[Post-Chorus]

(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)

And now, here alone

(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)

That I put into my phone

Love, I'm never coming home

Donate my brains to charity

(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)

I just feel that I'm not real

(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)

I put my hands on the steering wheel

And if I crash, I'm made of steel

Donate my brains to charity
