"***Glue Stick***" is a song made by Katrina Martinez. The song was released as the twelfth for her album "First day of Hell" on September 2nd, 2018.

**Background**

The song was recorded in 2014 for the "Crybaby's Extra Clutter" EP and album version of "First day of Hell" and later rerecorded for the final version of the album.

When Katrina first wrote the song, it was titled "Zippers" and was produced by an unknown producer. Katrina was unsatisfied with the original 2014 version, she reworked it with Kinetics & One Love and renamed it to "Glue Stick"

**Theme**

This song is about talking things out - whether it's domestic abuse, depression, or suicidal thoughts. The song is about the difficulties of talking about sensitive subjects and how people usually "keep their lips sealed". In the song, Cry Baby is encouraging Glue Boy to ignore people that are preventing him from talking about his issues.

**Lyrics**

[Intro]
Keep your lips sealed
Keep your, keep your lips sealed
Keep your lips sealed
Keep your-
Hush child, hush child
Keep your lips sealed
Keep your, keep your lips sealed
Keep your lips sealed
Keep your-
Hush child, hush child

[Verse 1]
There's a boy in the classroom
Always does what he's asked to, following the class rules
I know he's in the bathroom
With his sleeves pulled down and the zipper pulled high
Kids snickering in the hallway
Dealing with it all day, fuck what they all say
I know why you're different, different
I know what goes down inside your kitchen, kitchen

[Pre-chorus]
I know you've been hiding something
Mama tell you you should hush it, hush it
I know why you're distant, distant
I know what goes down inside your kitchen, kitchen

[Chorus]
Hush child, hush child
Seal up them loose lips
I know you're craving another glue stick
Why is it so hard to let the truth come out? Mmm
"Don't speak, don't speak, cover up your bruises"
That's what they say when they feed you a glue stick
Why is it so hard to let the truth come out? Mmm

[Post-chorus 1]
Keep your lips sealed
Keep your, keep your lips sealed
Keep your lips sealed
Keep your-
Hush child, hush child
Keep your lips sealed
Keep your, keep your lips sealed
Hush child

[Verse 2]
You know you don't have to
Be so quiet when someone asks you
Why you're in the bathroom
Why your sleeves pulled down and the zipper pulled high

[Pre-chorus]
I-I-I know you've hiding something
Mama tell you you should hush it, hush it
I know why you're distant, distant
I know what goes down inside your kitchen, kitchen

[Chorus]
Hush child, hush child, seal up them loose lips
I know you're craving another glue stick
Why is it so hard to let the truth come out? Mmm
"Don't speak, don't speak, cover up your bruises"
That's what they say when they feed you a glue stick
Why is it so hard to let the truth come out? Mmm

[Post-chorus 2]
Keep your lips sealed
(Glue-oh-ooh, Glue-oh-ooh, Glue-oh-ooh)
Hush child, hush child
Keep your lips sealed
(Glue-oh-ooh, Glue-oh-ooh, Glue-oh-ooh)
Mhm, mhm, mhm (Hush child)
Keep your lips sealed (Glue-oh-ooh)
Keep, keep your lips sealed (Glue-oh-ooh)
Keep your lips sealed (Glue-oh-ooh)
Keep your lips sealed (Glue-oh-ooh)
Keep, keep your lips sealed (Glue-oh-ooh)
Keep, keep your lips sealed (Glue-oh-ooh)
Hush child (Glue-oh-ooh)

[Chorus]
Hush child, hush child, seal up them loose lips
I know you're craving another glue stick
Why is it so hard to let the truth come out? Mmm
"Don't speak, don't speak, cover up your bruises"
That's what they say when they feed you a glue stick
Why is it so hard to let the truth come out? Mmm

[Post-chorus 3]
Hush child, hush child
Hush child, hush child, hush child
Why is it so hard to let the truth come out? Mmm
"Don't speak, don't speak, cover up your bruises"
That's what they say when they feed you a glue stick
Why is it so hard to let the truth come out? Mmm

[Outro]
Hush child, hush child
Seal up them loose lips, mhm
I know you're craving a glue stick, mhm

Let me open up your toy chest
