Bed Sores
Fireworks Lyrics

I'm glad that you still came by
I appreciate that you visited me despite my cold demeanor

But it wasn't really icy outside
The weather wasn't the reason for my mood

I was just in one of my moods
I was feeling emotionally low

Now we're laughing on the sheets in my room
We have moved past my mood and are enjoying each other's company

My mother she slept on the couch
My mother couldn't afford her own bed

While deer hooves made holes in the ground
The deer outside were causing damage to the property

Maybe my brothers blood
Possibly, my brother's memory or influence is still present

Dripped on me from the top bunk
His presence is still felt, even though he's not there physically

I keep telling myself
I try to convince myself

Everybody's hell's better than my own
Other people are probably dealing with worse situations than I am

And my hell's my own
But my own struggles and difficulties are still personal and valid

The neighbors were young back then
My neighbors were relatively new to the area

And their homes were new to them
And they were proud of their new houses

Now they can't sleep at night
Now they are dealing with their own personal struggles

Cause their husbands are dying inside
Their husbands are facing personal difficulties but are not sharing them with their partners

These houses are headstones
The houses around us are like monuments to our struggles

These basements they are graves
The basements, where people often hide their problems, are like personal tombs

After getting out, I
After leaving my childhood home

I never thought I, would want back in
I used to want to leave, but now I long for the comfort of my old home

Everybody's hell's better than my own
Other people's struggles may seem easier or more manageable than our own

And my hell's my own
But our own struggles are still valid and difficult to deal with
