Tongue in cheek

(album: boneyard aka fearmonger - 2021)

(It's the new wave of the future!)
(Celebrity?) (F-f-f-f-f-fuck)

You used to pull your tongue to your cheek
When you got mad
I don't know if you still do it
But I wanted to try it on
So I did it near the end of the retreat and I felt bad
'Cause I'm pretty sure the other kids knew that something was wrong

And nobody knows you
But I'd be embarrassed if they did
'Cause I've idolized you
Ever since I was a kid

Bar none, hands down
You were great at playing your part
I was wearing your expressions 'round the house as a plan of attack
And there's millions of people around the globe that know who you are
But as lonely as I was I guess I kinda wanted something like that

And nobody knows you
But I'd be embarrassed if they did
Cause I've had my mind set
Ever since I was a kid

And if you were what I should've been
And if you were what I should've been
(And if you were what I should've been)
Someone set some pretty fucking high standards...
Someone set some pretty fucking high standards!

(Standards...) (Woo!)
(Someone set some pretty fucking high standards!)
