about

It's pretty obvious who this is about? But let's pretend I was subtle.

Also, this single was prematurely released on my SoundCloud: soundcloud.com/lianna-gekker/to-a-mad-scientist

lyrics

Four sets, and laboratory
Chem sets, obligatory
Headsets, connecting you to me

Weakness surrounded by the
Sadness of bitter nihilists
Genius is synonymous with madness

But don’t you laugh at my table
My table laughs at me
My table breaks cacophony
I’m capable of everything

When will you teach us all your
Reasons for feeling taller
Tell me, how does it feel to shame everyone?

Mornings are plagued with bags on
Your eyes, the tired nights need
Fireflies to put you back to sleep

But don’t you dare blame meaning
It never hurt your wife
You’re playing with fire and burning ice
You play god and damn him all the time

Fix all the kinks, but you’re fresh out of drinks
Your Bailey-flavoured pain
Passed out on the deck, you’re all incorrect
No stranger to disarray

To a mad scientist
To a mad scientist
To a mad scientist
To a mad scientist

Find another partner in hopes of feeling lost
Is bravery all worth the cost
Of feeling like you’re double-crossed?
