Birthdays & Bullshit from Adult Child by Buick Audra

every time we talked
it was the day-to-day of families and jobs
no, not mine, but every now and then
you’d say, “how are you guys”
as if that oughta cover it

and I asked one time
who was in “you guys”
and I’ll never hear from you again

I’ll be the one
one to say it, one to name it
I’ll be the one
one to claim it, so you can blame it
the one that every single feeling
you don’t like is pinned on

maybe it’s okay
they’re always saying that we outgrow everything
it’s a drag, but maybe not as much as being
just one half of “you guys”

and if I can’t ask
without the collapse
of our friendship in a single call

I’ll be the one
one to say it, one to name it
I’ll be the one
one to claim it, so you can blame it
the one that every single feeling
you don’t like is pinned on

think I’ve had enough of the birthdays and bullshit
I’d like to explore all the things that are not said
I tried, you know
I tried, but I—

wanna say it, wanna name it
I’ll be the one
one to claim it, so you can blame it
the one that every single feeling
you don’t like is pinned on
I wanna say it, wanna name it
I’ll be the one
one to claim it, so you can blame it
the one that every single feeling
you don’t like is pinned on
every single feeling
you don’t like is pinned on
