Stripy Lyrics

Hey Stripy

Hope you're doing well

Who'm I kiddin'

Any update that I dread to hear is hard for her to tell

Because you fell when you were lifted

They all said that you were gifted

The first day they met your face

And looking back, I can't quite place

A lot of things that happened then

My mind has blocked it so that when

I try to reminisce about the good old days your face is never in it

Always hissing at my brothers

Every chance you'd bite my mother

Got more feral every day

Nocturnal in your fight with slumber

Always screaming in the night

How come you never saw the light

We'd try to give you everything

But you'd just take and take

You put us in a place we had to call in for some backup

And it had to happen countless times before they said it'd stack up

Finally, they'd bring in some help

They would take you to a shop

Because your fangs weren't made of cotton anymore

And you just wouldn't stop biting

You did nothing but deceive us any time you could

And any good time I remember with you in it

Meant it's just another ploy for catnip

Catnip

Catnips every chance he gets

How were we supposed to live

It felt like we made quarantine hip

Staying home, stewing in it

Get to the odd family party late and leave early

How you hurt me's almost unforgiveable

Unforgiveable

Maybe soon I'll figure out the difference between forgetting and forgiving

For getting too close, but how was I supposed to know

A broken little stuffed cat could bring on us such sorrow?

Hyper-vigilance

Something I have to live with

Along with anxiety trying me

I can't see through these forced tears that I shed in the shower

Along with these memories that I confuse with reality

I can't see past seven stripes of my life

And I still try to love you

But that is just Stockholm syndrome

And on God's own word it will be worth it when I've found my home

And stop calling my mom on the phone

Please, just leave us alone

We gave you every chance

In that cotton is tone

Every shop that you jump's a surprise to no one

You're a nomad in morals

The landscape's your own

You said that you were clean

And I stood on the seats

And no one understood

But they all had the treats

So unless I see change, I just don't wanna know

And if you're ever out, don't you dare visit home
