#i'll flip that late night show desk right over the stage into the audience

[midsummerknife]

if the lyrics “you who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes, sipping coffee like you’re on a late night show” don’t fill you with rage then you’re not listening to this part of the song right. HE CHARMED THEM ALL INTO A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY AND TRUST! HIS CHARM WAS A REHEARSED PERFORMANCE! HIS CHARM AS AN ACTOR ENDS AS SOON AS THE STUDIO LIGHTS GO DOWN! HIS ENTIRE EXISTENCE IN THE HEARTBROKEN GIRL’S LIFE WAS A PERFORMANCE! WAS IT EVER REAL???????? YES IT FUCKING WAS BECAUSE EVEN IF YOU DON’T, SHE REMEMBERS IT ALL TOO FUCKING WELL

#RAGING ON A THURSDAY MORNING AND WHY??? #really no reason #this lyric just SETS ME ON FIRE #she's not recalling the memory fondly #she's recalling it with disgust and distain #how dare you not only manipulate me but manipulate my family #the ones who trusted you to care for me #the ones who watched you not show up to your 21st birthday party #oh god i could flip a table #i'll flip that late night show desk right over the stage into the audience
