Suburban Wife (demo)

They're screening Ari Aster in theatres again
And you came to mind
I saw another wedding with a Zuhair dress
The one that you liked
Niceties lie in the way I'm surprised that
You're no longer in my skin
Then I'm falling in the MRT
As I do
Thinking bout when we kissed behind
The bus stop at half-past two
Saying how you hated coffee
When you ate my tiramisu
Drip drop
Reading songs of Patroclus and you

So come on
Baby
Let me be your lie
I'll cook up a good dinner
I'll let you be the breadwinner

Come on
Baby
Let me be your lie
I'm not used to cleaning up but
I'll be your suburban wife
Your suburban wife

Put on my glasses so you could see
Through me better
Dried out your perfume on my jacket
Made of faux leather
I'm on the next page
Forgetting how your name tastes
Turning off the reminders
For your birthday
Then I'm screaming at your blank profile
Let me be
Downed the 20-dollar bottles of rose
From the duty-free
Never really crossed your mind
I only trickled past your feed
Left your hands in my chest
And called it fatality

So come on
Baby
Let me be your lie
I'll cook up a good dinner
I'll let you be the breadwinner

Come on
Baby
Let me be your lie
I'm not used to cleaning up but
I'll be your suburban wife

You said I'd meet your parents
Build the temples you'll inherit

You said if I'm better than his best
Then maybe I could take my rest

You said you'd take me to your orchard
If I'd obey your orders

Then you made me the bracelet
Your affection i could taste it

I'm grateful
For you shattering
Each time I say
I'm rebuilding

So come on
Baby
Let me be your lie
I'll make them a good dinner
I'll make sure that you're the winner

Come on
Baby
Let me in your life
I'm bleaching out the floors
I'll be a good suburban wife

Come on
Baby
Let me be your lie
"Let's keep living it
Just keep living it"
Your suburban wife
