My birthday was so bittersweet
My twenties slipped away from me
I couldn’t face it much to my dismay
Lonely as lonely can be
With all of my friends surrounding me
I couldn’t think of anything to say
It was the best night of my life
No thanks to you
It was the first time I had fun
Not needing no one
Convinced that they all hated me
For something that happened last week
I showed up but I didn’t want to stay
It was the best night of my life
No thanks to you
It was the first time I had fun
Not needing no one
And the bad thoughts when they come
Don’t mean as much
It was the first time I had fun
Not needing no one.
Belaver’s “Trash” builds from hushed verses to a big, booming crescendo of a chorus, with lyrics that praise finding beauty in darkness. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 14, 2018
