[Verse 1] There's no box to tick for red, so I put down blue instead 'Cause it's closest there's to grey in the categories And the veins within the whites are a statement of demise Doe Eyes, you should stay at home licking batteries And I feel like I'm the host of a terrible game show And the guests on today's quiz are celebrities Won't respond to any clues, they're just cracking jokes for views But the answers to these questions mean everything [Chorus] I had a friend who had made a flag day Blood on their hands from shards of a heartbreak I have known friends to crack from love's weight Blossom in ribcage, until their backs break Oh, it won't get better That doesn't mean it's gonna get any worse You'll find a draft'a life-long love letter Signed to the man who will be driving your hearse [Verse 2] Salacia's in the depths, and if I avoid the nets Threaten, "I'll cuckold you, Neptune" for definite Meet between the dog and wolf, with the hoarfrost underfoot And I'll show you every fire in Delphinus [Refrain] A heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy That's why they call me the avocado, baby [Verse 3] May she who casts the first fist of dirt across the casket Have mourners lick the mud from her fingernails 'Tween the breadth'a your arms span, I was a renaissance man Books of lies stacked either side, you were my carrell [Chorus] I had a friend who had made a flag day Blood on their hands from shards of a heartbreak I have known friends to crack from love's weight Blossom in ribcage, until their backs break I had a friend who had made a flag day Blood on their hands from shards of a heartbreak I have known friends to crack from love's weight Blossom in ribcage, until their backs break Oh, it won't get better That doesn't mean it's gonna get any worse You'll find a draft'a life-long love letter Signed to the man who will be driving your hearse [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] I had a friend who had made a flag day Blood on their hands from shards of a heartbreak I have known friends to crack from love's weight Blossom in ribcage, until their backs break I had a friend who had made a flag day Blood on their hands from shards of a heartbreak I have known friends to crack from love's weight Blossom in ribcage, until their backs break [Refrain] A heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy That's why they call me the avocado, baby A heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy That's why they call me the avocado, baby A heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy That's why they call me the avocado, baby A heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy That's why they call me the avocado, baby

[Verse 1]
There's no box to tick for red, so I put down blue instead
'Cause it's closest there's to grey in the categories
And the veins within the whites are a statement of demise
Doe Eyes, you should stay at home licking batteries
And I feel like I'm the host of a terrible game show
And the guests on today's quiz are celebrities
Won't respond to any clues, they're just cracking jokes for views
But the answers to these questions mean everything
[Chorus]
I had a friend who had made a flag day
Blood on their hands from shards of a heartbreak
I have known friends to crack from love's weight
Blossom in ribcage, until their backs break
Oh, it won't get better
That doesn't mean it's gonna get any worse
You'll find a draft'a life-long love letter
Signed to the man who will be driving your hearse
[Verse 2]
Salacia's in the depths, and if I avoid the nets
Threaten, "I'll cuckold you, Neptune" for definite
Meet between the dog and wolf, with the hoarfrost underfoot
And I'll show you every fire in Delphinus
[Refrain]
A heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy
That's why they call me the avocado, baby
[Verse 3]
May she who casts the first fist of dirt across the casket
Have mourners lick the mud from her fingernails
'Tween the breadth'a your arms span, I was a renaissance man
Books of lies stacked either side, you were my carrell
[Chorus]
I had a friend who had made a flag day
Blood on their hands from shards of a heartbreak
I have known friends to crack from love's weight
Blossom in ribcage, until their backs break
I had a friend who had made a flag day
Blood on their hands from shards of a heartbreak
I have known friends to crack from love's weight
Blossom in ribcage, until their backs break
Oh, it won't get better
That doesn't mean it's gonna get any worse
You'll find a draft'a life-long love letter
Signed to the man who will be driving your hearse
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I had a friend who had made a flag day
Blood on their hands from shards of a heartbreak
I have known friends to crack from love's weight
Blossom in ribcage, until their backs break
I had a friend who had made a flag day
Blood on their hands from shards of a heartbreak
I have known friends to crack from love's weight
Blossom in ribcage, until their backs break
[Refrain]
A heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy
That's why they call me the avocado, baby
A heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy
That's why they call me the avocado, baby
A heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy
That's why they call me the avocado, baby
A heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy
That's why they call me the avocado, baby
