[Verse 1] Screen glow on my ceiling Three dots, heart-stopping feeling You type, delete, type again I’m a puppet on a string again Say something cruel so I can hang up Say something sweet so I can drink it from a paper cup You’re a ghost in my hand I don’t understand Why I’m waiting [Pre-Chorus] This is not a love song This is a dial tone This is my teeth on the wire Tell me what you require [Chorus] Sext me your worst line Make it ugly, make it mine I want the static in your throat Every word you’d never quote Sext me your midnight I’m not afraid of the light Just spell it out in capital letters Make it hurt, make it better [Verse 2] You say “come over” like a command Like I’m supposed to understand What happens when the screen goes black? Do I get my skin back? I’m not your after-school special I’m the channel you don’t tell your friends about So shout Or shut your mouth [Pre-Chorus] This is not a love song This is a thrown phone This is my teeth on the wire Tell me what you require [Chorus] Sext me your worst line Make it ugly, make it mine I want the static in your throat Every word you’d never quote Sext me your midnight I’m not afraid of the light Just spell it out in capital letters Make it hurt, make it better [Bridge – synth drops out, only a pulsing bass and spoken/shouted vocals] I’m not asking for forever I’m asking for right now Say it like you mean it Or don’t say it at all I’m not your screen I’m not your wallpaper I’m the dial tone Pick up [Breakdown – distorted synth, drum machine glitching] Sext me Sext me Sext me like I’m already there Like you don’t care Like your parents are upstairs Like we’re both too young to be this aware Sext me [Final Chorus – full force, vocals strained] Sext me your worst line Make it ugly, make it mine I want the static in your throat Every word you’d never quote Sext me your midnight I’m not afraid of the light Just spell it out in capital letters Make it hurt— [cut to silence, then a single synth note fading out]
