[Verse 1] Wyatt in a clip-on tie Plastic grass stuck to his socks Grandma’s got that church day smile Carving ham like blood on rocks Brown gravy in a boiling lake Marshmallow eyes on mutant yams He hears the prayers all bend and break Feels his heartbeat slam [Chorus] Easter dinner’s gonna kill me Wyatt choking on the shine All these smiling painted faces Feel like teeth along a spine Easter dinner’s gonna kill me Every platter Every stare If I bolt out through the kitchen Will the rabbits even care? (yeah) [Verse 2] Crystal bowl of neon eggs Staring back with sugar skins Uncle says “It’s just a meal” Wyatt hears the ceiling spin Auntie’s perfume burns his throat Knives keep screaming on the plates Mashed potatoes slump like ghosts Waiting at the gate [Chorus] Easter dinner’s gonna kill me Wyatt shaking in his chair Every “how’s your year in school Kid?” Feels like fingers in his hair Easter dinner’s gonna kill me Voices buzzing like a hive If this is what “together” means How’s he s’posed to stay alive? (hey) [Bridge] He counts the peas He counts his breaths He counts each beat Like borrowed deaths Fork drops Room stops He laughs too loud Then screams [Chorus] Easter dinner’s gonna kill me Wyatt rising from the feast Paper crown slides off his head Like he’s shedding off a beast Easter dinner’s gonna kill me But he stands there Stained and small Says “I’m not your perfect picture” Lets the jelly salad fall [Chorus] Easter dinner’s gonna kill me Wyatt marching down the hall Honey-glazed and holy chaos Dripping off the floral wall Easter dinner’s gonna kill me But he kicks that swinging door Leaves the lamb and sugared crosses Clanging on the floor (yeah)
