Mouthwash

This is my face, covered in freckles
With the occasional spot, and some veins
This is my body, covered in skin
And not all of it, you can see

And, this, is my mind, it goes over and over
The same old lines
And, this, is my brain, it's torturous analytical thoughts
Make me go insane

And I use mouthwash, sometimes I floss
I got a family, and I drink cups of tea
I've got nostalgic pavements, I've got familiar faces
I've got a mixed-up memory, and I've got favourite places

And I'm singing "oh oh" on a Friday night
And I'm singing "oh oh" on a Friday night
And I'm singing "oh oh" on a Friday night
And I hope everything's gonna be alright
And I'm singing "oh oh" on a Friday night
And I hope everything's gonna be alright

This is my face, I've got a thousand opinions
And not the time to explain
And this is my body
And no matter how you try and disable it
Yes I'll still be here

And, this, is my mind
And although you try to infringe
You cannot confine

And, this, is my brain
And even if you try and hold me back
There's nothing that you can gain

*repeat*
