Lyrics
**Verse 1**
*Another pep talk from my cat poster on the wall—*
*“You’re a star!” Yeah, cool, but my WiFi’s down, that’s all.*
*My therapist says, “Breathe in, count to four!”*
*I’m counting pizza rolls melting on the floor.*
**Pre-Chorus**
*My dreams? Oh, they’re vintage—collecting dust on a shelf.*
*But hey, at least my student loans are “building character” by myself!*
**Chorus**
*I’m thriving like a houseplant that you forgot to kill!*
*(Water me with caffeine, let’s see if I survive still.)*
*My résumé’s a meme, my rent’s a horror flick—*
*But I’ll scream, “I’m fine!” till the chorus hits. **YEAH, PICK IT UP!***
**Verse 2**
*My ex said, “Find yourself!” So I’m lost in Target aisle five,*
*Buying scented candles to pretend I’m alive.*
*My band’s got three chords and a name we can’t spell—*
*“Existential Crisp™” – we’ll sell out (to our friends in Hell).*
**Pre-Chorus**
*My “hustle”? Midnight scrolling through TikTok cringe,*
*But I’ll call it “research” while my productivity dies, thanks, Bing!*
**Chorus**
*I’m thriving like a houseplant that you forgot to kill!*
*(Water me with caffeine, let’s see if I survive still.)*
*My résumé’s a meme, my rent’s a horror flick—*
*But I’ll scream, “I’m fine!” till the chorus hits. **YEAH, SHRED IT!***
**Bridge**
*Let’s start a cult! (But make it gluten-free.)*
*I’ll preach “self-care” while I binge *Riverdale* S3.*
*We’ll “adult” so hard—mismatched socks, unpaid bills—*
*Toast with expired kombucha: “Here’s to our 5-year plans… *chugs*”*
**Outro**
*(Chorus x2, shouted over power chords and a pizza box smashing a lamp)*
*I’m thriving like a houseplant… (Wild guess: I’m not.)*
*But the curtain’s closin’, so…* ***middle finger to the plot!***
Verse 3
I’m thriving like a houseplant… (Wild guess: I’m not.)
But the curtain’s closin’, so… middle finger to the plot!
The universe said, “Manifest!” but all I did was yawn,
My spirit guide just texted back: “lol, you’re on your own.”
My horoscope’s a tragedy, my fate’s a loading screen,
Manifesting? Sure—if that just means ignoring everything!
I’m thriving like a houseplant that you forgot to kill!
(Water me with caffeine, let’s see if I survive still.)
My résumé’s a meme, my rent’s a horror flick—
But I’ll scream, “I’m fine!” till the chorus hits—
(Instruments drop out—just raw vocals:)
“I’M FIIIIIIINE—!!!” (Pause…) BUT CLEARLY NOT!
outro
“Somebody cue the credits—my budget’s running out!”
“Somebody call my therapist—oh wait, I BLOCKED THEM NOW!”
“Somebody tell my landlord that exposure don’t pay rent!”
“Somebody tell my brain to SHUT UP—oh, nevermind, it went!”
