fun cute song about erasers with cute eraser cover art pink yes pills slay

lyrics

[Verse 1]
You and I will be together when we shed our memory
I won't wear an orange sweater when I get it off of me
When it's as it someday is it always will have been the case
When your ever-searching finger finds the button marked "Erase"
Finger find the button marked "Erase"
Like a deep-sea diver
Falling into a mermaid's embrace

[Chorus]
Put one box on the sidewalk
Then you return with the next and the first one's gone
Everyone gets on the bus out of town
And the lights start going out one by one

[Post-Chorus]
Button marked "Erase"
When darlings must be murdered
When your heartbreak overwhelms your heart

[Verse 2]
Think of this as solving problems that should never have occurred
Please don't call it strangulation
That is such an ugly word
Press Erase, ignore the shrill alarms
See the way the deep-sea diver
Falls into the mermaid's arms


[Chorus]
Put one box on the sidewalk
Then you return with the next and the first one's gone
Everyone gets on the bus out of town
And the lights start going out one by one

[Post-Chorus]
Button marked "Erase"
When darlings must be murdered
When your heartbreak overrides the very
Thing you can not face
The skeletons that won't stay down
The mercy kill that can't be drowned

[Verse 3]
Put, box, sidewalk
Then, return, next, first one gone
Everyone, on, bus, out
Lights, out, one by one
Finger find the button marked erase
Like a deep sea diver falling into a mermaid's embrace

[Chorus]
Put one box on the sidewalk
Then you return with the next and the first one's gone
Everyone gets on the bus out of town
And the lights start going out one by one
