Ethel Cain - American Teenager (Extended Version) Lyrics : Grew up under yellow light on the street Putting too much faith in the make believe Another high-school football team The neighbor's brother came home in a box But he wanted to go so maybe it was his fault Another red heart taken by the American dream And I feel it there In the middle of the night When the lights go out And I'm all alone again Say what you want But say it like you mean it with your fists for once A long, cold war with your kids at the front Just give it one more day then you're done I do what I want Crying in the bleachers and I said it was fun I don't need anything from anyone It's just not my year But I'm all good out here Grew up online as a fighter Believe in that ride and you'll die here Thinking it's still the same as it always was But I cried for nights and days and if there is a woman I'II make a way Pledge my allegiance to freedom through violence And I feel it there In the middle of the night When the lights go out But I'm still standing here Say what you want But say it like you mean it with your fists for once A long, cold war with your kids at the front Just give it one more day then you're done I do what I want Crying in the bleachers and I said it was fun I don't need anything from anyone It's just not my year But I'm all good out here Living on my faith to the bad news Only being good 'cause I have to If these walls could talk they'd tell me to leave So young, so much to fear Are you there God? Save me I hate it here Just don’t forget about me And I feel it there In the middle of the night When the lights go out But I'm still standing here Say what you want But say it like you mean it with your fists for once A long, cold war with your kids at the front Just give it one more day then you're done I do what I want Crying in the bleachers and I said it was fun I don't need anything from anyone It's just not my year But I'm all good out here Sunday morning Hands over my knees in a room full of faces I'm sorry if I seemed off, but I was probably wasted (wasted) And didn't feel so good (feel so good) Head full of whiskey but I always deliver Jesus, if you're listening, let me handle my liquor And Jesus, if you're there Why do I feel alone in this room with you? And I feel it there In the middle of the night When the lights go out But I'm still standing here Say what you want But say it like you mean it with your fists for once A long, cold war with your kids at the front Just give it one more day then you're done I do what I want Crying in the bleachers and I said it was fun I don't need anything from anyone It's just not my year But I'm all good out here Say what you want But say it like you mean it with your fists for once A long, cold war with your kids at the front Just give it one more day then you're done I do it for my daddy and I do it for Dale I'm doing what I want and damn, I'm doing it well For me For me For me For me

good god the end is so fucking good.

why are the comments so how they should be

you saved my life entirely

Are you there, God? Save me, I hate it here Just please don't forget about me Or Are you there, God? Save me, I hayden here Just please don't forget about me

Ethel: *taking her dying breaths* Isaiah: I love you

The field scene looks like Andrew Wyeth’s painting Christina’s World…

i could never get tired of the official version but this one... this one connects me with god... it turns me into god...

How do I get this on streaming platforms omg

3:31 oh my fucking god there has never been anything like that ever jesus FUCK i’m actually ascending

2:42-3:07 has me levitating above my mattress praying to god.

Hey I know you said you arent great at splitting audio but can you post just the filtered instrumental for this? I’m trying ti learn this song on the piano and it would really help

How am I so late to this?? the SPANISH PARTTTT!?

Even with the added lines, my favorite part has to be the closing music. I wish it was on the official track :( it’s so… sad but nostalgic? Longing?

I need this version on Spotify it’s not even funny

this is insane

Omg i love came here

I wish I could consume this song

this feels like being carried into the house from the car as a small child . my heart

this genuinely put me to sleep in the most soothing way .

In your basement, I grow cold Thinking back to what I was always told "Don't talk to strangers or you might fall in love" Freezer bride, your sweet divine You devour like smoked bovine hide How funny, I never considered myself tough You're so handsome, walking over to me now I tried to be good, am I no good? Am I no good? Am I no good? With my memory restricted to a Polaroid in evidence I just wanted to be yours, can I be yours? Can I be yours? Just tell me I'm yours If I'm turning in your stomach and I'm making you feel sick When my mother sees me on the side Of a milk carton in Winn-Dixie's dairy aisle She'll cry and wait up for me We'll make love in your attic all night Euphoric in some strange delight I'm happier here 'cause he told me I should be, oh You're so handsome when I'm all over your mouth (When I'm all over your mouth, when I'm all over your mouth) I tried to be good, am I no good? Am I no good? Am I no good? With my memory restricted to a Polaroid in evidence I just wanted to be yours, can I be yours? Can I be yours? Just tell me I'm yours If I'm turning in your stomach and I'm making you feel sick Am I making you feel sick? Oh Am I making you feel sick? Am I making you feel, am I making you feel sick? Am I making you feel, am I making you feel sick? Am I making you feel sick? Am I making you feel sick? Am I making you feel sick? No, oh Found you just to tell you that I made it real far And that I never blamed you for loving me the way that you did While you were torn apart I would still wait with you there Don't think about it too hard or you'll never sleep a wink at night again Don't worry 'bout me and these green eyes Mama, just know that I love you (I do) And I'll see you when you get here

desperately need a slowed version of this version like to me this is the original song lmao 😭

3:31 oh my lordylord

This made me sit up straight at work WHEWWWW lord

my fave song this year

This version feels so much sadder

Does anyone have the full version of the early stage demo where she just mumbles and it doesn’t have any lyrics yet

What... where is this from?

The legend

can you please make a mashup of unpunishable and gibson girl?

That outro had me in tears. It feels like a word of encouragement and validation after being allowed to air your fears and frustrations.

IS THAT AI??

THANK YOU SO MUCH.
