Pop Lyrics

Spotify called my aura energy & yearning.

If you can both dance & cry to a song, it's probably up my alley.

Two years & 3,000 miles later, I remember the way the air thickened when you first looked through my profile.

When we were courting, we bonded over ANTI & In Rainbows.

Then you had me.

Chewed my music like it left a bad taste in your mouth.

Now when friends tie me to pop, it registers as an attack.

I accidentally let Ariana Grande make my top five artists,

& she's only the beginning.

You'll find me yelling it's Charli, baby! when Charli XCX comes on

& I'll never outgrow Taylor Swift.

People are surprised I love her

Until I remind them I was socialized as a white girl in the suburbs.

There's an astrologer who says Stevie Nicks' Venus square Neptune placement

Makes all her songs hexes that haunt her ex-boyfriends.

I don't know Taylor's chart well, but I know when a man hurt her

She had millions singing Dear John.

You remember when you cut off all your hair & I kept some of it?

A joke.

I found it six months after I left.

The witches were upset when I threw it away.

Hair is a jackpot, almost as good as blood for hexes.

I didn't come here to scare you.

I'm just saying,

I would have felt less alone if half the world joined me

In screaming your name.
