[Verse 1]
I'll let you think you get the picture
Bitch, you don’t know how good I treat ya
Shake it off, this pride and glory
You dig up so many stories
Oh, you're so under the thumb
Four fingers from a knuckle sandwich
Try my blood, it's just a starter
No one tastes like me, yeah

[Chorus]
I’m pretty like a car crash, ugly as a lullaby
You really wanna try it?
Experiment on me, experiment on me
Experiment on me, experiment on me

[Verse 2]
Girl, I've been way too much to handle
Bitch, I've never been a good example
"Seen, not heard" is what they told me
I look too good to be this lonely
Oh, grab this loaded gun
So hopeless, but I'm still romantic
Bloodstained mouth, gonna blow a kiss
And I bet it tastes like me, yeah

[Chorus]
I'm pretty like a car crash, ugly as a lullaby
You really wanna try it?
Experiment on me, experiment on me
Experiment on me, experiment on me

[Bridge]
Lock up your sons, make way for the daughters
You be the lamb and we'll be the slaughter
You burnt the witches, now you're defenseless
Who needs a Y with this many Xs?
Lock up your sons, make way for the daughters
You be the lamb and we'll be the slaughter
You burnt the witches, now you’re defenseless
Who needs a Y with this many Xs?
Lock up your sons, make way for the daughters
You be the lamb and we’ll be the slaughter
You burnt the witches, now you're defenseless
Who needs a Y with this many Xs?
Who needs a Y with this many Xs?
Who needs a Y with this many Xs?
Who needs a Y with this many Xs?
Who needs a Y with this many Xs?

[Chorus]
I’m pretty like a car crash, ugly as a lullaby
You really wanna try it?
Experiment on me, experiment on me
Experiment on me, experiment on me

[Outro]
Experiment on me
Experiment on me
Experiment on me

Halsey is the stage name of New Jersey singer Ashley Nicolette Frangipane. It is an anagram of her first name and reference to the Halsey Street subway stop and street in Brooklyn where she used to live. The bio on her website

I am Halsey. I will never be anything but honest. I write songs about sex and being sad."

Halsey was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when she was 17. This has greatly influenced her creative process from the start of her career. Songs like “Control” and “Gasoline” explicitly delve into her psychological and emotional battles. Manic, Halsey’s third album and arguably her rawest and most emotionally vulnerable, was written in a fully manic state rather than a depressive one.
