[Chorus]
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead

[Verse 1]
You lock me out, you lock me in
You smote my soul and I can't win
It's over now before it begins
Just suck this salt to cleanse your sins
If I can't speak about the things
That make me sad, then I am weak
But I'm not strong either
I'm just a kid with a cold pretendin' it's a fever

[Chorus]
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead

[Verse 2]
The mystery is not that hard
When you can read between the bars
Tongue trip's over your fickle cheek
With the lies you tell and the shit you speak
I think you should clean your teeth
With guilty truths and liar's bleach
Adjusting the lighting
So I can't see the scars on your face fucking hiding

[Bridge]
They find it hard to love you, no matter what they say
They're tryna get above you while laughing in your face
They find it hard to love you, no matter what they say
They're tryna get above you while laughing in your face

[Chorus]
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead

YUNGBLUD

Dominic Richard Harrison, who performs under the moniker of YUNGBLUD, fuses alternative rock and hip-hop while speaking up on important topics like mental illness and politics. Hailing from Doncaster, England, he cites acts like Arctic Monkeys and Eminem as influences.

Harrison grew up surrounded by music, and in several interviews he mentions that his parents placed a ukulele in his hands within days of his birth. His father owned a guitar shop and his grandfather was part of T. Rex.

Before becoming YUNGBLUD, he performed as Harrison, releasing songs like “Miss Those Days” with an upbeat acoustic flare. In his late teens, Harrison was approached by a record label, and conformed to their expectations hoping for a successful career, but he left the label in favor of making the music he truly wanted to create.
