Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Left last week’s lunch In the backseat heat Now the lid’s gone cloudy And the box smells sweet (too sweet) Red ring halo Round the edge like shame Scrub till my thumbs go numb Still stuck on my name [Chorus] Why won’t you let me go? You cling to me like I’m your home These Tupperware stains Know all my mistakes Hot water Cold soul But you still won’t fade Oh These Tupperware stains Outlive every phase I fake [Verse 2] Mom said “bleach it Baking soda Prayer” I tried every trick I found on a forum somewhere Late night kitchen light Buzzing over the sink I’m scrubbing at my past While the dishes clink (clink) [Chorus] Why won’t you let me go? You cling to me like I’m your home These Tupperware stains Know all my mistakes Hot water Cold soul But you still won’t fade Oh These Tupperware stains Outlive every phase I fake [Bridge] Maybe I’m just Made the same Porous heart Soaks up blame Throw it out Or keep it here? [Band drops] Same old box Same old fear (hey!) [Chorus] Why won’t you let me go? You cling to me like I’m your home These Tupperware stains Know all my mistakes Hot water Cold soul But you still won’t fade Oh These Tupperware stains Yeah These Tupperware stains Outlive every phase I fake

rock, Loose indie rock band feel like Cage The Elephant, male vocals. Crunchy, slightly detuned guitars over a swung mid-tempo groove, roomy drums with trashy overheads. Verses stay tight and spoken-sung, bass dry and close; choruses explode with doubled vocals, fuzz guitar, and shout-along hooks. Brief noisy guitar break before the last chorus, everything ending on a messy, choked chord., clean, indie rock
