Hole in the Bottom of My Brain Lyrics
There's a hole in the bottom of my brain
But when I party, the hole goes away
But the party I throw needs a picture to post
So the world knows the party was great
There's a hole in the bottom of my brain
But when you like me, the hole goes away
[Refrain]
So there's likes and hellos
On a post on my phone of a party I throw
In the hole in the bottom of my brain
(This is how you do it right)
[Chorus]
Heads up, I'm sorry to be that guy
Heads up, I'm lookin' to just get by
Let's just say, let's just say we're fine
[Verse 2]
There's a holе in the bottom of my brain
But when you love mе, the hole goes away
And the likes on my phone, yeah, they'll start to explode
If I go and explode in L.A.
There's a hole in the bottom of my brain
If I make money, the hole goes away
Now there's a thing made of gold in a home that I own
From a song that I wrote about likes and hellos
On a post on my phone of a party I throw
In the hole in the bottom of my brain
(This is how you do it right)
[Chorus]
Heads up, I'm sorry to be that guy
Heads up, I'm lookin' to just get by
Let's just say, let's just say we're fine
Do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Let's just say, let's just say we're fine
[Verse 3]
There's a hole in the bottom of my brain
When I spend money, the hole goes away
If I finally get clothes that are fancily sewn
I could finally be ready for fame
There's a hole in the bottom of your brain
When you get famous, the hole goes away
[Refrain]
Now there's coke on the nose of a bro I don't know
In a showroom of clothes that were fancily sewn
In a town that I loathe on a coast that gets stoked
On the thing made of gold in a home that I own
From a song that I wrote about likes and hellos
On a post on my phone of a party I throw
But I know I'm alone, no, I know I'm alone
In the hole in the bottom of my brain
