Lyrics:
pull the plug in September
i don’t want to die in June
i’d like to start planning my funeral i’ve got work to do

pull the plug, make it painless
i don’t want a violent end
don’t say that you’ll always love me cause you know i’d bleed myself dry for
you over and over again

doomsday is close at hand
i’ll book the marching band
to play as you speak
i’ll feel like throwing up
you’ll sit and stare like
a goddamn machine
i’d like to plan out my part in this but you’re such a narcissist you’ll probably
do it next week
i don’t get a choice in the matter why would i? it’s only the death of me only the
death of me

pull the plug but be careful
i don’t wanna die too soon
i think there’s good in you somewhere i’ll hang on ‘til the chaos is through

doomsday is close at hand
i’ll book the marching band
to play as you speak
i’ll feel like throwing up you’ll sit and stare like
a goddamn machine
i’d like to plan out my part in this but you’re such a narcissist you’ll probably
do it next week i don’t get a choice in the matter why would i? it’s only

the death of me was so quiet
no friends and family allowed
only my murderer, you
and the priest who told you to go to hell and the funny thing is i would’ve
married you if you’d have stuck around
i feel more free than i have in years
six feet in the ground

doomsday is close at hand
i booked the marching band
to play as you speak
i feel like throwing up
you sit and stare like a goddamn machine
i’d have liked to plan out my part in this but you’re such a narcissist
that you did it on halloween
i had no choice in the matter
why would i? it’s only the death of me

    whoever was in charge of the music for the show school spirts know they put the most perfect song over the final scene. they did their big one. the writing the final scene and this song came together as one of the best combinations like ever.
  • @occamseraser
    I'm a guitar teacher and a student just asked me to show them how to play this track tonight. From a music analysis viewpoint, man, so so much cool stuff in it.
  • @doddleoddle

  • @BriGuyThompson1
    That melody of "I don't wanna die in June" right at the beginning gives me chills every damn time I listen to it. Soooo good!
  • @jimmydriveway
    My God, those bone dry vocals are so refreshing. I can hear every characteristic of her voice. The melody is amazing and that break down section is haunting.
  • @kristamcleod8616
    This song is featured in the last episode of School Spirits and the first time I heard it I was obsessed!!!!!
  • @ARTV-
    I don't say this lightly: doomsday is a fucking masterpiece. Thank the algorithm gods for recommending this to me, incredible talent & such a genuinely compelling song lyrically/musically. I've listened to this 20 times in the past 2 days and I seriously never do that.
  • I heard this song for the first time on School Spirits, and it's such a perfect choice of song! It's been on repeat in my ears all day.
  • @LizzyMcAlpine
    this music video is my baby i can’t believe it’s out ….. what do you guys think of it ??????
  • @sadmoonbun
    Just heard this from school spirits and fell in love immediately. There was so much happening but the music took most of my attention. Your voice is amazing. New fav ong
  • @TheFoldMusic
    School Spirits just gave this song a MIGHTY lift.
  • @madu557
    "i’d have liked to plan out my part in this but you’re such a narcissist that you did it on halloween" THIS PART, THE LYRIC CHANGE OMG THIS IS AWESOME
  • @jesiagustin4812
    i cant wait to tell everyone that i am a fan of her since she was just starting
  • Here from the Netflix tv show “school spirits” , they did they thing with this one !
  • @Cubfan2240
    School Spirits brought me. Bring on season 2!
  • @RyanBeard
    You’re probably my favorite artist right now, and this was such a massive step up! Can’t wait to see what you do next!
  • @SandraIris
    The combination of intimate moments and epic cinematic parts makes the song stand out even more. Good job <3
  • @snorklewacker
    This song is such a kick in the gut. I could go on and on and on about how perfectly it captures those emotions, the atmosphere, the helpless sadness and anger at someone else’s actions…but instead I’ll just go listen to it again and enjoy how it makes me feel all the feels all over again.
