lyrics
Nice to meet you
I’m a cryptid
I don’t scare off many children
They just laugh it makes me livid
I’m not scary
Like I should be
Play with dolls when
No one’s looking
Dad is Bigfoot
Mom is Nessie
Can’t just say “I tried my best,” see
They're expecting so much more I
Couldn’t care less, but I still try
I’ll go hairless
Grow some more eyes
Nice to meet you
Nice to meet you
They see right through me
Can I blame them?
Till I scare ‘em, I stay nameless
Movies set the bar too high
I need a win before I die
I can’t begin to want to try
Yet I still do
Nice to meet you
Nice to meet you
Nice to meet you
At the naming ceremony
Everyone else, their lives were all forming
But maybe I’ll earn it
At the naming ceremony
(I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m…)
What if my parents loathe me? Disown me?
(Who am I? Oh, who do I think I am? Think I am?)
If I don't earn it
At the naming ceremony
(I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m…)
Should've been gifted, should've been perfect
(What’s my name?)
But I couldn't even learn it
At the naming ceremony
Nobody told me congratulations
I didn’t earn it
I don’t deserve it
Nice to meet you
I’m a cryptid
Chose my own name
Now I’m Mildred
It’s no “Mothman”
“Chupacabra”
But it’s mine and
I deserve it
It’s my name and
I deserve it
It's my own and
I deserve it
