“I was thinking about how your birthday begins to hold a sense of sadness as you get older, how the unknown of the future can be so paralyzing. That led me to create a story of a boy at his eighth birthday party,” (…) “He’s sitting there looking at his cake on what is supposed to be the best day of his life, but something feels wrong. Everyone is looking at him as though the cake is going to eat him instead. He later discovers that his parents are getting divorced, something everyone else in the room already knew. From then on he stops believing in the magic held in a birthday candle.” - Addie Sartino

♪ lyrics ♪ 

Eight years old to the day, you blew your candles off the
cake, wishing too hard for them to stay, you burnt the house down.
She held the match, he held her face, you learned to hate your
birthday. Calling her a bitch, despite your wish, they had to
separate. And the room sings. And it sounds like leaving home.
And the room sings, “We know something you don’t.” Now he’s
quite the stand up guy. He’s stood you up least twelve times.
And when he finally does arrive, he brings his new wife. The
family shrink from second floor, the one he claimed he couldn’t
afford. Your mother cries, clings to the floor. You knock his
lights out. And the room sings. And it sounds like leaving
home. And the room sings, “We know something you don’t.” And
the room sings. And it sounds like leaving home. 
The room sings, “We know something you don’t”. The room sings, 
and it sounds like there’s no love.
