Better

is it the fact
that it gets dark by 5
the reason I can't get out of bed?
flinging wildly from job to job
(I think about running away, a new town that'll fix it)
reading self help articles maybe
(this one'll say something different, just meditate more)
just get better
come on, just be better?!!
fucking crawl out of your sheets
you got to get up today
you'll be missed or
so they tell me
you got 12 hours of sleep
got to get up today
I'm no further along
than I was two years ago
with a cap and gown
balled up on the floor
when i work hard I'm too tired to do anything I like
(oh my God I'm a wreck, my carpet covered in clothes)
if I'm part time at the kitchen I'm too lost
just get better
come on, just be better?!!
fucking crawl out of your sheets
you got to get up today
you'll be missed or
so they tell me
you got 12 hours of sleep
so it's bad either way, don't think about it, don't think about it
so it's bad either way, don't think about it, don't think about it

Read Your Mind
02:46
|
|||
|
i don't wanna get over you
but that's the only thing left to do
joy in a bad point of view
happy to be in the wrong with you
cut my legs for you
tell myself it was for the feeling- smooth between the sheets
i stare myself down
pick my face apart and wonder how you'd see it
if i could read your mind
i could sleep at night
if i could read your mind
i could sleep at night

Laundry
02:55
|
|||
|
i got way too deep
how many times will i lose my shit
washed my sheets to distract me
i got way too lost
diving in because there's water, i
couldn't sleep even if you let me
i gave way too much
to someone with so much laundry up
and i almost did it for you
you got comfortable
or you got bored, i couldn't tell
so who's making your bed now?
way
too deep
for someone
so medium

Hate Me Too
02:16
|
|||
|
if i were you i'd hate me too
after all, i
kicked you out with little warning
after all, i
should have seen what i was playing with
(he said) "you should come with a warning"
it's looking bad for me
how many matches
i chew up and spit out
probably think too highly of myself
not a good look for me
think about the way you'll defile my name
if that's the way it ends, well
how many more times?
if i were you i'd hate me too

Peach Smoothie

thought of you under a peach smoothie sky
it was too early to see it right
and I know it's dumb 'cause you're over it
I watched our rivers of words
turn to blocks of ice
was it ever summer?
the joy I invented
the bliss I'm sure I hallucinated
was it ever summer?
the joy I invented
the bliss I'm sure I hallucinated
the joy I invented
the bliss I'm sure I hallucinated
the joy I invented
the bliss I'm sure I hallucinated
we all wear pain, right?
why does it feel so wrong to feel anything at all
fuck me for getting involved
is 5am night?
the sunrise doesn't look so good when i'm stupid missing you
fuck me for getting involved

Stay Up, All Night
01:42
|
|||
|
you were always so kind
and i couldn't get you off of my-
tempering my expectations
i'm trying but i still
stay up all night
plan what i'll say
for all i know you've found another one
and when you left me it
was about me
yeah i'm the worst
after all where have you been the past 6 months?
lay up all night
plan what i'll say
after all where have you been? you had my number

Alien
01:33
|
|||
|
i feel like an alien
in my black clothes and my white hair made at home
in a town that doesn't know me
i could be a friend of yours
in my dark hole and a good head full of jokes
you'd be lucky to know me
or so i tell myself
to the mirror sometimes
pulling my skin off about it
illusion of scarcity
i've been holding on to this whole time
"nobody here really likes me"

Logout
02:29
|
|||
|
i'd like to log out
and be sitting just stuck in my room just stuck
you'll beat me out
foam in my mouth just sitting, just stuck

Shelter Me
04:48
|
|||
|
you never shelter me
so i'll be the first to leave
promise to keep the peace
but you never shelter me
you never shelter me
(when i need it)
so i'll be the first to leave
(when i'm needed )
promise to keep the peace
(can you keep it)
but you never shelter me
one thing you could always do is keep me waiting
i don't like it slow, isn't it hard to play it cool? i hate it!
you pull on my sleeves but you dont know me yet
i see our kids, i see you walking the first time we fight
one missing text and i'll ask everyone if you're worth it, you gonna show up?
you never shelter me
so i'll be the first to leave
promise to keep the peace
but you never shelter me
you never shelter me
(when i need it)
so i'll be the first to leave
(when i'm needed )
promise to keep the peace
(can you keep it)
but you never shelter me
I give too much
the weight changed
I give too much
(she’s hard to bear)

Backseat
05:22
|
|||
|
i've got no control over my life
or any of my choices
in the backseat of my own brain
i'm fucked up at the party in theory
it never really ends the
way i want
self driving cars are the future
(in the backseat)
head outside for a smoke
yeah that's glamour, that's what i want
for myself, but my church girl habits wont allow it
i'm 18 in a widow's body
making good choices
in the backseat of my own brain
what we did back here then
keep your hands on my arms
tell me i'm still young
that's the plan, on the line
staring down 23
wore my sleep mask to work
only been here a year
50 hands on my shoulder assure me i'm still young, my god
keep swimming forward - did you know that sharks don't - have to
