i woke up that morning bruised by the touch of your lips dust hit the ground when i set off when you said i couldn’t feel my hands the taste of my spit is setting in and i’m realizing how mean you really can be your words felt just like bullets to my knees just let me bleed out please just let me bleed out please the taste of my spit is finally setting in and it’s starting to hit me how mean you really can be your words felt like bullets to my knees just let me bleed out please i don’t want to hear another apology your words hurt worse when i, i know you’re being honest so come on and let me know how all the time we spent this summer really was just nothing to you oh come on how could you tell me on how my looks will never pass as the women i wanna be go on keep burning me down down sorry doesn’t work on me when you’ve used the same old lines about 20 times now in a row i can tell you’re full of it you see me how you want to and i’m getting pretty used to people like you being in my life for only months at a time it’s so hard to say goodbye but i can do it effortlessly with no try you ruined it you ruined it you ruined it you ruined it

My eyes won't open all the way I see you over there and practice what I'd say The color's gone from this deadpan face My arms outstretched don't run away If I wasn't a zombie I would ask you out for coffee We could make up silly stories 'bout the strangers When I open up my mouth to speak Nothin clever comes out of me And I fear that I am stuck this way forever I drag my feet pick up the pace I can hear your heart as it starts to race Would you slow down I don't like the chase My arms outstretched don't run away If I wasn't a zombie I would ask you out for ice cream We could take our time sampling every flavor When I open up my mouth to speak Nothing sweet comes out of me And I fear that I am stuck this way forever You'll think I'm emotionally vacant And I won't communicate well How can I prove to you I'm not completely lifeless Just a pearl trapped in a shell If I wasn't a zombie we could watch a scary movie If I get nervous could I hide out in your shoulder When I open up my mouth to scream You won't hear a peep outta me And I fear that I am stuck this way forever So I'll keep a safe distance away I'll keep a safe distance away My outstretched Don't run

Cut me on your scripture and ill be your witness Just because I never came running did I dissent Forever afters quite a long time to hold a grudge Push the rock up the hill but it'll never budge Well who knew that I could be so vain I'll give you something to rethink I'm not worthy of your praise I'm not even myself most days Cut me on your passage and ill never question it Even when its hard to see it everything happens for a reason Is it wrong to ask that you never beat this sickness I only want whats best for you not even thinking of myself Well who knew that I could be so vain Ill give you something to rethink I'm not worthy of your praise im not even myself most days You only wanted the best me Ill never fall down at your feet

Look what they've done to my song, Ma Look what they've done to my song Well, it's the only thing I could do half right And it's turning out all wrong, Ma Look what they've done to my song Look what they've done to my brain, Ma Look what they've done to my brain Yeah, they picked it like a chicken bone And they think I'm half insane, Ma Look what they've done to my brain Wish I could find a book to live in Wish I could find a good book Cause if I could find a real good book I'd never have to come out and look at Look what they've done to my song Na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na And if people are buying tears We'll be rich someday, Ma Look what they've done to my brain But maybe I'll be alright, Ma Yeah maybe I'll be okay Cause if the people are buying tears Then we'll be rich someday, Ma Look what they've done to my song Look what they've done to my soul, Ma Look what they've done to my soul Yeah, they tied it in a plastic bag And they shook me upside down, Ma Look what they've done to my song

Too late to turn away from who i’ve become Standing on the precipice of my new decline All the streets are cracking now under our footsteps I don’t want to let you down before I let down myself These nights are full of empty promises of better days to come Until I fall back into the clockwork of every solitary cry for help That leaves me broken in two, drifting through the fallout of my expectations As the wind shifts for another season of disquiet How many times will I know that you mean well And still try to drown you out without a second thought We share a severance with the pieces of Ourselves that kept us from spiralling into the end This forest will burn into scattering signatures you left Everything turning to ashes while we don’t care at all One by one the signs lead us astray and the stars looked down with indifference I will swim right through this panel of glass you’ve built up to keep out these conflicts But there’s more of me than I could bear to say I couldn’t tell you how to feel any different now I will linger through the end of the day as you lose yourself again In the morning you’ll be fine and we’ll do it all over

What'd I do to deserve this? What'd I do to deserve this? What'd I do to deserve this? What'd I do to deserve this? And I miss driving 5 hours to Bloomington, Indiana I miss everyone who's ever been nice to me And I miss being able to fall asleep at a reasonable hour I miss everyone and everything So what the heck even is "normalcy"? It's something that's never felt true to me When everything I've ever done is strange and different Why is all of this affecting me? What'd I do to deserve this? What'd I do to deserve this? What'd I do to deserve this? What'd I do to deserve this? And I miss shoving strangers in basements in other states And I miss saying I love you to my friends' beautiful faces I miss drinking shitty coffee at a local diner I miss everyone and everything So what the heck even is "normalcy"? It's something that's never felt true to me When everything I've ever done is strange and different Why is all of this affecting me?

I'm on my time with everyone I have very bad posture Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea Distill the life that's inside of me Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea I'm anemic royalty Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld So I can sigh eternally I'm so tired I can't sleep I'm a liar and a thief Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea I'm anemic royalty I'm on warm milk and laxatives Cherry-flavored antacids Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea Distill the life that's inside of me Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea I'm anemic royalty

Cruising down the avenue, top speed 3 miles per hour My body is cold but my hands are kept warm My life spills over You don’t know I’m coming I’m coming and you don’t know At all Call me some other time, I know you’re spending one more night alone Do you wanna do something? Do you something with me? Do you wanna do something? Do you something with me? Where are you right now? I wish I could just make contact Sitting on my couch, feeling lonely in my home I talk to your sister She knows I’m coming I’m coming and you don’t know At all Call me some other time, I know you’re spending one more night alone Do you wanna do something? Do you something with me? Do you wanna do something? Do you something with me? Knock on your door but no is home At all Call me some other time, I know you’re spending one more night alone Do you wanna do something? Do you something with me? Do you wanna do something? Do you something with me? Call me some other time, I’m waiting for another night alone Do you wanna do something? Do you wanna do something with me? Do you wanna do something? Because I wanna do something with you

You should have been able to tell right then I can't stop when I know what's best The layers were peeling in yellow paint piles My room became a dusty mess. Who knew about you? I don't think I knew The summer rain ruined the wall. None of my bedroom furniture warned me About you or rainstorms at all. Bronxy Marie, you're down by the river But how can your bronx garden grow? With songwriters singing under your trees Like vegetables all in a row. Can you tell me which one of us is living The correct American dream? It seems that you cannot even discern A smocking stitch from a straight seam. Either way, it's a fabrication A quilt that your grandmommy stitched She's sewing the states onto the outlined nation A comfort that no one sleeps with. The last bitch was born when the first one was done. Because of this action the battle was won. The last bitch is sure that the first one is numb. She's wailing and moaning from under my thumb. I'm squeezing a flashlight in between my teeth It's because of this that I'm able to see Your bitch is a devil with an angel's grin She's waiting for you on the head of a pin. Bronxy Marie, you're down by the river But how can your bronx garden grow? With songwriters singing under your trees Like vegetables all in a row credits

Can you see me, I’m standing right here Do you hear my plea, did it disappear I’m trying to tell you, is it going through As I try to escape from this one way mirror Can you see me, through the looking glass Are you finally free, free from the impasse I’ve tried to tell you, what I hope’ll go through It’s okay to become one, we can’t live without

Meet me in the garden We can talk about the rain And how it never fails to make us feel Like frogs stuck in a drain Meet me in the park We can climb all of the trees Forget about our reputations Ignore that we’re in our 20s Cause I just wanna be a kid again Small and free and having no regrets I just wanna be a kid again Cause kids don’t have to deal with this But I’m stuck at 22 Waiting for a call from you Longing to escape this zoo Bring me back, I hate these rules I’m sinking and I’m drowning I’m clogging up the pipes I’m waiting for an Opportunity to get this right So meet me in the world I will find a way to fight Past all the demons and the goblins That are haunting up my night Cause I just wanna be a kid again Sheltered, babied aching for what’s next I just wanna be a kid again Kids don’t have to live through this But I’m stuck at 22 Waiting for a call from you Longing to escape this zoo Bring me back, I hate these rules I’m sinking and I’m drowning I’m clogging up the pipes I’m waiting for an Opportunity to get this right So meet me anywhere And I’ll find a way to be Someone stupid, someone different Someone anyone but me Cause I have found myself believing in destiny And I have caught myself Tugging on a red string And I can’t help myself When I see the way you look at me Cause I wish I could be just 10% of what you need But I just wanna be a kid again Gross and plotting pettiest revenge I just wanna be a kid again Life feels like I’m trapped in a ditch But I’m stuck at 22 Waiting for a call from you Longing to escape this zoo Bring me back, I hate these rules I’m sinking and I’m drowning I’m clogging up the pipes I’m waiting for an Opportunity to get this right So meet me in the dark And I’ll show you how to see All the monsters and the fables And you’ll find they look like me I just wanna be a kid again

Fell in love with a girl I fell in love once and almost completely She's in love with the world But sometimes these feelings Can be so misleading She turns and says "Are you alright?" I said "I must be fine 'cause my heart's still beating." Come and kiss me by the riverside, Bobby says it's fine he don't consider it cheating now Red hair with a curl Mellow roll for the flavor And the eyes were peeping Can't keep away from the girl These two sides of my brain Need to have a meeting Can't think of anything to do My left brain knows that All love is fleeting She's just looking for something new I said it once before But it bears repeating now Can't think of anything to do My left brain knows that All love is fleeting She's just looking for something new And I said it once before But it bears repeating now Fell in love with a girl I fell in love once and almost completely She's in love with the world But sometimes these feelings Can be so misleading She turns and says "Are you alright?" I said "I must be fine 'cause my heart's still beating" Come and kiss me by the riverside, Bobby says it's fine he don't consider it cheating now Can't think of anything to do My left brain knows that All love is fleeting She's just looking for something new And I said it once before But it bears repeating now

I was in love for the second time She told me not to lie You said, honey, I can sense that you're Struggling to find out what happened to you On tour and alone with nothing to lose Cried myself to sleep that night I haven't wrapped my head around it Maybe I should think about Your hands on my sides, my shirt lost to wine When I turned around and said "I can't believe you like me" When I turned around and said "I can't believe you like me better than the rest" When I turned around and said "I can't believe you like me better than the rest" Turns out kissing someone older Doesn't mean there's gonna be a lesson attached Say, I'm mature for my age But there's a bed to be made, why don't you lie in it? Swear I'll take this one to my grave And nothing's gonna change Oh man, it is the same There's a child writing stories of when they become king And learn to take everything When I turned around and said "I can't believe you like me better than the rest" When I turned around and said "I can't believe you like me better than the rest" Oh, better than the rest
