Want to Burn

Help me I’ve been living like I'm dying
And I'm drowning on my own spit
Help me I’ve been wanting what I used
Even though it made me feel like shit
I know you told me this would happen again
I know you told me this would happen again
I like living pretend
I like living pretend
I won’t quit therapy just like I won’t quit you
And I won’t kill my self there’s too much left to do
And I'll learn from mistakes cause it's what good people do
But some times I just want to burn
some times I just want to burn
Help me I've been fucking up my life
By standing absolutely still
Help me I've been meaning to clean up
But I just haven’t got the will
I know you told me this would happen again
I know you told me this would happen again
I like living pretend
I like living pretend
I won’t quit therapy just like I won’t quit you
And I won’t kill my self there’s too much left to do
And I'll learn from mistakes it's what good people do
But some times I just want to burn
some times I just want to burn

Keep My Cool

Lovely's such a beautiful word I wish I had things to apply it to
Sadness is such a beautiful thing and I wish I had someone to cry to
In your mind, I'm a swan and my color is blue
In your pool, waters cold and the color is blue
Honor's such a terrible thing but it’s something we ascribe to
Being dumb is a wonderful thing and that’s how I feel when I’m around you
I am full I’m consumed but I keep it real cool
I’m afraid of sharp things but I got 500 little tattoos
hair is brown I've gone mad so I’ll dye it light blue
I am 5 room is pink but I want it dark blue
Fuck this world fuck this life I need all blue
Fuck your rose fuck this night I need it all blue

Asymmetric

If she can escape, she’ll be snagged up real quick
She wants to have principles, but cement's getting too thick
She ignores the lonely, but it’s heavy like bricks
Loves get stuck under her skin, digging down like ticks
She’s trying to hold on, but the oil's too slick
They say patience is virtue, she’s burned down to the wick
She's afraid of vaccines, surprised when she gets sick
It’s hard to get trapped when love is asymmetric
Do whatever to keep you, she’ll do platonic
She's sorry she met you, she’s catatonic
She’s in flames she’s unhinged she wears bright red lipstick
She’s an unlicensed race car wasting her gas on cheap tricks
When you finally kiss her, it will taste metallic
Blood will flow on to your tongue, isn’t it romantic
Because when something is dying, they become synthetic
Stuffed full and sown up, forgotten in your dusty attic.

Denial
03:17
|

I was raised in a garden
In some arms that I can not pardon
And my heart just never hardened
Which lead me to you
So I will stay in denial
Cus' it’s safer than to see
And I, I choose denial
Cus' endings are heard for me
I never had a father
Never wanted mother
Should have fell for another
But I fell for you
So I will stay in denial
Cus' it’s safer than to see
And I, I choose denial
Cus' endings are heard for me
I was raised thorn patch
grabbed the first light that I could snatch
didn't swallow your first batch
but I found more like you
So I will stay in denial
Cus' it's better than an empty bed
And I, l choose denial
Cus' even when you're gone you're still in my head

Disassociation

Oh I don’t know, there’s so many ways to go, but if I say I might die
And how can this be, if all I’ve ever meant to me, is a person I have to keep alive
I wanna go back when my vision wasn’t dark
I wanna not have a flaming red hot heart
But if I wanna get back to earth
I would have to put me first
No really
No really
I’m fine
And my mind, is forever in the snow
Where’s my body, I don’t know where it goes
And your highs, will forever be my lows
And I’m fine, I just can’t feel my toes
I wanna know how silence sounds
I wanna know if my feet still touch the ground
But if I ever had regrets
Well they’ve all been ripped to shreds
No, really
No, really
I'm fine
And my mind, is forever in the snow
Where’s my body, I don’t know where it goes
And your highs, will forever be my lows
And I’m fine, I just can’t feel my toes

Laser Queen

We begged for forgiveness but we were not redeemed
Us, here to fuck up your yellow polka dot regime
Our sticky switchblade crimson schemes
Your classically trained curdling screams
My bed is on fire so I sleep in the steam
Me who sands down my skin till my clavicles gleam
We plate glass slushie bloody queens
Us drunken slumber NyQuil dreams
Your midnight marching headlight beam
My single mother with her saguaro teens
Me a sunlit acidic laser beam

Abyss:
Good Buys aren't always spoken
And my heart doesn't always end up broken
The summer before we spent it moping
My heart doesn't stay wet it stays soaking
And I can admit
That once or twice feeling may exist
But now that we're out and clear of the abyss
I'm done, I've already known your kiss
What the Darkness Said:
Well it came to me in darkness yeah, it came to me and it said though you might find comfort in the outside love is only in your head.
And I wanna shut off everything that's out there shut off and shut in because the only time I ever know what is mine is when I have to watch it end.
And I wanna apologize to my mother you know she only wants what's for the best but like every little worm still crawling through the earth, we don't know what's a-comin' next.
Not many preachers I know still come around here those who do are just preaching to the deaf because when I go down I'm going way way fucking down to scrape the bottom 'til there's nothing left.

Things won’t work out this time
Things won’t work out this time
Say it ain’t so but you gotta go
Say it ain’t so but you gotta go
Please call me
Please call me
You're out west, I tried my best I tried my best
You're out west, I tried my best I tried my best
I’m 5 fucks away
I’m 5 fucks away
