my friends wish id never see you again
but you say where and i ask when
i cant tell you no so I take these self help books I bought
and I stack them up between us so while you say dont go, i cant go
lets break our kneecaps for fun
ill pay you not to talk to me
you always wanted a song
this is it, im sorry
my friends are horrified by this song
the truth hurts and my friends werent wrong
i hope you never hear it
i guess we dont actually get along

Driving down hwy 101
Trying to fall in love with myself via ocean
I swear there was a me before you
And there's a me without you
She's draping from the trees
I'll be a mossy babe I'll be a little shrub don't follow me
Oh oh oh oh
It's easy being green, I don't even need all that much sun
Forget seasonal affective disorder, I've got things to be done
Ill photosynthesize right before yr eyes
Oh oh oh oh
Life is hard
Sometimes I can't think if a single thing that's easy
And I wanna get hit by a speeding car
But I won't let me
Maybe if I was a little plant
I would love me
Maybe if I was a little plant
Life would be lovely
Oh oh oh oh

tell me would you kill me if I asked real nicely?
im a nice girl, I ask politely
if I ask you to hurt me, is that agency?
if I asked you to, does it mean I'm crazy?
I try to love then I fuck it up
I never had a choice not to believe in ghosts
when I read about demons sitting on chests
I remembered not being able to get out of bed
the clammy red leather perched on my chest
tell me would you kill me if I asked real nicely?
im a nice girl, I ask politely
I never had a choice not to believe in ghosts
when I was a ghost all along
and I am a ghost that ghosts haunt
whats more loving than eternal rest?

Don't think that I forgot how it feels to love you
Is three years too soon to fall asleep in your bedroom?
Grief is just love turned inside out
Grief is just love turned upside down

I can't blame you for the alcohol
And you can't blame me for being sick
We tried our hardest
It's not always enough is it
You didn't choose them over me, that would be too simple
But why didn't you just leave?
Yr actions hurt and yr words were too sweet
Yr actions hurt and yr words hurt
I waited six months to call you on yr shit
I tried to change myself cause the old me, you'd already left her
I let the feelings fester
I am also guilty
Do you know I love you
Do you know it better than I do
I'll never feel loved by you
You'll never love me like I want you to
I'll never trust you like I used to
Forgiveness is a slip of the tongue
Our friendship only makes you cry our friendship only makes me run
How's yr heart?

damn shame (ahhhhhh!!!)

Why do you like me
Why did she call me up that night
Just to tell me that you're better than me
Why do I like me
How can I like me more
Why is shame the queer feeling
Why is shame so enticing
I followed the sunset all the way back to the west coast
I'm in the ocean now praying for healing but thinking of you
In my gut, I swallowed a rocky chunk of moon
If I retrieved my ghost from that willow tree in michigan
She is cramped and crowded inside me with all the pollution
I've swallowed, trying to open up
I've thrown up, trying to open up

I will change my name
And I will stay the same
It’s exhaust you smell on me, it’s exhausting
Can you see past the mold on the walls and the spiders eggs in the window?
Did you change your name for this, your hair for this, where did they all go?
Watching, waiting, watching they’re waiting
When i call my own name, I will come running
Did you come to say goodbye, your hands wrung but your palms dry?
If you thought I already left, why’d you come around here then?

Isaac said they're not a zebra in the zoo
"they died and I'm not dying"
Isaac said that sleep is hard to do
The desert better keep you warm, it has to
Augustine drinks and I hold my tongue
I should hold her instead and I hate that I wont
Augustine asks me why she's not bigger than this body
This body better serve you well, it has to
I've been calling them demons
They call me home now
I've been calling the pastor
I've been speaking in tongues
I'd rather die by own hand than be killed by you

The wind begins to change
But the willows stay the same
I wept and jesus wept
I don't know how the river knows
Which way it should go
But I know how to go
Mountains go up and down
And the river flows up and down
My mood goes up and down
Up and down

A year from now we'll all be gone
All our friends will move away
And they're going to better places
But our friends will be gone away
Nothing is as it has been
And I miss your face like Hell
And I guess it's just as well
But I miss your face like Hell
Been talking 'bout the way things change
And my family lives in a different state
And if you don't know what to make of this
Then we will not relate
So if you don't know what to make of this
Then we will not relate
Rivers and roads
Rivers and roads
Rivers 'til I reach you

She said can you listen with your knees
Can you feel the soft breeze
Can you hear me callin you
Girl, I don't know
A thing about soft or slow
But electricity
From my fingertips it flows
When you're next to me
I'm a pyramid It shows
In the way my heart groans
chorus
You're all calm before the storm
And I'm warmed up before
You have the chance for warning
I'm a hurricane full force
You said don't forget the distance
It's all the Journey
While I'm over here searching
for the path of least resistance
The weakness in the door frame
You put there for me
