A CURE FOR LIMERENCE

how is it so fukin easy for u to disconnect?
I was insane but all I needed was a friend
I needed help, but wut more could I expect
from a world hellbent on a divisive end
if u know me so well then why
can't u look me in the eye?
are u afraid that I'll be ur mirror?
come on, don't be shy..
I'm too broken
for u to live in fear
there's so much more that i needed u to know
so how could u just let go?
u gave it ur all,
& put on quite a show..
I hear ur voice on the other side of the wall
but I thought u were going home?
I guess u just couldn't be alone..
it's too easy to disappear
I want u to need me
& I wish that u were here...
everything slips away w ease
I'd go screaming naked into the trees
but I'm stuck inside w my memories
u can come & go as u please
im genuinely disturbed
by how easily I can fade in & out
of ppls lives...

oh, to be young again..
wen even stale moments exploded
picking every battle & fighting none
& a stifled memory
was all I needed
to have fun
I no longer want to fight the world
but it just won't let up
I'm one tough lil girl
but this time I might not get back up
(get up)
it took goddamn near 30 years
to work up the nerve
to laugh maniacally & shed my tears
& to live the life that a warrior deserves
let down ur guard
& hope will follow
this life is hard
fill up & don't ring hollow
but somethings gotta change
u can feel something’s gotta change
u just know something’s gotta change
to even want tomorrow
FILL
UP
&
DONT
RING
HOLLOW

BEHOLDEN
01:36
|
|||
battered & bruised but consoling
u never know wut these nites will pull in
wut old lows are now ur new heights?
collapsing veins, bloody nose
police dog bites, fist fights
& the mischief wind blows…
I'll be beholden
baby, just hold me
mapping the ruins of lives that I've touched
all the fucked up illusions & punch drunk love
maybe I just worry too much
but wuts there to live for if not a hunch?
i’ll be beholden
baby, just hold me
im sure youve been warned about me
the mouthy brat looking for their family
we’re all colliding,
getting tangled
self obsessed energy vampires
needing to feed
always looking for wuts been lost
so are any of us rly born to be free..?

the stinking tongue of a starving beast
licks the chemical sweat from my brow
we patiently await deaths sweet release
bring it on home now, holy cow..
I can't go one more nite
gnawing at my fingers
I can't go one more nite
clawing at the door
I hear a scream from the alley
& I just gotta know
wen will it be my time to go..?
death trip
death trip
love for anything is a death trip
get a grip
get a grip
feel time slip & get a grip
time slip
time slip
feeling anything is a time slip
death trip
death trip
don't gimme no lip & get a grip

USING ALONE
02:35
|
|||
summer just begun
but a chemical spill killed all our fun
we swore we'd always have each other
but rn I don't think me & u is enough
to resurrect our lost loved ones
think of all the strange ppl
our parents would trust
think of all the things
we pulverized to dust
to snort or shoot up
just like our parents
we wanted to grow up big n strong
to:
- fight the law & lose
- prove a point
- choose
does it make u sad
or is it just too bad..?
something about
that long desolate dirt road
terrified me
but here i am..
using alone

LYNCH MOB (LOVE MOMENTS)
01:33
|
|||
do u remember all those times
I welcomed u into my home
& u'd sit & complain for hours
about ppl I don't even know..?
am I just one of those beasts now
scavenging on the periphery?
why won't u come wither w me..?
I'm so sick of being jaded
(love moments)
but Ive lost faith in the common good
(love moments)
too gone to be faded
(love moments)
beyond burnt out by the neighbourhood
(love moments)
some ppl want to have problems
(love moments)
so is that all I am..?
(love moments)
I'm consumed & im confused by ur
**LOVE MOMENTS**
ppl can suck u dry
ppl can turn their back
ppl can watch u fukin die
but ppl won't cut u no slack
ppl will put u ina box
ppl will put u ina noose
but ppl won't cut u no slack
& sure as hell won't cut u loose

SHE'S SO KIND TO ME
02:57
|
|||
everything faded in & out of itself
like a blur
everything felt distant & helpless
til I met her
ashtray heart & chainsmoke brains
in a shallow grave I would stir
I thought that great art was only made in chains
til I met her
stuck on rewind
stuck on repeat
she's on my mind
& im out on the street
trying to help u find a vein
on christmas morning in the dark
desperate to kill the pain
but just mutilating our arms
i dont want to lose my mind
i want to live to see us heal
the only time i feel safe closing my eyes
is wen she reminds me wut is real
ashtray heart & chainsmoke brains
in a shallow grave I would stir
I thought that great art was only made in chains
til I met her

CRIME + PUNISHMENT
02:36
|
|||
every living moment is a moment
spent betraying my better judgment
if only real life was as simple
as crime & punishment
I can't be ur endlessly sympathetic ear
I can't be a cheerleader for self destruction
that's not why Creator left me here
to feed ur insatiable consumption
if these walls could talk
they'd hang their heads in shame
for all the secrets they must keep
to keep ur PICTURE hanging in the hall of fame
if these walls could talk
they'd hang their heads in shame
waiting for the other shoe to drop
so I can walk away
u know, a reapers gotta reap
cause death will not play ur games
every living moment is a moment
spent betraying my better judgment
if only real life was as simple
as crime & punishment

BANDO EYES
01:48
|
|||
scuttle cross the floor like ur ancestors
ur breathing shallow like a cockroach
an energy vampire
masquerading as a life coach
heroin chique & cocaine peaks
but I know it's u whose ass reeks
get outta here
& go clean urself up
I can't stand u
& I tell myself it's because I understand u
but I know it's the fear
of the maniacs that ur bound to
white pain
white anxiety
wolves in christ rags
virtue signal to infiltrate the enemy
they stare out of bando eyes
carefully planning my demise
(more possibilities are erased
the longer I stay away
from the monsters I've faced
just to be on display
& to be displaced
I can barely make friends
let alone make amends
but I'm sure I can adapt
even if just to see
how this cold war of cowards
ends)

TINY POWER
04:01
|
|||
I can admit wen I'm at fault
I confess my aim's not always true
that doesn't make me a good person
just better than u
hold on, hold on
to ur tiny power
hold on, hold on
u fukin coward
I made myself small enough
to swallow whole
& now im nothing but a drug
for ur junky soul
live authentically, die alone
ive done everything to make this cage a home
I gave, I gave, I gave until it hurt
u stabbed my back, I gave u my bloody shirt
time can't heal all wounds
because time is a wound
i know that I cannot fix u
& that we are all doomed
hold on, hold on
to ur tiny power
hold on, hold on
u fukin coward
I made myself small enough
to swallow whole
& now im nothing but a drug
for ur junky soul
