do it again
02:43

Iām so depressed
I lose my focus
They say, āYouāre probably fineā
Why canāt they notice?
Iāve always known
To learn to cope
With the pain
Get up and do it again
Just do your best
Make sure you do it with a smile
Then if youāre lucky
Have a place to rest your head a while
To
Work for this guy so he can pay me with some Vyvanse
When it gets tough, dissociate and put myself in a trance
Iāll pay his mortgage, keep him gorgeous, drive myself insane
Get off and stay pissed off
Wake up and do it again
Iām so depressed
Iām so in debt
They said āInvest in your future,
But you aināt earned it yetā
Iāve always tried
To push my trauma aside
Circumstances, they change
But you go and do it again
100 cover letters
For 100 applications
I get just one call back
Itās a celebration
To
Work for this guy so he can pay me with some estrogen
Come back tomorrow so that he can tell me Iām still a man
Pad his pockets, buy his rockets, watch them say āHeās great!ā
Get off and stay pissed off
Wake up and do it again
And again and again
And again and again
And
Maybe Iāll hang with my friends
When the pandemics end
But we know they won't end
They'll just fuck up and do it again.

curdled
02:39
|

Glued to the bed
Staring at the ceiling
Feel it oozing out
Thereās no stopping the bleeding
A deep paralysis
Due to indecision
Somethingās gotta change
You said you would but didnāt
Thereās a fear creeping
Thereās a rotten smell
A bemused resignation
I know too well
An internal rebellion
That Iāve failed to quell
Thereās a story that
Iām sad I have to tell
About
How my hope
Itās curdled
My strength
Itās curdled
My respect for you
Itās curdled
Every word I try to say to you is curdled
Itās curdled (x8)
Body lying idle
While I downward spiral
Shallow breathing
As Iām seething
Let in sink in
How all of my fears
From the past 20 years
Lie in front of me
And
My hope
Itās curdled
My strength
Itās curdled
My respect for you
Itās curdled
Every word I try to say to you is curdled
Itās curdled (x8)
Say you canāt see it
Guess Iām the problem
Say you canāt see it
Guess Iām the problem
I was optimistic
You refused to see it
Guess Iām the problem
Iāve always been the problem
Guess Iām the problem (Itās curdled) x3
Iāve always been the problem (Iām curdled)

content
02:51

Is it weird Iām content with being alone
If I canāt find a girl like me
āCause these men only ever annoy me
Is it sad to admit Iām content with this solitude
When giving into my heart just destroys me
Iām an oracle, a therapist, a good time
Iām an obstacle, a moodboard, a dollar sign
Heāll see me as anything but human
Just
āCause he canāt recognize the sins of his father
He canāt draw a line
āCause heās made his mind up
That heās gonna be like his father
He fall in line
āCause heāll be fine
And maybe heāll take his kids farther
Heāll have a son
Heāll say he loves
But prays she donāt end up his daughter
The worldās only gonna grow hotter
And heās gotta be like his father
Is it bad that I feel like Iām damaged beyond repair
That Iām too traumatized to give myself to a girl who cares
Is it wrong that Iām stuck in the shadow of all that he did to me
Is it right that I feel so damn scared?
Just
Cause he canāt recognize the sins of his father
He canāt draw a line
āCause heās made his mind up
That heās gonna be like his father
He fall in line
āCause heāll be fine
And maybe heāll take his kids farther
Heāll have a son
Heāll say he loves
But prays she donāt end up his daughter
The worldās only gonna grow hotter
Heās content with becoming his father
And Iām content with being alone
And Iām content with being alone
And Iām content with being alone.

&
Itās sad
You canāt
See how
I see
Myself
Is due
To how
You saw
Me
&
Itās sad
Iām stuck
Itās sad
My executive
Functionās left me
But I
Guess Iām where you want me
Moving really slowly
Trudging through a mudslide
Looking for the bright side
And you donāt really know me
Inasmuch as control me
And know what youāre saying
It aināt fucking helping
Get off me
&
Itās sad
I tried
My whole
Life to
Be everything
You said
You wanted
&
Itās sad
Weāre far
Itās sad
You canāt
Meet me
Halfway from where you are
But I
Guess Iām where you want me
Moving really slowly
Trudging through a mudslide
Looking for the bright side
And you donāt really know me
Inasmuch as control me
And I know what youāre saying
It aināt fucking helping
It aināt fucking helping (x4)
Please fucking get off me (x4)
Yeah itās sad

I tried to water it down
I tried to make it easy
I tried to spare your feelings
I tried to keep it breezy
I tried to hold your hand
I tried to help you understand
But you donāt want to understand
You got yours, so thatās fine.
Well
I donāt care
Anymore
I donāt care
Anymore
I donāt care
Anymore
I donāt care
Anymore
At the point
Where I wish
I could just
Pull away
And retreat
Somewhere deep
In the forest
Itās depressing
The best I
Can hope for
Is that youāll
Just learn to
Ignore us
But I donāt care
Anymore
I donāt care
Anymore
I donāt have
Any more
Bandwidth
To those who have some more bandwidth
I implore you, use it.
āCause when Iāve got some more bandwidth for these fuckers
Promise Iāll get back to it
But
I canāt care
Anymore
I canāt care
Anymore
I canāt care
Anymore
I canāt care
Anymore
Oh Iām
At the point
Where I wish
I could just
Pull away
And retreat
Somewhere deep
In the forest
Itās depressing
The best I
Can hope for
Is that theyāll
Just learn to
Ignore us
But I canāt care
Anymore
I canāt care
Anymore
I donāt have
Any more
Bandwidth
Yeah I canāt care
Anymore
I canāt care
Anymore
I donāt have
Any more
Bandwidth
I donāt have anymore bandwidth
I donāt have anymore bandwidth
I donāt have anymore bandwidth
Iām at my breaking point

beautiful
03:57

Ghosts of people I barely knew
Haunt every synapse of my rapid fire brain
I try to sleep, they make bizarre shapes in my dreams
They freak me out, I hug my dog so tight she screams
& There I am, Iām wide awake
With no desire to face the day
But I see the sun
And I tell myself that
Itās too beautiful a day to die
And I canāt promise youāll make it
But itās a beautiful day to try
So letās see how far that takes you
Youāve got too beautiful a face to hide
And I hate how the world tries to break you
But please donāt let it win
Men Iāve accepted I canāt change
I put them in their paper boats and push them all downstream
I canāt describe what that means
But it hurts so much
But I still stare at the sun
And tell myself that
Itās too beautiful a day to die
And I canāt promise youāll make it
But itās a beautiful day to try
So letās see how far that takes you
Youāve got too beautiful a face to hide
And I hate how the world tries to break you
But please donāt let it win
This world has taken so damn much from you
Please donāt give in
And every part of you that they degrade
And everything of yours you love they try to take away
And every hope of yours you have for better days
Just hold them in
Please donāt give in
Just hold them in
Donāt let them win
Donāt let them win

My best friend is back in town
There's a bad taste in my mouth
Her eyes fell low and heavy with shame and cum
She must have been desperate; she acted so lonely
She is deserving of affection, I am glad that she found love
What love lays bare in me is energy
So I give up that which keeps me going and I still end up lonely
Sick with loss and shame so I edit for mistakes to determine what I'd done that made her act this way
She'll forget her actions
Someday, I'll forget her actions
Ashes to ashes to ashes to ashes, we will all die someday
I am full of light
I am full of light
I am full of light
I am full of light
I am filled with joy
I am filled with joy
I am filled with joy
I am full of peace
I am full of peace
I am full of peace
I am full of peace
I had this dream that I forgave my enemies
My enemies
