Expectations
04:43
|
|||
I remember well
How they told me I’d go to hell
I had just hatched from my shell
And was overwhelmed
By all the sounds
And these colors
And these expectations on me x 3
That came from you
They came from you x 5
And I felt your love
In the form of a shove
Off a cliff
After which I flew above
All the sounds
And these colors
And these expectations on me (on me) x 3
They follow me
Every day x 4
I hear you say x 2
And
You tell me the choices you’ve made
And the choices you’re making
You’re a slave to them all x 2
You better beware
Of the choices you’ll make
‘Cause we’re all made to fall
Yeah we’re all made to fall
Your foundation’s cracking
Your judgement is lacking
And you choose for your choices
To be made by those tracking
The choices you’ve made
And the choices you’re making
And back to them you’ll choose to crawl
Hold up.
Let me try to put it a different way.
I don’t know.
There’s like a cacophony within me
That I wish you could hear for just a second
On me
These expectations on me x7
They look like ants from this high up
And I’d fly to the end of the world
Just to make them stop

Moral Obligation
05:35
|
|||
Do you hear me
When I tell you
I have something important to say?
‘Cause you look quite distracted.
But I can’t make your phone away.
Do you believe me
When I tell you
That something has to change?
‘Cause I refuse to live like this.
I’m moving on whatever it takes.
And I hope I don’t lose you.
I hope you feel
The urgency I feel
I hope it don’t hurt you.
‘Cause all I want to do is heal
And it’s been
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Nights since I saw you
And I don’t know what I’d say if I did.
I spent
6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Years trying to be this thing you want
And I can’t do it again
If I could beam myself
Inside your fucking mind
And beat your fears into submission
I would
But even if I could
Would it make a difference?
Just tell me do I have
A moral obligation
To trap myself inside of this depression I am in
A moral obligation
To make you feel the most comfortable you’ve ever been.
A moral obligation
To crumple all my feelings up push them back inside
A moral obligation
To make myself hide when I’m around you
And do you know that
When I look into a mirror
The reflection that I see looks like you?
Do you like that that’s true?
‘Cause I’m scared that I’ll lose you.
I’m scared to feelThe urgency I feel
I’m scared to know it hurts you.
‘Cause all I want to do is heal
And it’s been
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Nights since I saw you
And I don’t know what I’d say if I did.
I spent
6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Years trying to be this thing you wantAnd I can’t do it again.
If I could beam myself
Inside your fucking mind
And beat your fears into submission
I would
But even if I could
Would it make a difference?
Just tell me do I have
A moral obligation
To trap myself inside of this depression I am in
A moral obligation
To make you feel the most comfortable you’ve ever been
A moral obligation
To crumple all my feelings up, push them back inside
A moral obligation
To make myself hide when I’m around you
A moral obligation x 12
And what is an egg
But chaos self-contained?
An image you project
Then pray it feels the same.
And like a mother loon,
You brought me where I lay.
But I can feel your hands around me
Scared I’ll run away
Time only knows forward motion
We can’t stay the same
And I’m still weak from holding it all in.
Help me turn the page x5

Killdeer

I met a girl in the city
She used to live in the country
I asked her why did she leave it
And she said
“I guess that they couldn’t love me”
I said
“I’m sorry that happened”
I said
“I’ve been there before”
She said
“Girl why don’t you join me?”
She said
“Let’s open a new door”
I thought about it a second
I tasted freedom in the scent she wore.
I saw a chance in her ripped-up fishnets
But I told her
“Girl, I’m not so sure”
I guess I caught her by surprise
She said
“I don’t understand you”
She saw the tears in my eyes
I said
“I don’t understand me too”
And when I’m bruised and I’m broken
And when my world is falling apart
I’d kill to be like you, dear
Unafraid to press restart
And when my prognosis is rotten
Because my enemies have won
I’d kill to be like you, dear
Give up and move on
But I’m just a little weakling
‘Cause when it’s all said and done
I’m like a deer in the headlights
I’m too afraid to run
Yeah I’m too afraid to run x3
Like a deer in the headlights, I’m too afraid to run
She asked me
“What are you scared of?”
I told her
“I don’t really know
I guess I’m scared of the solitude
I guess I’m scared of letting go
I’m scared of change and rejection
I’m scared to opens my arms out wide
I’m scared to make a connection
I’m scared of what’s on the other side”
She said
“You’ve got to move past this
You’ve got to break out of this shell
Or you’re just gonna get stepped on”
I said
“I know that feeling well”
And when I’m bruised and I’m broken
And when my world is falling apart
I’d kill to be like you, dear
Unafraid to press restart
Yeah
And when my prognosis is rotten
Because my enemies have won
I’d kill to be like you, dear
Give up and move on
But I’m just a little weakling‘
Cause when it’s all said and done
I’m like a deer in the headlights
I’m too afraid to run
And I guess I’m lost in the trees
And I’ve got people to please
And I guess I’m all caught up
In this sunken-cost fallacy
I’ve got a tiny little voice
And I’m scared to make a choice
She just looked at me and said
“Girl, fuck that noise.”

(Dani)
I want out x3
If anything,
I’m better off alone
(Wren)
And I’m your little doll
I gave you my all
I’m the mess you made
I’m stuck just like you
Know I need to move
But I’m too afraid
You taught me
Grab the gun
Off the wall
Lock the door
Take cover
Never let these thoughts inside
And I guess that worked
Till all that was left was a girl
With no more places to hide
And yeah I tried
Doing things your way
Until I couldn’t fight
These feelings I had pushed away
And now you’re mad
I’m being my own person
Like you said to be
What the fuck?
I just find it so odd how I’m
Left to fight alone
When you tell me you’re on my side
‘Cause now I’m six-foot-deep in shit
I gave up so much to you
I’ve got nothing to show for it
Can you tell me what you meant
By unconditional love?
You say you needed some guidance
From a man up above
You say”The world’s gonna change”
But you’re not gonna change
And it’s one and the same.
It’s just so damn odd
It’s so damn odd x3
How I’m the odd one out again
It’s so damn odd x3
How I’m the odd one out again
(Dani)
And every mind is just
And every mind is just a
And every mind is just a thing
That brings color to life
And you cannot expect
And you cannot expect my
And you cannot expect my choices
To be relative
(Wren)
And I won’t be ashamed
Of the softest parts of me
And I’ll wear them on my sleeve
And you can feel how you want
It’s ok x3
But I’m done turning away.
Because
I tried
Doing things your way
Until I couldn’t fight
These feelings I had pushed away
And now you’re mad
I’m being my own person
Like you said to be
What the fuck?
I just find it so odd how I’m
Left to fight alone
When you tell me you’re on my side
‘Cause now I’m six-foot-deep in shit
I gave up so much to you
I’ve got nothing to show for it
Can you tell me what you meant
By unconditional love?
You say you needed some guidance
From a man up above
You say
”The world’s gonna change”
But you’re not gonna change
And it’s one and the same.
It’s just so damn odd
It’s so damn odd x3
How I’m the odd one out again
It’s so damn odd x3
How I’m the odd one out again
(Dani)
And every mind is just
And every mind is just a
And every mind is just a thing
That brings color to life
And you cannot expect
And you cannot expect my
And you cannot expect my choices
To be relative
(Tree)
(It’s so damn odd (repeated))
After everything you’ve given me
Wasn’t enough
And everything I told you
I won’t have your trust
Starting over from the ground up
Wings clipped
You can’t stand the sight of it
[[But you won’t change
So I guess I have to
Couldn’t do this without you
But I guess I have to]] repeated
I never thought I could be alone
I didn’t think I’d get where I needed to go
But you won’t change
So I guess I have to
Can’t do this without you
But I guess I’ll have to

And I was just a dove
All I knew was love
Smile on my face
Till fucking mockingbirds
Pushed me to the dirt
And put me in my place
So I became a lark
Tried to press restart
But they pulled me in close
Just to claw through my heart again
So I drew a line in the sand
Now they say
”Little bird sitting in the tree
Why can’t you sing
Your little song so sweet?”
I tell them
”Maybe I’ll change my tune
When my sisters and I can walk
Safely down the street”
And they’ll say
”Shut the fuck up
Sit the fuck down
You know that
We don’t yet understand it”
Well you’ll just have to find
A way to manage
Like I had to find
A way to manage
I just let ‘em yell
”Hey! What have you done?!”
I’ve come out of my cage
I’m gonna have some fun
Under the sun‘
Cause climate change is gonna kill us anyways
So I’m gonna do what I want
And I’m gonna be who I want
And I’m gonna love who I want
And I’m gonna fuck who I want
And I’m gonna wear what I want
And I’m gonna live how I want
And I’m gonna cry if I want
And you can say what you want
But I’m done listening
Yeah, I’m done listening x7
Carolina wren
Rising up again
Through the winter cold
These vultures in the sky
Can feast on my insides
But they can’t have my soul
Falcon within me
Actualizing
Everything that they told me I’d never be
We’re gonna let ‘em see
And they say
”Little bird sitting in the tree
Why can’t you sing
Your little song so sweet?”
I tell them
”Maybe I’ll change my tune
When my sisters and I can walk
Safely down the street”
And they’ll say
”Shut the fuck up
Sit the fuck down
You know that
We don’t yet understand it”
Well you’ll just have to find
A way to manage
Like I had to find
A way to manage
I just let ‘em yell

Under the sun
‘Cause climate changeIs gonna kill us anyways
So I’m gonna do what I want

And I’m gonna love who I want
And I’m gonna fuck who I want
And I’m gonna wear what I want
And I’m gonna live how I want
And I’m gonna cry if I want
And you can say what you want
But I’m done listening
Yeah, I’m done listening x7
And yeah you’re gonna let me mourn
For all the times I’ve compromised since I was born
And yeah you’re gonna let me cry
Without giving you a million reasons why
And you’re just gonna love me
Can you handle that?
You’re gonna hear me even if it hurts to
Is that too much to ask?
‘Cause if it is then go (just fucking go)
Yeah if it is then go (leave me alone)
At least that’s what I know (please let this end)
Just go
My wings will pick me up again x3
”Little bird sitting in the tree
Why can’t you sing
Your little song so sweet?”
I tell them
”Maybe I’ll change my tune
When my sisters and I can walk
Safely down the street”
And they’ll say
”Shut the fuck up
Sit the fuck down
You know that
We don’t yet understand it”
Well you’ll just have to find
A way to manage
Like I had to find
A way to manage
Till then you can yell
”Hey! What have you done?!”
I’ve come out of my cage
I’m gonna have some fun
Under the sun
‘Cause climate changeIs gonna kill us anyways
So I’m gonna do what I want
And I’m gonna be who I want
And I’m gonna love who I want
And I’m gonna fuck who I want
And I’m gonna wear what I want
And I’m gonna live how I want
And I’m gonna cry if I want
And you can say what you want
But I’m done listening
Yeah, I’m done listening x7

You were cold when I met you
You were difficult to please
I tried to give you some space
But then you moved back close to me
I tried to guess your intentions
But you were so hard to read
And I saw you melt into a puddle
I saw that smile on your face
I couldn’t tell what you wanted
I guess you liked it that way
But now you’re telling me
I was crazy to see something there
Well that’s a hard pill to swallow, babe
I guess that I don’t love you anymore
I guess that I don’t love you anymore
Try to ‘member the feelings that I had before
But I’m done with you
And I guess I don’t know what I was fighting for
Couldn’t win the battle or the war
Now, I’m just another trans girl
Walking home alone tonight
What’s new?
But I ain’t gonna fall apart
And I ain’t gonna “be that guy”
And I ain’t gonna text you back
And I ain’t gonna cross that line
And maybe it’s weird right now
But maybe it’ll be just fine
It’s just gonna take some time
I need time to be angry
I need time to cry
I need time to fucking hate you
I need time to wonder why
You teased me with the idea
That maybe you’d be mine
It’s just gonna take some time
And I ain’t gonna freak out
And I ain’t gonna shut down
I only wanted
To feel wanted
By you
And I know you didn’t mean to
But I felt so damn far beneath you
And I’m done trying
To justify myself to you
I guess that I don’t love you anymore
I guess that I don’t love you anymore
Try to ‘member the feelings that I had before
But I’m done with you
And I guess I don’t know what I was fighting for
Couldn’t win the battle or the war
Now, I’m just another trans girl
Walking home alone tonight
What’s new?
But I ain’t gonna fall apart
And I ain’t gonna “be that guy”
And I ain’t gonna text you back
And I ain’t gonna cross that line
And maybe it’s weird right now
But maybe it’ll be just fine
It’s just gonna take some time
I need time to be angry
I need time to cry
I need time to fucking hate you
I need time to wonder why
You teased me with the idea
That maybe you’d be mine
But it’s just gonna take some time
It’s just gonna take some time
It’s gonna take some time
I can’t be near you right now
I just need to take some time
It’s gonna take some time
It’s gonna take some time
It’s just gonna take some time
I need time to be angry
I need time to cry
I need time to fucking hate you
I need time to wonder why
You teased me with the idea
That maybe you’d be mine
It’s just gonna take some time

The first single from the forthcoming album ODDBIRD out 11/6
Arguably the saddest song on the record, so an unusual pick for the first single. But I love it, and I think it represents my headspace from when I made this album very well. A song about a dark void of self-hatred. About a strong yearning for external validation and love. About letting someone tear away pieces of yourself until you become who they want you to be.
lyrics
There’s a darkness in me
I try to dress it up real bright
I try to push it back within me
But it still comes out at night
And there’s a darkness within me
It’s getting harder and harder to fight
And there’s a tendency in me
To pull out every hair
And pry off every nail
To get closer to the pain
And this tendency in me
Is getting harder and harder to change
And I hear your voice say
“Strip it all away”
I know that I should
And if I could find a way
To make that feel okay
Please know that I would
Draw you close enough to just
Pull my feathers off
Pull my feathers off
Preen me
Preen me
My feathers of many colors
Pull them off one by one
Preen me
Make me what you want
Preen me
Make me what you want
Preen me
Make me what you want
Preen me
My feathers
Preen me
And there’s a loneliness in me
It colors everything I do
It sabotages me
Gives me everything to lose
And the loneliness within me
Beckons me to you
And there’s a tenderness within me
That lies right underneath
All my fraying seams
And it’s free for you to use
But the tenderness in me
It tends to be abused
And I hear your voice say
“Strip it all away”
I know that I should
And if I could find a way
To make that feel okay
Please know that I would
Draw you close enough to just
Pull my feathers off
Pull my feathers off
Preen me
Preen me
My feathers of many colors
Pull them off one by one
Preen me
Make me what you want
Preen me
Make me what you want
Preen me
Make me what you want
Preen me
My feathers
Preen me
And when you have gotten
All you wanted
I hope you see
The parts left haunted
In me
A thousand scars left on my body
From all the stones they threw at me
And I can’t find a way
To make them go away
I wish that I could
But all I hear is your voice say
“It will be okay”
I wish that it would
‘Cause all I want to do is draw you close
And let you just
And let you just
Pull my feathers off
Pull my feathers off
Preen me
Preen me
My feathers of many colors
Pull them off one by one
Preen me
Make me what you want
Preen me
Make me what you want
Preen me
Make me what you want
Preen me
My feathers
Preen me
Preen me

Circle Of Life
06:14
|

And the opinions I hold
They were shaped by the mold
I was placed into when I was young
I guess I thought
If I’d just walk the walk
And play the part they wanted
A hand to hold would somehow come along
But all that it bred
Was a feeling of dread
When I just couldn’t pretend anymore
Well, I’m still here
And I’m still fighting through the fear
Every time someone like you
Just slams the door
But your words were real effective
I came back with a new perspective
It’s crazy how much you feel
When you get burned
And you’re right—it’s all subjective
I let go of what I expected
And made peace
With something that I learned
That it’s the circle of life
It’s just the way that it goes
We’re just born then we break shit
It’s all that anyone knows
I thought I felt a connection
But it just wasn’t there
I just thought that you were different
But like who even cares?
‘Cause it’s the circle of life
And it cuts you like a knife
For no reason why
You just learn to survive
‘Cause there’s no playing nice
In this circle of life
Well what will I do
Now that I know it ain’t you?
I keep asking myself in the dark
Well I’m so done with feeling stuck
In this compulsive cycle
So giving up on that might be a start
It’s just I guess that I felt
That the cards I was dealt
Must have left me unworthy of touch
But each new ghost that I’m supposed
To somehow rise above
Has made me realize that
Maybe I’m not missing much
But your words were real effective
I came back with a new perspective
It’s crazy how much you feel
When you get burned
And you’re right—it’s all subjective
I let go of what I expected
And made peace
With something that I learned
That it’s the circle of life
It’s just the way that it goes
We’re just born then we break shit
It’s all that anyone knows
I thought I felt a connection
But it just wasn’t there
I just thought that you were different
But like who even cares?
‘Cause it’s the circle of life
And it cuts you like a knife
For no reason why
You just learn to survive
‘Cause there’s no playing nice
In this circle of life
Mother nature
Have some mercy on me please
Give me shelter in your forest
Let me hide behind your leaves
‘Cause these passionate flames
Have a bounty on my name
Yeah, this circle of life has it out for me
The circle of life
It’s just the way that it goes
We’re just born then we break shit
It’s all that anyone knows
I thought I felt a connection
But it just wasn’t there
I just thought that you were different
But like who even cares?
‘Cause it’s the circle of life
And it cuts you like a knife
For no reason why
You just learn to survive
‘Cause there’s no playing nice
In this circle of life

We were just two kids
Who didn’t know what to think
Just two good eggs
In a world that was trying to make us break
So different from everyone around us
Couldn’t see the differences between ourselves
And you looked so damn cute
In your flippers and your webbed feet
My wings wider than your eyes could see
Thought this shit was superficial
Looking back that was a life
And you dipped your toes in the water
I lifted off to the sky
One day
Thought you were drowning
And I tried to pull you out
But you were swimming fine
I guess my head was in the clouds
You started crying
Said there’s something you need to tell me
You said I may wanna fly
But you just wanna swim
You said I roll my eyes
When you try to move your fins
You said I’ve got such pretty wings
I oughta try to fly
You’re happy in the water
I should just leave you behind
I wish you knew how hard it is
To say goodbye to you
Even though I know
It’s what I have to do
Even though I know
It’s probably best for you
I don’t wanna go
I’m fucking selfish I know
Little Penguin,
I’m sorry I treated you like I did
Little Penguin,
There was really just no excuse for it
Little Penguin,
I was such a different person then
Little Penguin,
I hope you found your way to peace again
Little Penguin,
I’m glad you got away from me
Little Penguin,
I hope you’re happy swimming in the sea
‘Cause I get to crying
When I think of what you told me
You said I may wanna fly
But you just wanna swim
You said I roll my eyes
When you try to move your fins
You said I’ve got such pretty wings
I oughta try to fly
You’re happy in the water
I should just leave you behind
I wish you knew how hard it is
To say goodbye to you
Even though I know
It’s what I have to do
Even though I know
It’s probably best for you
I don’t wanna go
I’m fucking selfish I know

And I’m so fucking depressed
I get in my own head
And make sense of my mess
‘Cause what else can I do?
This heart that’s always beating
This mind that’s always reeling
They’re interlocked with you
And all the memories I have
The time that I let pass
Feeling impending doom
You had me believing
I should hate myself for being
Something of no value to you
And like a little parasite
You wriggle your way back inside
Every single crevice of my life
And I will never be enough
So I’m done trying to measure up
There’s a levity I feel in giving up
When you say
“The early bird—it gets the worm first”
Well, I think waking up is the worst
And I’m so sick of your mentality
The second worm—it’s just as good to me
And tears to the girl I pushed inside
The mask that I applied
The part of me that died
She never will return
Her confidence was bubbling
Her body was worth loving
But you told me to burn
And change
The parts that you found strange
The parts that weren’t the same
Make them work for you
This heart is always breaking
Theses hands are always shaking
Because you wanted them to
And like a little parasite
You wriggle your way back inside
Every single crevice of my life
And I will never be enough
So I’m done trying to measure up
There’s a levity I feel in giving up
When you say
“The early bird—it gets the worm first”
Well, I think waking up is the worst
And I’m so sick of your mentality
The second worm—it’s just as good to me
And I am done competing here
With you
And the oceans you pollute
And the money that you make
And the violence you create
And the lies you choose to tell
And the forests that you’ve felled
And the thresholds that we’ve passed
And this world that may not last
This atmosphere around me
I can feel it burning
And it’s purging
Every last connection to you
And like a little parasite
You wriggle your way back inside
Every single crevice of my life
But I have found some peace in truth
And I’m done having shit to prove
There’s a levity I feel in giving up on you
When you say
“The early bird—it gets the worm first”
Well, I think waking up is the worst
And I’m so sick of your mentality
The second worm—it’s just as good to me

And I wanna fight
I wanna feel
I wanna run through an open field
You’re hand in mine
Your eyes that shine
Our stars aligned
I want it
I want you in my bed
I want it burning red
I want a way out of my head
And I wanna fly
I wanna scream
Want you tell me what you mean
Your soft side
My tongue tied
No need to hide
I want it
I want this cavity
Laying bare in me
Filled up till it flows freely
But I’m so scared of love
All the ones before you
Left me empty again and again
But there’s a light in you
I want so bad to let in
So I’ll let you in
Because
If there’s a hole inside of my heart
Then there’s a place for you
Don’t be scared by all of my scars
They made me ready for you
And this world tried to tear me apart
But I found my way to you
And I’ll fall right into your arms
If you want me to
If there’s a hole inside of my heart
Then there’s a place for you
Don’t be scared by all of my scars
They made me ready for you
And this world tried to tear me apart
But I found my way to you
And I’ll fall right into your arms
If you want me to x4
And I wanna feast
I wanna chill
I wanna go in for the kill
Our lips locked
You on top
The time stopped
I want it
I wanna hear you say
“It’s gonna be okay”
Even whenf it don’t feel that way
And I wanna kiss
I wanna cry
I wanna stop having to try
My best friend
Letting you in
No wounds to mend
I want it
I wanna be enough
I wanna know your touch
I wanna stop having to fear so much
But I’m so scared of love
All the ones before you
Left me empty again and again
But there’s a light in you
I want so bad to let in
So I’ll let you in
Because
If there’s a hole inside of my heart
Then there’s a place for you
Don’t be scared by all of my scars
They made me ready for you
And this world tried to tear me apart
But I found my way to you
And I’ll fall right into your arms
If you want me to
If there’s a hole inside of my heart
Then there’s a place for you
Don’t be scared by all of my scars
They made me ready for you
And this world tried to tear me apart
But I found my way to you
And I’ll fall right into your arms
If you want me to x4

And you
Your validation is my drug
I feel it pulsing through my veins
And I
I find myself hanging onto
Every single word you say
And you
You say that you love me
But you never seem to loosen up your hold
And I
I’ve gotta find a way to take back control
I’m gonna quit you cold turkey, baby
I’ve hit rock bottom
Don’t know what else to do
Gonna quit you cold turkey, baby
Even after all the things
That we have been through
And these withdrawals gonna hurt
But I already feel like dirt
And all I’ve got left to lose
Is this addiction to you
Gonna quit you cold turkey, baby
Maybe soon I’ll see the light
That lies beyond you
I’m gonna quit you cold turkey, baby
I’ve hit rock bottom
Don’t know what else to do
Gonna quit you cold turkey, baby
Even after all the things
That we have been through
And these withdrawals gonna hurt
But I already feel like dirt
And all I’ve got left to lose
Is this addiction to you
Gonna quit you cold turkey, baby
Maybe soon I’ll see the light
That lies beyond you
And I
I see your face and hear your voice
In every single place I go
And you
You’re hoping I give in
And walk myself right back into your stranglehold
And I
I’m getting used to how
This new routine—it isn’t bad, it’s only different.
And you
You’re just gonna have to get used to how
This is just one battle you’re not gonna win
I’m gonna quit you cold turkey, baby
I’ve hit rock bottom
Don’t know what else to do
Gonna quit you cold turkey, baby
Even after all the things
That we have been through
And these withdrawals gonna hurt
But I already feel like dirt
And all I’ve got left to lose
Is this addiction to you
Gonna quit you cold turkey, baby
Maybe soon I’ll see the light
That lies beyond you
I’m gonna quit you cold turkey, baby
I’ve hit rock bottom
Don’t know what else to do
Gonna quit you cold turkey, baby
Even after all the things
That we have been through
And these withdrawals gonna hurt
But I already feel like dirt
And all I’ve got left to lose
Is this addiction to you
Gonna quit you cold turkey, baby
Maybe soon I’ll see the light
That lies beyond you
Yeah I’m done making myself small
And I’m done balancing it all
I hate that I let myself fall
But I’m up again
And you must really hate yourself
To seek out my pictures with someone else
And say stupid shit like you
You need some help
But it can’t come from me
I’m gonna quit you cold turkey, baby
I’ve hit rock bottom
Don’t know what else to do
Gonna quit you cold turkey, baby
Even after all the things
That we have been through
And these withdrawals gonna hurt
But I already feel like dirt
And all I’ve got left to lose
Is this addiction to you
Gonna quit you cold turkey, baby
Maybe soon I’ll see the light
That lies beyond you
I’m gonna quit you cold turkey, baby
I’ve hit rock bottom
Don’t know what else to do
Gonna quit you cold turkey, baby
Even after all the things
That we have been through
And these withdrawals gonna hurt
But I already feel like dirt
And all I’ve got left to lose
Is this addiction to you
Gonna quit you cold turkey, baby
Maybe soon I’ll see the light
That lies beyond you
I’m gonna quit you cold turkey, baby x2
I’m gonna quit you cold turkey, baby (Gonna quit you cold turkey babe) x8

I stay the hell out of your way
But still you find a way
To get in my way
You like to spend your time
Wasting my time
If that’s what you like, I guess that’s fine
‘Cause I’m just gonna
Wrap myself in contradictions
Just to spite you
‘Cause I don’t even like you
You think I’m gonna let you ruin my night?
You don’t have a right to.
If you’re the thorn that’s in my side
I’ll just grow right beside you
And from the excrement beneath me
I will rise
And you can watch me
With your beady little eyes
As your shitty little guts
Rot from the inside
And fertilize me
And if the price of figuring myself out
Is to watch you freak out
Knock yourself out
And if I try to give you light
And you reflect the night
If that’s what you like, I guess that’s fine
‘Cause I’m just gonna
Wrap myself in contradictions
Just to spite you
‘Cause I don’t even like you
You think I’m gonna let you ruin my night?
You don’t have a right to.
If you’re the thorn that’s in my side
I’ll just grow right beside you
And from the excrement beneath me
I will rise
And you can watch me
With your beady little eyes
As your shitty little guts
Rot from the inside
And fertilize me
I felt the pain of your punches
I felt your hand on my ass
I felt the weight of the minute hand
As I watched the time pass
For twenty fucking years
Until it came to me at last
That’s when I learned
To wrap myself in contradictions
Just to spite you (Just to spite you)
‘Cause I don’t even like you (I don’t even like you)
You think I’m gonna let you ruin my night?
You don’t have a right to.
If you’re the thorn that’s in my side
I’ll just grow right beside you
And from the excrement beneath me
I will rise
And you can watch me
With your beady little eyes
As your shitty little guts
Rot from the inside
And fertilize me
It actually feels kind of nice
