I wish you could see in me the things I see in you I wish I could believe that the things you've said are true 'Cause they look so great in writing but you never follow through Each passing day is biting at my ankles I've got to start making moves toward getting over you And I wanted this so badly I gave it my everything I scaled your walls But when I started to fall, you didn't catch me No you just left me laying on the ground (Loosen your lips and start sinking ships; don't let anybody know) I wish you would look at me the way I look at you But I'm starting to realize that there are things you'll never do like hold my hand or kiss me with others in the room This love is mediocre but I'm just so consumed And I wanted this so badly I gave it my everything I scaled your walls But when I started to fall, you didn't catch me No you just left me laying on the ground Shhh Quiet Don't let them know Shhhh Quiet We can't let anybody know

Four Months (slash) Not Another Teenage Movie 07:20

I woke up from a coma the other day Can someone please tell me how long I've been out? Was it a year or a month or a minute that I slipped away? It seems I might have left my memory on Cloud Nine I've got bruising on my insides I'm pulling shards of glass from my chest How am I alive? Wish that I could remember... "Wish that I could forget her" Wandering the streets in search of a friend I just can't fathom why I woke up alone Perhaps when they heard that I was on the mend they decided a girl in a coma's no use to them at all I've got bruising on my insides I'm pulling shards of glass from my chest How am I alive? Wish that I could remember... "Wish that I could forget her" Tell your sob stories to another girl Make me out to be whatever will win her over I'm still choking on your dust You still think you know what love is I've got bruising on my insides I'm pulling shards of glass from my chest How am I alive? Wish that I could remember... Wish that I could remember... I took a step into the sunlight Fuck your daydreams My future is here I'm moving on with my life Call me when you remember Call me when you forget her (slash) Doing heroin with sewing needles Getting high on Cuban cigars How the hell did I get here? I don't know who half of these people are Let's live out our favorite movie We can put all our favorite parts on repeat Now wouldn't that be sweet? Turn off your television Grace your eyes with something real like that polaroid picture of the night a thunderstorm shook our bunk beds Try to reconsider every fleeting thought you've ever had of me Now, what do you think? Well isn't it obvious? Ironical? Unfortunate and cruel? Isn't it funny how the people you don't care about in school can become your world in just a matter of minutes? Or how you hardly notice the difference? Living in faded instagram filters Trying to pass it off as real This is the age of robots but I yearn for something to feel Let's go back to that morning I left my banana peel on the asphalt then swore it wasn't my fault if the crowd went down (Down, spiraling down) (How did I get here? How did it start? I don't know who these people are) Downstairs, you looked at me Told me I was beautiful You told me that I couldn't have you Told me we were different souls I threw out that polaroid picture of the night a thunderstorm shook our bunk beds And it hasn't bothered me yet Well isn't it obvious? Ironical? Unfortunate and cruel? Isn't it funny how the people you don't care about in school can become your world in just a matter of minutes? Or how you hardly notice the difference?

He said: I like you, girl You got eyes like a graveyard I'm gonna show you the world and then I'm gonna break your heart You're probably used to this by now I know I can't be the first to wanna knock you down a notch So how low can you go, baby? She said: I like you, girl You're just like me I'm gonna take you out and see where it leads Let me tell you all the things you need to hear And then I'll strip you down 'cause I love the sound of your shallow breaths I'm gonna give you a little death How far can we go? Everyone who falls in love with me has got a price on my head I'm a walking testament to how many times a person can be destroyed And everyone who claims they love me always seems to forget I'm a walking land fill, baby Come dump your shit in my void That's what it's there for, right?

It's all fun and games in love until this funny little thing comes up It's my mood disorder--always fucking me over 'Cause the highs are high and the lows are endless I'm alone at night and nearly friendless But I don't mind keeping that circle small, as long as it's real 'Cause if you fall for me at my peak I can promise you in a week you'll change your mind Yeah if you fall for me at my peak I can promise you in a week you'll realize that I'm not your kind It's all fun and games in love until these funny little things come up like systematic racism abortion, or the climate crisis 'Cause I'm only sexy until I'm talking about consent Then you'll slap the angry black girl label on me even though I'm just passionate If I had a dollar for all who turned and ran upon learning I was a feminist Well maybe I could actually pay my rent 'Cause if you fall for me before hearing me speak I give you a fucking week before you change your mind Yeah if you fall for me, and we disagree and your counterarguments are weak my ability to articulate myself will break your spine But they fall for me, and fall for me And fall for me, and fall for me Do it all for me Still call for me If you can't walk with me then don't talk to me Yeah if you fall for me, give it a week I know you're gonna change your mind Don't fall for me Don't fall for me 'Cause I am not your kind

Hey girl! I live in a tent--can I get your number? A short life is one well spent, so I let death become her Have my cheap little gimmicks yet filled your eyes with wonder? Don't ask about all of the rocks that I've lived under You've never known a bad thing But I promise you will once you're through with me You've never witnessed the darkest part of humanity But you're about to see Hey girl, my eyes are like plague--what does it take to get at ya? Been known to leave a bad taste when my name graces your tongue I've mastered the art of stealing the air from your lungs Leaves you stunned Another hit n' run A stranger is in your bed doing strange things to your head So you better slow your roll, or you'll probably end up dead I know he holds you close at night But you can wrap your arms around yourself just as tight 'Cause at the end of the day, you've got to be on your own side I wish that I had smashed your guitar like you told everyone I did (told everyone the things you did and turned the blame on me) No, I did not get the chance to take away your everything Every shred of security, exactly like you did to me You choked me out You cut me deep To this day, I'm losing sleep I know you will never see the monster you will always be You've never known a bad thing like me But you're about to see

Me + You = PUKE 04:00

Even though I love you (ew) I really fucking hate you And I'd never, EVER take you back ...at least, that's where I'm at right now Let's just hope it lasts And even though I hate you, there's a part of me wondering why everyone leaves I think it's my tendency to attract insufferable assholes And I hate how every song is about you these days I hate that it's been that way for nearly a year 'Cause you don't deserve to be immortalized in my art But it's either this or get drunk as shit Most nights...it's both You don't deserve a rhyme You don't deserve these lines spat so eloquently in time I was a fool to ever think that you were worthy to be mine I'll be fine And even though I hate you and seeing your face makes me wanna puke I'm not unreasonable--yeah I can compromise You can have the Sheep And I'll take Latts--besides everything is always much cooler where I'm at Yeah I walk through the door and get drinks put in my hand Get celebrated for just being who I am You walk into a room and if there's not one, there's two different people that you've done dirty at some point You don't deserve a rhyme You don't deserve these lines spat so eloquently in time I was a fool to ever think that you were worthy to be mine I'll be fine And when I say I hate you I mean I FUCKING HATE YOU with everything I have I just hope it passes 'Cause the opposite of love's not hate--it's indifference Said the opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference And that's where I long to be
