The Offering
00:51
|

I wish I could be the better person
It was not my intention to be so cruel
I wish I could be the better person
Someone you were proud of who brought out the best in you
But I am all I can offer you
I am all I can offer you

Toxoplasmosis
03:36
|
|||
I have a new preoccupation
Constantly requesting validating
I want to escape from myself
I want to be somebody else
You cut my hand just because you could
But you apologized like I knew you would
All the ways to love someone
All the ways this could go wrong
I can’t give you what you want but what you need.
People say it’s a disease. You’re part of me.
I love waking up to you
I love waking up to you
I met you in September in the dog days of the summer
The full moon was in Taurus, and our whole life is before us
I love waking up to you
I love waking up to you
I’m not one for declarations
Constantly inviting complications
I wish I was someone else
I wish I was the one you loved
Yeah you’re in my head and i love the sound
Nervous waiting home for you when you’re on the prowl
I’m aching with new confusion
Can’t you see what you’ve done
I can’t give you what you want but what you need.
People say it’s a disease. You’re part of me.
I love waking up to you
I love waking up to you
I met you in September in the dog days of the summer
The full moon was in Taurus, and our whole life is before us
I love waking up to you
I love waking up to you
In the night, in the night
I call out, call out to you
In the night, in the night
I come back, come back, come back, come back you
I love waking up to you
I love waking up to you
I love waking up to you
I met you in September in the dog days of the summer
The full moon was in Taurus, and our whole life is before us
I love waking up to you
I love waking up to you
I love waking up to you
I love waking up to you

I know you hate honest conversation
You don’t let me believe what I am saying
Everything I thought was mine
Suddenly became your right
I hold your judgment like a reflex
You won’t admit you love the damage
Everything I thought was mine
Suddenly became you right
You said that I’m so unkind
But how do you even sleep at night?
Why are you so loud when you don’t know what you’re talking about
Why are you so loud when you don’t know what you’re talking about
Why are you so loud when you don’t know what you’re talking about
Why are you so loud when you don’t know what you’re talking about
I know I need constant validation
You told me what I do is unimportant
Everything I thought was mine
suddenly became your right
I loath, failed at self preservation
You hold just so you can control emotion
Everything I thought was mine
Suddenly became you right
You said that I’m so unkind
But how do you even sleep at night?
Why are you so loud when you don’t know what you’re talking about
Why are you so loud when you don’t know what you’re talking about
Why are you so loud when you don’t know what you’re talking about
Why are you so loud when you don’t know what you’re talking about
Save your breath
I can’t bleed anymore
Save your breath
You’ve blown yourself off course
You define my obligations
And deny my devastation
What did you even want with me
Besides to pull my parts off clean
I know you love humiliation
You don’t know you’re good at manipulation
Why are you so loud when you don’t know what you’re talking about
Why are you so loud when you don’t know what you’re talking about
Why are you so loud when you don’t know what you’re talking about
Why are you so loud when you don’t know what you’re talking about

What A Shame
02:31
|
|||
Oh, what a shame! I would have taken your name
I would’ve driven down the boulevard, bought those cigarettes
That you never really wanted, and this wasn’t what you wanted
But we tried just in case I’d change my face
Oh, what a shame! I would have faded away
I would have been the guillotine to my own self esteem
And just faded to the dust and melded to the rust
And you never liked what I had to say
Oh, you wanted so much!
And oh, it was never enough!
Oh, you wanted so much!
You wanted so much!
You wanted so much!
And it always had to be a certain way!
Oh, what a shame! We had to play these games
And I held up a knife to your terrified eyes
To show you that there’s more than this and you can do more than this
And you’re not exactly who you say you are
Oh, what a shame! You thought I soiled your name
And I’ll go down in history as the bitch of misery
But you’re a condescending hypocrite, conforming to your difference
And you never liked what I had to say
Oh, you wanted so much!
And oh, it was never enough!
Oh, you wanted so much!
You wanted so much!
You wanted so much!
And it always had to be a certain way!
We were a lost cause
We were a lost cause
We were a lost cause
We were a lost cause
Oh, what a shame!
Oh, what a shame!!
Oh, what a shame!!!
Oh, what a shame!!!!
Oh, you wanted so much!
And oh, it was never enough!
Oh, you wanted so much!
You wanted so much!
You wanted so much!
Oh, you wanted so much!
And oh, it was never enough!
Oh, you wanted so much!
You wanted so much!
You wanted so much!

It Means Something
03:54
|
|||
I threw my guitar across the room, it’s a metaphor
And the worst nights of my life have always been because i wanted more
And this has been a miserable year
Someone I loved said that i’m not enough and my songs are unrelatable and weird
But it must have meant something
If it meant something to you
It must have meant something
If it meant something to you
And all this bitterness I let it sit to avoid an emptiness
And the quivering in my chest that it left almost bested my will to live
If I had to do it again I’d go back to November 5th
Conjure supernovas at a show on casa nova and tell you that you’re my friends
But it must have meant something
If it meant something to you
It must have meant something
If it meant something to you
I thought i was alone and then I met you and knew I never was
I thought i was alone and then I met you and knew I never was
So thanks for giving a shit, for your depth and your talents
For you reckless compassion and endless work ethic and for holding me when I needed it
Because i know it means something
If it means something to you
i know it means something
If it means something to you
i know it means something
If it means something to you
i know it means something
If it means something to you
Ahhhhhhh

Stay Alive
02:31
|

Holding back and holding on
I never thought I’d love some one
Like you
Like you
Compare neuroses until midnight
Tell you about the time I almost died
It’s a miracle that we’ve both alive
You say honey you look so fine
Tonight
Tonight
Oooo
Oooo
Holding back and holding on
I never thought I’d love some one
Like you
Like you
Mood ring says I’m dead inside
It’s a shallow breath for a deep dive
You’re the epipen to my beehive
You make me want to stay alive
Alive
Alive
Oooo
Oooo
You are exactly like me
And you are exactly like me
And I never thought that that would be the thing
That would make me love you IT MAKES ME LOVE YOU
Holding back and holding on
I never thought I’d love someone
Like you
Like
You make me want to stay alive

Crying At Taco Bell
02:10
|
|||
July 22nd, what a terrible day!
I was crying at the Taco Bell when you asked if I was okay
I wish I had met you later when I wasn’t so high strung
I told you I’m a nihilist as a defense mechanism
I heard you became an artist, writing prose in your space time
Me, I’m a regret careerist, forgetting I am presently alive
I wish I had met you later when you considered what you said
I hold the knocks to my chest like a compress on your eyelids
Some things never change
Every day is a terrible day
I’m still crying at taco bells
Ask me if I’m okay
Some things never change
Every day is a terrible day
I’m still crying at taco bells
Ask me if I’m okay
Ask me if i’m okay
Ask me if i’m okay

Biphobia
02:14
|
|||
I had a mouth of broken teeth
And you think nothing about me is very interesting
I was just holding on
To the places i’d come from
Nothing changes easily
And I thought that the past had defined it
But I guess I won’t mention it
In case you think I’m an idiot
Cause everybody knows
This is how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
This is how it goes
Everybody knows
Broken homes, compulsivity
Folding to the things holding me
And i wish i had a stronger will
Or that i could forgive myself
I wish i wasn’t so ashamed
And everything i said wasn’t a refrain
I failed when i was off the cuff
Cause you said that you heard enough
Cause everybody knows
This is how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
This is how it goes
Everybody knows
I’ll figure it out, I’ll figure it out
I’ll figure it out, I’ll figure it out eventually
I wasn’t enough, I wasn’t enough
I wasn’t enough of anything
But I’ll figure it out, I’ll figure it out
I’ll figure it out, I’ll figure it out eventually
I wasn’t enough, I wasn’t enough
I wasn’t enough

Don't Get It Twisted
03:31
|
|||
I don’t want to crash my car into your house anymore
And I don’t want to be the one who says your insecure
But don’t get it twisted
I still think you need some work
Don’t get it twisted
You're the one who made me worse
And I still hate you
I still hate you
Come to the night
Oh, you’re so right
Oh if you tried
And even if you died
I’d still hate you
You think falling in love will somehow solve all your problems
You’d rather buy a canvas than date a real-life person
But don’t get it twisted
I still think you need some work
Don’t get it twisted
Your the one who made me worse
And I still hate you
I still hate you
Come to the night
Oh, you’re so right
Oh if you tried
And even if you died
I’d still hate you
But don’t get it twisted
I still think you need some work
Don’t get it twisted
Your the one who made me worse
And I still hate you
I still hate you
Come to the night
Oh, you’re so bright
Oh if you tried
And even if you died
I’d still hate you

Halloween
00:56
|
|||
I don’t celebrate Halloween anymore
Even though it’s my birthday, which just means I’m Satan's whore
Drank too much dressed up as slutty Virgin Mary
My married friend tried to kiss me, and christians always hate me
I can’t have fun anymore without causing myself harm
I stumbled home and slept in my neighbors yard
There are so many shitty people dressed up as better people
So thanks for being nice when you found the Virgin Mary in your yard

Contracts
03:29
|
|||
You're planting a garden in the yard your parents bought you
Handing me some sunflower seeds, but that's not what I'm here to do
I rip up your turnips in a fit of aggravation
Why do you plant roots when you don't even want them
Who gives a shit about fireworks we say as we watch them
I bought you bedside tables, and you met my dad by accident
We lit up a fat joint despite my paranoia
When you said you couldn’t love me it was an annoyance
Tear up your contracts and your expectations
You can’t be alone but I think you’ve just learned to say that
Make up your mind
Make up your mind because it’s being made up for you
You said you'd make me breakfast, but you want me to leave
So I'm crying at the art museum staring at Modiglianis
With broad strokes and longnecks, he broke all the rules
But what does it matter if you don't tell the truth?
I drive to your house because you're scared you hurt my feelings
But you don't even know you're the one you are protecting
You can lie to me all that you want
But I hope this is something you will learn from
Tear up your contracts and your expectations
You can’t be alone, but I think you’ve just learned to say that
Make up your mind
Make up your mind because it’s being made up for you
I was hoping you’d be nice to me for the rest of July
I was hoping you’d be nice to me for the rest of July
I was hoping you’d be nice to me for the rest of July
I was hoping you’d be nice to me for the rest of July
Tear up your contracts and your expectations
You can’t be alone but I think you’ve just learned to say that
Make up your mind
Make up your mind
Make up your mind

I clean you house you don’t let me live in
I clean you house you don’t let me live in
I clean you house you don’t let me live in
I clean you house you don’t let me live in
I don’t want to be here anymore
And you don’t really seem to care
But you don’t want a housewife
You just want a wife
But if this is what it’s like
I think i would rather
DIE
Blah blah blah
I clean you house you don’t let me live in
I clean you house you don’t let me live in
I clean you house you don’t let me live in
I clean you house you don’t let me live in
I don’t want to be here anymore
And you don’t really seem to care
But you don’t want a housewife
You just want a wife
But if this is what it’s like
I think I would rather
DIE
I have already built a home
You can’t bare to be alone
I want to go back to my home
You can’t bare the lose control
I have already built a home
You can’t bare to be alone
I want to go back to my home
You can’t bare the lose control//
You always said you want someone
You always said you want someone
But I am here//
I am here
I am here
AHHH

Wrapped Up
02:08
|
|||
It was gonna be a big night
I was looking just right
When my throat got real tight
And I let out a sad sigh
My sister says I could do better
But I always follow the same patterns
I feel like I’m such a fool
I could never resist you
Cause you’re wrapped up, and you always do your own thing
I’m hung up, and I’ll never hear the phone ring
I messed up, and I always make the same mistakes
I throw up, and it always seems to end this way
I never seem to think twice
All the pills were just fine
I never could sleep right
That’s why I’m so fucking nice
My sister says I could do better
But i always follow the same patterns
I feel like I’m such a fool
I could never resist you
Cause you’re wrapped up, and you always do your own thing
I’m hung up, and I’ll never hear the phone ring
I messed up, and I always make the same mistakes
I throw up, and it always seems to end this way
I just wanna to feel better
I just wanna to feel better
I just wanna to feel better
I just wanna to feel better
I guess I’m better off without you
You’re wrapped up, and you always do your own thing
I’m hung up, and I’ll never hear the phone ring
I messed up, and I always make the same mistakes
I throw up, and it always seems to end this way
Cause you’re wrapped up, and you always do your own thing
I’m hung up, and I’ll never hear the phone ring
I messed up, and I always make the same mistakes
I throw up, and it always seems to end this way

Fades To Black
03:44
|
|||
Took too long to realize
Your blood is just like mine
Everybody looked inside
And sat there mystified
I could not recall the story
But it’s drenched in common glory
History chides silently
I don’t remember anything
It all fades to black
It all fades to black
Everybody swears there’s something wrong
But I wish it wasn’t all my fault
Everybody swears there’s something wrong
But I wish it wasn’t all my fault
What the hell does this have to do with me?
All the things that you don’t want to believe
I was drunk at the archives
Just finding piece of mind
You don’t even know your crime
And I wish I could walk straight lines
Everybody is so high
What a way to feel alive
I end up just dead inside
The only way to hide
It all fades to black
It all fades to black
Everybody swears there’s something wrong
But I wish it wasn’t all my fault
Everybody swears there’s something wrong
But I wish it wasn’t all my fault
What the hell does this have to do with me?
All the things that you don’t want to believe
It all fades to black
It all fades to black
It all fades to black
It all fades to black
Everyone swears there’s something wrong
But I wish it wasn’t all my fault
Everybody swears there’s something wrong
But I wish it wasn’t all my fault
Everybody swears there’s something wrong
But I wish it wasn’t all my fault
Everybody swears there’s something wrong
But I wish it wasn’t all my fault
Everybody swears there’s something wrong
But I wish it wasn’t all my fault
What the hell does this have to do with me?
All the things that you don’t want to believe
It all fades to black
It all fades to black

Try
03:00
|
|||
I didn’t have a reason to dream of future seasons
Or even a good reason to leave the house
The square bugs on my balcony get caught up in my unmade sheets
And i haven’t seen you in six weeks and have nothing to talk about
Been thinking of the trying times and the easy ones I made so hard
Been thinking of the trying times and the easy ones I made so hard
I asked my mother if she was proud of me
And all she could muster is I am sometimes
And you are the challenger to be more profound
But all i could muster is I will try
Been thinking of the trying times and the easy ones I made so hard
Been thinking of the trying times and the easy ones I made so hard
Is it worse I am already trying my best
Is it worse I am already trying my best
Is it worse I am already trying my best
Is it worse I am already trying my best

I Remember
02:27
|
|||
I remember when we would walk together
Now I’m so bitter, I’m trying to get better
But you won’t give me anything to hold onto
It’s as if it’s nothing to hold onto
I remember when those opinions were mine
Now I steal them from the New York Times
I would say just anything to impress you
You act as if nothing could impress you
I remember everything you said
And I know how it feels when it hits my chest
And all my pent up anger has hardened to a cancer
And now I am so bitter but I know i’m getting better
At dismissing your entitlement, confronting my resenting
You said I could be anything, but you treat me like I am nothing
You said I could be anything, but you treat me like I am nothing
