safe

I've been trying
getting no sleep and I struggle with eating
I've been crying
echo chambers keep in screaming
so call me your friend
emotionally available to offer healing
but you've been mad
you should have known better when you got your reading
don't stay awake
things have been bad since you lost your mother
your father was a snake
had you wandering through the town like you love somebody
said you know what it's like to stitch yourself
had a life saving operation when you were twelve
and you kept things safe
yeah you've always been safe, I can't say I blame you
the kids are alright
we played with fire and learned from the burning
but keep us in sight, there's creatures in the night

you're so cool

I met a rockstar, yeah I met her one time
with the bright blue jumpsuit fresh off the iron
she's a whisperer of dogs when she's talking to the boys
'cause she only gets the sick ones barking for her love
tell me how your dad was a bad, bad man
fell in love with sally and he kicked you to the can
but you bury it down underneath your new jacket
tell me where you got it 'cause you know nobody asked you
you're so cool 'cause you really know it all
brand new trends got you keeping up, keeping up
world's so gone but all you want to hear is "you're so cool"
you're so cool
Andy has tears 'cause there's oil in the ocean
jack stopped crying 'cause he lost all his emotions
Jeff built a business on the backs of other people then he made a billion dollars and he fucked mother nature
people need help but it's easier to scroll past
faking activism in the form of "I believe that"
nice shoes, nice hair, keeping up with fashion
only have opinions if you know they're going to back them
you're so cool 'cause you really know it all
brand new trends got you keeping up, keeping up
world's so gone but all you want to hear is "you're so cool"
you're so cool
you're so cool 'cause you really know it all
brand new trends got you keeping up, keeping up
world's so gone but all you want to hear is "you're so cool 'cause you know you're not the problem"
we'll float past it all
sirens lure me off
'cause I don't want to know the darkness of the world
I could leave it all behind
you're so cool
you're so cool
you're so cool
you're so cool
you're so cool 'cause you really know it all
brand new trends got you keeping up, keeping up
world's so gone but all you want to hear is "you're so cool" 'cause you know you're not the problem

it's ok to be lonely
03:35
|

life's okay, I'm looking backwards through the wrong side of the screen
it's a lifetime show for freaks
and watch your pace, I'm laughing loudest when I want to walk away
it's performative and sheen
let's meet for drinks, let's try to be social
but when I leave I know I've met no one
I wish someone had told me it's ok to be lonely
let's get involved without an ounce of love
it's scarier to be alone than here with me
and stay for years
it's not a good spot but I've found somewhere to be
a complacent kind of peace
and we won't have to think while we're touching
but when we kiss you know it means nothing
I wish someone had told me it's ok to be lonely
you're not estranged they're just boring
there's not a person worth knowing
it's fine, we're overextended
don't smile, you're only pretending
I wish someone had told me it's ok to be lonely

happy anniversary
03:00
|

you don't, you don't have to keep up, keep up
you've been trying to be one of the boys, trying to be one of the boys
you know, you know I can't keep up with you
because I've never been one of the boys, I've never been one of the boys
we don't need a lot of things
but gothic cliques and diamond rings
spend my money for the world to see
on this happy anniversary
I can't, I can't stay glam I tried my hand at feeling better in my clothes
but I've never been one of the girls, I've never been one of the girls
my voice, my voice, mixed with a little bit of timing and my choice, oh you know I wish I was one of the girls
god I wish I was one of the girls
we don't need a lot of things
but gothic cliques and diamond rings
spend my money for the world to see
on this happy anniversary
we don't need a lot of things
but gothic cliques and diamond rings
spend my money for the world to see
on this happy anniversary
stand your ground 'cause the heartbreak's coming
in a cruel world you've got to make your own loving
cool, keep it cool, baby keep on stunting
all these kim's with fake diamonds try to kick you off the runway
we don't need a lot of things
but gothic cliques and diamond rings
spend my money for the world to see
on this happy anniversary
you know, you know, I can't keep up with you
because I've never been one of the boys
I've never been one of the boys

old friend
03:05
|

|
I'm thinking 'bout you in the front porch light
zipped up my coat before we went outside
you chased your breath in the foggy night
sometimes we still talk but you seem so shy
so let's just act like we don't have the time
but I'd come over to apologize
I'm in your city only for the night, we could go to that bar that you swear you don't like
she calls me old friend
I call her old friend
yeah she's my old friend and nothing more than that
hey I just picked up a bottle of wine
I drink too much so could you help this time
I'll split it with you in the moonlight
set out a towel and hope the bugs don't bite
I'll buy a house before I'm 25 if I get lucky from the songs I write
I think you'd look good by my fireside
we could talk in the morning if we time it right
she calls me old friend
I call her old friend
yeah she's my old friend and nothing more than that
but now I'm stumbling through the streets alone
I thought I'd hear from you weeks ago
I'll probably see you when you get back home
haven't met your new boy, I bet I like him though
I'm dry heaving in an empty bed
tied a rope to you and split the ends
I'll never have the chance to make amends 'cause
I'll never be more than your old friend

thinking about forever
04:21

daddy hit me just the other day while we were in a different state
I always knew he wanted to swing at me
well mom told me that he lost his way, remembers all the better days
he used to be a better man I heard
and I'll stop thinking about forever
well mom told me that she's going to stay, she said she's always had a dream
fight for love until you meet your end
but I know she's too scared to leave 'cause daddy robbed her of everything
oh people never change, and love was made to break
and I'll stop thinking about forever
