Negatory 01:52
wanted to be awesome now I want to sleep all day wanted to be useful now I lay around ashamed wanted to be graceful never to be down wanted to be tasteful someone you could be around wanted to be awesome wanted to be good at heart wanted to be famous wanted to be taking part never to be fawning only to be nice working at a calling doing something with my life but, no. wanted to be healthy but I just want to sleep all day oh, but I’m trying! but there’s a world when I’m awake! wanted to be helpful not to be ignored wanted to be happy wanted to be moving forward but, no.

I guess that it’s a regret that we ever met at all sore lips and requests sent while the band played down the hall cue weeks of unread texts when I know you had your phone pointless to stay, pointless to go I met you out in your car while you stayed on the clock I tried to flirt with you but then just got you off and when I asked when you were free you said you didn’t know pointless to stay, pointless to go Netflix and cigarettes another night at home blanket up to my chest waiting for you to call four walls, then empty world the good life passed me by but the pillow I stole from your room will pass for you tonight the pillow I stole from your room will pass for you tonight the pillow I stole from your room will pass for you tonight the pillow I stole from your room will pass for you tonight the pillow I stole from your room will pass for you tonight

Big Lie 01:49
oh, the life I wanted didn’t work out well a nice apartment where I go to hide oh, unstable to be sure! but, oh, the lies that I would feed to her to make it work big lie of an impossible life where sickness and sadness slip away big lie oh but it’s mine for tonight a secret to keep myself at bay for one more day but now it’s my head now it feels like more than I can do to stay in bed and oh god every promise pressed more mistakes onto my chest and now there’s nothing I can do because I can barely move but I remember loving you when everything was building to a big lie of an impossible life where sickness and sadness slip away big lie oh but it’s mine for tonight a secret that sleeping could escape for one more day

how am I breathing tonight how am I keeping the pace in my heart the sensitive part of the body that you are completely degrading? and, is this how criminals come? out of the night with bouquets in their arms and charisma and charm until all of their victims are practically begging? I don’t think I wanted to dance but I will remember the name of the song and I’ll hum along fighting to withstand the flood of emotion but, god it is so hard when they play it in every bar “oh, pour me a new one,” I’ll say oh god what am I gonna do? scour my skin off to get rid of you? send out a search team to every party that I want to go to? I just want so badly to scream how did we get from you flirting with me for a dance and a drink into a nightmare I won’t be forgetting? I don’t think I wanted to dance but I will remember the name of the song and I’ll hum along fighting to withstand the flood of emotion and god it is so hard when they play it in every bar “oh, pour me a new one,” I’ll say

wake up weeping with my phone still in my face does the light from the window mean morning has come, or did I sleep all day? one more thumb through your photos then call your machine to listen to your voice and then I wade through your trash from a couple weeks back and there is nothing not yours no, there is nothing not yours and there is nothing of me but my hands on your pillow when you stay out all night oh, but I fell for it so hard oh, my sensitive psycho! I liked what you said, and I wanted you then, but now I don’t, I don’t - I don’t know still, I cling to my curtains, hide in my bedroom, and send a million messages: “i swear whatever I did I know I can fix it” because there is nothing not yours no, there is nothing not yours and there is nothing of me but my hands on your pillow when you stay out all night

Stupid 02:16
I feel you look like that. what is the difference between who you are and where I’m at? embrace: both hands cold, I feel the distance between our kissing coats, and I know why. I ask, you don’t reply. why bother talking when we both know that he’s outside? smile, laugh, start waving back. watching you kiss him through my new window while I unpack. embellish my appointments embellish my CV exaggerate my interest in anyone still left here dumb enough to be nice to me what are they, stupid?
