You said that I was a nice place to visit but you would never want to live here So I build a home inside of my body and I'm never going to leave it I understand why you're tied to the past I'd never blame you for feeling it but I wish you'd make some space for me here in the present Winter finds us alone again I retrace steps, I internalise anything Throw myself at anything to keep myself warm throw myself at things that can only bring me harm I understand why you're tied to the past I'd never blame you for feeling it but I wish you'd make some space for me here in the present

Try Harder 02:09
It would be nice to think that most people are capable of doing good But history swiftly reminds me that this just isn't true Try harder Be the best version of yourself It's not that I hate you I just wish you were a little better You've got a microphone and audience now Say something clever Try harder Be the best version of yourself I don't want to know you anymore

Okay, Fine 02:39
Scrape your name clean off my bones I am learning how to be alone I stay out all night, I cause a scene I never think about what any of it means I imagine you and I as better versions of ourselves meeting at exactly the right time I imagine you and I ignoring each others' red flags for the rest of our lives Scrape your name clean off my bones I drag my body around this town like I own it I never look back, I force my way through I never break the rule of admitting that I miss you But I imagine you and I as better versions of ourselves meeting at exactly the right time I imagine you and I ignoring each others' red flags for the rest of our lives, and everything turning out fine

Bug Bites 02:15
Sometimes I wish that I could peel back the layers of my skin So I could be as beautiful to you as I was in the beginning But you deserve to know I think you're owed an explanation for this If you love me, let me go You know I never asked for any of this shit I want to be weightless I want to be shapeless but i want to be your type I said I want to see the good you see in me and you think one day I might. But you deserve to know I think you're owed an explanation for this If you love me, let me go You know I never asked for any of this shit

I get jealous of the silverware sitting in my kitchen drawer Oh, to have purpose to be shiny without flaws The apathy, it isn't really helping me But I'm still upset by most of the world that I've seen What should we do? So I'll have a coffee sit around in my underwear Contemplate the pointlessness of existence again The apathy, it isn't really helping me Because I'm still upset by most of the world that I see So what should we do?
6.
I'm so tired of men explaining to me the subtle difference between hate speech and irony To think that you think there's anything interesting about repeating the same old patterns It's just misogyny dressed up in a stupid leather jacket I can only roll my eyes so many times I can only hold my tongue so much I'm so tired of men taking up space in a way that makes others feel unsafe To think that you think I'm the one who's wrong to react It's just misogyny dressed up in a stupid leather jacket I can only roll my eyes so many times I can only hold my tongue so much And I am not your fucking mother I am not your fucking friend And I don't owe you a single goddamn thing

It's so hard to keep your feet on solid ground The city takes you in with open arms just to throw you around Are we hearing each other? Does it need to be yelled? And are we holding each other the way we need to be held? It's so hard to keep your feet on solid ground The city takes what it wants from you and then it spits you back out And are we hearing each other? Or does it need to be yelled? And are we holding each other the way we need to be held?

This is me giving up i guess I didn't even try my best I slept in, dropped the medicine ball Made myself sick from not caring at all You and I fundamentally will never be aligned But that's alright, you've got yours I've got my life, separate from you You and I are ends of the spectrum Not peas in a pod like the bystanders reckon You showed your colours Yeah I showed mine too Made myself sick from not caring at all You and I fundamentally will never be aligned But that's alright, you've got yours I've got my life, separate from you I will be better off, but lonely I don't hate you, i just miss you
