Present Tension
02:14
|
|||
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

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

What Should We Do
01:52
|
|||
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?

Leather Jacket
02:55
|
|||
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?

Separate from You
03:22
|

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
