the curious ocean laps at my knees,
and my hair has gone wild in the curious breeze
sometimes I can feel the stars writing on me,
and telling me I'm not quite where I should be
and I just want to break free
from the stone cold gaze
of irony
step into the water,
don't hold back 'cause you're somebody's daughter
age with care
age with care
can't you see the lines
they turn to faults with just a shift
if you push me I will crumble
and the faults are all that's left
do you like me now?
can't you hear the thunder
in the dampness of the night
hear it booming, pressures tuning
to the frequency of light
I'm not trying to be--
there's a part of me that wants nothing at all
there's a part of me always waiting to trip and fall
there's a part of me that wants nothing at all
there's a part of me always wanting to trip and fall
in november it's so quiet
'til the rain falls down on aluminum rooves
if you listen, you'll hear laughter
falling in rivulets
memories old and new
there's a part of me that wants nothing at all
there's a part of me always waiting to trip and fall
there's a part of me that wants nothing at all
there's a part of me...

lately I’ve been trying not to sleep
‘cause my dreams are so riddled with anxieties
& lately I’ve been trying hard to breathe
deep
‘cause
when my lungs fill
my heart slows
just enough to hear my soul scream
did you notice anything different?
have you noticed anything new--
right in front of you?
I know I’ve dreamt a train’s run off it’s tracks
but I’m so dissociated with current events
& I can smell the anger on your breath
it doesn’t matter
it doesn’t matter
is there
even
anybody left?
to notice anything different
have you noticed anyone new--
coming back for you?
& we’re all
stargazers
love makers
we’re our own undertakers
a devil child
grows up a ghost
and ain’t that just the way it goes
and goes
and goes
and goes
and goes
and goes
and goes
and we’re all ghosts
it goes
and goes
it goes
and goes
it goes and goes and goes and goes
did you notice anything different?
have you noticed anything new--
trapped inside of you?

good grief

over and over I'm stuck in my head
and it sucks in my head sometimes
over and over I roll in my bed
and it's 20 past 10
and my hips ache
my fucking hips ache every day of my
life
and yes I know I could just
go outside
why can't you just get over it?
nobody said
why can't you just get over it?
no, they're in your head
but I see it in their eyes
I hear it in their sighs
I feel it when they say:
you must do what I say
for eight hours a day
just to survive
I can be so damn mean
I can be so damn mean
I can be so damn mean to myself
I can be so damn mean to everybody else, too
I can be so damn mean
I can be so damn mean
we can be so damn mean to...
can we please just be kinder to ourselves?
can we please just be more mindful of our health?
can we please just be kinder to ourselves?
can we please just be more mindful of our health?
I dare you to dream tonight
I dare you to sing
I dare you to dream tonight
even if it hurts
I dare you to sing
even if it doesn't work
I dare you dream tonight
underneath the stars
I dare you to sing
like you're a fucking bard
I dare you to dream tonight
sink into yourself
I dare you to sing for you
and nobody else
over and over I'm stuck in my head
and it sucks in my head sometimes

what happens now
02:35
|

|
the TV keeps me company
says sex is sick and violence is the cure
it's funny, when you put it that way
I don't really wanna watch it anymore
oh the news on the radio says that
we'll all die, but we'll be fine if
we went to college
we might be acknowledged
tell me the truth
I'm old enough to hear it
and young enough
to still think it can change
what happens now
can't be put off 'til tomorrow
even when we choose to look astray
now happens anyway
how come I am so far removed from
the body I was given at my birth
I don't know about you, but
I struggle finding place upon this earth
tell me the truth
I'm old enough to hear it
and young enough
to still think it can change
from up in the clouds
it seems clear that we're surrounded
I hope you float

I bought myself new sheets
hoping it would help me sleep
here I am again
stripping velvet from my fingers
gripping ropes of sand
tessellated promises
the smell of death and cigarettes
it lingers
open a damn window, please
open the damn windows
here I go again
heaving softly over the edge
even old trees bend
have you been here recently?
thought I felt a heart beat
on the wind...
come, they are circling
step with them in time
stay for the tuning bell
just don't miss your ride
home
don't miss your ride home
