Kiss Like That
02:27
|
|||
|
where did you learn to kiss like that?
oh this bed's so big, we could practically live in it
these blankets will protect us from the outside world
if only for a minute and
we got pizza rolls and swedish fish
and three bottles of three dollar wine and
as long as the rain doesn't stop
we can live this way for the rest of our lives
i'd love to see you again
i'm tired of feeling on the outside looking in
i'd love to see you again
and if you asked me
to be yr girlfriend i'd say gladly
i'd love to see you again
oh my boyfriend's fighting with her boyfriend
in the other room and i can hear them cry
it makes me want to die
how ya gonna turn around and look at me
and tell me everything's alright?
yeah everything's alright
and what's to stop me from driving my car
into the hudson river anyway
is anything okay?
i can hear the slamming door
i feel like i'm in portland again
where did you learn to love like that
i can die right here and i'd honestly welcome it
can i have another cigarette?
i'll turn out the light
and that can be the end of it

you said you've never seen the ocean
you said you've never seen such a pretty thing
i can see the moon's reflection
off of your skin, such a pretty thing
when you kiss me i disintegrate
i'm devastated that yr so far away
but you dont believe in miracles or love or fantasy
and i exist inside yr phone
and you live in a dream
its static electricity
its goosebumps, butterflies all over me

John the Goatman
02:34
|
|||
|
i wake up every morning with an unshakeable feeling of dread
picked a bad time to find my inner light
oh god forgive me
my girlfriend's lungs are fucked and if she catches corona
i dont know if she'll make it
and if i punch myself in the head enough times
will you finally leave me?
john the goatman tells me
if you write enough songs then some of them
eventually have to be good
john the goatman tells me
its okay to have emotions and a gun
and to hate the one yr with
i know a conversation
definitely needs to be had
i dont know what i need to say
for my words to get through to you this time
put away yr staple gun and for god's sake
put a sheet on yr bed
we can sing our songs to the seven people
who havent cancelled us yet
john the goatman tells me
if you write enough songs then some of them
eventually have to be good
john the goatman tells me
its okay to have emotions and a gun
and to hate the one yr with
and i just hope you make it
cause somebody's gotta go fight the war
and somebody's gotta make you breakfast

Try Yr Hardest
04:11
|
|||
|
seems like a good night
to pick off all my scabs until they bleed
and i believe we are fucked
beyond the stretch of anyone's imagination
and in the morning
i'll make a cup of irish breakfast tea
it beats coffee and it wont destroy my colon
and it wont ever betray me
which is more than i can say for you
i wish that you would leave
leave me alone forever
yr not just gna walk out of this
its gna be long and hard and drawn out
and it'll only be exacerbated by the pandemic
yr not gonna walk out of this
i am terrified to hurt him
but i know i have to hurt him
try yr hardest
you've survived everything so far
why would this be any different?
try yr hardest
the morning after
i'll beg to be restored to sanity
and i'll be grateful that
the faggots in the sky answered
the call that god left hanging
yr not just gna walk out of this
its gna be long and hard and drawn out
and it'll only be exacerbated by the pandemic
yr not gonna walk out of this
i am terrified to hurt him
but i know i have to hurt him
try yr hardest
you've survived everything so far
why would this be any different?
try yr hardest
and i know its not forever
but its really ugly right now
try yr hardest
you've survived everything so far
why would this be any different?
try yr hardest

Dynamix

waving my dick at the city of philadelphia
it's five in the morning
the shimmer of the buildings illuminate the scene
there's a cautious optimism
as i look out yr window
you come up behind me
and wrap yr arms around my naked chest
and i don't know just what to do
because i think i'm falling in love with you
and i don't know just what to say
because i know you don't see me that way
what's a dyke to do?
i see the sun rising above the new jersey turnpike
as i drive north
i'm taken by the orange and pink behind the skyline
of old new york
i know i only beat the traffic by twenty minutes
i'm thankful you entertained the dynamic
the very best you could
and i don't know just what to do
because i think i'm falling in love with you
and i don't know just what to say
because i know you don't see me that way
what's a dyke to do?
i'll always be a fool for you
i'd even bet my estrogen that
you wish you could've let me in
what's a dyke to do?

Redacted

i gave you the last of my wine
and u smoked me out and it felt so fine
but you don’t like to party on the weekends
and I just wanted you to be my boyfriend
and I knew I couldn’t love that water sign
and I knew I would fuck this up this time
but I would travel round the world
to be alone with you
nobody said it’d be easy
but [redacted] you are so CUTE
I’m obsessed with the things you do
but you should never have to choose
between me and yr peace of mind
[redacted] what more can I say
I hate to see you look that way
i’ll never win this game you play
and i’ll never see u again

Stardust Returns
03:49

you are better than this blank page
you are capable of incredible things
you are kind, giving, and considerate
you're so cute and what a relief
we fit just like a puzzle piece
oh our bodies won't hurt us anymore
and i think that youre right when you say
we are stardust returning to itself
and i'm in hell
i feel my heart inside my throat
and short of breath with my eyes closed
at the thought of getting to be close to you
i'm falling deeply, so completely
in the light of the half moion, i hope youll meet me
we can dance barefoot on the beach
and i think that youre right when you say
we are stardust returning to itself
and i'm in hell
and i think that youre right when you say
we are angels
and i think that youre right when you say
we are stardust returning to itself
and i'm in hell
i think that i'm right where i'm supposed to be
my angel

you asked me to see the show with you? how cool.
you just got published and dropped out of school?
HOW COOOOOOOOOL!!!!!
and i was dressed in black and so were you
i did all of those things you asked me to
i was never COOOOL enough
for you to want to be seen with me
and i put meat loaf on yr mixtape
you just sat and laughed at me
but oh how did it even get this way?
when yr just gonna leave me anyway?
i'm sorry anastasia that i stole yr dress tonight
i wanna be the girl that all the boys will like
if they knew me they would know i'm not their type
i hope you know what i mean
at the show you took me to the rooftop
and you kissed my neck
you held my whole heart in yr hands
and i thought you'd treat it with respect
but it never made any sense to me
how you could fall in love and out so easily

ever want to believe so bad in the basic decency of people?
my eyes are butterfly kisses with stars in the middle
thank god (5x)
i found my blessed Gift Of Desperation
before i let my poison finish the job
before i let it do what it came to do
thank god.
i know that you didn't ask for any of this
but the suns in yr eyes
and yr house is a mess
and yr husband's a cop
and yr just grateful
yr just grateful that you have a place that you can live at all
its just not the kind of thing that you wish to happen
thank god.
