You are so much cleaner than me
You are so much cleaner than me
And you forget to help, but never fail to remind me
It's my fault, that I won't quit
It's your fault this started
Backwards
For the hours I spend smoking and drinking, I still believe in 15 minute showers
And I spilt words that stabbed your ears that dropped our selves in adjacent chairs, in a lavatory, that is starting to smell like money
And I spilt words that stabbed your ears that dropped our selves in adjacent chairs, in a lavatory, that is starting to smell like money
AND SHE (he) SAID
This is transaction my friend
What's with your fetish for commitment
This is my decision I'm afraid
She's (he’s) lying to me, she's (he’s) lying to me
She's (he’s) lying to me, she's (he’s) lying next to me,
She's (he’s) lying on top of me
She's (he’s) lying to me, she's (he’s) lying next to me,
She's (he’s) lying on top of me, she's (he’s) lying to me
You are so much cleaner than me
And you forget to help, but never fail to remind me
It's my fault, that I won't quit
It's your fault this started
Backwards
For the hours I spend smoking and drinking, I still believe in 15 minute showers
This is transaction my friend
What's with your fetish for commitment
This is my decision I'm afraid
She's (he’s) lying to me, she's (he’s) lying to me
She’s (he’s) lying to you
She’s (he’s) lying to you
She’s (he’s) lying to you
She’s (he’s) lying to you

I’m no longer afraid to fall asleep
Tomorrow’s a slut we can gag and tie up
No matter how diseased our love
As long as she's, chill with that
Red lines have no home on white thighs
Sharp knives have no place in bath time
I know you don’t decide most times
But I hope I never cause them
And I am so excited
To see what you accomplish
But I’m so afraid, of being outgrown
And my body has responsibilities, to the girls I meet
And my odds increase, every day your boyfriend doesn’t skate, when I underestimate
She said that I should stop and breathe
I’ll never want to be your true love SO STOP ASKING ME
Does anybody else want to be there for me, does anybody here wanna be there for me?
You know you're friends love you
I'm fairly sure it's more the pot, they get off you
Doesn't change the fact that I am not enough
At least not from your perspective
But I am so excited
To see what you accomplish
But I’m so afraid, of being outgrown
And my body has responsibilities to the girls I meet and my odds increase
Every time your boyfriend doesn't skate
When you underestimate
The lessons the abusive relationships have gave!
Bedrooms and
Blankets and
Bowl hits just
Be nice I'm
Trying x4
fuck this.

You can wear my favorite sweatshirt, if It smells like me if you want that, but it looks like you when you're angry, it's ugly
And I woke up in the dark again, I know you wanted to talk through the night but I slept your apostle, except I didn't even get to kiss you
I don't understand
How can I be falling behind
When I'm two drinks ahead
And I don't get it mans
Why would you leave me alone
I know I'm broken, but you know I'm yours
And there is not some tongue or some skin that would taste as good as the truth
And I don't know if you believe in love anymore but if you don't then I'm right there with you, dude I am lying next to you, like it's college
And though this couch is completely abandoned there are parts on it, where I sit and breathe and blame myself, still
Honey holds the papers together, but it couldn't hold us, still gives you the strength to say
I know you’re going to break up with me at the end of the semester, but I wanted to say thanks for hanging out, I thought that was really cool, it's ok if you're happiness no longer involves me
But I can’t find the ocean, without following you x4

Wake Up Love

There's a plant
By the window
That I always forget
Except, when it's dying, at least it understands
It's quiet in your room, I've learned to live with the silence, but it hurts that you have to, the same way I feel when you say there is nothing good in your life when I'm right here
And I need the light to make its way, up the blankets, onto your face, so we can go get breakfast and I can move my arm

I watched the truth bleed, fidelities died in front of me
My mouth mouthed death as her mouth mouthed the line between love and sex
But the milkbones leading to your bedpost, rose candles surround the tub
I know we're playing but with the water rising I feel like giving up
Not the first time I woke up flailing
I didn't recognize your basement
Or the movement at the top of the staircase
Nor thigh socks behind the railing
And the pictures that we took together
We tried to frame but they hung themselves faster
And at the graveyard she says, I hope mine has roses I hope mine has flowers
I try to forget the ruins, but memories are my remains
Cause in my head I'm still naked and nervous in your bedroom getting laid
I look at you, you breathe in, you glance at me, I pour out
Like several shots after a death cup, a cutting myself sort of opening up
Not the first time I woke up flailing
I didn't recognize your basement
Or the movement at the top of the staircase
Nor thigh socks behind the railing
And the pictures that we took together
We tried to frame but they hung themselves faster
And at the graveyard she says, I hope mine has roses I hope mine has flowers
You're getting changed on the first floor bathroom but
Putting on clothes, sounds so much like tears
The tag on my skin, 100% plastic
And underneath, definitely not diamonds
