Only So

Maybe they like me tired
I can do that for them
When my eyes cross
I feel so lost
If I keep it in
Now it’s day time
And I’m leaving home
To try something new
Why’d I feel like I’m a liar?
Well I said nothing true
There’s only so much ti-ime I’m willing to waste
There’s only so much destruction that I can take
It’s a tuesday
I’ve been out late
Thinking about home
I know that you’re not the talking type
But I thought you’d grown
The world’s on fire, I’ll leave the light on
I want to sleep in the day
I’d rather be lost than a loner
Wish I had a choice any-way
There’s only so much I can take of this destruction
Though I have it down, maybe you see how much I’m broken
I want you back, I want my family around me
I want you back, I want my family around me
I want you back, I want my family around me

Confident and Kind
03:01

Standing up on a wall
You’re looking 7 feet tall
I want to stare up your nose
Like I wrote a year ago
I’m wearing shorts for the first time in life
Feeling confident and cute confident and kind
Confident and cute confident and kind
Confident and cute and present in my mind
Learned I’m allergic to pollen
Was stuck in my bed
Drained of all energy, pressure in my head
Went to the salon to treat myself
Searching for a way to restore my health
But they charged me 500, I feel like a dud
What narcissistic treat, as the world is depleted
I paid 500 dollars to silken my hair
I feel awful, so much for self care
I should in my bedroom, shave it off again
Since I’m moving away, maybe you’ll forgive me
For getting caught up in the Los Angeles envy
Having short hair as a femme 2019
Feels like I don’t know my body
Feels like I am just nobody
Unless I have some silky soft hair down my back
Standing up on a wall
You’re looking 7 feet tall
I want to stare up your nose
Like I wrote a year ago
I’m wearing shorts for the very first time in life
Feeling confident and cute confident and kind
Confident and cute confident and kind
Confident and cute and present in my mind

Asshole

I don’t really mind it when the looks are deceiving
You wanted me to stay
Laying on the ground, you’re wrapped up tight, silver sheening
Ready to complain
It’s been a fucked up day
But, if I always dick around in the morning,
Will I be an asshole?
While I’m laying on the ground in the morning
I want to see your asshole
I can’t find all the socks I want
I think I had packed some
They’re hidden all around me
Tucked up under the carpet
And I want to motivate
Some movement
And some play
You’re looking pretty happy,
I can tell in your eyeballs
Shining, as you’re glancing over at me
And I wish I could sing it all away
A sorry every day,
Keep them coming, I can’t feel anything anyway
But, if I always dick around in the morning,
Will I be an asshole?
While I’m laying on the ground in the morning
I want to be an asshole
If I always dick around in the morning,
Will I be an ass hole?
While you’re sitting on the ground in the morning
I want to see your ass hole
Can I see your ass hole?

Maybe I'm Bitter

If I were an actor
I’d cut off all of my toenails
And put them inside a jar
Tell them it’s magical
To be somebody else
To make up someone else’s protein
I don’t need anything
I, I don’t need anything
In the reflection
I thought I looked sixteen years old
In the distance,
You’re lying in a circle on the floor
Your toes touching your head, your limbs wrapped around, open spread
I thought that I liked it,
But, I’m realizing maybe I don’t
You might not notice
Seems like I’ll always stick around,
But, this dog bites me
I don’t think he likes me
I think that he doesn’t like me
I don’t think he likes me
I think he doesn’t like me
As I’m getting older,
Noticing how I start to change,
Maybe I’m bitter
Maybe I’m meant to be insane
I can’t pack my suitcase,
I feel like there’s cotton in my brain,
Maybe I’m dreaming
Maybe I’ll go to sleep again
But you said
You’re using me
For all of my resources
I’m useful, so use me
And maybe I am, I am, I am, I am
But, in Afro Funk class,
Jessica says to channel strength,
Courage, and Confidence
And, hey, that reminds me,
I think you don’t like me,
I think that she doesn’t support me
And I know what love’s like
I’ve made friends like family
And I deserve better,
I’m sick of the toxins in my life
So I’m trimming the weeds out,
I’m trimming the weeds that take, take, take,
And you don’t ever call me,
You don’t seem to notice that you’re fake
I think I don’t like it
I don’t think like it
I think I don’t like it
I think I don’t like it

Close Behind
05:42
|

I’ve been banging round, but I want nothing more
I would like nothing more than to be waiting, right
You keep me right, you keep me close behind
I could never lie to you, I could never lie
I’m turning sour in the patches, like a sour kid
I am feeling crystalized and sugary, but painful
They are hanging on the walls, feeling fine, feeling nothing at all
They have no sense of anything,
You’re sitting there looking mighty fine, wearing leopard and some lime
I know that I’ve always loved you and you feel it
Somehow I can tell that you can feel it well, you can feel me loving you,
I want you to, I want you too
Now I know that it seems
Like a dream
I, think it’s part of the way you misbehave, clearly
You could keep me closer so I walk away
But I have nothing left
I have nothing left
I like it when you take it in your stride
I’ve got it for a while, I’ve got it for awhile
But, you keep me close, you keep me down
You keep me down, you keep me down
You tell it to the back and I wanted it out
I wanted nothing left to do with this mess
I keep your basketball on the shelf so I can look in it
I see your face in it
I see your face in it
I see your face in it
I see your face in it
I keep it down when I’m feeling tired
I want you next to me, I want you next to me
I’ll keep it down, I’ll keep you close behind
I’ll see your face in me,
I’ll see your face in me,
I see you next to me,
I see your face in me
