Staples 02:29
lyrics
buy track
Find me at the bottom of the well, with all your staples on my back They give detailed instructions, but to read them I would break my neck I don't know what you thought would happen I don't know if you wanted more, but expect less, expect me dead Find me at the bottom of the barrel of caffeine, that works for me I am entirely made up of me if I am what I eat Self traumatizing, I still see the IV Self harming for attention, what am I, am I fucking sixteen? What did you expect? For them to fall to their knees? Begging and praying, for them to finally say please? Just like a movie you painted a picture of the scene With the music in the background played entirely by, you guessed it, me!

Draining, Draining 02:21
lyrics
buy track
I am broken, I am evil Beneath me, is me, and that's the worst thing there could be Transplant my organs, brain and heart To a trash can, cause I could turn a 5-star hotel room into a prison cell I could manage to make my independence my own personal hell While codependence kills me, and being parasitic hurts me as well Oh Calm down, it's just The end of the world It's your fault that you're not a girl Everything screaming in my ear doing the best it can To kill me, to see me die I could turn a 5-star hotel room into a prison cell I could manage to make my independence my own personal hell While codependence kills me, and being parasitic hurts me as well

Cause I'm too old for this song I'm too old for these thoughts I'm too old to not have this figured out I'm too old for this song I need to punch the wall I need to scream I need to run away I need to think I need to breathe, I need to sleep all day Too young and stupid Too old to be useless Too young to question Too old to not know this Too young to function Too old for autistic Too young to live alone Too old for codependence

Ice Pick 01:49
lyrics
buy track
Your voice is an ice pick Chip chip chip away Your voice is an ice pick Chip chip chip away I say nothing, I say everything, it always ends up the same Your voice is an ice pick Chip chip chip away Sitting in the car Hoping nothing changes Driving very far Calculating distance I say nothing, I say everything, I'm doing everything I can Your voice is an ice pick Picking at sinking sand Going to the mall Hoping nothing changes Walking kinda far Calculating distance Creating a wishlist Not laughing at jokes that missed Conversating littlest Terrified he's losing it I say nothing, I say everything, I'm not very good with plans Your voice is an ice pick Doing all the damage it can

$30 Something 02:17
lyrics

I'm tired of only looking good at certain angles if you're trying To make up for, to make up for something People looking to experiment I'll let them test me out Am I worthy now? 30 dollars in the wishing well I can't help myself Can you call me by my name again Light the spark a little longer, so I don't forget Can you scream it out loud while we're having sex So I don't forget This is how I live 30 dollars in the wishing well I can't help myself 30 dollars in the wishing well I can't help myself

No Words 02:15
lyrics
buy track
I don't need to defend myself today I'll just stay quiet, I'll just stay out of your way Cause you've made up the truth in your mind, and it's real for today I don't give a shit, you just keep thinking it today! I don't know where all of this came from I don't know where it's gonna go As long as you shut the fuck up before tomorrow So I'll come up with a subtle way to tell you to fuck off I could never tell you directly to fuck off Together we're so much less than productive Call me complicit, intentionally stupid I don't know where all of this came from I don't know where it's gonna go So I'll just ignore you until tomorrow But you'll do it again You want to tell all my friends You want to tell all the people that you don't consider real friends Cause I live in your head And I need a vacation But you have my keys And my medication I don't know where all of this came from I don't know where it's gonna go As long as you shut the fuck up before tomorrow

Cage With A Blanket Over It 03:22
lyrics
buy track
They locked me in a cage I don't know why, I don't know why They keep me far away Or at least it feels that way, at least it feels that way I'm so sorry, I don't know what to do I don't have much time, and I'm living in the dark, for half my youth And now the ground is shaking, and I can't tell what is outside I think something's trying to break the wall down and get inside All I can do is cry and shake until it goes away All I can do is scream, can they hear me, am I safe? I hear them fighting, I hear them laughing, everything from my own world I see them in the dark sometimes, but there's no words, they just begin to swirl Can I come outside, do they hear me? Where am I? I don't understand it, I don't understand why And now the ground is shaking, and I can't tell what is outside I think something's trying to break the wall down and get inside All I can do is cry and shake until it goes away All I can do is scream, can they hear me, am I safe?

Professional Photo 03:28
lyrics
buy track
Don't smile for the picture You want to look your best So stand up straight and look straight ahead Blank eyes, easier to dye Dried tears, a template wiped clear For slider adjustments, hey hey Which hand behind the curtain took the spots off of your face? You don't know, all you know, is that something weirdly changed They made you slightly different in a way that feels ashamed Of how you looked before the curtain closed, and money went away Isn't it amazing how much we can erase? Isn't it magic, how standards always raise? Isn't it beautiful, that a picture of you can be changed? Isn't it true talent, to make you look okay!? Don't smile for the picture, wear a suit, wear a tie Tighten it, till you're choking and you barely feel alive Feel the pressure of acceptance and the heat of normalized Feel the light perfectly toned up high, for later adjustments Blank eyes, easier to dye Dried tears, a template wiped clear For slider adjustments, hey hey

Fork In A Socket 01:55

You make my hair stand out in a thousand ways! You send waves of whispers to my brain Telling me to do a million different things And all of them seem stupid! You make me explode, yeah, you kill me! You make me have something to say, but out comes nothing! F6 F8 F7 Now my teeth have no use, and my tongue is tied too! I'm a pretzel of nothing that I offer you! Fork in a socket! Kill me slowly Nuke me, baby Kill me slowly, fork Please destroy me I'm your lady Kill me quickly, fork Fork in a socket!

Bathroom Finale 01:45
lyrics

People on both sides of the room There's crowds of them, with none a good reason to use I am naked I am naked How long till a spotlight shines on me You're being a creep I've been through some of the best selections I've ever seen And having empty hands when I leave People on both sides of the room With ways to judge I never even knew you could do A wall in between I can't break I am naked

Melting @ 2 02:22
lyrics
buy track
Thinking of dropping out And running away with you Thinking of your hands in my hair Running them through Thinking that your voice is so cute Mumbling your name at 2 Cause I've found a little spark I've found it in you When I feel myself melting at 2 There's a lovely little poison cloud around us And I think you've got a lovely little laugh And every time I hear it I breathe a little bit more in I love to make you laugh I wanna hear you laugh again

(Bottom of the) Food Chain 01:17
lyrics
buy track
Capo 3 E Am D Am Shit, I'm gonna have less than 80 dollars in my bank account after rent I need to spend less, I need to make a few calls, I need another job, to uproot my life again Move into another apartment when I learn to drive Keep the rent around 500 a month split between me and some guy Cause I have friends with zero or less They make it work, things still happen Cause I have friends who work more for less They make it work, cause they're more advanced I am the bottom of the food chain Swallowed by myself And my lack of understanding of everything around I am the bottom of the food chain Swallowed by no wealth, no health, no self
