I never made amends
With those I dreamt I made amends with
I think if I count real life friends by now I've ended friendless
High school prom is the culmination of my high school experience
So I hope that I'm going to have a whole lot of fun outside of it
My best friend Michael wanted to have sex with me
I don't think our friendship got deeper than that
Sure he's talked to me when I'm feeling suicidal
But by now I feel like everybody has
And I hope in a few months that I'll go bowling
With friends previously way out of state
But just like no band ever tours in west virginia
I might have to settle with spending all my money on a plane
Can you bring edibles?
Can I survive outside the internet
Let's go to the aquarium
Am I appearing human yet?
High school graduation is the sum of my experience
So it's crazy that throughout the day I find myself enjoying it

I've never felt euphoria
I feel close when I'm objectified
But I want real euphoria
And I am just being fetishized
G6 Em C D
When you get all your affirmation
Through sexual confrontations
And validation of distant strangers
You've got quite the road to cross
When dating doesn't start with words
And physical presentation comes first
Before I even say a word I feel like giving in
G6 C Am D
When I accomplish my goals
Who will I impress but myself?
Who will celebrate if anyone
If anyone at all?
And car rides are for thinking about this shit and trying not to crash
And now hallways feel like traffic
Think about shit and try not to crash

Weird Peg
I can push it
I can feel like I've never learned
Basic composition of shapes
Okay
Weird Peg
I've been cramming
Myself into places that I never seem to fit in
Without bending different ways
I've got corners pushing lungs and I can't stay
I've got rounded edges, medicated, safe
I've going to spiral in a hundred different ways
And I'm never gonna fit till someone stronger makes the change
I'm going to start going to the gym
Because I promised I would go the gym
No matter how many times I have to show my skin
Okay I'm glad I never make the things I say promises

I don't know why
But I get pissed off and sit still for hours at a time
I don't know why
I'm obsessed with bathing every day or not taking one for five
Oh, love love love
I got a soda in the fridge
That's been exciting me more than anything is
Can talking to you make me feel a little bit
Like I didn't sleep at 3 and wake at 6
I don't know why
But I drink mountain dew at 3 am like it's warm milk
I don't know why
But I do nothing but kill in vain when there's time to kill
Never have enough
I am quite the petty thief
Petty shit like donuts and a spoonful of ice cream
It was just yesterday I tried to in my dreams
Maybe to feel better I should try for better things

You know that I love you
You know that I'd kiss you
I wish we had meetings
I'd be able to miss you
But we can't have a special night
No matter how much times we try
I thought of dinner over internet
Microwave food and candles lit
Paper plates and lights turned dim
Try to add a colored tint
But cameras hide romantic light
And screens desaturate your eyes
So I can't be the light at the end of the tunnel
Love yourself, love someone else
But I can't be the end goal
I'll love you forever, but by the time that we're together
Everything will might have changed
And some things might be out of place
I thought of movies over internet
Microwave popcorn against our chest
And diet pepsi soda cans
Like the theater in intent
But we can't leave while suns go down
Echo laughs and windy sounds
I thought of touch over internet
It sounds great, but it's pretend
So I just sit here in my bed
And DIY the feeling, it's
Hard when you're not next to me
Hard when you're just texting me
And even when I see your face
It's hard to feel direct with me
So I can't be the light at the end of the tunnel
Love yourself, love someone else
But I can't be the end goal
I'll love you forever, but by the time that we're together
Everything will might have changed
And some things might be out of place
