Our embraces
Last for ages
Never let me go
Won’t you you
Tie my laces
Pulling faces
While you walk me home
I’ll take the risk
I trust the story of us
Who’s writing this
All I know is I love us
Our embraces
Last for ages
Never let me go
Won’t you you
Tie my laces
Pulling faces
While you walk me home
It started and ended
Unfollowed unfriended
That stranger my favorite
We don’t speak I can’t explain it
Then one day your number
Woke us up from our slumber
We sat up remembered
In fact we never ended
Maybe love is punctuated
By our fears and bad memories
It’s just much less complicated
Than we think or
Than we make it out to be
Our embraces
Last for ages
Never let me go
Won’t you you
Tie my laces
Pulling faces
While you walk me home
My heart races (You and me again again again, never seem to separate)
Goodness gracious (Maybe coming to an end an end)
When you move towards me (then we come around again)
All situations (You and me again again again
Never seem to separate)
Communication (Maybe coming to an end an end)
I feel you adore me (Then we come around again)

Stupid Face

Honey I’m in pain
It’s been like this for days
Don’t have energy to
Play or
For your attitude today
I just can’t be blamed
For the things I might do or for
what I’m about say
Walk into the room
Like you think you own the place
In your stupid little suit
With your stupid little face
And you
stupid little move
In that stupid little way
Pushed me to my stupid limit and now i’m about to break
I’ve got 99 problems and you’re a bitch
Haven’t slept in weeks
Keep forgetting gotta eat
Growing bags under my eyes
I’m all hollow in my cheeks
And today I’m being tested
In the most horrific way
Turn around to see you standing there
Can’t help
what I’m bout say
Walk into the room
Like you think you own the place
In your stupid little suit
With your stupid little face
And you
stupid little move
In that stupid little way
Pushed me to my stupid limit and now i’m about to break
I’ve got 99 problems and you’re a bitch

Forget my birthday
It can happen I’ll be fine be okay
He’s just a boy and we all know
that they’re prone
to honest mistakes
I’ll go the miles if it’s late
But sitting on the train
I’m starting feel change
Like I’m removing the veil
I said he’s a shrimp he’s bozo
That’s he’s a flake that he’s a no show
Now I look back at every photo
Just see a snake just see a mofo
It’s just the bar is set so damn low
That there’s no more space
For us to go
You shrug your shoulder saying uh oh
Well fuck it
I’d rather be alone
Laugh at bad jokes
Because I’m anxious also gracious that way
I’m just a girl and we all know that they’re prone to accommodate
He thinks he’s doing so great
And who am I to say
He’s trying to save face
but can’t help my
starting to hate
I said he’s a shrimp he’s bozo
That’s he’s a flake that he’s a no show
Now I look back at every photo
Just see a snake just see a mofo
It’s just the bar is set so damn low
That there’s no more space
For us to go
You shrug your shoulder saying uh oh
Well fuck it
I’d rather be alone

I Want Everything
01:09
|
|||
|
I want everything
Feel it growing inside
My burning desire
Encroaching on my peripheries
Corner of my eye
Spots potential
Around
if only
I’d found my focus
Then maybe I’d believe
I want everything but
I learned so many lies
They kept me inside
For what felt
just like eternity
Now I’m back online
I can feel myself smiling
Living divine
And floating on what was meant for me

Do you remember when we first met
locked eyes across table
Kept throwing your French fries
Between the host and
The candle stick
Goals posts
Went to score
Came back and pulled me out that place
The cab was waiting take us dancing
I hope that
Your memories
Come close to
Reality
I know that
There’s not really
Such a thing
Although
It’s all sensory
My preference is you and me
Live in similarity
Reoccurring
Why am I
So obsessed with our experience being the same
Like
it didn’t happen if
it didn’t happen my way
Why is it
A joke to you
You think everything’s a game
And maybe it is
But let’s be together when we play
Do you remember when we first met
Felt like a reconnection
As if we had past lives
And our affection
Being compiled
I mention
This you eyes glaze over leave me lonely
With my stupid predilections
Why am I
So obsessed with our experience being the same
Like
it didn’t happen if
it didn’t happen my way
Why is it
A joke to you
You think everything’s a game
And maybe it is
But let’s be together when we play
I want to believe
you feel
Feel just what I feel
Not
impossibility
It’s it’s real

Look Twice
02:28
|

|
Shimmer on the water
Magic at the sea
Look twice
Though I saw a shadow
Eating up the beach
Always coming up empty handed
They never believe
It’s such a blessing a curse to
have the vision far beyond my
Reaching
Upward
Holy heaven
Dragging earthward
What if we’re all dreaming
Structures
Reality undiscovered
Funny how I hated crying
Until recently
And now it feels like coming home to
Pure serenity
Release the flood of serotonin
Not the time to hide
Open my heart so much I want to
Try fit the whole wide world
Inside
now waking slowly
Pupils dilating
Drowning in it
Hands are shaking
Ocean that I melt away in

Crows Talk
03:19

Got this shadow hanging over me
Solo walk in the cemetery
I’ll just sit with the graves
Feeding peanuts to the crows
They something I don’t know
So quiet hear what they’ve got to say
Don’t look now
They’ve started gathering round
Brought my pen and notebook
Imma write it down
Staring out in disbelief
Is anyone seeing what I see
Look around I guess the
Jokes on me
Stepping our from under
Willow trees
A thousand beady eyes on me
I’m ready I’m ready I’m ready
Don’t look now
They’ve started gathering round
Brought my pen and notebook
Imma write it down
Go to lots of places and
Remember all faces
Of the people all the sweeties
And the faces of the meanies
Own nothing
and spread your wings
Make a lot of noise
And
Shit on things
Life so small
From a sky view
Little people
In city zoos
Come to think of it you and me
Always looking at different scenes
Even staring at exact same things
Guess I’ve never ever quite believed
There’d be such a variety
Of what is real What is real what is real
Don’t look now
They’ve started gathering round
Brought my pen and notebook
Imma write it down
Go to lots of places and
Remember all faces
Of the people all the sweeties
And the faces of the meanies
Own nothing
and spread your wings
Make a lot of noise
And
Shit on things
Life so small
From a sky view
Little people
In city zoos

Waste time
Do what you just don’t waste mine
I’m important and busy and important
Don’t want to get messy
Everything on lock pretend like I’m not
Stressy and depressy
But the slightest little knock it all comes down
Bought the new iPhone to make me happy
It didn’t
Got rid of my old clothes last years fashion
Good riddance
Try take up more space is what astrologers on TikTok say I’ve been disciplined with journalin’
And lemon water everyday
I’ve been driving
I’ve been trying
Get my shit together
Hiding
And denying
Built my house on slippery slides
Yeah and I’ve been crying
Coz the slightest knock it all comes down
I’ll put my feet up
Let my hair down
When I get it right
Just got to control till my hands shake
knuckles turn white
Don’t know no other way
I just live strong
I just hold tight
I can’t go on but
Can’t not fight
But the slightest little knock
But the slightest little knock it all comes down
It all comes down

Hold me baby
Don't let go
Don’t let go
But
Touch yourself to my photos
Your photos
They send me somewhere
I don’t know
It’s so much fun to not know
What the hell
Babe
I take personally
When you misbehave
I’m all dressed up
For you
Attention must be paid
Don’t answer video calls
Cleared my schedule nothin at all
Could excite me more
You’ve gone and ruined
All the fun for this whore
I’m a lucky girl
On a bad day
You’re piece a shit
I guess I like it that way
In a living hell
It’s my own mistake
Give me nothing back
except for fucking headaches
You pulled the handbrake
On our sexy little machine
But you didn’t tell me so I smash my face on the screen
I’ll take it on the chin don’t send a warning
That’s okay the truth is that you were just kind of boring
I’m a lucky girl
On a bad day
You’re piece a shit
I guess I like it that way
In a living hell
It’s my own mistake
Give me nothing back
except for fucking headaches
Know you want me
Touch my body
You’re so boring
I’m a party

I’m watching your show
Thinking about home
Opening doors
Into my old
Lost memories
Something like a dream
Alice falls down the hole
I’m on the stage in the floodlights
A baby deer in the headlights
We’re gonna die here
But that’s fine
God doesn’t care
It’s a dog fight
Closing your eyes
Open wide take a big bite
Waking up hurts
So anarchic
What a cute skirt
Freezing in the arctic
Take me back I’ve had enough
Fill my brains with bubble tea pop tarts
Marshmallow fluff
Just a leap of faith
Walk towards the edge
I’ve never really been brave
But I’m not afraid of death
Look out
It’s falling
My god
Won’t help me
In my cocoon for a long ride
Turn into goo
Kiss me goodnight
Nothing to do
Walk to the light
It feels so good saying byebye
Taking the tube nonstop into space time
Feeling myself
And I like it
Been a long while
Since I’ve been excited
Leave my body far behind
Signed a piece of paper
Saying use the parts to build a little shrine
Look out
It’s falling
My god
Won’t help me
All these diamonds
Activating
Endless colours
Light creating
Square the circle
Time
Hour glasses
Sand pour on my beach waves are crashing
Crystal body
Life
Coming online
Life is just a peach in the sunshine

We stayed up till late
Gemini and Aries
Birthday cake vanilla with the berries
Let them say
Whatever they want good times
Won’t stop we’ll watch the sunrise
And wait till your hand finds my
It’s so hard to say goodbye
To all the love of summertime
In our city parks
Fill the picnic basket
On your arm
It’s still warm till late
when it gets dark
Sticky sweet the night time is
Jumping like a live wire
We watch the sparks as they fly
It’s so hard to say goodbye
To all the love of summertime

If I'm Honest

Wreck me in the best way
A surprise when you stayed over Thursday
Fucked up is the head space
But I refuse to believe it’s a mistake
How long are we to play this game
Not really a big fan of the chase
Said you were done with the others
I’m not stalker but happened to be there and saw you coming out of his place
There’s honey this blade
And I’ll still take it
Can’t help but love the taste
The way you make it
The pleasure and the pain
Think it’s my favorite
Wish it wasn’t that way
I’m a slave for it
If I’m honest
If I’m really honest
Would I feel the same if I could have it
Sabotage myself at every turn
It’s the hammer to my magnet
Maybe without this
There could be quiet
It would be nice
Easy one
Wouldn’t be restless
Tone the spice
And take my time
A happy life
Who am I fooling
I know my own head
What am I doing
Now I’ve made this bed
So cuddle up
with my demons instead
I guess I love it there
If I’m honest
If I’m really honest
Would I feel the same if I could have it
Sabotage myself at every turn
It’s the hammer to my magnet
Fine I’ll try
Make it work
This time
Cross my heart
And hope to die

Play To Win
02:52

Pick a card and say I play to win
Throw the dice and caution to the win
Be your own prestigious champion
Forever unbeaten
Look at my
Beautiful life
I must apologize
I’m always tempted to destroy it
Coz I don’t know how to enjoy it
Look at my
Beautiful life
As I sharpen the knife
I didn’t ask for any of this
But now I wanna to learn to love it
It hides from
eyes blind
But loud to ears open wide
Miss a step and sent into a spin
Triples into glass desperation
Easy spot the cracks as they begin
The culmination
Good luck
Keep those
Fingers crossed
Try just to
Find us
If you get lost
Make an offering
Wear the necklace
When the Saints sing

Good girl in a bad world
Get your nails done
Point like a loaded gun
Look right
Gold chain babe your hand cuffs
Look so pretty in the sun
Smile say
you like rough
say you’re really having fun
Baby girl’s a grown up
Learn to crawl then to run
Learn to puppy eyes learn to have a good time
Spin
in your dress lift up show us skin
The game is rigged you’ll never win
Play hard as you can
Leg up
Hand out
Get your foot in
You want it so bad
Take a good look at world around
I can tell you’re figuring it out
Mouth is soft wet but full of teeth
Baby’s hungry and it’s time to eat

Best friends
I don’t recognize us anymore
We’re in the deep end
I’m allergic to this whole fake thing that
We’ve been playing
Since you got your degree you think you know every goddamn thing
It’s getting boring
You’ve never had
to say I’m sorry and it shows
I’ll say it one more time if you keep on ignoring
I cried on my birthday
In room full of people at the café
Didn’t want to but of course of course
I did it anyway
Best friends
Give up game over
Or try to rescue all that we’ve been
Legacy surely counts for something
Or is it pretend
I can’t guarantee
I won’t say no
When you push too hard too many times
And
My patience it’s been wearing thin
I think I know
That we’re too gone
People change
And it’s tough
To embrace
Love sometimes is not enough
Hard to face

Physical
I’ll be ya blow up doll
But not in a bad way
In sexy strong never do wrong powerful feminist way and
I need you (give instructions)
To be the kind person (be bad but also behave)
I need (buy me presents)
But the very best version (Things I’ll appreciate)
Don’t go
Asking
Questions bout my history
Best believe that’s better left a mystery
Don’t go
Asking
Questions bout my history
Best believe that’s better left a mystery
Don’t go
Asking
Questions bout my history
Best believe that’s better left a mystery
Is it bad that I don’t want to answer
All the calls from my future disaster
Get the blinkers
And the blindfold
It’s a rush it’s a game doesn’t get old

Play it cool
Just like that
Stand casual
Body language
Got that strong eye contact
Fight the urge
See if I manage
I can play this game
For long as you like
But it’s savage
Make a move
Oh my god
Can’t believe that
That just happened
When the lights go out
We’re done talking now
Baby shut your mouth
And I know just how
Take it off
Let me watch
You’re so soft
To the touch
Come closer
Turn around
Lay you down
It’s too much
Gotta stop
Take a breather
I won’t break a stare I wanna watch it all
Taking it all in so I can feel it more
You move just like you’ve known me
For the longest time
So cool just like no one exists but you and i
When the lights go out
We’re done talking now
Baby shut your mouth
And I know just how
Sparks fly
For us baby
One look
Drives me crazy
Hot blood
Cold night
Plague me
You’re my drug
So wavy

I don’t take no for an answer
Driving you crazy but faster
Pulling up pulling out gaggin

I got a crush
I got a crush
It must be you
It must be me
It must be us
