don't help me
when I'm feeling down
joy feels like emptiness
and loneliness like dirtyness
don't save me
I don't wanna frown anymore
but I gotta reputation to uphold
broken bones and tattered leather
my transition from bad to better
might never ever happen
all my life I've been around survivors
and each and every one tells me
that pain is everlasting
but you just gotta work through it
but I don't buy it
I don't wanna believe that it can get better
cuz joy feels like emptiness
and loneliness like hating myself
for being me and not being her

from willamette to bijou
I headed downtown
to see you
lady bird,lovely christine
such an inspiration
for a traveler who sings
thank you very much for the reminder
despite how old I get
I still don't feel like I've come of age
the city at night was beautifuly lit
with it's name over a hotel
and in this land of wonders
I found joy and strief
sometimes too much to bear
thank you very much for the reminder
despite how old I get
I still don't feel like I've come of age
In the bus stop, in DQ
the bridge that crosses
the river so blue
I did all I wanted to do
lady bird girl by the pillows
ringing in my ear
I'll hold this place
forever dear to me

let's tell everybody
that we're together
let's tell everybody
that we're in love
and who cares about fuckin'
in this day and age?
Ii only wanna hold your hand
will you be my girl?
let's tell everybody
that we're fake
let's tell everybody listening
that I'm just a fake
and who has time for anything
in this day and age?
I just want a hand to hold
will you be my darlin' dear?

left out
01:44
|

feeling
like I can't let go
of what makes me
miserable
I feel left out
some times words
they feel like they aren't worth a damn
but interestingly enough
I find myself jotting them down
but who are you to tell me
that what I write ain't true?
but could it be you're bitter because
they might be about you
I
can't let go
of what I should

If I'm being honest
even I'm tired of singing about the same thing
but it's easier to sing about being sad
than it is about not being born in the right body
or the right state of mind
but oops I did it
I can't believe I did it
the neighbor won't stop mowing the lawn for 3 minutes for me to finish recording this dang song
now where was I
ah yes dysphoria
I think I'll just leave at that
I'm honestly afraid of coming out
so I publish music that'll do it for me
but I'm still super confused
and I'm not quite sure what I even am
so I don't feel valid
and that's why I'm afraid of talking about in depth through music
but oh well,I did it in this song anyways
so please don't message me and ask me "are you a girl?"
because that's rude beyond belief
and I don't wanna have to answer that I've always been one
because these things tend to be way more complicated that they appear to be
and most of you don't even care enough to understand
just pretend I'm just singing about depression
and ignore the fact that I just came out in a song
ok?

don't worry I'm fine
this is for the best
turn me
into smoke
and inhale me
into your lungs

you have no idea how hard it has been to flip flop between being fiercely optimistic and terrifyingly suicidal
all at the drop of a hat
a constant worry that this'll be the end of my story and what a sad,meaningless end that will be
I try to stand up
but it isn't enough
a vision of love
clouds the fear from above
I'm sorry that this verse is so obnoxious but there's only so many times you can recycle the same melody
before people notice
but when I feel happy I feel onp to of the world,man I can do anything I propose
but then I can't

memories turn to shade
like raindrops on a closed window
Oh things have fallen apart again
quite a sight to see
the silhoutte that should've been
me
I have lost too much to stay the same
I have lost so much and I'm to blame
and the words that I say they lead me astray
I can't stop
anymore
A shroud of neverending night I wear
these cracks along my skin are mine to bear
and only when the one that's sleeping above
wakes up
I feel alive
I have lost too much to stay the same
I have lost so much and I'm to blame
and the words that I say they lead me astray
I can't stop
anymore

farther than I imagined
14 hours away stood eugene
how was I to know what would happen
that I'd never be able to call you home
once upon a time
i believed
i truly did
in new beginnings
what a difference it makes
to belong
to belong
in a place you can call home
the streets were lined with cherry blossoms
surrounded by wonderful emerald
in the local pond I stumbled
upon beauty I had never seen
the city of the ducks
I wouldn't never left if you hadn't kicked me out
and everyone liked post rock
this patch of sky's show was sold out

watching the moon flow
into water
stars erupt like vesuvius
on the ceiling
oh my love
wait for me
this is our starry night
like tears for our fears
I just wanted to rule the world
the ocean glimmers
its reflection
an earthly constellation

the fault in my foibles
02:45
|
|||
I'm happiest when I'm myself
but also the most vulnerable
smilingin her world
just smiling in my world
it's who i am
I know I don't fit in
I know I'm not "one of the girls"
I won't apologize
for the fault in my foibles
If I've had to learn to accept me
the least you could do is try
because regardless of what you do
It won't change a damn thing
