500 Days of Bummer

Turn the tarot cards
Feel like a fool
I’m grasping onto nothing
And there’s nothing I can do
So I’ll turn this into something
If this is how it is
Cause I can’t make you love me
Not even with a kiss
So I’ve got 500 days of bummer
Far as I can see
I’ve got 500 days of bummer
Maybe I’ll become a better me
And I don’t feel good enough
No matter how hard I try
And I really feel so fucked up
I keep on asking why
My arms feel weak and heavy
My heart is in a grip
My mouth is numb like drinking
My love it keeps me sick

Don't Want You To Go

So I’ll write another song about you
Think of all the things we could do
If we didn’t throw it all away
Staring at computer screens
And bringing out my meanest means
This breaks my heart in every single way
I don’t want you to go
I’m so scared of moving on
Scared you won’t sing on my songs anymore
I should have let you know
That my feelings still are strong
I could do it all alone, but I’d miss my friend
I’ve built up all these survival tips
And at one point they seemed to fit
But I’m watching all the ways they’re hurting us
I’m shedding all my toxic skin
The shell that keeps the devil in
So baptize me down at locust beach
I don’t want you to go
I’m so scared of moving on
Scared you won’t sing on my songs anymore
I should have let you know
That my feelings still are strong
I’m not ready to move on, please hold my hand

What You Are Looking For

if you've found what you are looking for then tell me
it's hard to think about saying goodbye
if there's something i can give to you then let me
just don't leave me asking why
Cause I know how to leave
But I wanna know how to stay
And I want you to know
I still love you every day
And I love you all the ways I know to love you
The sins and scars can't always keep us down
We can change the things that hurt us, so be open
Cause I'll be leaving when you leave this town
If you don't know what you are doing here, then listen
You're not the only one who feels this way
If you're not sure what you're thinking, then stop thinking
Hold your heart and let it guide the way
Cause I know how to leave
But I wanna know how to stay
And I want you to know
I still love you every day
Cause I know how to leave
But I wanna know how to stay
And I want you to know
I still love you every day

End of the Earth (pt 2)
01:54
|

Wanna go to the end of the earth with you
Wanna climb the heights and see the view
Wanna do all the things that I have been afraid to
Gonna do the work, gonna make a change
For so long I’ve been feeling shame
I want to process all I was afraid to
Whoa oh oh
Wanna stop being scared of teenage boys
They don’t like it when we raise our voice
Bloodied on the bus for saying no
All our lives we have been scared
To change our names and cut our hair
So if our homes won’t have us we will go
Whoa oh oh
A question in my head I can’t remember
I always get lost when it’s December
But summer comes and I can find my way
Reminds me I’ll survive another day
And if we believe that we can grow
We can make a family of our own
Freaks like us don’t have to be alone
Repeat the words til they come true
Watch and learn the ways we grew
I believe in me and in you
I believe in me and in you
I believe in me and in you

Internet Boyfriend

Internet boyfriend tells you you’re sweet
Can’t wait to see you, finally meet
Calls you at night, you stay up too late
Carve out your arm, it’s the opposite of hate
Internet boyfriend
Internet boyfriend sends you a song
Says you’re his baby, he knew all along
If you get scared you’ll break his heart
It’ll be my fault if he tears himself apart
Internet boyfriend
Internet boyfriend tells you he’s sure
But he has a girlfriend, she says you’re a whore
She’s in the shower washing her hair
You’re in her bedroom, Hello Kitty underwear
Internet boyfriend
Dump your boyfriend

I hope you know that I love you
Don’t know how to show it but it’s true
I just don’t know how to have friends
I’ve been depressed since I was four
Sometimes wish I’d die right on the floor
Counting the beats of my heart until it ends
If you need a place to stay
And I’m asleep just wake me up it’s okay
And If you need somewhere to go
I’ll try my best, just let me know
And lately you’ve felt like a mess
Maybe you just need a place to rest
Come over and you can take the couch
I’m always scared to let people in
See my trash, see the state I’m in
I’ll sleep for days just to not feel
If you need a place to stay
And I’m asleep just wake me up it’s okay
And If you need somewhere to go
I’ll try my best, just let me know
I want to be a kind of home
Make my friends some tea don’t have to be alone
I want to live a life that’s real
So next time you’re dealing with some shit
Shoot me a text we can talk about it
Or we can play some songs til we feel fine
If you need a place to stay
And I’m asleep just wake me up it’s okay
And I feel so fucked up inside
So many parts of me I’d rather hide
