Softglow Sun so bright, pressed on your shoulder Overflow Much too deep to swim, it's over Unknown who goes there, ghost of october? What'd I do all that for? Much too young, too much exposure Softglow Acrylic paint spilled on the folder Overflow I realize as I grow older Unknown There’s things I've done so wrong, so polar Where to go Where do I go to start all over? Flung to the sky, I'm missing a body, I'm a sliced off head, flying The only real thing I've grown to know, accompanied by silence Flung from the crossroads into skybox, reset me, I'm eyeless There’s no return, faint to the dirt, seance, crystal, diamond I’m walking barefoot on the coals, I'm leaping for a red balloon I’m born again, I don't repent, I start to feel so brand new I feel the blood rush to my hands, and all my bones connecting, too There’s something special, elemental, my head rolls back, falls onto you Softglow Sun so bright, pressed on your shoulder Overflow Much too deep to swim, it's over Unknown who goes there, ghost of october? What'd I do all that for? Much too young, too much exposure Softglow Acrylic paint spilled on the folder Overflow I realize as I grow older Unknown There’s things I've done so wrong, so polar Where to go Where do I go to start all over? Born, born, born, again Burn, burn, burn, again Born, born, born, again Burn, burn, burn, again Again Again

Ultrasound 03:22
Words seeped into my skull For forty weeks, and then it's gone Until I'm reminded, remember what I did It’s forty weeks more, for me to know I live in creation, but feel so far When I die, cut my skin into little stars And scatter em round and put them in a locket I can travel the world inside your pocket Forever Quiet desperation, let me choose Too afraid of loving someone that I might lose Quiet desperation let me choose Too afraid of loving someone that I might lose This weather feels like home But I’m hesitant to even leave my own Cause it’s warm in bed, but I should instead Be out doing things before I can’t and won’t I will always miss hanging out at Marks, I tripped on my bed frame in the dark Oh, in the dark If it’s not too late, I might just stay And sit around for an hour or two Take in the vague, unclear and hazy, Murky, smell of morning dew If it’s not foggy, we can drive around Until the morning, like after 2:00 And act real stupid, we'll make some music Until I turn my back to you Is it too late? (is it okay?) Not feeling great? I understand Head on not straight? (well either way) You know i’ll wait until you can If its too loud, but quiet for me, I’ll still turn the volume down Do you feel the same, empty feeling in you? like a dead baby ultrasound Nah that's fucked up My bad Quiet desperation, let me choose (U-L-T-R-A-S-O-U-N-D) Too afraid of loving someone that I might lose (U-L-T-R-A-S-O-U-N-D) If it’s not too late, I might just stay And sit around for an hour or two (U-L-T-R-A-S-O-U-N-D) Take in the vague, unclear and hazy, Murky, smell of morning dew (U-L-T-R-A-S-O-U-N-D) If it’s not foggy, we can drive around Until the morning, like after 2:00 (U-L-T-R-A-S-O-U-N-D) And act real stupid, we'll make some music Until I turn my back to you (U-L-T-R-A-S-O-U-N-D) Is it too late? (is it okay?) Not feeling great? I understand (U-L-T-R-A-S-O-U-N-D) Head on not straight? (Well either way) You know I’ll wait until you can (U-L-T-R-A-S-O-U-N-D) If its too loud, but quiet for me, I’ll still turn the volume down (U-L-T-R-A-S-O-U-N-D) Do you feel the same, empty feeling in you? like a dead baby ultrasound (U-L-T-R-A-S-O-U-N-D)

Moon 01:55
“You’re going to hell! You’re going to hell and you’re gonna die” Tiptoe to the kitchen, way past dark so no one listens As quiet as a mouse, as I creep all through the house Open up the pantry and right away this smell, it hits me Detect it and take quickly, I dont care if I steal this cookie Outside the trees are dancing, swaying, moonlight hits the back street And the snow falls on the countryside, just the way that I described I know that soon it’ll all be gone in the afternoon There’s an ultrasound shaped like a crescent moon I like to think the moon is made of cheese And Santa really comes all down the chimney And snow always builds up on the moon And you look at me the same I do to you Black crow, contrast in the snow And icicles still hanging from my window And grass holds a dirty shade of green And my clothes tear, still, right down the seams Lots of people I worry about, and lots of things I wish I didn’t hear Everyday’s another day, and every years a brand new year

Splitbirth 04:10
My beds warm again, It’s like home to me, I’m taking this in Like a fetus growing slow Feel my arms attach to my body And my eyes begging loud to explode My ribs form, so strong, and tightly But I develop far from the norm One part of me is tugging on, so harshly I’m begging keep me in this womb, in this body In fact, I'm not demanding, no, I’m asking politely Splitbirth I’m alive, small size, but I’m fine Burn my retinas from one side to the other side I think it’s normal not to feel alright Splitbirth Cold wind in the summer time From the doctors office to my own room, that is mine My crib is warm, yet there's tears in my eyes I feel safe in your home The same way as my clothes fit on my body, and Cover up my ribs and holes, It’s cold Umbilical cord, holds two souls And one is split to be another controlled Talking often keeps me sane, so, Why break the connection, and split it down either way? “What’s alluding to this plethora of ways?” yea, okay That’s how it is and how it has to stay Split, Split, Splitbirth I’m alive, small size, but I'm fine Burn my retinas from one side to the other side I think it’s normal not to feel alright Splitbirth Cold wind in the summer time From the doctors office to my own room, that is mine My crib is warm, yet there's tears in my eyes Bitch

Scent carried by the breeze slowly flies past me, Smells like a happy day, always reminding But then it’s gone instantly, like shore foam from the sea I replicate the feeling by smelling sap from the trees Memory instilled in the certain scent And there are lots of days wrapped in cheap plastic Holding scissors by the blade, walking around safe But you fell down either way All way down the driveway There’s no use to lie when there’s nothing on the line (Cut, cut, cutting up the paper) And the caterpillar cocooning will be a butterfly (Split, Split, Split down the middle) And there's no use to cut paper drawings when they’re done (Cut, cut, cutting up the paper) Natures first green is gold, the hardest hue to hold (Thou shalt love thy neighbor, like thou shalt have in grace) There’s no use to lie when there’s nothing on the line (Cut, cut, cutting up the paper) And the caterpillar cocooning will be a butterfly (Split, split, split down the middle) And there's no use to cut paper drawings when they’re done (Cut, cut, cutting up the paper) And there’s no use to fold paper with no crease or holes (God never hears my prayers, guess I should scream louder) Brown soil of the summer I’m wearing cargo shorts I used to step on the ants but now I know they’re worth more Tracking mud in the house, I know you've done it before Freezing cold juice box combats the warmth Purple bonnie, bored, folding oragami yoda Florida, hate the boredom in the summer, spring, it’s got me Make crochet airplanes, burning paper, watch it wither, through the winter Cut with Blue Baby Scissors Scissors There’s no use to lie when there’s nothing on the line (Cut, cut, cutting up the paper) And the caterpillar cocooning will be a butterfly (Split, Split, Split down the middle) And there's no use to cut paper drawings when they’re done (Cut, cut, cutting up the paper) Natures first green is gold, the hardest hue to hold (Thou shalt love thy neighbor, like thou shalt have in grace) There’s no use to lie when there’s nothing on the line (Cut, cut, cutting up the paper) And the caterpillar cocooning will be a butterfly (Split, split, split down the middle) And there's no use to cut paper drawings when they’re done (Cut, cut, cutting up the paper) And there’s no use to fold paper with no crease or holes (God never hears my prayers, guess I should scream louder)

Wooden 04:30
I have to let go of who I was To become what I might be But right now I'm not listening Guess that’s the choice that I'm choosing I make jokes with the trees And all the trees laugh with me Soon hopefully, we’ll have the whole entire forest laughing I am the Halloween night And I'm afraid of all the bug bites And I'm balloons, floating, burning, hitting power lines I know the path to go home And I'm sure that you don’t Do you trust me enough, to get us there before the storm? I'm the bug crawling along on the tire swing I got a wish, and that wish means nothing It's almost summer so, now ya gotta trust me If you wanna make these last months something My rooms a little brighter, zippo, lightin up, a lighter, Like the itsy bitsy spider, falling down the water spout And jumping on the couch, and watching movies all about The dumb shit that we could do we can open our mouths Oh light the sage, (light) light the candles Flip the page and respect the ritual Like plastic pumpkins, and plastic eyeballs The gift of sight, comes with the curse of fractal I wanna be a real boy, all of a sudden I’m Pinocchio with a heart, full of loving My nose is growing longer every time I'm caught lying, Oh I wish I wasn’t wooden I have to let go of who I was To become what I might be But right now I'm not listening Guess that’s the choice that I'm choosing I make jokes with the trees And all the trees laugh with me Soon hopefully, we’ll have the whole entire forest laughing I am the Halloween night And I'm afraid of all the bug bites And I'm balloons, floating, burning, hitting power lines I know the path to go home And I'm sure that you don’t Do you trust me enough, to get us there before the storm? I woke up Tuesday, thought it was Thursday Damn I got a cold, stuffy nose, watching movies Eating ice cream, Gatorade, watching TV Shit got me spellbound, I'm making up scenes Heart shaped box, small holes in my socks Take me back to a place, where I wish I was Gripping onto to my religion, but I feel it fall If you were Jesus, would you carry that cross? You can go through hell and still be real nice But you’ve been given everything, and you still choose that life Staring at my faults and my eyes meet mine Bloody mary got nothing on the end of time I'm a plastic Christmas decoration, cookies in the kitchen And the chalk on the pavement, And the paint on the grass, on the track meet pavement I’m so impatient, Yea, I tried to be something else, but, I couldn’t I have to let go of who I was To become what I might be But right now I'm not listening Guess that’s the choice that I'm choosing I make jokes with the trees And all the trees laugh with me Soon hopefully, we’ll have the whole entire forest laughing I am the Halloween night And I'm afraid of all the bug bites And I'm balloons, floating, burning, hitting power lines I know the path to go home And I'm sure that you don’t Do you trust me enough, to get us there before the storm?

Angel Hair 02:19
Shaving cream in my mouth, the stench of loss of life Strong scent of ash and beer keep me awake, me alive As my eyes begin to weigh, resist the urge to rest I let the rat in a burning bowl stuck to my chest eat through my flesh As I rise up, God sees me, and he sighs my name The Sirens calling me down, but I don’t know which way It’s all illusion, such delusion, in a state of decay Molded eyelids strapped on, duct taped to my face I said fuck this, lemme dance in a limbo okay? Give me a minute to decide while I choose my fate I cant believe this, so annoying, why’d you choose this day? If you can send me back to earth I think it's better that way Nine Circles, lemme choose the first Cold sepulchre, angels pissing on the hospital Playtime Seacoast Motel, in a Bootleg hearse If I could choose to live a day, let it be the worst

Are ya homesick for it? Or are you tired of the body you grew up with? Wanna ticket outta this? Perhaps just a bus ride, a little way to waste your time? (There's nothing wrong with running away for a night) Do you trust almost anybody always? And do you normally give what you're given back? Driver's way too responsible for holding all the lives that are riding, in the palms of his hands Are you living for an answer? Or are you missing, something that you start beginning to sense? Letting go is letting in, memorializing what has been, But it's important to know that you can You can leave it in the alley You can leave it in the alley You can leave it in the alley No, no, no You can leave it in the alley You can leave it in the alley You can leave it in the alley Oh, oh, oh You can leave it in the alley You can leave it in the alley You can leave it in the alley No, no, no You can leave it in the alley You can leave it in the alley You can leave it in the alley Oh, oh, oh Driving for nothing (Driving for nothing) He passed all the destinations Guess you can't put together someone who's crumbling, without glue or patience Hi my name is Lorelei and I don't wanna die I've walked the train tracks one too many a times, And I'm paper mache, so keep me dry When hands stroke through my hair, it cuts the skin, and you cry Every little thing that made me wanna lock the door, and Close all my windows and open the drawer, and [?] They all stop, When I'm distracted by you, or the hands on the clock Nah, I wont do that, I wont melt into my hands Hurt, grab the wheel when it starts to swerve And every little thing I worry about, and the dirt I know that I can throw away and leave on the curb I can leave it in the alley I can leave it in the alley I can leave it in the alley No, no, no I can leave it in the alley I can leave it in the alley I can leave it in the alley Oh, oh, oh I can leave it in the alley I can leave it in the alley I can leave it in the alley No, no, no I can leave it in the alley I can leave it in the alley I can leave it in the alley Oh, oh, oh

Fingerteeth 04:41
Whispering to dragonflies And mixing apples with peanut butter Twice as many stars up in the sky And more people talking to each other Outside, soon you’ll come to find, The moon matches all the whites in our eyes All the same, I know this week will fade, rainy days, Only really got the cycle to blame Finish work, always in the dirt but it wash off Hammer to the game, make it break like asphalt Pink thorns from the green stem, sharp? I cant tell Dull to the metal, threw my keys in the wishing well Yellow teeth, crest white paste, make my mouth bleach Sticky fingers got me feeling like I'm holding ice cream, Icing, Blew away the air, like the blue wind Don’t get to choose when we start, but we always begin Mirrors on my fingers, as above so below, I'ma walk till my feet hurt, and walk til I don't My fingers turn yellow, and my nails start to grow Trails growing longer as I start to walk home Ghosts in my backpack, and spirits on the phone Sleepwalk to my bedroom, awake in the cold 8 feet tall, there’s something I want to ask and know Why do my teeth turn yellow but my fingernails don't? Forgive me, all the trees forgive me, And the rocks on the sand form mouths and start talking Saying, "If you walk this path you can never go back." But I got nothing to lose, so I walk on the sand Winding through the forest turning a left and a right, Lord please forgive me, cause I think it’s time I'm a thousand miles away from anyone, out of sight Let my chest concave, and my eyeballs dry out Something in the water, spring, valley makes my throat itch Scent from my childhood, reaches me, then it vanish Take the time for the grace, thankful that my life’s working Dropping off my friends, I'm so thankful for my family Recall my grandpas house and the hot metal swing set Going down the metal slide was sure to burn my hand in Shit I used to hate, now I wish I could go back then Oh to have the innocence we had as children Split at birth, like born into two Feel the hairs on my arms stand up at you Unsettled by the earth, feel the beauty, see the false too Deadpan living state, scooped up like a vacuum Little things, notice pores open on my flesh now Brush my teeth three times, the stones don’t wanna white out Two rights equal a wrong, why does it cancel out? Feeling too old, asking God to please put me down Mirrors on my fingers, as above so below, I'ma walk till my feet hurt, and walk til I don't My fingers turn yellow, and my nails start to grow Trails growing longer as I start to walk home Ghosts in my backpack, and spirits on the phone Sleepwalk to my bedroom, awake in the cold 8 feet tall, there’s something I want to ask and know Why do my teeth turn yellow but my fingernails don't? Forgive me, all the trees forgive me, And the rocks on the sand form mouths and start talking Saying, "If you walk this path you can never go back." But I got nothing to lose, so I walk on the sand Winding through the forest turning a left and a right, Lord please forgive me, cause I think it’s time I'm a thousand miles away from anyone, out of sight Let my chest concave, and my eyeballs dry out

Faint into the mirror Vomit on my toothbrush Wiper blades can't clear My eyes Wiper blades cant clear My eyes There’s an itch in my throat that just won’t go away No medicine for my allergies, sleeps my medicine today Parasocially, no none of y'all knowing me There’s gnomes inside the forest and they're pointing and they’re giggling The walls of autumn hold me up, I'm walking but I'm balancing My whole room hurts, muster up the strength to leave Crown shyness, the trees never touching Looking through your eyes, everything, nothing Walls of autumn Shits awesome sauce, From the bottom It holds us up Spring to summer You're my runner You cant outrun her Cold to the touch Fragile breathing So blistering Dead seethering It's warm enough Busy living for the dead, cold to the touch I think we would've been friends no matter what Walls of autumn Fall break skies Inevitability keeps me up at night Eyes wide shut, my skin will rise Leave me in a body for another time Without these walls, bulldoze my mind You can linger at the bridge and destroy mine 12 leaky windows, looking through, just fine If one rock can change everything, so can I

Meyb 02:30
Wind flies around and makes an apple fall down Rests by a cat that sleeps calm in the storm The sky purple and dark, but there's a glimmer and spark In the contrast of red, cat looks up It's like a sweet baby boy has lost all of his toys It's so easy to cry and feel sore Or like a sweet baby girl has lost all her curls And she longs for what she had before Cause you can't eat it, it's staring at me Not the Garden of Eden, but it sure feels like it Dismiss the desire and wait Is God even real anyway? Maybe Cause you're just like me, even if you don't like it We’re brothers and sisters, not directly, but kinda You get my point, I'm your friend, you’re annoyed Maybe its just I feel like I disappoint It's like a sweet baby boy has lost all of his toys It's so easy to cry and feel sore (Cry and feel sore) Or like a sweet baby girl has lost all her curls And she longs for what she had before (What she had before) Cause you can't eat it, it's staring at me Not the Garden of Eden, but it sure feels like it (Sure feels like) Dismiss the desire and wait Is God even real anyway? Maybe

Oh for it to be, 2014 With the taste of chlorine still lingering Watching Spongebob on a grey box TV Drinking a warm Sunny D Yeauh Bicycle racks, my tires hitting on the wooden tracks I mind, that know I can’t make up for things that I left It's all dream, the air is thicker and there's bugs on the leaves Nowadays it's all nothing I'm falling short, I hope that I can come back next week Until then, I'm still dreaming in the morning Dry skin, you seem to hate everything You remind me of the idiot I used to be Rest assured, my fingers always stay crossed I double dare you to be nice to the kid that's not My eyes hurt, and my stomach tied up in knots Coiled in my bed, til you wake me up Gameboy with the face plate painted, September fest, I snuck past the height limit Tucked myself in the seat, I really grasped it But I fell out the mere second it started Nevermind, my view is now obstructed Substance, a roundabout of heroin Destroys you, and grabs you, yea it takes you with Such a loss, if there's a God, I hope he lets you in Bicycle racks, my tires hitting on the wooden tracks I mind, that know I can’t make up for things that I left It's all dream, the air is thicker and there's bugs on the leaves Nowadays it's all nothing I'm falling short, I hope that I can come back next week Until then, I'm still dreaming in the morning Dry skin, you seem to hate everything You remind me of the idiot I used to be

Trick&Fool 03:12
Water spilled right up on my dresser It's easy fooling me Flowers shrivel in the freezing weather It's creepy, to a degree Winter breaks over, it's all back to work but I shouldn’t complain, at least not anymore Because most of the time I'm straight just stuck to the bed Scrolling online forever, til my phone is dead Or pacing round my room, my shadow paint a silhouette Of me, but only of me again, no one else And it sucks, it really sucks cause I have just myself Feel like a whiny little baby I should man up instead, but Water spilled right up on my dresser It's easy fooling me Flowers shrivel in the freezing weather It's creepy, to a degree Listen once, or listen not at all Y'all got a place inside my heart, but do I do to y'all? It's whatever, store my eyes inside a little jar Buried right behind the statue, Rosewater Park If you sleep beneath the lake, you lose track of time You lose some skin too, down to the bone and eyes They say your room is a reflection of your mind Well my mind is bout to be all over mine Water spilled right up on my dresser It's easy fooling me Flowers shrivel in the freezing weather It's creepy, to a degree

Greenhouse 03:18
Bridled feelings, kill the fucker in the mirror Chapped lips, so it hurts, when I bring em ear to ear Old engraved pennies, I got one for every year And the kisses from the snow tell me wait again, clear It's the constant rushing raindrops on the roof that comfort me When the promises I've made to myself, start breaking This the type of shit I won't tell my friends, or anybody Got my eyes on the [?], got my finger on the safety Nothing feels like home, feel like frosty in the greenhouse Letting out my anger, bad decision, I regret now Change my voice around you, stupid shit that I'm talking bout Falling from the building, variations on a cloud Nothing feels like home, feel like frosty in the greenhouse Letting out my anger, bad decision, I regret now Change my voice around you, stupid shit that I'm talking bout Falling from the building, variations on a cloud Lethargy, inertia, I'm lazy One side of the magnet, I just push it all away from me Try to the make the time, end up saying that I'm busy Regret it all like ten minutes later, when am I winning Bone to the skin (skin) watches don't fit (fit) Spikes piercing through my throat, from the inside, in Release the tension, internal bleeding begin Bathtub water rising up to my chin Ice cream hands, sticking to the paper Sweet cotton candy, black ice through the winter D-d-deepest darkest secrets, to the grave, to the Aether, Life after life, nothing science could’ve answered Up all night, til like 5:39, No weapons to the clock, g-got nothing to kill time Staying glued to my phone, c-cut the power, go offline Every second I'm alive it feels like I'm bout to die Nothing feels like home, feel like frosty in the greenhouse Letting out my anger, bad decision, I regret now Change my voice around you, stupid shit that I'm talking bout Falling from the building, variations on a cloud Nothing feels like home, feel like frosty in the greenhouse Letting out my anger, bad decision, I regret now Change my voice around you, stupid shit that I'm talking bout Falling from the building, variations on a cloud

So sick like a dog, water poisonous to me Cat without an owner, dirty sitting on the street Mom doesn't know why I've been distant lately Mom doesn’t know why the airs so empty Twelve leaky windows and chipped china cups Not a hole in the wall could ever tempt me enough Slow on the soulsand, not tryna speed up But you cant hate yourself into someone you love I can't rely on hope and faith In the shower too long, I'll faint Do for old times sake Looking for the ending, when I'm barely half way Twelve leaky windows Twelve leaky windows Twelve leaky windows and twelve leaky Eyes wide shut, a shitty epitaph for Such a good life, written in song You are just a boy, yea you are no man and Here is everything you’ve done wrong Steady pressing in the flowers, ‘fore the plowers take whats ours And there’s nothing left all just but one I'm taking every word all with a grain of salt It's like everything I know will forever be gone Spent my warmth, or was there more to create Lock the door, a dandelion blows away Take in this moment, (be)fore its yesterday I like to cherish it all, (be)fore its a memory
