Stationary 02:37
I passed the gas station My thoughts all seem to rhyme Existential? I’ll take it My urges are all fucked this time Lay down on the mattress Mirrors circle every night You are ugly free of sorrow, Impermanence will dine There’s a resolution in due time Bare bones and a need to end my life We can remain neutral in the night You will find the cause to your own fight Trying to love you, but these things would never change I’m not the boy that you thought i am cut out to be No - I’m not, then to now was such a fucked up time I’m that girl with hidden roses under the Asbury sky There’s a fire and it burns heavy x 2 Gross heartless sack of shit What the hell have you been smoking? When the marijuana hits, Your souls so stuck and frozen What did we do to deserve this? Did these rats all need support I crave validation And you’re my last resort Toxic roads x 4

Holes 01:38
There’s terror in the backyard You ask what is that noise Feelings cannot be explained Thinking out loud about kissing boys Rolling through the block That I grew up on I walk silently as the wind hits the trees above so strong I want to dig these holes I want to dig these holes Deeper than hell, sulking alone I want to dig these holes Was a pipe bomb in a parking lot Food in the fridge that was bound to rot It takes more than one to make a change Reading gay poetry in the dark Trying to balance fast starts Hearing your heart will ease the pain Wake up in the same bed Feeling like you have been Taken advantage of and like you cannot win It’s a struggle to make coffee A struggle to walk outside Some say it’s easy to live Been always looking for a place to hide I want to dig these holes I want to dig these holes Deeper than hell, sulking alone I want to dig these holes

Drown 01:42
We need safety like a hole in our heads Sleeping with one eye open instead I said I’m in love with you I couldn’t make the money Couldn’t make the income To live gracefully Voices in my brain, Realizing how vain, I know I can’t do shit anymore Can’t be yourself with the feds all around We’re in the gay part of town I guess I’m getting old My back is hurting, I’m young I was raising the gun in this dream last night Voices in my brain, Realizing how vain, I know I can’t do shit Can’t control shit We will both sleep with the fish then drown

SMH City 01:47
cordially excited for the draft to fucking happen its self-sabotage to be amongst all men think fast, think straight, got to be irrate sign all the papers and hop off my friend you're forgiven by god you will never be cut off keep your posture together or you will be torn down gotta smile to hide your queer frown time to get ready, you gotta wash your hair you got lipstick in your pocket, and your skin is completely bare walk straight down the hall, no more drinks, sober call in these barracks, there are different kinds of shots don't give up on this yet looking down on you, you cannot get upset the brain is the worst kind of cell in this free ground that we can call hell
5.
Sweat 02:36
the news makes me sweat discomfort down under I’m dying, thoughts piling been under the covers i love you so much i would die for you current state in the world i wish i could undo when I walk outside terror comes to mind agoraphobic time therapy come faster don’t want to live in a world ran my fascists but there’s no control in every facet such a minuscule force i should go to bed i hope you can be safe in your head i can’t imagine life without you around you’re like a best friend hope you hear the sound of truth hits, there is no end to suffering wish forever that i could kill them all hurting, passing Oh i could be protective my size is large and my heart is small

Clarity 02:06
Hey just quit my job All of my friends just got so pissed Can’t control which way the bottle spins All day jobs are capitalist Hey just left my town Kids feel like they can claim a city without a sound Gentrifying is so careless Nobody cares that they’re complacent I grew up with horrible people Giving horrible advice All my ancestors are self important Learning might just bring Clarity Hey just went to sleep In the bed that I was given Maybe I should assess my privilege All day long I’m inherently heartless Hey just started crying Sick of all of my friends dying It’s alright to support everyone Can’t the human race just burn with the sun Clarity
7.
Summer Money 02:00
Would just relax then react Like a deer you tried to shoot that Fell in love on a racetrack I was gone by the cheap wine all night Could just sit back and smile Dissociate for awhile Running from a boulder I was gone by springtime Summer money Heart shaped homes It’s not funny How your never gonna be alone Summer hardships Holes in the wall It’s not over And the dominoes are bound to fall Would just count down the hours And the pain just devours Abusing your power Bury me in a casket with flowers We ran from the summer Assessing the rebirth Running from a boulder I was gone by springtime Summer money Heart shaped homes It’s not funny How your never gonna be alone Summer hardships Holes in the wall It’s not over And the dominoes are bound to fall Now you’d say We could crucify the day Finally get a decent wage Fulfill your heart

Racehorse 03:56
Running fast I’m like a racehorse Setting fire to the police force Limp wrists as a cause of death Suffocation you’re out of breath You burn the flag Let me exhale Simple acts put us in jail Don’t think that it’s possible To find any method that’s feasible Lock me up Kiss me at midnight Blood on your hands Til you see the light What is finished is now overrun We’re like pigs up in the burning sun The feast is gone And now it’s over How the fuck should we all stay sober Don’t think that it’s possible To get by without our stomachs full I don’t want to tell you how to feel I don’t want to be there while you burn

Figwit 02:54
will we resent, all of the universe that’s spent trying to piece together flaws that we can’t control at all I step back, ground myself and read about DBT with every occurrence that comes to me when i think alone I am starving For a world without ridicule Dreaming of a safer life I am starving Looking at myself in ten years Will I go under or make up for lost time? try hard, wake up, that’s all you can do when i get stared off by bigots on the side of the road or the folks that know what makes me loath the intimacy of being alive focusing on my heart strings trying to give this everything but cannot grasp my thoughts I am starving For a world without ridicule Dreaming of a safer life I am starving Looking at myself in ten years will I go under or make up for lost time?

Been days since I felt the heat I know I can’t be on the right track to defeat With pondering the circumstance That is set around a broken glance Each day I dread to hear my name dreams of a genderless soul as a remedy For now, I’ll try my best to run As fast as my body can Escapism on my own command Well, I finally set my clock I guess to wait an extra hour til the day stops Manic like a rabid beast Trying to be free of emotional captivity Part of the self destructive queer youth With our brains set on Hollywood Not old enough to try it But the high never felt this good Fighting the enemy of anger With our ego nailed on a cross Not perfect to eachother It’s time to turn that engine on And find home Each day I dread to hear my name With dreams of a genderless soul as a remedy For now, I’ll try my best to run As fast as my body can Escapism on my own command
