spent six months
at the bottom of a swimming pool
clawed my way up
to see the monster I had turned into
what can you do?
anger to ashes
found the matches waiting at my door
it hurts like hell
but every cut just leaves me craving more
fighting, crawling
slipping away
I’ve got one thought left
in my zombie brain
you ran and hid
and left me for dead
so now I’m gonna find you again
so what do you expect me to do?
you’re looking at me like I’m the damn
creature from the black lagoon!!!!!!!
just take me and love me like you never left
take me and all my seaweed spider legs
I’m running and I’m coming for you
you take what you want
and leave me gnawing on my broken bones
alone so long
I might as well have been invisible
the more you know
but never mind,
if you’re intent on acting carelessly
I’m gonna find
a way that’s sure to make you look at me
fighting, diving
in for the kill
if I can’t have you
then no one else will
if a vicious sadist’s
all that you see
then I’ll be what you want me to be
so what do you expect me to do?
you’re looking at me like I’m the damn
creature from the black lagoon!!!!!!!
just take me and love me like you never left
take me and all my seaweed spider legs
I’m running and I’m coming for you
oh my god
I’m gonna crush you like a bug
it’s all your fault
you just weren’t ready for my blood love
oh my god
I don’t know what I’ve become
make it stop
this voice that screams I’m not enough
so what to do you expect me to do?
you’re looking at me like I’m sickening
standing right in front of you
everything hurts, no I don’t feel well
but if I’m going down, I’m dragging you to hell
and karma leaves a pretty bad bruise
so what do you expect me to do?
you’re looking at me like I’m the damn
creature from the black lagoon!!!!!!!
just take me and love me like you never left
take me and all my seaweed spider legs
I’m running and I’m coming for you
oh my god
it's all your fault
oh my god
make it stop

what I’d do to take her place, the star of basement smoke
but I’d only trip over my tongue
what I’d give to have her jacket pockets, jagged throat
settling on champagne lungs
I want to break
and tear
and cut off all my hair
only this once
I swear
I’ve suffered
I’m feeling insecure
insatiated, bored
c’mon, let’s see
who’s more
unbothered
seventeen and sorry
I don’t know nobody
like I used to,
dancing round a smoke filled bedroom, oh (oh!)
seventeen, I’m sorry
but I don’t trust nobody
when they surround me
still want some of what they’re having, though
sweet insistence and the colors all begin to bleed
suddenly it’s burning up inside— fight or flight
poison princess in a sea of sharks ready to feed
think I’ll be walking home tonight
I want to crash
and burn
and somehow never learn
I’d spin around
and turn
to ashes
but I’m so weak
and small
I’d never risk the fall
so I’ll stay low
become
my shadow
seventeen and sorry
I don’t know nobody
like I used to,
dancing round a smoke filled bedroom, oh (oh!)
seventeen, I’m sorry
but I don’t trust nobody
when they surround me
still want some of what they’re having, though (oh!)
they say you don’t want it
but I do
my whole life I’ve been waiting
to be like you

Don't Tell Me

when you gonna pick up
called too many times
text back saying “sorry, I’m drunk”
why do I even try
argue in circles for hours
‘cause what else can I do
(oh my god, I’m screwed)
seemed so sweet when it started
but now it’s overgrown
I’d break my back tryna fix this
and still end up alone
but I’ll keep trying and trying
’til it splits me in two
‘cause I don’t think we’re working out
with every sad attempt
you break it off, I’ll break down
‘cause I don’t want us to end
so don’t tell me
I’ll let it stay in my head
I won’t believe
our love is already dead
I’ll let it disappear slowly
forget it, really don’t tell me
you used to make me breakfast
now you just make me mad
so I hold onto delusion
pretend it’s not that bad
we’re singing, or maybe screaming
speeding down 85
(when I close my eyes)
‘cause I don’t think we’re working out
but then you smile at me
and it’s like the sun just came out
how could I ever leave
so don’t tell me
I’ll let it stay in my head
I won’t believe
our love is already dead
I’ll let it disappear slowly
forget it, really don’t tell me
don’t tell me
I’ll let it stay in my head
‘cause I’m crazy
well, that’s what you always said
I’m begging, do you even want me
forget it, really don’t tell me
(‘cause you had me believing
you were gonna save me
but lately I’ve been thinking
you’ve been going crazy)
'cause you had me believing
you were gonna save me
and they say if you love someone
you gotta set them free
yeah, you had me believing
you were gonna save me
but if you changed your mind
then baby, don’t tell me
so don’t tell me
I’ll let it stay in my head
I won’t believe
our love is already dead
I’ll let it disappear slowly
forget it, really don’t tell me
don’t tell me
I’ll let it stay in my head
‘cause I’m crazy
well, that’s what you always said
I’m begging, do you even want me
forget it, really don’t tell me

hey, do you remember
spending two weeks of the summer
like our hips were glued
sunburnt shoulders start to soften
long since lost your number
but I still have that old picture
that I drew of you
buried under closet boxes
and maybe I needed you
more than I know
oh, Grayson
where did you go
try to wish it better
but you’re curly-haired forever
until I wake up
move along like nothing’s different
it’s certainly idealist
but then maybe I could change it
by thinking hard enough
will you back like nothing happened
and maybe you needed me
more than I know
oh, Grayson
where did you go
standing in an empty bedroom
laying in an open field
everywhere I go I see you
though you never made it here
I hadn’t even thought about you
now how am I supposed to feel
when nothing that I do can make it real
hey, do you remember
when it was just us together
for a week or two
but then I started shifting, slow
so I let my grip loosen
I never thought you’d do it
and I hope I’m wrong
I hope you never felt so lonely
but maybe you needed
just about anyone
oh, Grayson
where did you go

Love You Now

trace the patterns in your steps
inflections, what you might’ve meant
jealousy or envy
doesn’t matter, they’re both easy
and every time I reach for you
I stop myself so you don’t have to
scared of being dependent
shut you out in my resentment
and this tension ties me up
one hand reaching for the gun
but then I hear you from the back seat
singing to yourself
and I know I’ve felt this feeling
lying on your couch
the shower drowns you out
I think I could love you now
wish I could meet you for a second time
and see you through a stranger’s eyes
so gracious, pure as porcelain
not a trace of your exhaustion
with the innocence of childhood
they hold you up like atlas would
when everything’s about you
it just makes me hate me more
but then our eyes meet and I’m laughing
dancing by yourself
and you act like no one’s watching
while they enjoy the view
they’re all in love with you
and I think I love you too
you’re tearing me apart in my dreams
you’re everything I wished I would be
but I can feel my heart turn slowly
I see what everybody else sees
I want to be the wind in your wings
all this doubt has made me numb
I just want so much to trust you’ll hold me up
because I hear you from the back seat
singing to yourself
and I know I’ve felt this feeling
lying on your couch
the shower drowns you out
I think I could love you now
