My mama said you stole her gun and
My papa said you’ll never be the one
My brother told me it’s all true
I don’t care I love you
But I can’t forgive you
Now your head aches
And your cheeks are all wet
From a memory you refuse to forget
They’re all asking you “what is wrong?”
You can’t tell them
Cause you cant say anything at all
Go on cry if you’re so unhappy
Go on cry i make you so unhappy
Go on cry
Why would you lie to me
When I go, are you asking me to leave?
Do you finally know what
It’s like to be free?
I’m only asking, only asking
Cause I want to know
I need to know
Do I need to know?
I want to know
Go on cry if you’re so unhappy
Go on cry I make you so unhappy
Go on cry

You will learn to love me like a friend
I’m sure of it
I sang to a crow and
That’s what she said
But it was foolish of me
To believe that we could be
Anything more than
Something superficially
The pain is sharp today as it was
When you first dug into me
I keep imagining your face in everything i see
Behind churches
Neon alleys
Or the street lights flashing
Red gold green
Waiting on me
Don’t you want me to be?
Now I’m pulling down your sleeves to hide
Out stretched arms scarred by
Your suicide
Your pointed fingers, rope burns
Your butterflies
I’m pulling down your sleeves to hide
The waves break hard under a pacific pier
But it’s hard to tell with all the salt
Mixed up with teenage tears
And that sad sad sad California rain
Falling down all over
Downtown LA
All I wanna do is…

I’m bleeding out in a suburban town
I heard you’re sleeping down
At MacArthur park now
They’re burning candles
In memory
One for you maybe one for me too
And I’m screaming out a eulogy
In the concrete
I think maybe you can finally hear me
Hey. Wait.
Where are you going where have you been?
Where are you now? It’s 3am and
Your lights are on but you’re not home
And you’re not answering
Why aren’t you answering your phone?
We got in a fight in the kitchen
About the broken promises
Under layers of our skin
This wasn’t a slow decline
More like a landslide
Parts of me are open I didn’t know I had
You can see down to the bone
And I think I can hear you now with my soul
But I’m a creep and I’m a weirdo
Hey! Wait!
Where are you going where have you been?
Where are you now? It’s 3am and
Your lights are on but you’re not home
You’re not answering,
Why aren’t you answering your phone?
Maybe you needed a little more sleep
You always needed more sleep than me

You used to be so obsessed with me
You’d do anything I’d ask of you
Outstretched my hand
My desire would come pouring out of you
But lately you’ve been distant
Like you don’t want to stay
Is it my abrasiveness or fading looks
That are pushing you away?
I just forget to breathe when you’re not there
To remind me
Just please tell me what I can do
Cause I’m drowning in my bathtub
Spending all these nights all alone
Without you
And it’s hard to stay awake
After all the pills I take
When you’re not there to
Shake me out of it
I just forget to breathe when you’re not there
To remind me

It came in yesterday
Thrashing all around
Washed away everything, everyone
First the old then the young
The wars begun
The shoreline is forever changed
Changed forever for the worse not the better
I woke up again and everyone’s underwater
If you knew how to float or swim
You may be safe today
But tomorrow you’ll still have to watch them all
Floating away
The fate of the witnesses
Complicit are the saved
You could have done more
You should have done more
But now it’s too late
And you see yourself in that stillness
Staring back from the ocean floor
Hopeless helpless
A vacation notice
Pinned to your front door
If you knew how to float or swim
You may be safe today
But tomorrow you’ll still have to wake up
With consequences to face
It’s happening now and it will happen again
It’s all happening now
And it will all happen again

Picking up your Teeth

Maybe I like this cycle of abuse
You keep on changing your tune
It’s guilt and pills that bend me to your will
And make me feel sorry for you
I’m a pacifist
You’re a narcissist
You’re a passive agressivist
I don’t know how much more of it I can take
Freedom was you being in jail
Calling us asking to post up your bail
There’s not enough money in this world
To sell the sense of security I felt
With those bars up between us
And those guards up between us
I don’t believe in prisons
Don’t we all make exceptions
Cause I’m a pacifist
And you’re a narcissist
I’m a passive aggressivist
I don’t know how much more of it I can take
I’m a pacifist
You’re a narcissist
You’re a passive aggressivist
I don’t know how much more of it I can take
I am not that big of a girl
As you can see
And I am not nearly as brave
As I would like to be
I’m not smart I know that, you told me
But I know one thing. I know one thing
I am not afraid of you anymore
Daddy
I’m all done picking up my teeth
