I caught you sleeping by the river last night Only and in my heart is chest beating I can't tell if it's been days or weeks or no time has passed at all Until I become anxious I won't fall Desperate to learn again What i've sold But I still miss you You're so bad for me You're so bad for me You're so bad for me But I cannot quit You're so bad for me You're so bad for me You're so bad for me But I cannot quit

constantly 01:29
Forgotten what it's like to feel love Happens too often , what is wrong with me Pretty sure I'm not the only one There's a saying there We're all islands Wake up and fall back asleep Check my phone No one is ever known Marketing the best parts of myself Wish to be someone else And the truth is I think sometimes I struggle with the difference Between love and attention And honestly I don't think I'm the only one And I ask myself Constantly What is real love, what is real love look like

Dada Song 00:40
At language dance twisted mouth There sometimes that happens a moment We are blazed to sink for ready mysterious Are seen go by 20 years later To you why distance mountain intimidates Pee held in back my age table around

Seldom that I'm with you I can think of anything else Keeping myself tensed up Keeps from getting close enough And seldom that I'm with alone And not wishing for someone to touch me But seldom that I'm with you And enjoying being close to you What's the point of all this stuff that always going on? Most of it's pure garbage and I'm left fighting like a dog Just to get to the heart of the matter I don't think that life Gets any better than this It just keeps going on In an endless stream of piss Even the moments I like Pass so swiftly I can't catch them And the ones I don't think as nice Also happen faster than lightning Sometimes I can't even tell if any of this real Clock moves faster slower Depending on how I feel Relative to the stars way out in the sky But to the stars we're the ones far away

net worth 02:46
When you walk down Clinton St I notice your jacket and the brand you are smoking I don't wanna talk cause that's not really my thing But I'll stop to consider alternate realities I think you're prettier than me I think you're prettier than I'll ever be You look so good getting off the train I notice your jacket and your single braid I'm sure that we met in some past life awhile ago You broke my heart, said let's just take it slow I think you're prettier than me I think you're prettier than I'll ever be I would like to crawl inside your brain to learn the ways You deal with your problems maybe I could take a page From the book of so and so passersby along the way To my shitty job, I say at least I'm getting paid I think you're prettier than me I'll think you're prettier than I'll ever be

Tiny Animals 03:12
What if to work I wore a suit and tie Combed my hair real nice In business meetings I'd sigh Negotiating deals on foreign trade The wigs on Wall St, they'd all know my name There'd be no songs 'cept the little I played in college How I remember the days That cover of wonderwall was flawless ahahaha Let's catch a flight to london We'll star in some movies or make out under a bridge I don't care if it's cloudy As long as you're the first thing I see when I wake up People in power thinking their hot shots While we rule our own bodies That's all we've got And I wanna spend all my time finding new ways to thrive With anyone who'll take my hand say, let's do it Let's waste our whole lives Tiny animals, that's all we are Don't forget when you're driving your car Tiny grains of sand Living on the land Only for a moment That's all we've got

Good for poetry or good for nothing Live in the truth truth in the power Past into present present into future Time would not stand still Time would not stand still Time would not stand still Time would not stand still Time would not stand still Time should not stand still Time would not stand still Time should not stand still Garbage bag replacer Wing tips evervescent Now at last you grasp and you find an eraser Can't take it back Can't take it back Can't leave the hatchback unattended cause I'm intentional Stoplight cause I missed you On the way home from the world That I can't explain it Meant that it meant more than Ever knew was true When I write a letter And you wore that sweater L's turn into q's Now the words will fail you Cause there's more than that to truth Hardened wind blows through Last I meant to tell you What do freezer lawns do I know you want me too

Running my fingers down your scalp Checking for strands that need help Glossy and smooth Most they are Some stick up from a static charge All the many of textures of your hair Wispy or stiff or completely bare When your hair gets in your face I see many textures interplay Stroking your head with my palm The depth of its hues makes me calm Each strand of hair shines, I stare Palpitating I take a closer look All the many textures of your hair Straight across bangs and your subtle layers I like when your hair gets in your face I gently push it back into place
