I’ll leave you alone
but not for long
my sweet little homeboy
you keep me on the hook, like your toy
I’m done feeling sorry for you, softboy
I won’t wait around no no
I won’t wait around no
I won’t wait around
oh maybe for a little while
worry about the world all day
anxiously safe in your little cocoon
what are you up to today
won’t you give me a kiss, homeboy
see me with your friends flirting away
we could’ve had some fun but you chose this way
stare into the moon and see my face
I'll soon be gone without a trace

We’re not friends when we go to the bar
We’re not friends you can’t borrow my guitar
We’re not friends I won’t give you a ride
We’re not friends, we’re not friends
We’re not friends when I joke around
We’re not friends except maybe online
We’re not friends when you crash on my couch
We’re not friends, we’re not friends
We’re not friends dude, yes it’s true
I’m no more than an acquaintance to you
We’re not friends creep leave me be
I don’t have to explain myself to you
I don’t care about you, I don’t care about you
We’re not friends so stop calling me up
We’re not friends, I’ve zero interest in your life
We’re not friends, I was just being nice
We’re not friends, we’re not friends
We’re not friends cuz you filmed my band
We’re not friends what a twist at the end
We’re not friends when we text back and forth
We’re not friends, so move along
We’re not friends man, just go away
You’re not entitled to my time in any way
We’re not friends that’s the cold hard truth
So stop your attempts at gaslighting too
I’m not friends with you, I’m not friends with you
We’re not friends cuz we went to the movies once
We’re not friends cuz I liked your posts once or twice
We’re not friends cuz I know you want more
I don’t wish to talk to you anymore
We’re not friends cuz you’re super boring
We’re not friends cuz you give me the chills
We’re not friends you fucking creep
I don’t owe you my time!
I’m not friends with you, I’m not friends with you
We’re not friends, you manic fuck
We’re not friends, cuz you fucking suck
We’re not friends so leave me alone
We’re not friends dude move along
We’re not friends I won’t take care of you
You better go cry to someone else
I don’t care about you
Or your stupid feelings
We’re not friends dude yes it’s true
I’m no more than an acquaintance to you
We’re not friends dude
I don’t like you
I don’t like you

Coward

It’s been one big shitshow and now
You’re just a guy that I used to know and I
Want you to know that I slept with your best friend
And it felt so great
I didn’t wanna be right, just wanted peace of mind
Now I’m left with a broken heart
You’ve brought this on yourself
With all your lies and your joker smiles
You’re a fake nice guy and a jerk at heart
You’re just a coward and nothing more
Love is a war I was unprepared to fight
I owe it to myself not to let you back in my heart
You’re a mistake that must be only done once
With all your lies and your sinister smiles
Player you just got played
You’ve brought it all on yourself
Like Courtney says, someday you’ll ache like I ache
I didn’t ask for much but you’re just a big old
Coward and nothing more
It’s been one big shitshow and you’ve
Proven yourself unworthy of my time
and I want you to know that I fucked your best friend
And it felt so great

so I heard you tell your friends
that I go around lying about having fucked
well first of all I ain’t telling no one
why would i mention such an immemorable fuck?
besides it’s not like you’re such a god damn rockstar
that I’d be gloating about my conquest
I mean look at you and look at me
and then shut your fucking mouth you creep
oh oh
fragile masculinity at work again
oh oh
I think you need a reality check, man
so I’m trying to understand
why’d you badmouth me this way
might it have to do with the fact that
you’re embarrassed about your performance?
I mean I didn’t really care but I could see how you were not thrilled
about your premature ejaculation
oh oh
what a pathetic little man
oh oh
did you think you’d get a bad rep?
oh oh
if you didn’t have such a big mouth, no one would know you’re a lousy lay
oh oh
talk all you want, it doesn’t change the fact that
you’re a garbage person with no self respect
oh come on
have a little dignity
you’re a twister, you’re such a twister
and an immemorable lay!

Fake Friends
02:56
|

I thought we were real friends
turns out we’re just scene friends
I thought you’d stick up for me
just as i’m always here for you
oh no we’re just fake friends
I mourn the loss of a part of myself
that loved you and felt alive with you
and after all’s been said and done
now you’re just some girl I once thought I knew
friends don’t lie to friends for no reason at all
I took you for real but you’re just a fake
you’ll smile to my face as long as you need me
life of the party all day and night
but once the glitter fades you’re gone
I thought we were for real, but looks like we were just fake friends
I thought we were real friends
but turns out we were just pretend

Fuck Your Racist Borders

Fuck your racist borders
Fuck your racist borders
Welcome asylum seekers
It’s time to decolonize
Fuck your racist borders
Fuck your racist borders
Deport useless politicians
It’s time we take back what’s ours
A mountain of wealth built on plummeting
A mountain of wealth built on exploitation
A sea of white privilege we’re all drowning in
I work twice as hard and can barely survive
Global South called
We want our world back
It’s time we get organized
Our back breaking labor took you this far
It’s time we take back what was stolen from us
Fuck your racist borders
Fuck your racist borders
In solidarity with all the marginalized
Fuck your racist borders
Fuck your racist borders
Whose security really matters?
Freedom of movement for all
The planet’s dying due to overconsumption
We all suffer to make you richer
Having destroyed peaceful ways of being
Eradicated ancient ways of knowing
You don’t get to call yourselves civilized
You’re corrupt, exploitative and morally bankrupt
You’re a bunch of thieves and thugs and murderers
Enforcing your ways with guns
Fuck your racist borders
Fuck your racist borders
Welcome asylum seekers
It’s time we organize
Fuck your racist borders
Fuck your racist borders
Deport useless politicians
It’s time we take back what’s ours
Freedom of movement for all
Global justice long time coming
Reparations and respect
We take back what belongs to us
You scavengers take advantage of collapsing economies
Our lives are like tissues you toss
We’re trapped in the midst of a totalitarian regime
While the world is a putty in your hands
You can shove your thoughts and prayers up your ass
You drew a line in the sand and now the winds will blow you far
Fuck your racist borders
Fuck your racist borders
In solidarity with all the marginalized
Fuck your racist borders
Fuck your racist borders
Welcome asylum seekers
It’s time to decolonize
Fuck your racist borders
Fuck your racist borders
Deport useless politicians
It’s time we reclaim our lives
Fuck your racist borders
Fuck your racist borders
Whose security really matters?
It’s time we fight, we organize

Arrogant Eye
03:01
|

|
Think of all the time we could have saved
Instead of counting calories
Or waiting for that text that never comes
Feeling abandoned and lonely
Staring at the body parts we hate
For nothing’s ever good enough
For the arrogant eye that just doesn’t know how to love
Starving ourselves and then eating up all the attention
Like crumbs off the floor
Craving what we fail to give ourselves and each other
We could have built ourselves sanctuaries
Of self-love and community care
With all the time that we have and cherish
Or write novels and see the world or
Just enjoy each others’ company
When we fail one another it’s cuz we’ve failed ourselves
So why not give these patterns of self-loathing a rest
By building bridges of support and respect we could lift each other up
For nothing’s ever good enough for the one who can’t see lovingly
I’m not alive to please the eye
I’m not alive to make you feel fine
I’m my own person and I’m enough
And I’m just here to enjoy the ride
I’m not alive to please the eye
I don’t owe anyone any of my time
Think of all the time we could have saved
Instead of counting calories
Or waiting for that text that never comes
Feeling abandoned and lonely
Staring at the body parts we hate
For nothing’s ever good enough
For the arrogant eye that just doesn’t know how to love
Starving ourselves and then eating up all the attention
Like crumbs off the floor
Craving what we fail to give ourselves and each other
We could have built ourselves sanctuaries
Of self-love and community care
With all the time that we have and cherish
Or write novels and see the world or
Just enjoy each others’ company
When we fail one another it’s cuz we’ve failed ourselves
So why not give these patterns of self-loathing a rest
By building bridges of support and respect we could lift each other up
For nothing’s ever good enough for the one who can’t see lovingly
I’m not alive to please the eye
I’m not alive to make you feel fine
I’m my own person and I’m enough
And I’m just here to enjoy the ride
I’m not alive to please the eye
I don’t owe anyone any of my time
I’m a whole person and I’m enough
So stop going around wasting my time"

Riot
02:18

I thought you got your scars in a bar fight
But oh no you just fell down the stairs
At your suburban home no less
When the lights go out
Don't you let the monsters eat you up
I knew a time when we were everywhere
All up in everybody’s faces
Now the streets are all empty
Where did all the kids go?
where did the riot go
where did the rebel go
where did the riot go
where did the rebel go
Cuz you can talk the talk and walk the walk
But rationality's overrated
Now I’m stuck in this place where all the dogs are trained
and kids never misbehave
Everyone is super fake nice
no one ever steps out of line
I remember when we were everywhere
Whatever happened to that fire?
Now everything’s plastic and sterile
Manufactured overseas
When did shit get so boring?
Am I the one who’s out of touch?
where did the riot go
where did the rebel go
where did the riot go
where did the rebel go
Cuz you can talk the talk and walk the walk
But rationality's overrated
Rationality's overrated

The Bane of My Existence
02:53
|
|||
|
I can’t even seem to remember the pain now
there’s just this uneasy aftertaste
of something that could have been great
if only we weren’t so stuck in our ways
up the dosage of your medication
to compensate for your lack of courage
you’re still dishonest with yourself
and it doesn’t matter what you tell them
if you could be that person
why couldn’t you have been that for me?
I haven’t matured, just grown older
weary, insecure, and afraid
I became more like you and you became more like me
and that’s just so fucking unfair
I had so much love and joy in me
slowly but surely replaced by anxiety
if you could be that for her
why couldn’t you have been there for me?
and there is no redemption
no light at the end of the tunnel
just the flow of time
with no rhyme nor reason
you gotta crumble to become whole again
in a broken ship withstanding the storm
all will not be fine
but I’ll be here somehow, somewhere

Rust & Lament
03:03
|

|
There is life poured
Flowing right behind
Days that are spent
To be spent without
Well you sell rust
You sell lament
A patchwork of your choice
You sell rust
You sell lament
With a blue ribbon on top
So you screwed yourself
For resemblances
Itsy-bitsy truth they buy
In tiny boxes
Well you'd settle for anything
And you're kind of boring
See, see out there
They'll still be
No power shall destroy
This duality
Where's your slice?
There is life poured
Flowing right behind
And then there is your kind
You'll settle for anything
And get even more boring
“we may have hours
we may have years
but sooner or later
we push up flowers”
You sell rust you sell lament
You sell rust you sell lament
You sell rust you sell lament
There is rust and you lament

It’s alright that I don’t get what I want
I tend toward self-ruin anyways
I don’t understand people and I don’t need to
I promised myself that I’d be healthier
And do what’s best for me but it’s so hard
My therapist says that being unloved doesn’t mean I’m unlovable
I made you a care package for the cold hard winter
I did it for me, I knew you’d fall for someone else
and it’s alright
We’ll always have that lovely day at the lake
walking for hours, talking about nothing and everything all at once
The heart wants what it wants
I can barely manage being an adult
I made a conscious decision to disrupt the pattern
I choose to love myself
and assume responsibility to grow into a truer version
and let shine the best in me
It was a fun summer regardless with all the childish games we played
now it’s time to change out of these cargo shorts and broken hearts
and kiss my sadness goodbye
I knew we weren’t meant to be
but I wished on you anyways
now it’s time that I wish on myself
I’m doing swimmingly by myself
I’m doing splendidly by myself

It’s been a weird fucking year
with hard lessons learned and so much loss
I don’t know if there’s a silver lining here
I just know that I’m all undone
I don’t know how to comfort you
I don’t know how to say it’ll be all okay
when everything points to the contrary
just know that I’m here to stay
I don’t know how to make it all go away
I simply don’t know how to look the other way
if I were to pour out my heart to you
would you step on it or tread it lightly
I just don’t know
if I poured out my heart you
would you walk all over it or take it all the way
I just don’t know
I just don’t know
I just don’t know
it doesn’t hurt as much anymore
