if everything happens at the same time you were born the same day you died and all the things you left and are leaving behind paint the prettiest pictures in my mind I still call you in my dreams, you still say the same things suicide letter ya don’t need anymore a million thank yous you chose to ignore if everything happens at the same time you were born the same day you died and all the things you left and are leaving behind paint the prettiest pictures in my mind and there is nothing left unsaid cause were always talking in my head and the cemetery map in my mind, even after death you were so find to find if everything happens at the same time you were born the same day you died and all the blessings you left and are leaving behind are more tangible than the images in my mind

I don't mind if you call me when you're not feelin well, doesn't even bother me if that's the only time you reach out I have enough space to hold for the whole world, it's the best shot I've got at filling up my empty well and I don't mind if you forget both of my middle names as long as you remember how sweet I taste no-one ever talks about the nuances of being along, how much easier it is to trample your ego wish I could have seen through your eyes when you found out that I'm not the person you built in your head best friends doesn't mean nothin when you're not doin the best that you can lover's another word for getting one over on someone when you're not doin the best that you can I hope you forget all of my names, I hope you forget how sweet I taste

well I am a clown, I'm sure you're admiring all the pretty girls around would you still sleep with me even if I identify as non binary? you laugh at all my jokes, but you pull away when I get close you kinda injured my vibe it's not important if you like me it's not important if you like me but I still think about how nice it would be

old news, I'm leaving it behind and the sick taste of your mouth pressed on mine revenge is such a petty thing to seek, when all I had to do was focus more on me cause an eye for an eye makes the whole world cry cause an eye for an eye makes the whole world cry it's nothin new, just out from under you you spit venom while I protect the truth cause an eye for an eye makes the whole world cry cause an eye for an eye makes the whole world cry gotta rinse it out, gotta rinse it out, gotta rinse it out now

black creek 02:06
I fell asleep floating down black creek I had the sweetest dream you were next to & kissin on me I was loaded on pbr & too much sun Mother Nature looked out for me but honey, you are the sweetest dream wish I could, but I can't do much of nothing I fell asleep floating down black creek I had the sweetest dream you were next to & kissing on me I was loaded on weed don't know how I avoided the banks and all those scary things but honey you are the sweetest dream wish I could, but I can't do much of nothing I fell asleep floating down black creek

I retired my pitchfork, you found it in the trash I lost my balance on, on your crooked back I won't speak a word of ill out loud I'll repent for all my sins, I'm not proud you said be good or be gone, and you were never wrong cut your finger on my edge, a would that bleeds and spreads I have polished my pitchfork and it's ready for your neck I have polished my pitchfork and it's ready for your throat

quicksand? 02:46
something in my brain makes it hard to make you dissipate are you a man or are you quicksand? are your teeth still rotting out from all the lies in your mouth? do you feel the absence on your skin from where my fingers have been, or were you just play acting when you told me it felt right? are you a man or are you quicksand? it's hard to tell are you a man or are you quicksand? it's hard to tell when it's late at night

non fiction 04:12
cold shoulder, call me out didn't matter then sure doesn't matter now in all those books you read did you imagine yourself as the protagonist feelin' helpless and alone? never realized you played the opposite role would you rewrite me if you could? all the dialogue, I never understood cold shoulder, babe, doesn't mean a thing not then, not now, it's only what is gone in all those books you read did you imagine yourself as the protagonist feeling helpless and alone? never realized you played the opposite role cold shoulder, babe, it's alright I've learned pretty well by now how to keep myself warm at night fresh skin and fresh blood and brand new bones, sometimes it's rough, I didn't sign up to do alone in all those books you read did you imagine yourself as the protagonist feeling helpless and alone? never realized you played antagonist role
