you seem uncomfortable you're breathing harder than you usually do your lungs are full of more smoke than air when you kiss me, i choke i can't tell if you're trying to be loving or exert your power when you bring me up from the dirt, leave me by the flowers i dont want to be mad at you it's hard to be mad at you just say sorry or a thank you it's hard to be mad at you tequila is sweeter but as deadly as a gun i am afraid to turn twenty-one it's hard to think about being in someone else's shoes 'cause their feet are too small? what if yours are just huge? i dont want to be mad at you it's hard to be mad at you just say sorry or a thank you it's hard to be mad at you

Last Year 02:51
feeling sad again summer's ending, getting colder feeling bad again i'm burning out in many layers i can see the sun shining down on me as i shiver green leaves turn to red, it's fall and i'm falling backwards but you know what they say, two steps forward, one step back two steps forward, one step back the novelty's wearing off all new shoes turn to brown when will my life take off? while learning to swim, you can still drown i can see the clouds in the sky as i shiver it's winter now and i'm tripping over my feet i moved again to feel better and i think i feel worse two steps forward, one step back two steps forward, one step back

Dream 05:09
take a deep breath inhale, exhale, good now fake a smile i've always been good at pleasing crowds it's time to be reborn do i know how to be a child? i was born a mother as petals fall off my friends i wait for my own to bloom who's dream am i living? it's certainly not mine go and hide, don't waste anyone's time i'm running from my own god damn mind dead flowers become fertilizers for others wilting down and supporting their roots i want to continue to grow i want to continue to grow i wear my heart on my sleeve to remind me it still beats what life am i living? it's not going right gotta pay to work, and then i'll work until i die just need a break from being alive who's dream am i living? it's certainly not mine i run and hide, don't waste no fucking time i am running from my own god damn mind what life am i living? it's not going right pay to work, and then i'll work until i die just need a break from being alive

Virgo Rising 03:08
you asked me if it's okay, but what else could i say? don't justify yourself to me actions have consequences guess you didn't learn that life lesson just stay here a while can you help me? can you hold me? navigating these streets alone four houses, zero rent you always said i'm your biggest accomplishment why do i feel so cold? you're supposed to be my safety blanket seasons change like your hair don't want to compare for when i think with tears these really were the best years can you help me? can you hold me? navigating these streets alone am i selfish or is that you? am i worth it, or did you give that up, too? do i even know you? do you wanna get coffee at two?

Icarus 03:46
are you invisible? i can see right through you clear as glass you break as doors slam i've seen your true colors why do you hide them? i can't tell when you're lying sometimes, the truth hurts more i hear your stone cold vulnerability as i look at your silence we both come from the same blood but our worlds couldn't be more different you're not strong you piss me off little child little one you spread your wings and flew too close to the sun take a lesson from icarus see what he's become you blow away like the ash you smoke you're so delicate, a porcelain doll as the tub fills and the drain clogs we are walking on eggshells trying not to disturb your peace are you invisible? i can see right through you clear as glass you break as doors slam i see your true colors why do you hide them? i can't tell when you're lying sometimes, the truth hurts more
