Uncomfortable

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

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

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

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

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
