Blowing clouds out the window Listening to songs on the stereo If you didn't already, gonna let you know You're what I need Pounding a Monster up at three, yeah I'm hearing everything I see, yeah I need a little bit of weed, yeah So I can hold back what I'm feeling, huh I think I'm gonna be sick like yuck I think I'm switching all goofy like hyuck I didn't think I'd wanna do more than fuck But you're what I want, yeah you're what I need And now I'm crying in the backseat And now I'm crying in the backseat You probably think this shit is getting kinda old You always fuckin' bounce and then the bed gets fuckin' cold I think I'm maybe catching feelings but they're slippery to hold And then I'm all alone, I'm just lying on my own You probably think this shit is getting kinda old You always fuckin' bounce and then the bed gets fuckin' cold I think I'm maybe catching feelings but they're slippery to hold And then I'm all alone, I'm just lying on my own I think I'm gonna be sick like yuck I think I'm switching all goofy like hyuck I didn't think I'd wanna do more than fuck But you're what I want, yeah you're what I need And now I'm crying in the backseat And now I'm crying in the backseat

Clean Slate 02:31
I'm starting fresh today I'll bury bones in the backyard I didn't know what to say, but I wasn't trying very hard I think I'll be okay Stuffed all my feelings in a jar But I'll start fresh today, I think I'll clean the slate I'm pouring wasabi and ginger down my gullet You're looking in the mirror shaving the sides of your mullet And I'm gonna kiss you on the mouth next time I see you But I hope I don't complete you, you needn't know I need you So you can start fresh tomorrow if you need to I wanna start fresh today Tired of reminders of my past Try to get over it, but it keeps kicking my ass That trauma really hits, and all my coping skills are trash But I wanna start fresh today, pretend it's all okay My self esteem is shoddy, and I'm anxious, full of nerves But I'll summon reckless confidence from the depths of my reserves If you run then you'll gain one, but moving forward you'll gain two And I hope that saying's true, if it's not what will I do? I'll just keep starting fresh as long as I need to I'm gonna start fresh today I'll bury bones in the backyard I didn't know what to say, but I wasn't trying very hard I think I'll be okay Stuffed all my feelings in a jar But I'll start fresh today, I think I'll clean the slate I think I'll clean the slate I think I'll clean the slate

No I can't be your little angel 'Cause you and I both know that heaven isn't where I'm going I'll be your slut, your little demon The succubus that haunts you when you're sleeping You've always been so good to me You see me take a bite out of every guy I see Why can't I feel your arms around me? It's quiet in the pool, and still you've found me I bet your lips taste candy sweet I wanna see you shed the layers underneath Oh baby, won't you let me sink my teeth into you? I bet your lips taste candy sweet I wanna see you shed the layers underneath Oh baby, won't you let me sink my teeth into you? Their adoration, it gets my motor running And I feel my life force draining when I spend the night alone The sweet sensation, it heals my soul As I spiral far beyond my own control And girl, you're my best friend, but don't you think that you can stop me I bet that you'd look prettier than ever if you topped me The stars align, your eyes meet mine, and suddenly it's clear Together we'd be couple of the year Assuming we don't kill each other here I bet your lips taste candy sweet I wanna see you shed the layers underneath Oh baby, won't you let me sink my teeth into you? I bet your lips taste candy sweet I wanna see you shed the layers underneath Oh baby, won't you let me sink my teeth into you? Oh, you got me feeling needy on repeat (Oh oh, oh oh) You know that I am hungry for release (Oh oh, oh-oh oh) I wanna feel your dagger pierce my heart and set me free (Set me free, set me free) Oh, you got me feeling needy on repeat (I bet your lips taste candy sweet) (Candy sweet) You know that I am hungry for release (I wanna see you shed the layers underneath) (Shed the layers underneath) I wanna feel your dagger pierce my heart and set me free (Oh baby, won't you let me sink my teeth into you?) Sink my teeth into Sink my teeth into you

The people machine is gonna overheat The people machine, they're fleeing in the streets The people machine is making people like me The people machine is making people like me The people machine is gonna overheat The people machine, they're fleeing in the streets The people machine is making people like me The people machine is making people like Oh shit, it's jammed It's churning out a trans "Hey sir, or ma'am? Hey, what is in your pants? I need to know, or I'll cast Imperio" Too bad, I've gotta go because I'm putting on a show Yeah I'm smashing in the door of your red RAV-4 And I'm making my escape, put the pedal to the floor I know you really want to see my ween But you'll never, ever get to see my peen

I love you You can do this You can make it There are people that can help you You don't have to do this alone I know you're tired I love you Once I ride this out I'll make up for the lost time The missed opportunities I promise And once I ride this out I can tell you if I'm scared I'll have the strength to be honest The taste of ginger cleanses my palette But then I'm left with the absence It might be better that I'm not tangled up But the cobwebs need dusting off And I don't know where I'm going now My purpose hasn't yet been found The stars can point me like a compass But with my senses dulled, I can't pick them out Once I ride this out (I love you) I'll make up for the lost time (You can do this) The missed opportunities (I know you're tired) I promise (There are people that can help you) And once I ride this out (You don't have to do this alone) You can hold me in your arms (I'm here for you, they're here for you) I'll have the strength to be honest (I know you're tired, I love you) I can feel it, a void is lingering in my core (You can do this, you can make it, tomorrow's just another day) As stress releases, muscles aching (It'll be okay, it'll be okay) I hope the prairie fills the land when cornfields die (Can you think about about all the things you're looking forward to tomorrow?) Returning back to a healthier life (You can do this, I know you're tired, I love you) And I don't know where I'm going now (You can do this) My purpose hasn't yet been found (You don't have to do this alone) The stars can point me like a compass (There are people that can help you) But with my senses dulled, I can't pick them out (I love you, I know you're tired, I love you)

Still Up? 03:53
I think that I've forgotten what it's like to feel alive And I don't know exactly how I'm supposed to heal I've been stuck inside this house for such a long, long time That it's hard to tell if time is even real Just rest, go to sleep What the hell are you still doing up, anyway? Just rest, tomorrow is calling you And what the hell are you still doing up, anyway? It's okay if I destroy myself It doesn't matter if no one else can see But me I haven't cut my hair and all the dye has faded out And I'm up past two, just staring at a screen Just rest, go to sleep What the hell are you still doing up, anyway? Just rest, tomorrow is calling you And what the hell are you still doing up, anyway? Just rest, go to sleep (But it happens every night, yeah it happens every night) What the hell are you still doing up, anyway? (But it happens every night, maybe this time it'll be alright) Just rest, tomorrow is calling you (But it happens every night, yeah it happens every night) And what the hell are you still doing up, anyway? (But it happens every night, maybe this time it'll be alright) Just rest, go to sleep (But it happens every night, yeah it happens every night) What the hell are you still doing up, anyway? (But it happens every night, maybe this time it'll be alright) Just rest, tomorrow is calling you (But it happens every night, yeah it happens every night) And what the hell are you still doing up, anyway? (But it happens every night, maybe this time it'll be alright)
