Capable Of Love
So we have a date prepared
It's in your writing, don't forget
I know last time you had doubts so you said
That you couldn't make it
Lets do later instead
Right now I think you're the cause of my grief
And I haven't slept well for a week
You are somebody that I want to keep
But you said, "It's not deep,"
and to that answer, I weep
I think I need a picture
'cause it's never enough
To see you smilin' in my mind
when I lie still in the dark
It starts with you
I'm obsessed with the idea
that one day he breaks up
'Cause after that I know
I'll never be as capable of love
After you
* * *
Waltz (Better Than Fine)
If you don't have a song
To sing you're okay
You know how to get along
Humming
If you don't have a date
Celebrate
Go out and sit on the lawn
And do nothing
'Cause it's just what you must do
Nobody does it anymore
No, I don't believe
in the wasting of time
But I don't believe
that I'm wasting mine
If you don't have a point to make
Don't sweat it
You'll make a sharp one
being so kind
And I'd sure appreciate it
Everyone else's goal's
to get big-headed
Why should I follow that beat
being that I'm
Better than fine

Black Crow
Every year that goes by,
I just seem to get older
And the tide goes up
and the water washes over
And I know myself less,
going in and out my head
Going in and out my head,
hooded death gets a boner
Fucking sickos,
fucking sickos everywhere
And you got your nails long
Why'd you cut off all your hair?
Are you fucking doing okay?
I'll be a black crow
in my next life
Flying over an office park
I smash and curse this skin
Oh, I dig and dig and dig
Pulling away at the fat and muscle,
always searching further in
Somewhere deep inside my body
has to be the answer for everything
Somewhere deep inside my body
has to be the reason
for why I'm like this
* * *
i want it all
I looked at the spotlight
and it hurt my eyes
Fell in love with the subtext
before I saw the signs
And I hung all the flags
under red lights
God, it looks like a dead drop
from this height
But I want it all
'Til my last breath,
nobody takes it from me
I should feel lucky,
but I'm upset
I did everything right,
so explain it again
I'm a no one,
and her beauty's complex?
All that separates us
is a blank check
Say the word,
I'm what you want
Integrity didn't get me this far
Say the word, I'll come undone
Oh, I need that trophy

Locals (Girls Like Us)
Machinery, catharsis, technology
Rag-tag, transcendent, slapstick
Try-hard, high-strung, neurotic
Blue Cross, golden arches, pearly gates
Supermarket, interstate, picket fence
Domestic, citizen's arrest, vestibule
Two-story, J name, gas station,
phantom pain
Art therapist, eggshell white,

Private property, killing point,

Arms, body, legs, flesh,
skin, bone, sinew
Good luck
I've done the questionnaire
like 700 times
To get the same results as my friend
We've been inseparable since 2009
She just doesn't know 'bout it yet
Stop me if you've heard this one before
Girls like us are rotten to the core
Someday life will knock us off our horse
Baby, I'm delusional,
impractical is crucial
It's the talk of the town
* * *
misplace
So this is where I go now
Talk to them, grasp at
what nobody knows about
It's never scary when the light's out
Come join me in my hideout
I stay underground 'til the sun's out
If we watch this
you might blow your brains out
This face is always ugly
when it's nice out
I guess you weren't meant
for my hideout
And when I woke up,
I was so confused
Endured, who put me here?
"It wasn't me,"
said the one with filthy hands
Maybe being a bitch
just wasn't a mistake
You get so pissed
when someone's in your space
And all that you can say,
"I never needed you guys anyway"
It started raining knives
Soon enough I found a place to hide
And I still wasn't satisfied
I went outside to go look for time
* * *
gec 2 Ü
I look outside and see your bright eyes
I don't know if I can get to you
Don't know if I'll be back
I don't know how to be alone
I'm always looking at the phone
Waiting for your call
I can see it right now
You're sitting all alone,
and you call me on the phone
And you say, "I need love,
can you get to me now?"
I needed this
more than you will ever know
Dishes are piling up
But that's cool
'Cause at least we got food
Tell me that you don't want to bug me
I'll tell you, "Baby,
bein' here is nothing"
Call me anytime you're feelin' lonely
And I'm running home to be with you
* * *
A Pearl
You're growing tired of me
You love me so hard
and I still can't sleep
You're growing tired of me
And all the things
I don't talk about
Sorry, I don't want your touch
It's not that I don't want you
Sorry, I can't take your touch
It's just that I fell in love with a war
Nobody told me it ended
And it left a pearl in my head
And I roll it around
Every night, just to watch it glow
Every night, baby,
that's where I go
There's a hole that you fill
You fill, you fill
* * *
I've Seen Footage
What's that
Can't tell
Hand held dream
Shot in hell
Deep space ghetto
Show me somethin'
I ain't seen before
Mystery hind that
Death door
Creeps up behind me
Over my shoulder
Turn around try to see
But it's nowhere
Noided, noided
Static on my blindside
I seen footage, I stay noided
Everybody's knowin'
Where ya think you're goin'
ain't goin' nowhere
I stay noided,
stimulation overload
account for it
Desensitized
by the mass amounts of shit
I've seen it, I've been it
Can't delete it feels like jail
* * *
Blue Eyes
Tongue-tied forever
No, I can't get you back
to the way you were,
remember, that day?
And I don't know
how to face myself
Day after day,
living's a cry for help
No, I can't go on
the way I've been with you
I don't wanna lose you
When blue eyes cry
It makes you wanna
turn your life all grey
Like a too dark day
in the summer
Take it back,
I gave all my love away
If I were you,
I'd find another
to take my place
* * *
Telephone
I feel so stupid
I feel so dumb
I think my heart is a weapon
Yeah my mind's pulling
all of the strings
But did you hear what she said?
All of those terrible things?
Couldn't stand to hear anymore
I just know that it's all about me
Hurry your cries right off the shore
Have I been losing my touch,
is it the way that I talk?
Can't remember what I did
Wish that you could tell me
But I don't really wanna know
Telephone, telephone wires
Have we been breaking up?
Tear up the invitation
Stifle this baited breath
Longing for some indifference
So grows this loneliness
Sticks and stones are broken
Still fighting the currents
* * *
Delete
The shortest skirt in my drawer
Just enough to show it off
and leave 'em all wantin' more
I'm exposed to my core
Modern, mega, digital, meta,
matin' ritual
I'm sorry, I promise
it'll be gone in the mornin'
I only posted it
so you would see it
I was so deep
in my late night feelings
Didn't mean it, it was stupid
I chose a song you like
in case you saw it
I'm on show on that phone
in your pocket
I'll delete it
Once you've seen it with your eyes
I want you surprised
I want you to see
what's underneath me
I want you to see
what you're missing out on
And how we could've had fun
And how it could've been all yours
I'm in my bed, it's late at night
I can't keep my hands by my side
I take a breath and oh my God
I open up and there's butterflies
It's because I'm so obsessed with you
