Somethings trapped inside Twisting all in sight I know that something's wrong Write it in a song Nothing's what I speak Silence isn't weak Truth I know is wrong Write it in a song And if I were to say the words All would be undone So I'll scream incoherently Into a microphone And you'll look dead into my eyes, the words will pass right through And I would do anything To disguise the truth I am just afraid of the words I'd say Words that only harm written in a song Clutch the empty space between us every day I know that this is wrong My instinct's always wrong And if I were to say the words All would be undone So I'll scream incoherently Into a microphone And you'll look dead into my eyes, words will pass right through And I would do anything To disguise the truth written in a song Write it in a song After all, it's just a song. After all, it's just a song. After all, it's just a song.

Worm 02:32
Thanks for letting me crash last night I finally got some goddamn rest And I could match your breathing And I'm dreading sleeping alone again Alone again We're alone, laying in the dark again Are those your hands around my neck? And I could match your breathing And I'm dreading sleeping alone again Alone again I'm wriggling around

I can't come to work today, 'cause I did not plan to be awake And I'm not going out my way to do my best When I did not expect to draw another breath I can't come to work like this it's just another day like this Every day is the same: heart breaking, pointless Every day is the same until I draw my last breath And I can't guarantee That I will be Ready tomorrow Ready tomorrow Ready tomorrow Ready tomorrow and I don't want to wake up and I don't want to wake up and I don't want to wake up tomorrow wake up

Halfway Home 01:54
You can call and I'll try to say something smart. You can talk talk talk all night and I'll bury it inside. Just bear in mind that I am not your keeper But I'll let you stay for a while Just bear in mind that you are not alone But I can't be your halfway home.

In certain circles, I am noted. And, for that, I am elated Not to feel so fucking loaded, And to feel so fucking hated. See you there inside. Snapdragons and a lotus. "Front door is fucking gated!" And you think that I would notice, But I couldn't find a way in. Now call an academic. Call three doctors and a sadist. They'll tell you "It's systemic, And it really hurts to say this."

Bathing in the blue light of my secret room hoping no one spots me there. But I'm hoping that you'll find me I'm hoping that you will come and run your fingers through my hair Hiding in the covers of the hanging tree Tendril branches in the wind I'm hiding from my loved ones From their concerned gaze Don't you dare remind me why I Shouldn't feel this way Curling up tighter Bathing in the blue light Making myself smaller Bathing in the blue light

NPR 02:13
I'd like to be a social worker but I'm not qualified at all I'd hang with all the kids I'd play cards and basketball I'd like to apologize for what my country does every day I'd like to do something about it, but you know I'd only get in the way And, oh How am I going to deal with this, for the rest of my life? And, oh I really dig pens, but I hate guns and knives, hey, hey I'd like to be a social worker, but I'm not qualified at all I'd hang with all the refugees; I'd play cards and basketball I'd like to apologize for the actions of the USA I'd like to do something about it but you know I'd only get in the way And, oh How am I going to deal with this For the rest of my life? And, oh I really dig pens but I hate guns and knives hey, hey
