baby
been wasting away with you and there is nothing
nothing
baby
sitting in this room has brought me nothing
nothing
there's nothing between us
there's nothing between us
there's nothing anymore
there's no god between us
there's no god between us
there's no god anymore
and I just want something easy
I wanna make out with my friends
I just want something easy
I wanna make out with my friends
I just want something easy
I wanna make out with my friends
I just want something easy
I wanna make out with my friends
I wanna make out with my friends
I wanna make out with my friends
I wanna make out with my friends
I don't wanna try
I don't wanna have to earn it
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna burn right through it

Floral Mattress

ignoring you is bliss
while lying on his floral mattress
as for your town house
I always pass it
finding comfort in my casket
where's the exit sign?
I heard your keys
won't let your melodies
murder me
and I hope this scares you sober
and I'll play victim as you live on white
and I hope this scares you sober
my extinction keeps you up at night
hope it keeps you up at night
this was by far
my stalest summer
but he helped me recover
I used to paint you books
and write pretty lists
now they're just bruises on my wrist
there's the exit sign
please let me leave
my lungs are full of dried blood
from your disease
and I hope this scares you sober
and I'll play victim as you live on white
and I hope this scares you sober
my extinction keeps you up at night
hope it keeps you up at night

black hole where my head should be
can’t pay attention to anything
I’ve got a
black hole where my head should be
can’t pay attention to anything
black hole where my head should be
I can’t see what’s right in front of me
I need some
black holes where my eyes should be
if there’s a light it won’t escape from me
I would hire you to come and run me over with a truck
I would pay my friends to reassure me that they give a fuck
black hole where my heart should be
I can’t feel you lying next to me
I’ve got a
black hole where my heart should be
can’t feel you hanging on to me
black hole where my heart once was
can’t hear you singing through this fuzz
I’ve got a
black hole where my heart once was
can’t hear you singing through this fuzz
I would hire you to come and run me over with a truck
I would pay my friends to reassure me that they give a fuck

Sandspurs

I remember when you were sweet
pulled the sandspurs out of my feet
now you're kissing her on my loveseat
so I'll get drunk and admit defeat
does your dashboard still hold my hair
did you clean it while I wasn't there
do you still feel it in the air
am I clinging to an old affair
and I hear your voice with high-pitched clarity
you know I'm losing precious frequencies
the last five years my ears kept ringing
you know your roar was always deafening
I remember when you were sweet
you pulled the sandspurs out of my feet
why are you kissing her on my loveseat
when you live right down the street
does your dashboard still hold my hair
heard you cleaned it while she wasn't there
do you still feel it in the air
let's contrast and let's compare
and I hear your voice with high-pitched clarity
you know I'm losing precious frequencies
the last five years my ears kept ringing
you know your roar was always deafening
you're so deafening

death has a friendly face
let the pain be
mind bent ever so slight
let the pain be
hold on tight to what's not mine
let the pain be
this is the wisdom of the slave-
let the pain be
you're not the only monster from hell
day and night, got the glooms
let the pain be
ransom is the road i take
let the pain be
the flowers all grow to die
let the pain be
this is the wisdom of the slave-
let the pain be
you're not the only monster from hell
