FROM THERAPY 01:25
Shoutout to my therapist Who I guess I missed Several of my last appointments with... A weight has been lifted But it went through my heart You think you’re at the finish line You’re just at the start A weight has been lifted But it went through my wound It’s reopened and bloody Doesn’t mean a thing to you A weight has been lifted But it left me all bruised I feel kinda crazy You poisoned the truth You left me confused Who you gunna believe Your lyin' eyes or me A weight has been lifted But what the fuck is that gunna do I’m free to be Wild in the streets Except I’m still just home Thinkin’ of you

FREE T.V. 01:21
Why would I be upset I didn’t do anything that I regret I mean I know it’s the outcome Because how come I thought we were the best The memories obscured that’s the word with Perd Alone at home again watching Parks n Rec again It’s actually absurd Oversaturated with shows But isn’t that how it goes There’s new things at my fingertips But I still go to those That make me feel safe, stuck in the past Instead of getting off my ass And giving someone - I mean - something else a chance

FAKE TRAVEL 01:22
Love is purple haze, man It just fades, man It’s just a phase, man I see you looking at photos Of places you want to see Thinking leaving and escaping Are synonymous with free Not knowing wherever you go is exactly where you’ll be But I s’pose that’s fine with you S'long as it’s not with me

No more crying about you in parking lots No more renting space inside my thoughts You’re the former tenant of my mind No ones moved in yet, still up a vacancy sign Curious buyers, but no applicants Some mail of yours gets sent here by accident And with no forwarding address I build a collection Of Tormented memories of my recollection It’s a best hit curated selection With no seemingly thought out, direction Like how when you would laugh, it made you laugh harder It leaves me with feelings of great ardor This room is empty, 3D projections Of happy days and painful rejections
5.
I'm trying my best to handle this Without fully depending on cannabis Love doesn't last in Los Angeles But it didn't in Oakland It didn't either in San Francisco Maybe I just gotta focus Maybe I should keep on smokin' I wont rabbit hole i wont assume I wont fall apart while you bloom Truth is I don't know your truth And that ain't on me thats on you But thats not your job Thats just my loss That’s just another L for under my belt I think about what i’m not I think about what i want I Never think enough about what I’ve got I don't need to know your objective You don't have to use your perspective as leverage I’m already sexless and restless And you won, have fun Sometimes the narrative doesn't make sense Sometimes they're for real when it feels pretend Sometimes you gotta just live and let live

FEELY TOUCHY 01:23
When our insides freeze over And everything feels colder We heat up with your legs perched over my shoulders Blood drains from my brain, you pound on my chest I feel teeth ripping through my neck I crack my toes when my legs go numb I can't contain When you scream my name I feel it now I feel it when I'm feeling down I feel you now I feel it when you're going down I want to bite your nose And suck on your toes Lick your eyeballs I want you to crush my skull Wear your teeth like jewelry Drink from your belly button Hole in one Putt puttin'

FUCK THAT 01:12
I didn’t know what i know now then Gotta look back with compassion You wear your self care like it's fashion About to cash in Everything you consist of Even what you made up Lookin’ good love Alright, yeah, alright I like to sing when I drive Cook with my friends Movies when I’m high Hike on the weekends Music when it’s live Following trends Girl pass me by Making amends
