under the paint
money flies from my palm as if it's endless / (I know better yes - don't tell my mother) / I eat as if I am endless

We should have avoided the cracks in the sidewalk / for the sake of our mothers backs / we should have cut ourselves off at 4 drinks

I will release myself from the ache of love
mercy throws open the windows / drops the key down the drain / scrubs the afterglow off until my skin is raw

Freeze
with you / it's like a game of freeze tag / every time you touch me

the whole cake
My roommate did a juice cleanse / He looked and felt so good So I did the same. / Chugged nothing but holy water for a week. Left the water in the beam of the newmoon. Tried to flush the bad out of me. I asked my tired liver to do more. Tried fire. Tried sage. Tried charcoal. Tried swallowing stones in hopes they’d grind up what I couldn’t get rid of. Tried pulling my teeth out So my bite marks couldn’t be traced back to me

whale
When I am stressed I imagine I am a whale / In the middle of the blue ocean / I am not big - I am the perfect size

sweet
Got stirred up to foam / trying so hard to dissolve / all the sweet

gotta rise
I kiss my palm / wave it goodbye / place my hand on my heart
