there's a party going upstairs
and thus i locked myself
in the cool base
ment to

cry about
how much i miss
you and how much you
help me feel like a child again

Song of Dependence

i want to go to the hospital
i miss the pale sterility;
human care on command

i want to stop being illogical
i miss childlike passivity;
you just don't understand

my existence is infinitesmal
i'm a waste of human life
but i want you to stay with me
oh, please, at least for the night

help me forget about this would-be
i refuse to meet him in montauk
or anywhere, for that matter

the memory of him hurts me
nothing he said, did, or could ****
made me feel like i was better

my existence is infinitesmal
i'm a waste of human life
but i want you to stay with me
oh, please, at least for the night

forget about the women
that i say that i am really into
i could change my sexuality

you don't even have to listen
to me, that's too much to put you through
i lack the correct mentality

my existence is infinitesmal
i'm a waste of human life
but i want you to stay with me
oh, please, at least for the night

Figurative Cryspeak

punch me in the face/ tell me i’m pretty
shoot both my legs/ please just cuddle with me
slice off my hands/ would you hold both?
go burn my ears/ sing me to sleep

figurative cryspeak/ what words do you know?
are they the right ones/ or are they too weak?

stab me in the throat/ ask me how i feel
scratch my two arms/ it’s cool, that’ll probably heal
gouge my eyes out/ i will never see
lock the door shut/ what’s out there for me?

figurative cryspeak/ what words do you know?
they can be scary/ but they will save you

This is a song about my last relationship and stuff. Yeah, I plan on making it sound super angsty and loud and ****.
