I got a new nickname it was
Pretty Fire and I felt my cheeks burning
when you said it
So I reached out to hold your hand and realized
All of you was burning

I should've realised you didn't call me warm, or bright
I was a pretty fire
forcing the world into an unfair fight

Not an offer they had the choice to refuse
The kind of fight they'd have to lose

Playing with fire never hurts the fire

Every day I burn too
trying to tell you that's not true
When you hurt
My skin turns blue

I have to fight though
everyone. i'm sorry that it includes you

people fight fires all the time and
i need to fight them too. they hate me
i'm trying to prove to you
they hate me
and i hate me too

but none of that was ever enough to scare them away
when there's stupid firefighters trying to put people out everyday

i'm blamed anyways
i'm blamed for when i have a fit
when you ignored it
FOR SO LONG

so don't call me fire because I know now what you you were trying to say
I am a fire and I hurt everyone in my way

I was a fire and to be me I had to damage
I was a fire and it was so much baggage
I was a fire and it hurt to look at me

so you gotta go where you think you'll be free
so good, go, and leave. let me be

Cause I know what I didn't mean to be

I didn't mean to be the retrograde
To make you
turn around and meet the friend I've made
I like to call her really late
I like to call her the Me I Hate

I like to call her
I used to like to call you
Call me sometime soon

honey i've got a rhyming boom box attitude
aptitude
gratitude
fill me up like  a garbage chute

running backwards like i'm kinda cute
getting honked at to tell me
to get out of the way

well Mr Driver that's not very nice
i'm not yet a big girl
so don't fight my fire
with your deadass ice

applause at pause
cop means stop

6) i am not stubborn
i am not stuck
i am not doomed
i am not cursed
i am not powerless in the face of others

5) i will not be bitter about the cards that i have been dealt
i will not assume
i will give
i will take
i will be

4) i can still live without the things that are important to me
i can still change
i can still dream
i can still accept others into my life

3) i am willing to make amends with those i have hurt
i am willing to move forward from damaging experiences
i am willing to try different solutions

2) i am constantly learning
i am constantly changing

1) no one is out to get me

i've got a body stuck in my body
help me, someone
please, somebody
please somebody, i'm calling somebody
I'm Calling Somebody, I'm Calling Somebody
don't you know I'm ruddy? sitting in the muddy
patches of grass, grass always loved me
Grass Always Loved Me
I got High before You Called Me
Grass Always Loved Me

if you were interested,
I'd say I was too.
looking outward
      finding  eyes that didn't shy away
back at me
the strongest feeling there ever was the
strongest challenge you ever were
eyes brown, earthy murky
        sometimes fiery, but icey too
I see, I see too
eyelids heavy  heavy feelings taking over the light
               and it was always something i wanted to know;
What the Day Owes the Night

we watched the sky as it grew
blue again blue is always gonna remind me of you
never another day in the grey. you promised to chase every storm away
       put your palms against mine, that's how we did it first
put your palms against mine. that's how we did it first
maybe two pieces together at one point but from hereon we were one piece
