sour grapes 01:53
I wish I had beige walls I wish I had soil to plant my babies in company in a window sill had me wishing that it was last night still I'm always searching for something inside my room I'll never find it, it's just me and my winter mood! I throw away coffee cups I do it cause I'm still young company in a cafe booth had me wishing that I didn't think about you I'm always searching for something inside of you I'll never find it, there's nothing inside of you! you talk like a politician wish that you would quit and listen do you know anything about me? you would remember if I lost interest quickly I'll never see you, but I think it's for the best I only liked you when you were nicely dressed I'll never see you, but I think it's for the best I only liked us when we were both undressed

NYE 02:19
this new year's eve I'm sleepless I drink champagne, I drink wine on a deflating air mattress what brings me down brings you down too I find it hard to express melted thoughts of unknown size my intimacies in this dress does my butt look good to you? if it were I who fell for the fly, this time I won't shrink to his size when it grows does it stop? and when it stops does it shrink? I wash my makeup in the bathroom sink I ride the train home and I close my eyes if it were I who killed the fly, this time I will look in his eyes 2016 I've been dreaming all grown up, suppose I'll stop

felt like I was trying too hard waking up at 6am something so tragic like I can't feel my feet something so magic when I'm brushing my teeth something to fall asleep to felt like I was walking through a fog waking up at 6am, again! something so tragic like I missed the bus something so magic pick me up in your truck so you'll let me play that song again wear that stupid sweater again something to fall asleep to

idle hands 02:20
my idle hands want to take your hands and stick them straight down into my pants my idle hands call them the devil my idle hands each month I get older each month I get colder don't wanna go to bars in the evening gonna stay inside and eat all my feelings I've made mistakes inside this bed to me she told me to me tessa said, "you gotta blow a lot of toads before you meet you sweet frog prince" I should hate you all my friends do but I still want you! do you want me too? I apologize to all the others I apologize to my half-heated lovers I think I know what you saw inside of me a toad waiting so patiently baby wants what baby can't have! :'(

adderall 01:56
bad breath and broken headphones there's a static in my ear it's okay that you're not here i have friends and cheap beer dates are fine strangers never mind what i'm like online strangers never mind went for a walk the other day saw two dead squirrels, an orange cat they matched the leaves, the cigarettes blend into the trees my broken pets the pavement has lines i'll stay on my side look up at the sky the pavement has lines i stayed up all night long 24 milligrams of adderall i made flashcards way too many flashcards do u need any flashcards? I've got way too many flashcards days go by strangers stand in lines they don't seem to mind strangers stand in lines i'm sweating through my shirt my head it feels like dirt i think i passed the test when will i sleep next?

knees 01:59
i drink milk from a jug cause i don't wanna get a glass dirty i drink milk from a jug cause i am a child in maturity maybe i could understand you if you didn't stand so tall i don't know what kind of pain you're in you oughta take some tylenol and i don't wanna feel it but boy i'd like to see it i am far too fragile for falling in and out of... oh bless the man who praises me i am a girl who gets on her kness but what is the price for wanting to please? will i stay safe behind my wall i'm like a raw egg before the fall i am the man who praises me i am the man!

i throw my lighter it lands in a pile of dog shit i was angry so i grab it i throw it again my neighbors they watch me i hate them, they hate me i'm gonna climb in through their window and eat all their food what is a fence without the ivy? what is a lawn but creeping charlie? i walk my bike to the street there she is watering the plants on her porch i say good morning to her she says nothing back what did i do to deserve her icy adult wrath? what is a fence without the ivy? what is a lawn but creeping charlie?

dirt 03:03
i go to school i get my degree i should be happy what else can i blame you for that i haven't already? i buy a tv set i lay my head on your chest making love is like forgetting a song i have a hole beneath my skirt if i could i'd fill it with dirt am i standing in somebody's way? my presence is your ashtray do you have to listen like i've been taught to? do you have to love yourself like i've been taught not to? i'm gonna think something so important! i'm gonna be somebody so important!
