Make Me Young

make me young
make me young
give me reason to sing this song
let some poor soul hum along
learn from where, I went wrong
I've got growths all across my body
I've got blood vessels in this frame
And I know, yeah I know
these thoughts shouldn't drive me insane
but they do- oh, it does
and I'm thinking it's because
all those things I thought I was
got muddled with what I've become
Do I come across too pessimistically?
I know "myself" is a beautiful thing to be
Life looks down with sincerity and yells
"mostly great, but sometimes pain"
that's fine !(?)

Red Hot

u red hot iron handle
melting into my clenched fist
I said "I think that's about as much as I can handle"
"But, this is the best for us both!" you hissed
"And I've been told that when u go, you'll be missed"
I've been running on spite for the past six years or so
and you know how that goes!
Like yeah, it works, but I'm bitter and I'm getting worse
But I can cry now that's a first
But nobody told me... eh... (eh..)
u red hot iron handle
melting into my clenched fist
I said "I think that's about as much as I can handle"
"But, this is the best for us both!" you hissed
And I know damn well that when u go, you'll be missed

I wanna have my cake and to eat it too
and wake up every morning next to u
I wanna have ur hands on my chest again
I wanna feel like I'm at my best again
So I'm tryna get my hands on some estrogen
I wanna have my cake and to eat it too
like when it starts to rain but the sky stays blue
I wish that we could make out on the front yard
I'll handle the embarrassment it's not that hard
I've been taking baths of lavender, hyacinth, and honeysuckle
in hopes that their qualities will diffuse
and I can be sweeter to u
can I be a flower, pressed into the chapters of ur life?
I'm just worried
You'll handle me improperly

White Noise
00:35
|

|
razor blades in my throat, spit them out and I start to choke
sometimes I see humanity in your eyes
but most times it's just violence, it's white noise or police sirens,
doo doo doo doo doo doo do do

Tired, Always

old man asks me why the kids are tired
when he didn't sleep til he was 30
"I don't know what to tell you, man
it's not like I don't get enough sleep
but when I'm awake, all I do is worry
responsibilities weigh down on me
like an anvil on my chest
I just need to lay down, close my eyes, and get some rest.
I wanna visit family
communicate naturally
I keep saying I'll do these things
when I have the energy
I'm just so tired, always
I'm just so tired, always
I'm just so tired, alwaaaays
Some days I wake up, aching to be someone else
not that there's much wrong with being myself
at the risk of sounding ingrateful,
I just fear my wants are insatiable
I'm just so tired, always
I'm just so tired, always
I'm just so tired, alwaaays
I'm just counting down the days
til this life don't feel quite the same
and I'm not so used to disappointment
that when a good thing comes my way
I don't expect for it to change
just blow up in my face
or sit around and wait
wait for it to decay
I got so used to disappointment
that when a good thing comes my way
I don't expect
for it
to stay
at all"
