Good Thing

Shirts I wear to impress you
Shirts I tuck in to say I am one of you
Beautiful clothes I can’t fit in, is this supposed to be my truth
You told me this should be a good thing
Sleeves pulled up to feel your hands
I could hear your voice for hours do you understand
I can’t be one of you and I couldn’t have been your man
But you told me this should be a good thing
I want to
I want to believe you
I want to
So can you show me
So I don’t focus on what I’ll get used to
Not everything gets me so undone
I’m used to the news, come on, I’m not that dumb
It’s reassurance I have to run from
But you told me this should be a good thing
I’ll live through you, until I can’t anymore
I want to trust you but I’m torn
You have to hide your form what did I want this for
You told me this should be a good thing
How much should
I be afraid
Everyone else was but went on anyway
Can you show me
I’m behind on what I’m getting used to
Maybe sometime I won’t need to ask again
vulnerable, unknowable, some grizzled veteran
Fighting while on the edge of crying to lite fm
you told me this should be a good thing
I’m stronger now but I’m not as strong as you
A cold comfort that you’re not strong enough too
Nobody is, nobody’s been, nobody can be, but
You told me this should be a good thing
You told me this should be a good thing
You told me
You were sure
You told me

Breaking Point
03:58
|

The traffic stops around you now you can’t walk if you want to
Used to block out the sirens, but that’s not what haunts you
They’re giving you reasons to give up that’s all they’re into
And less not to give in
Hold to the breaking point, said you’d wait for it
You saw a way out you chased for it
Call on your strength to carry on and you wondered why you did
You said you wondered why you did
It feels naive now but you were hopeful back then
If you were my age now, I would have lost a friend
You know as well as anyone
They’ll find new ways to hurt us
Borrowed time and borrowed shame
They're too far gone and they won't change
To the breaking point, you swore you’d wait for it
You had to hope, didn't you, so you chased for it
Called on your strength to carry on you said you wondered why you did
You said you wondered why you did
No one can tell you to hang on or let go
No one can tell you whether you made the right call
No one can tell you to be safe
But something made you stay
Something made you stay
Eyes closed you’re aimless
But they fire when they see you open
We won’t live like they want
It’s a matter of choosing the poison
Eyes closed you’re aimless
But they fire when they see you open
We won’t live like they want
If we choose to live at all
You’ll never figure out if it was better to be better as the world got worse you didn’t think it would first
Selfishly I know that I want you here
I want you here as the world gets worse

Never Alone
I just feel them watching standing in the room with me
Send it to be redlined, just tell me what I'm doing wrong
This makes me feel so out of character
I can't be alone never been alone
Put me in the wild they expect me to be feral
I don’t trust those instincts, but I’m sick of being careful
high expectations, can't get what's underneath them
I'm never alone enough
You’re too old for mistakes
No room in the plans you made
They’ve run out of patience
They know your excuse
It gets so hard to think straight
Head atop a deepfake
They won't pick your baggage
As far as they could choose
Tonight was someone supposed to need you
Is it worth it even if they want to
It’s too much to ask to overcome
Love you in silence then find somewhere to run
Then I just feel them watching standing in the room
with me
Send it to be redlined, just tell me what I'm doing wrong
This makes me feel so out of character
I can’t be alone I can’t be alone
Put me in the wild expect me to be feral
Promise that I’ll find peace, fuck if I know where though
Set high expectations but can't get what's underneath them
I'm never alone enough
Daylight
feeling like a curse beneath my skin
Say it right, or i might just hang up again
Fucked up, you don’t want none
You’re my love, love, not my unloved
May I see your hand in mine and take a chance
.44 make him choke choke
He a broke boy, I won’t go fo it
You should cope boy, you need more poise
You make no noise, that’s a no no
PRESSURE
TRY TO TREAT ME THAT WAY FORFEIT EXPRESSION
TALK TO ME LIKE THEY VOICING MY DEPRESSION
WELL YOU’LL JUST CATCH ME POISING IN PROFESSION
OH SO PLEASANT
THE MESSAGE
I can feel them watching standing in the room with me
Send it to be redlined, just tell me what I'm doing wrong
This makes me feel so out of character
I can’t be alone I can’t be alone
Put me in the wild expect me to be feral
I don’t trust those instincts, but I’m sick of being careful
Set high expectations but can't get what's underneath them
I'm never alone enough

Fell From The Tree Rochester, New York
I fell from a tree.
I am in a fog and I catastrophize.
I am not ENOUGH, but that's ok.
