Parking Lots 03:40
parking lots water marks and my drunk face in the bathroom mirror makes makes me feel like a ghostly shape makes me feel like I'm twice my age mostly aged partly faded one fifth dead if I live to a hundred and if I live to a hundred then I will outlive all of my friends but I don't want that at all what's so bad about growing up if I'll stay young for as long as I want to you hate my voice it makes me feel like a little boy and you hate all the words I choose you push me like a pressure point public parks subway cars where I grew up I'd sleep over but we'd stay up now you just want me to shut up now you just want me to shut up but I'm not sad at all what's so bad about growing up if I'll stay young for as long as I want to

Algae Bloom 03:28
static state go away go away I want to feel a little conscious by the end of the day I tend to feel a little nauseous when you're slipping away some things we talked about it's hard to talk about you right now you look like algae bloom when you're down down down down we used to walk around now I walk without you around that's hard to talk about still water I want to shout like a thundercloud yell my lungs right out of my mouth you look like algae bloom when you're down down down down still water the woman on my voicemail machine doesn't have a lot to say because you don't have a lot to say to me today today feels a lot like yesterday static state go away go away I'd like to feel a little conscious by the end of the day

did she love him more than he could ever love half of the half of half is not enough he don't look sad like she does now he don't look sad like she does now don't let it happen to me cause I hope my sister grows up and thinks that the world is beautiful like your sisters grew up like the way that you make me feel I love when you drum to the rhythms in your head so we can think of the same thing neither of us said on beat like McCartney and Starr could be but you wouldn't want to die like John Lennon did and I wouldn't want to die like George Harrison just come back here again I hope my sister grows up and thinks that the world is beautiful I hope that we can grow up and move back to San Francisco

Lack 03:11
I want to swim way out where the sand slopes down where all I have to think about are my muscles and my arms and legs and the blood and oxygen in them I don't want to be a boy and you don't want to be a girl I hate the way your friends make me feel I was not myself but it was love I felt when you tied my hands back with my belt it's the lack that I still love the space between the punch and the pain that comes but it's not in my heart
5.
Heart Sinks 01:33
heart sinks, heart sinks because your mouth says bad things like this is weird grow fast or not at all and sit on a waterfall and caterwaul let the water crawl around your back and down your heels heart sinks, heart sinks because your mouth says bad things like this is weird this is weird
6.
Ohio snow falls I watched it from your blanket small wrapped up two coffee cups went cold I shrieked like a cat when you turned the faucet on but it made me laugh and we stood wet and happy about it but who's going to kiss your undressed chest when I'm gone? I'm living horribly so I don't want to know how you're doing my days are moving quickly because they're smaller fractions of myself but I can't tell until it's been a long time and I still won't go out but who's going to kiss your undressed chest when I'm gone? on some night when you won't pick up the phone I'm living horribly so I don't want to know how you're doing I'm living horribly if you want to know how I'm doing
7.
Sleep In 02:52
home I call it linoleum floors a rotting wood porch and kids singing to 80s pop songs I sleep in my clothes and dream pretty terrible things I wish I could dream of you but it gets harder each night I barter your light for lust sleep for most of the day if I can I'd rather not go and dance because you're always too close you step on my toes I can't think of a way to say no or think of thinking of those ways why would I want to get up I'd probably fuck up some more home never seemed so sad kids never seemed so sad my dreams never seemed so sad you never seemed so sad sleep never felt so good your dance never seemed so sad I can't but I wish I could some days I am so fucked up
8.
I am Not 04:01
pack a forty for the east river to that spot where the cops can't fit their cars all the punks are acting up again metal studs to the chain-linked fence saying I am not what I want to be pack a toothbrush and a change of clothes you're getting out, that's all I know you remember saying that to me LCD lights up the screen saying you are not what I want you to be pack a forty for the long way back to the station that I'll never come back to for the island that I used to love for the ones that you're thinking of I am not what I want to be
9.
it feels like we are in still water it feels like we are on two different sides of pine tree lines I don't want to hear your sound bytes I just want to hear what you sound like I am the girl my parents made why don't you love me anyway because I love the way you take up space there is no one way the world should be because we all get bored of all out favorite things and I don't mind that you are not like me because I don't feel like I'm a lot like me
10.
I'm Real 03:56
I'm real and you're real but we don't see each other anymore I know that I feel like giving up on everything what's the point of being here I'm fine and you're fine but that's all we say anymore I know that I'm dying what's the point of being here it's a stupid part of me and it won't stop alone is a prison alone is a prison alone is a prison alone is a prison alone is a prison alone is a prison alone is a prison alone is a prison alone is a prison alone is a prison alone is a prison alone is a prison alone is a prison alone is a prison alone is a prison

"Songs about relationships and sensory memory and a little bit of gender stuff done right aka the best album you haven’t heard all year." -Buildwalls.tumblr.com
