4 o’clock in the afternoons no place to be
the sun mocks me in the sky, all I ask to do is sleep
but no one can hear me
its too loud on this backstreet
the telephone wires drown me out, my ears are bleeding
and all that I, is all that I, is all that I am
is locked in a drawer at home, god damn
lost the key, can’t ever leave, I am
going home to my bedroom to pass the time alone
inundation, informations holding me down
simulation, I’m on the run from Keanu now
but who cares if its not real
because I can still feel
and I hurt like a child with an unreconciled
need to carve out a smile on a face I revile
and all that I, is all that I, is all that I am
is locked in a drawer at home, god damn
lost the key, can’t ever leave, I am
going home to my bedroom to pass the time alone
alone x2
and all that I, is all that I, is all that I am
is locked in a drawer at home, god damn
lost the key, can’t ever leave, I am
going home to my bedroom to pass the time alone
alone x4

Josslyn you’re really in for it now
cause your blood has lit your head aflame, no wonder how
those that have come before you burn bright with a hope and a truth too
Josslyn you’re really in for it now
baby, don’t you see this is what you’re gonna be
look at me, your ma, and Mary
there’s no such thing as destiny, you choose what you wanna be
but this ain’t a bad start, believe me
the kind of kid the world doesn’t know what to do with
but look here in the mirror and just so that I am clear
Josslyn you’re really in for it now
cause your blood has lit your head aflame, no wonder how
Josslyn x4
don’t fret, don’t be scared but at least be self-aware
only take what you can carry
be better than us, loving, kind, and ferocious
take all that is necessary
the kind of girl that makes the stomachs of weaker men curl
best believe your legacy is that of women in the ring
Josslyn x4
(people are never as good or as bad as
you can imagine so just take a step back
love where you can but don’t ever forget that
kindness is all you can give in the grand scheme
but don’t you negate the power of angry
you are a force to be reckoned with, baby) x2
Josslyn you’re really in for it now
cause your blood has lit your head aflame, no wonder how
those that have come before you burn bright with a hope and a truth too
Josslyn you’re really in for it now
Josslyn you’re in

Nature vs. Nurture

nature versus nurture
how can I know what’s true, what’s me, what’s you
mother, maybe father
which words are mine, are you, am I
they crumbled right in front of me
I wasn't ready to see all of their humanity
I was too young to play all of their grown-up games
played a pawn anyways
weren’t you the ones who said
I had to get over it
I did my best, check my progress
I am an adult now
black and white can’t hurt me how
it did back then so back down
weren’t you both the ones who said
I had to get over it
nature versus nurture how can I know what is real, what’s true
mother, father
you are flawed and you can falter
I forgive you
now I have perspective and can see you
I don’t have to hide from myself
from the parts that resemble you
mother and father
just follow suit, forgive each other
they crumbled right in front of me
I wasn't ready to see all of their humanity
I was too young to play all of their grown-up games
played a pawn anyways
weren’t you the ones who said
I had to get over it
I did my best, check my progress
I am an adult now
black and white can’t hurt me how
it did back then so
back down x3
(years spent waiting
just surviving
til I could reach
autonomy) x2
alone, eighteen
angry, twenty
forgiving, I’m twenty-three
they crumbled right in front of me
I wasn't ready to see all of their humanity
I was too young to play all of their grown-up games
played a pawn anyways
weren’t you the ones who said
I had to get over it
I did my best, check my progress
I am an adult now
black and white can’t hurt me how
it did back then so back down
I had to grow up too fast
you know those effects, they last
but I put it in the past
I had to grow up too fast
and if I could do that
you can do this, its all I ask

October Windfall
03:16
|
|||
couldn’t keep the flowers alive so I had no choice but to find
the beauty in their demise, cracking off leaves after they’d dried
couldn’t keep the flowers alive and well you know how hard I try
to laugh at absurdity and death is the most absurd thing, well
with melancholy and a little grief
we might find peace
nothing is rose-colored in the fall and
it had become my new favorite season
cause we don’t have to hide
Between pretty lies
nothing is rose, nothing is rose-colored in the fall
its time to make a call in this October windfall
wearing black on a daily basis, mourning becomes homeostasis
if we focus on what we’ve lost every second looks like a cost
so go dig up your brightest sweater, laugh loudly and dress for the weather
just because the Summer is done doesn’t mean we can;t embrace the sun
for what its done
with melancholy and a little grief
we might find peace
nothing is rose-colored in the fall and
it had become my new favorite season
cause we don’t have to hide
Between pretty lies
nothing is rose, nothing is rose-colored in the fall
its time to make a call in this October windfall
to have loved and lost
how lucky for us
its been cried a million times, still
how lucky for us
nothing is rose-colored in the fall and
it had become my new favorite season
cause we don’t have to hide
Between pretty lies
nothing is rose, nothing is rose-colored in the fall
its time to make a call in this October windfall
(I am lucky to have lost you, I am lucky, I am lucky, I am
I am lucky to have loved you, I am lucky, I am lucky, I am)
people become the pictures we keep, we only recall that which we can still see
in our periphery, neither fiction nor actuality
always stuck somewhere just in between
(I am lucky, I am lucky, I am)

Sightseer
03:30

consciousness is a phase, a fleeting turn sideways
I think therefore I am even though I don’t understand
if I am where I am supposed to be can
I free myself from this quandary thats endless
I just wanna rest
(sure
I’ll leave my ego right at the door
waiting for me on the ground floor but
don’t know if I am me anymore) x2
do you think its ok if I don’t know who I am today
is it quite alright if I’m just a little off tonight
even though none of this means anything in the end
I’m grateful to be here so call the sightseer
the sightseer
(sure
I’ll leave my ego right at the door
waiting for me on the ground floor but
don’t know if I am me anymore) x2
every time I look in the mirror
its that one little word, that great big fear
is it dissociate or disassociate
could somebody get back to me on that, please
(sure
I’ll leave my ego right at the door
waiting for me on the ground floor but
don’t know if I am me anymore) x2

Pacific
03:16

I hate gambling
but I was handed a full house
the swords on the cards sliced open my palms and all I could do was
bleed on the money I’d won
and everyone was confused
didn’t know why I was blue
couldn’t show them my wounds
had to bluff after the game
knowing it wasn’t the same
I put a smile on my face
cause I looked like I owned the ocean
after twenty years of staring at the sea and
all I could think about was the sand at the bottom
and how I wished that it would bury me
and how the speed of light is far too fast to
barrel into a tidal wave, last night I cried enough
to make the Pacific blush now hear me say
I hate gambling
but I was handed a full house
lost an ace in the deck
don’t know how I’ll get around this
and everyone was confused
didn’t know why I was blue
couldn’t show them my wounds
had to bluff after the game
knowing it wasn’t the same
I put a smile on my face
cause I looked like I owned the ocean
after twenty years of staring at the sea and
all I could think about was the sand at the bottom
and how I wished that it would bury me
and how the speed of light is far too fast to
barrel into a tidal wave, last night I cried enough
to make the Pacific blush now hear me say
I’m sorry x8
