streets after avenues after streets
streets after avenues after streets
will things appear as soon as they seem?
will that mean to you what it means to me?
streets after avenues after streets
streets after avenues after streets
will things appear as soon as they seem?
passing scenes fly by like signs on highways
pretty little liars get in line here behind greys
30 yard line gaze right into my eyes, babe
you say "i understand the struggle cuz my homies think that i'm gay"
okay, but have you seen the shadows by the river?
the beasts behind the stars that make the state line glimmer?
did you ever notice the gas station's always on fire?
and the further you walk away the air seems lighter?
inspired, the people there's glassy eyes desire
requirements higher than the aforementioned liars
who wire me cents over dollars hand over fist on bandcamp
and then pretend they understand that
numbers are a sand trap, but i'll catch you in the act then land that
combat interpersonal, the bevy of blows hurts and all
but you pay attention to the other end of the call
when my phone rings the dial tone hiccups
this ain't a visit it's a stickup

all i'm saying is that i understand the tactics used
but the war being fought would be welcome news
i understand the methods of attack
but the reasons behind them never come back
what happens when we die, where do we go?
exactly where and what you want, as far as you know
and it goes like that, and it just goes to show
it doesn't take john does to come to low blows
the more it happens the harder it is to keep myself in check
i don't have a paranoid disorder i'm just fucking correct
but if my fears were justified i don't know what i'd've said
if everyone's pretending to like me, what does that affect?
bet, but i know what you're doing, fucker
you don't know what i am, or do, or am pursuing, fucker
i'll let you keep getting lucky with your guesses if you want
but i'll match lies with lies, i'll match taunts with taunts
i know the font not the words, cursive's what i heard
this isn't a game it's simply absurd
from what i've observed i can see what's referred to
and if you break kayfabe i'll be forced to hurt you

Indecisive

if i could just sit in this room
talking to you
for the rest of all time, that's cool
nothing to prove
certainly this is nothing new
untold truth
but i'm tired of sitting on life's roof
teetering, aloof
thinkin bout the sun
thinkin bout the time it'd take to get there, would be fun
my wax wings were made to self destruct
and i'm denying myself that outcome
but hold me down on the ground and count to three
and maybe it'll get shaken out of me
with an unshakeable unproveable certainty
look at my disease
i don't think i really want to
be a person
and i do not think that it is
that important
i don't want to participate
in the world
so could i just be left alone
my own girl
aren't you tired of being so
indecisive?
do you think that i don't know how
indecisive
i can be sometimes? sorry i'm
indecisive
should i live or die? i like life
indecisive
looking at the bottom
there's rocks, okay, got it
but tunnel past the flotsom
there's gotta be something else down there
making my way back would be impossible at this point
clutching my last wish coin
i simply can't uncut my hair
decisions aren't permanent, but their consequences are more than temporary
isn't just that thought scary?
fucking it up irreparably?
but i'm sinking
while thinking
light blinking
mouth leaking
it's all in my head probably
i don't think i really want to
be a person
and i do not think that it is
that important
i don't want to participate
in the world
so could i just be left alone
my own girl
aren't you tired of being so
indecisive?
do you think that i don't know how
indecisive
i can be sometimes? sorry i'm
indecisive
should i live or die? i like life
indecisive

Black Hole
02:43
|

given a long enough timeline
everything known to me seems fine
then listen to the ones who spoke
their voices have a purpose no one's blowing smoke
i don't much care for honesty
it gets people in trouble, just show them what they want to see
if you were to push some meaning out of my skull
i promise you it wouldn't matter, you'd just find a hole
fill my vacant space with whatever you see fit
matter cannot be destroyed so who gives a shit
i'm a black hole in my free time
and i'm not an actress i just read lines
fill my vacant space with whatever you see fit
matter cannot be destroyed so who gives a shit
i'm a black hole in my free time
and i'm not an actress i just read lines
truth is deep down i'm a person
i've got thoughts and feelings no worse than
the ones that you say and think on the daily
but i'm better at hiding it, that's mainly
the difference between me and the rest of the world
you want me to be the image of an average girl
but i'm as complicated as they come
but i'll pretend i'm not so you can play dumb
fill my vacant space with whatever you see fit
matter cannot be destroyed so who gives a shit
i'm a black hole in my free time
and i'm not an actress i just read lines
fill my vacant space with whatever you see fit
matter cannot be destroyed so who gives a shit
i'm a black hole in my free time
and i'm not an actress i just read lines
fill my vacant space with whatever you see fit
matter cannot be destroyed so who gives a shit
i'm a black hole in my free time
and i'm not an actress i just read lines
fill my vacant space with whatever you see fit
matter cannot be destroyed so who gives a shit
i'm a black hole in my free time
and i'm not an actress i just read lines

fuck with this
you are not above this
baby, i know you love this
skidmarks to the wrist, fuck it up
i need to close facebook so i can get my work done
you fear my enemies, you already were one
you cast a long shadow, i'm barely a person
more akin to sleep paralysis, or anything worse than
driving on the wrong side of the road on the way to witchita
treating other cars like spyro treated the riptocs' rickshaws
in the eyes of the law i can pop my jaw
while sucking off ricky gervais raw
hope your bitch leaves you like graham lineham
i was on mumsnet tryna start a gift card scam
for seven walmart fifty dollar ones I'll track down your mans
to the tranny that he's been slamming to keep himself crammed
I've heard better excuses out of worse people
this prison's a church, and my cock is the steeple
my flesh is the walls, and my bones are the bars
these pills are the raft that won't get runners far
god damn, that's some superficial reasoning
at the end of it all what's life without seasoning?
the spice has gone from mine and that's fine
but don't be surprised if i run out of thyme
be gay do crime but you never leave your house
not much illegal shit you can do from your couch
i've got to get out i hate this shit kill me
I'm in a Denny's bathroom topping Brian Kilmeade
instill my message in your kids like it's gospel
my apostles are beggin for the Trin Pentecostal
my shit is violent, wilin', hostile
your shit's docile on hospice or a fossil
got insurance sure to justify the rust that i lusted after with my eyes
dilapitated buildings look lovely in the moonlight
rusty shacks and broken homes look lovely if you can look right
the graffiti spells a message that both of me can rewrite
reruns done with care to edit out the jokes from the first run
lost episodes where my characters swear and blow nuns
have fun, poke a hole in the bottom and them slam it
they should've let steven universe have just one "god damnit"
the guy deserves it, i know what it's like to have a deadbeat mom
and the circuitry of my existential anxiety to be a ticking time bomb
ticking away the seconds until the love you held goes long
and you throw it a bone hoping no one asks what's wrong

i'm thinking about some shit out loud
steam vent to let some pressure out
maybe i should learn to be proud
but good lord i am the queen of doubt
i'll be around i'll stay in touch i'll
something something not my style
i'm gonna dip in a second
cuz i can tell the present
meet my eyes
give three seconds then
normalize normal eyes
pack of L&Ms shoved up in my crevices
lesson is: don't trust those who are depressionless
too busy writing clever sounding nonsense to make a point
grab that shit like yoink
never hit the doink
seemingly tomorrow brings the morning
this is your only warning
dishearteningly upsettingly horny
get out of my fucking bed and into my fucking head
if you could see what i see you'd end up fucking dead
god might forgive you but i won't
i might judge you cuz god don't
if you're expecting omnipresent sentience
you're gonna end up getting your ass kicked
last trick, what's up the sleeve? it's your date of death
birth certificate reads "what's left?" i bet
don't fret motherfucker i got suppositories for that pretty little brain in your head
stained sickly red and given tread for snow piles stained grey
by matter from the outside indoors don't stay
you don't say? i'll make sure you don't pay
so don't play, get in the door then pave ways
god loves cowards they're smart enough to see the forest for the trees
hours aren't enough to give your chores away for free
towers seeping deep into the floor it seems to be
make sure you stay off key when you sing for me
give time to seeping dark thoughts living life hard knocked and half cocked
it's easier than not
give me rot before vengeance, not forlorn kid's shit
i do not get it listen bitch forget it

Ugh

all the money in the world couldn't save you from these two fists
how hard would it be to convince you that you need this?
i look up at the sky wonder why folks get real pissed
when i merely exist, doesn't take much to make that list
am i thinkin' about it too much? or am i not thinking about it enough?
words, thoughts, memories, friends and enemies, what you pretend to be, it's all just stuff
fuck it
what would that teach you about love?
is love consequential, essential, or rough?
wrong way down a one way street
has never been enough to detain me
what love does the diety you hold it for hold for you?
and what else might the universe have to put you through?
i don't hold shit against higher powers, they're just doing their job
but you treat it like it's romantic sometimes when you get robbed
the gun lobby doesn't represent the armed public
pack a pistol when I run dick on the NRA's tongue, lick
but the donor money spends the same no matter
whose boner honey spurts on face, splatter
leave the room with lots of chaste chatter
everyone's mad now, at most we'll get a based hatter
teatime hits different when the allegories turn to metaphors
about government overreach and calling single women whores
but how many basement dwellers even seem to listen to The Doors?
i'll Iggy Pop a nut off in the ass of Jim Morrison
shit I was thinking about Morrisey
fuck that fat fascist faggot, surprised if there's more to see
see i'm queer and overweight myself, that just happened naturally
but there's nothing natural about the sweat and cum my mattress leaks
vile shit, i love being fucking depraved
i fucked an emo femboy in a graveyard on a holiday
same bitch i fucked in an alley by a chinese place
then ordered takeout with smeared makeup and a straight face
blood on the fist after it leaves you, wipe it off-a
if the dread doesn't hit you like a mack truck, rifle oughtta
did you read ahead again? are you all caught up?
there'll be a pop quiz in 30, make sure you have everything you brought up

Dead As A Doornail

keep your stick on the ice
keep your stick on the ice
keep your stick on the ice
dead as a fucking
i've got a problem, problem is my problems, i don't wanna solve em
heads or tails or di from wales or lies for sales, don't wanna call em
lav mics tangled in my nerves, and when failed by silence,
cuz the microphones were always in my blood, we must resort to violence
dead as a doornail, quiet as a mouse
call your life the Collyer's, make this home into a house
psych ward be like "so true bestie"
that's all you got? boy, how depressing
bitch on her knees like "heavens to betsy!"
you think you're fucking gretsky?
it's a turn of phrase, a fucking saying, an idiom at best
give this shit a rest, get it off your chest
upper middle class trans mascs would move land mass for some ukelele
but my fingers way too busy to play, dizzy, wouldn't you say?
dead as a doornail, that dog don't fuckin' hunt
teapot asks the kettle "can you call a cunt a cunt?"
way too fucking cowardly to give you what you want
i'm not changing what i'm saying i'm just altering the font
keep your stick on the ice
keep your stick on the ice
keep your stick on the ice
dead as a fucking
lifting unkind
versions of your
self in to your
ideal state
just to tear them
down so unsure
seems so stupid
slightly sanguine
no height weight length
carve your namesake
into the bark
you don't know your own strength
good faith crisis bullshit actors
last a longer time than ever-afters
be they happily disasters
or friends of Zoroaster
once upon a time i was paid not to stay
dismissively labeled another gay
story for another day
i'm talkin' bout cement, baby, that's conk creet
i don't even know how to play sports still cis bitches can't compete
whole wheat smol beans get their heads bashed against the street
are my blood and guts fucking valid? you wouldn't last a week
jump the fuck out your skin for once for free
he ended up sad about the future past and present, Mr. Me
Dr. Worm robbed my gas station and Lincoln never called
I got Ray Blanchard here sucking on my balls
hail, and well met, friend
have you brought my end?
my means can't pretend
to be anything but trends
dead as a doornail, hotter than hell
you must enjoy the visions you get inside that cell
dead as a fucking
keep your stick on the ice
keep your stick on the ice
dead as a fucking
lifting unkind
versions of your
self in to your
ideal state
just to tear them
down so unsure
seems so stupid
slightly sanguine
no height weight length
carve your namesake
into the bark
you don't know your own strength
lifting unkind
versions of your
self in to your
ideal state
just to tear them
down so unsure
seems so stupid
slightly sanguine

carve your namesake

you don't know your own strength

Niche Of A Niche
01:44

i'm pro choice cuz i wish my mom had aborted me
and if that's too much to ask i wish she would've supported me
nothing's getting past, the universe is just bored of me
they say i need to take a rest but i'm just too fucking ornery
i don't give a fuck about your fat cock
tryna find who the fuck asked call me matlock
let's stop and talk shop about rap rock
rather that than follow back you pet rocks
i drew a dick on your girl's face with her consent, that's how she is
she's about it bitch, i'm not a fuckin pimp i'm polyamourous
i'm pauly shore when i'm on camera, bitch
if you can stand this bit then you'll understand my lack of tits
skinny white queers getting cut the fuck up, done
ain't never been to space, don't give a fuck about houston
if we got a problem, got two fists, i'll only use one
then post pictures of you full clothed and watch your simps un-cum
thoughts might enter your head but then stop
why stop now when already on top?
like you know shit but the bottom, hell
take cock better than you take the l
cuz ass might sell tracks
but i got less patience than hair on my back
which ain't saying much, sour
got body hair like austin powers
it's not about passing
fuck that shit it's about amassing
followers or clicks or plays
and being an icon to the gays
but twinks don't fucking like me
theater kids too scared to fight me
but i can't afford to tell you to bite me
cuz i need to fill a niche of a niche of a niche of a niche
a venetian snares type beat might suit me
if the atmosphere weren't so gloomy
and if i were better at what i do
but whatever it is it's probably true
i'm the transgender Rick Astley
never gonna give it up, you can't get shit past me
took a bitch to taco bell then she baja blasted me
and she never called me back cuz she outlasted me

why can't you be uniquely yourself
just like everybody else
you seem to think you know what's best
so why don't you tell us all the rest
it's surely not that hard to achieve
you look so beautiful while you wander aimlessly
is it possible you're suffering inside
don't pretend you're not, start asking why
you think you're so much better off than me
as often as i hate myself i'm pretty often fairly happy
and how'd that happen? well, that remains to be seen
but my life rules sometimes and that's what makes me free
so don't start blaming yourself, my dear
i've got my ups and downs, i've got my constant fear
on the other hand, i've got all my best friends right here
i've got my heart on my sleeve, you're posturing your cheer
i've accomplished a lot in my day
my life could've gone wrong in many different ways
but i wake up every morning in pain
and i thank the pain, it reminds me that i still have a brain
i can still feel something, that hole in my heart's not here forever
it's been filled before, it'll fill again, life has made me clever
i've taken every single hardship in stride
and i wear my battle scars with pride
you think you're so much better off than me
but as often as i hate myself i'm pretty often fairly happy
and how'd that happen? well, that remains to be seen
but my life rules sometimes and that's what makes me free
so don't start blaming yourself, my dear
i've got my ups and downs, i've got my constant fear
on the other hand, i've got all my best friends right here
i've got my heart on my sleeve, you're posturing your cheer

It's You
01:36
|

thinking about all you might have
if you didn't fall in love with sociopaths
we've never believed in coincidences
you might be the problem but that's not my business
is it possible the only people that can love you
can't love you, they just use you to feel they're above you
or maybe life on the outside's not what you thought it was
and nobody but you feels anything, that's because
you think about it so often
that you don't even know how long it's been
since anyone laid their hands on you
put their claws in your heart and then trampled you
truth is, everyone's sick in the head a bit
that doesn't make anyone full of shit
you better not think this is your fault
but if you want time alone, i guess that's your call
what's a white lie when the truth gets admitted
immediately after it's omitted?
i hid behind years of gaslit doubt
i kinda assumed you'd've clawed back out
but i know better than that after a few years
listen to yourself thru your own broken ears
fear the future more than you fear health
you're scared of becoming yourself
how do i know who you are?
operative word would be "we" and i'm not so far
from where you are now and it's written in hindsight
i'm not a demon trying to blindside
just trying to warn you you'll become nothing
if you keep on thinking that love is all bluffing
you can find truth, reliability, heart
and within yourself is a good place to start
(oh girl it's you)
it's you that's done this
it's me that has to fix it
but us would be endless
we have to work against it
appended to that is this clause:
you don't have to undo problems you didn't cause
(it's you)
that we have to combat
when too scared to react
to those walking red flags
we share this body but not this brain
repetition, some say, will drive you insane

God In North Dakota
03:07

given the circumstances it's fair to say that i
definitely spent forever wasting my time
and i wouldn't have spent those years doing anything else
and i wouldn't do anything with my heart but feel how i felt
i might be the answer to my own problems
i'd like that quite a bit
listen to the walls and ceilings hard to differentiate
i think that i might quit
i have finally found god in north dakota
the unfortunate news is it's me, oh lord
whether you can give a parsec or just an iota
i can see the frame but not the door
i have finally found god in north dakota
the unfortunate news is it's me, oh lord
whether you can give a parsec or an iota
i can see the frame but not the door
i got rules better left to an observer who deserves them
someone tries to love me i might fucking hurt them
and that's not your fault if it happens
i'm just saying i warned you, i'm strapped in
i'm not any more okay than you
the difference between us is i have nothing to prove
i'm damaged but i'm not expired for the most part
i'm broken but glue and duct tape have mended my heart
i have finally found god in north dakota
the unfortunate news is it's me, oh lord
whether you give a parsec or just an iota
i can see the frame but not the door
i have finally found god in north dakota
the unfortunate news is it's me, oh lord
whether you give a parsec or just an iota
i can see the frame but not the door
i have finally found god in north dakota
it's me, oh lord
it's me, oh lord
found god, it's me
