Night drive no headlights Crossed fingers crossed eyes and tongue tied Unbuckle floating up to the ceiling Bright light like a beam we live in Riding rough through the dirt and dandelions Crumple up the map it's all just dots and lines We'll know when we get there We will feel the magic in the air Hold your sister's hand she looks so scared I will have no crying no sniffling from the back seat Mamma's gonna take you everywhere Hold each other and tell me that you love me Each town with a motto Glad you've arrived so sad when you go Playing out who we'll end up this time Practice answering to names that aren't mine Mamma colors her hair in the bathroom Angry men come and say they'll knock the door in We dive out the window Mamma's shaking when she looks most beautiful Hold your sister's hand she looks so scared I will have no crying no sniffling from the back seat Mamma's gonna take you everywhere Hold each other and tell me that you love me Remember remember I took good care of you Now that you could fly away But baby bird I could guard your every move I just know today's the day RUN

Black strap molasses is my secrets Sticking to my lungs Slaps me back for whatever I've done wrong Breaks my little heart up breaks my little heart Sad news delivered by my psychic She's right all day long What she sees in the crystal Takes my cash over fist I'll never see a therapist again Why's it gotta pour when it rains Oh why's it gotta rain all the time Why does my mind loop me back Loop me back to the worst stuff every night Every ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah Black belt karate is my conscience Dodging like the Matrix But getting spattered and spit on while I duck Going down with the ship like I promised I am the maid that doesn't get paid That doesn't get thanks that doesn't get away I'm the unsung hero and my hair is falling out My hair is falling out My voice is gone from shouting Ah ah ah Why's it gotta pour when it rains Oh why's it gotta rain all the time Why does my mind loop me back Loop me back to the worst stuff every night Every ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

Cuttin off my hair in the mirror while I I don't want to f f feed the fear But the fire's already start ed Sucking down the good me Grab my pliers I'm mine first Ooh ooh I show you I take the things you like and burn em Ooh ooh I show you I show you I'm not yours Ooh ooh I show you I take the things you like and cut them out of me I show you I show you I'm not yours Sketching your face from memory Like it's been branded on my brain with a red hot iron All my every boo boo every hiccup you kept tabs Now you want it back Ooh ooh I show you I take the things you like and burn em Ooh ooh I show you I show you I'm not yours Ooh ooh I show you I take the things you like and cut them out of me I show you I show you I'm not yours Put my hands together at my heart and smiling Nodding till my head breaks off oh darling I'll be waiting staring at my phone forever I'll be waiting till you get home

Having flashbacks that smell like teargas Having flashbacks of the future too Don't feel so good don't feel so good Counting my blessings and I'm fairly disappointed I'd count my angels but they're not in the mood Don't look so good don't look so good But I can't look away Watching your face go through the windshield Watching the flames kissing the wheel We turn upside down and don't even notice A horrible sound Having worries that you're not gonna make it Having hopes but they're far more crude What can I do what can I do I look around and you're all hurting somewhere Makes it harder 'cause I'm hurting too What can I do what can I do But step into the fire Watching your face go through the windshield Watching the flames kissing the wheel We turn upside down and don't even notice A horrible sound Ooh Samuel ah oh Ooh Samuel ah oh Ooh Samuel ah oh Ooh Samuel ah oh ah oh ah oh ah oh ah oh

I'm gonna stop guessing how you're feeling But I know you'll never come to me We will smash our faces at an impass Practically we plan to misunderstand each other We plan to knock out our te e eth I'm gonna stop trying 'cause you're ruthless But I know that I was nasty too Seems like we're both running out of fingers Basically we're pardoned for all of our wrong doing we're good As long as no ones looking You give me reason to believe You give me reason to believe I'm nothing special Underwater I don't want to surface Finding I feel naked in my skin Catch your eye and we might think the same thought All the time we're silent holding the wrong idea We're free if only we could see You give me reason to believe You give me reason to believe I'm nothing nothing nothing nothing

I'm out of my range I'm out of my waistband I'm holding my brain and salting with the other hand Like a slug in the sand inside out with swiss cheese licorice and pickles I'm scared to be sane I flail in the quicksand Direct all my blame at loved ones and colleagues who cares I'm a little off sometimes I'm a shitshow constantly Hold my phone as I scour this brain alone I'll come back with answers The gems were in me already Scared to be heard I'm scared to get noticed Although I've been groomed since the womb I'm shaking in my boots I don't wanna get booed A woman is polite and pleasant and broken I'm out of my way I'm lucky or brain dead Oh what can I say when everything's going to plan When's it gonna get bad holding my breath so the mold spores don't get in Hold my phone as I scour this brain alone I'll come back with answers The gems were in me already Hold my phone as I scour this brain alone I'll come back with all of it sorted You don't have to worry anymore anymore

Sink your teeth in Stepped on oxygen Hold me over hold me over till the morning Will recover will recover Sink your teeth in Maybe meet in person take in my oxygen Bend me over bend me over till the morning Sloppy sweaty bodies slink to pieces Take me to cities Age with your stories Pull me over pull me over drink the moment Sink and swim and fall I'd like to sink my teeth in Unhinge our future Rip up the roots of Tumbleweed and dandelions get the picture Spread my legs and spread the message rip the roots up Bright as the first light Don't wince and don't fight Hold your gut and spill your guilty on the sidewalk Pull apart and wipe your mouth and rip the roots up Ahh ahh ahh Get so wrapped up show me where I was Get back to this love Get back to us Turn back the clock Undo my lust Undo my thoughts Get back to us Calling my bluff Show me I'm love Show me I'm love I am enough

lady liberty 03:23
Binging my favorite shows with cake I slow down with some opiates So I don't fear the end of days Spitting out my tooth in Coca-Cola Lick into the center of a hamburger I'm trying to find the prize It's eating me alive It's my turn to fall apart Keeping in step with disasters at my feet washed up copper God Embarrassing It's my turn to fall apart Tea bagged by the pendulum swinging I'm your thrown out lady liberty Hitching up my dress for firefighters Grab my ankles investment bankers Middle of the street Crown at my feet Digging through trash for cans and bottles Found a pretty penny with my old man on it Lay him down on train tracks And wipe his face clean It's my turn to fall apart Keeping in step with disasters at my feet washed up copper God Embarrassing It's my turn to fall apart Sucker-punched by the pendulum swinging I'm your thrown out lady liberty Fill me with pudding Lie through your teeth Unbolt my belly to see underneath I was blown kisses Before I could speak I might be froze But you're colder than me (America, save her)

Kept the same name same face almost Kept the same kids same wife almost New thoughts wrapped around you Old you was nowhere to be found Electricity flowed through your body Like honey on fire Electricity flowed crossed your wires Like a stranger wearing dad's smile Kept the same taste never complain almost Stroked the same pain and it goes away almost New thoughts wrapped around you Old you was nowhere to be found Electricity flowed through your body Like honey on fire Electricity flowed crossed your wires Like a stranger wearing dad's smile I'm not about to undo myself to love you I'm pretty scared there's no you in there anymore I'm not about to undo myself to love you I'm pretty scared there's no you in there anymore I'm not about to undo myself to love you I'm pretty scared there's no you in there anymore I'm not about to undo myself to love you I'm pretty scared there's no you in there anymore Electricity flowed through your body Like honey on fire Electricity flowed crossed your wires Like a stranger wearing dad's smile

Look at the top of the flames They do what they want They take what they've got Look at the top of the flames They do what they want Like what you've got Tell me how an hour can turn our house into ashes Tell me how an hour can prove you're not reckless Hoping I'm wrong and you're ok Take one of us another got away Hoping I'm wrong I ask the question Where were you again? Tell me how an hour can turn our house into ashes Tell me how an hour can prove you're not reckless reckless Tell me how an hour can turn our house into ashes Tell me how an hour can prove you're not reckless Tell me how an hour can turn our house into ashes Tell me how an hour can prove you're not reckless reckless Tell me how an hour can turn our house into ashes Tell me how an hour can prove you're not

future 03:59
I come the future It's why y y y I'm always smiling I have to keep my mouth shut Cuz it's so beautiful how it happens It's so gorgeous how it goes Like you never drew Blood from each other Like you never thought Creatures aren't creatures Like you're in love With everyone I live in the future And I'll ne e e e ver come back I have to keep my eyes shut You're disgusting moving separate I get nauseous watching you lie Like you never drew Blood from each other Like you never thought People aren't people Like you're in love With getting stuck With getting stuck With or without you Glory in our sights They march us along The future is brighter with all of us inside her The future is brighter with all of us inside her The future is brighter with all of us inside her The future is brighter with all of us inside her The future is brighter with all of us inside her The future is brighter with all of us inside her
