Approach
02:13
|
|||
shape your fingers like a key
and slide them in my mouth
turn it
feel me
sputter and cough as my brain tries to start
this is art
when you touch my heart
and i mean really touch it
like press through my chest
ribs crack so easily
organic shrapnel
I'm coming apart for you
touch me, touch me, pull my skin away
you're so understanding
you're never demanding
this crystallized love for you coats every inch of my spine
and I'm doing fine
I had a vision of you today
you were above me
your arms and legs lengthen impossibly
want you on top of me
oh please oh please won't you make my heart stop for me

Red Cocoon
01:44
|

my insurance isn't giving me my meds
so I really can't help it that I'm fucked in the head
that I'm stuck to the bed
I'm dissolving in a red cocoon
a red cocoon
I've been out of work for a while now
tell me what am I without a place where I go every day
I'm alone every day
and I'm changing in a way that pulls apart my core
structure is oh so nice
but you'd never think twice
till it's gone
I have no place
but take up space
I see my face
but I don't recognize it
liquefying wrapped in my own skin
wrapped in my own skin
wrapped in a red cocoon
I'll come out soon
but I don't think you'll like me when I'm done
what am i without order
just a pile of disorders
I'm just something sick and sordid
I'm a red cocoon
what am I without order
just a pile of disorders
I'm just something sick and sordid
just a red cocoon
where am- where- where am I
what am I
what's this building
is this my home
(this isn't your home)

I can't believe that somebody as perfect as you likes me
suddenly I don't feel so useless
I can't breathe when I think about
how I was before you
it's like I was a different person
you're my source of self esteem
so I won't leave you
never
never
so make me in your image
fuck me in your image
you can call me Eve
like it's whatever
you'd like me if I was what you like
which is you, you know?
and then maybe I could like me too
so that's what I'll do
I'll be you
oh my g-d
I didn't know someone could look like that
where'd you get your makeup at?
oh wow
right now all I wanna do is look and act like you
1, 2, 3, 4
you're the one who I adore
you reassure me that I'm worth something
I just want to do whatever you want me to
can't live without you
I'm all about you
I don't think even if I wanted to that I could doubt you
you're my favorite person, don't you know?
I'll go wherever you wanna go
so make me in your image
fuck me in your image
cause I know that who you really wanna fuck is you
I mean me too
at least the ideal me
the me that maybe I could be if I was just like you
make me in your image
fuck me in your image
you can call me Eve
like it's whatever it's whatever it's whatever
it's what I want
cause I want you want
cause you like me for me
cause I mean, alone I could never

can we talk about trust?
can we talk about talking
and why it is that you never
say a single thing about the way that you feel when we're together?
there's no way that this is gonna work without communication
why are you afraid to just sit down and have a conversation?
I promise I won't get mad
I just wanna hear you

ok ok ok ok so
you leave me on read like all the time, I won't lie
and honestly that kind of shit is how relationships die
and you say you don't mean to
and I don't think you're lying
but this isn't gonna work without the both of us trying
I'm so tired
I don't wanna give up
but honestly what I'm getting here really isn't enough
so let's talk about us
give me something to trust
give me anything

you project your fantasies onto me
as if I don't have any agency
you comment on my selfies like
"I want you to kill me"
I'm hungry for compliments but that one doesn't fill me
how am I supposed to respond to that
when you go there right off the fucking bat
I just want you to stop
just go away
just get gone
do you think I find it hot that you've decided I should dom you?
look
I barely know you
why do you think I'd show you
a part of me I'm afraid of myself?
listen
it's just how I dress
I don't want you to confess
anything to me
just don't talk to me, you're not helping your chances here
I'm not gonna step on you
I'm not gonna step on you
I'm not gonna step on you
don't waste your breath cause
I'm not gonna step on you
I'm not gonna step on you
I'm not gonna step on you
don't fucking talk to me like that

Indecisive
01:33
|
|||
I don't wanna think about tomorrow
I just wanna think about today
think about to day
think about the way that you really get me I think
I think I think I think I think
I think I need to take a little break
I don't wanna think about what anybody's got to say to me
seriously
if you could chill for just 2 minutes
I could take a little time and maybe
think I think I think I think
I think I just want you to let me be
I'm so indecisive
I'm hot and cold and hot and cold
and never anything in between
cause I mean there's a theme here
every now and then I start to get a little mean
I'm so indecisive
I'm hot and cold and hot and cold
and never anything in between
cause I mean there's a theme here
every now and then I start to get a little mean

I can be your new stim toy
run your fingers through my hair
squish me
stretch me
to the limit
I don't even care
did play doh ever get so red
when you pressed it underneath your hand?
ASMR
cut me up
I'm your kinetic sand
you've heard about all of the others
but now it's your turn
inside, outside
it's all yours to squish and pound and churn
you can twist me into shapes that you want me to be
use me with imagination
see what you can see
it feels so good when you stretch me out
I just want to be yours without a doubt
I'll be whatever you want me to
I'm so happy with everything you do
squish me
stretch me
to the limit
squish me
stretch me
to the limit
come on baby
get up in it
you know you can win it
did you know that silly putty
can lift up any printed word?
tell me what you want and I'll say everything I heard
you can press all of my buttons
they make a satisfying sound
when you go exploring in me
tell me what you found
you've heard about all of the others
but now it's your turn
inside, outside
it's all yours to squish and pound and churn
you can twist me into shapes that you want me to be
use me with imagination
see what you can see
it feels so good when you stretch me out
I just want to be yours without a doubt
I'll be whatever you want me to
I'm so happy with everything you do
squish me
stretch me
to the limit
squish me
stretch me
to the limit
come on baby
get up in it
you know you can win it

Improvise
01:26
|

I don't know what I want but whatever it is I'm dying for it
dying for it dying for it dying for it dying for it
I can't see the future but whatever it is I'm flying toward it
flying toward it flying toward it
I know that I can't avoid it
I just wanna be honest with you
wanna be responsible
trying to be strong but my weakness is demonstrable
blunt affected word salad, you know I'm psychotic
just gonna keep saying shit so tell me when you've got it
I don't know a single thing about music theory so I improvise
improvise improvise improvise
try to make you hear the shit that's playing in my head
hallucinating music every single time I close my eyes
and that's a pretty good analogy for my lifestyle
I hide it with big words but I'm just guessing at best
couldn't even tell you what I want from all this
I don't know where to start
I'm just getting this off my chest

FEAR
02:10
|
|||
I'm desperate for your touch cause I think it'll soothe me
want you to say you love me cause you know it moves me
to tears every time but I swear that nothing's wrong, I promise
desperately I'm begging you to never ever stop this
but secretly I get so scared every time you come near
paranoid but I avoid ever telling you my dear
that every touch drags me back to places I thought that I'd left behind forever
but please give me another
fear loves me more than you ever could
desperation's starting to feel good
you lose my trust ten times a day
though you've done nothing wrong
even with you I'm alone all along
I expose myself in surrender
you read me with eyes so tender
but I'm too good at being fake
I think you're making a mistake
you say my name so kindly
but it just sounds like a threat
if you think you can help me
then you just don't know me yet
fear loves me more than you ever could
desperation's starting to feel good
you lose my trust ten times a day
though you've done nothing wrong
even with you I'm alone all along

TAXIDERMY

|

I hate that you know what it feels like to touch my body
I hate that you have something in common with the people who love me
you hold a piece of me captive in your memory
I wanna take back all your pictures of me
GIVE ME BACK A YEAR OF MY LIFE
GIVE ME BACK MY TIME
GIVE ME BACK MY MEMORY
AND GIVE ME BACK MY MIND
you date like you're hunting for sport
how many people are in your collection
you keep happy memories like some kind of trophy
then move on to the next host
you're an infection
I used to believe you about all of your exes
you made each one of them look like some kind of oppressor
but really you were just like a hunter
setting up corpses in threatening poses
arranging your prey to make them look like the aggressor
I DIDN'T TRUST THE PEOPLE WHO WERE ONLY TRYING TO HELP ME
YOU TURNED ME AGAINST EVERYONE YOU'D HURT
UNTIL I COULDN'T SEE
that you date like you're hunting for sport
how many people are in your collection
you keep happy memories like some kind of trophy
then move on to the next host
you're an infection
