WHERE STARS ARE BORN
I’M FROM A PLACE WHERE
WE ROCK OUR SWORDS IN OUR BACKS
LIKE MEDALLIONS
WEARING EVERY PAIN WE FEEL
AS SOME SACRIFICE WE’RE MAKING
CARRYING AROUND BURDENS LIKE SWEETMEMORIES
CROWDING UP OUR SPACES
OUR FONDEST MEMORIES FILLED WITH FEAR AND REGRET
MISSING OUR MOTHER’S
I’M FROM A PLACE WHERE
LOVE IS SOMETHING TO BE WEARY OF
RATHER THAN KEEP YOU COMFY
KEEP YOU WARM AND CUDDLY
THAT’S NOT IDEAL FOR US
LOVE
KILLING YOU SLOWLY
BREAKING YOUR HEART DOWN
PEELING BACK LAYERS LIKE CLOTHING ...

FAKE FRI(ENDS)
I TIED KNOTS THEN
LOOSENED THE ENDS
TIED THEM AGAIN
NEVER DID I EXPECT
FOR MY KINDNESS
TO BE WEAKNESS
TO THEM
BUT STILL I
LET MY
HEART
BE OPEN
AND BEND
THEY ACT LIKE
THEY STILL DON'T
UNDERSTAND
LOOSENED THE ENDS
TIED THEM AGAIN
NEVER DID I EXPECT
FOR MY KINDNESS
TO BE WEAKNESS
TO THEM
BUT STILL I
LET MY
HEART
BE OPEN
AND BEND
THEY ACT LIKE
THEY STILL DON'T
UNDERSTAND

Z AS IN THE END
I CAN'T GET USED TO YOU USING ME
HOPING FOR DAYS WITH JUST YOU AND ME
TALK TO ME SO FLUIDLY
AND SOMEHOW GET THROUGH TO ME
KNEW THAT WE COULD NEVER BE
BUT STICK AROUND FOR COMPANY
LAY DOWN AND HOLD ME
STROKE ME
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME
I'M
NOT YOUR HOMIE
TELL ME THAT IM PHONY
IGNORE ME
CAUSE I'M BORING
SHOULD'VE BEEN SOARING
WITHOUT YA
GANGSTA

SHE
LIKE A GARDEN
SHE IS BOUNTIFUL
COLORFUL
GROWING IN ESSENCE
SHE IS INTERCHANGEABLE
GLOWING AND PATIENT
WONDER IF THE WORLD CAN STAND IT
WHEN SHE'S FREE AND NOT TAINTED
LIKE A GARDEN
SHE IS BOUNTIFULL
COLORFULL
JUST LIKE PASSION
NEVER NEEDED NOTHIN'
BUT THE RAIN TO WASH THE PAIN AWAY
HOPING BY TODAY
HAPPINESS IS HERE TO STAY
SHE IS BOUNTIFUL
COLORFUL
GROWING IN ESSENCE
SHE IS INTERCHANGEABLE
GLOWING AND PATIENT
WONDER IF THE WORLD CAN STAND IT
WHEN SHE'S FREE AND NOT TAINTED
LIKE A GARDEN
SHE IS BOUNTIFULL
COLORFULL
JUST LIKE PASSION
NEVER NEEDED NOTHIN'
BUT THE RAIN TO WASH THE PAIN AWAY
HOPING BY TODAY
HAPPINESS IS HERE TO STAY

A SHORT LETTER 2 JOKER
PSYCHOPATHIC TENDENCIES
DRIVE YOU CRA-A-AZY
BATTLE THE WORLD FOR YOU BABY
IT'S A YES NOT A MAYBE
IF YOU NEED A NEW PERSPECTIVE
I SHARE PARTS OF THE COLLECTIVE
DO NOT BE SELECTIVE
WITH THE LOVE THAT I GIVE YOU
DON'T MAKE IT AN ISSUE
WHEN I SAY THAT I MISS YOU
EXTENDING MY ENERGY OUT
I'M A GURU
CAN I MAKE YOU MY MUSE?
ADDICTED LIKE A PAIN PILL
WHAT SHOULD I DO
DRIVE YOU CRA-A-AZY
BATTLE THE WORLD FOR YOU BABY
IT'S A YES NOT A MAYBE
IF YOU NEED A NEW PERSPECTIVE
I SHARE PARTS OF THE COLLECTIVE
DO NOT BE SELECTIVE
WITH THE LOVE THAT I GIVE YOU
DON'T MAKE IT AN ISSUE
WHEN I SAY THAT I MISS YOU
EXTENDING MY ENERGY OUT
I'M A GURU
CAN I MAKE YOU MY MUSE?
ADDICTED LIKE A PAIN PILL
WHAT SHOULD I DO

IF I HAD A DIARY
I’D WRITE A STORY ABOUT YOU
I’D WRITE ABOUT THE LIFE THAT LIVES
BEYOND ME AND YOU
I THOUGHT ABOUT TIMES WE COULD’VE
HAD SOMETHING
HAD TO TELL MYSELF
IT WAS NOTHING
REWROTE THAT STORY SO MANY TIMES
JUST TO PROVE IT WAS SOMETHING
MY LOVE WAS SOMETHING UNATTAINABLE
SHE’S HOME BUT DON’T PICK UP THE PHONE
NO ONE’S HOME
IM FAR AWAY IN MY MEMORIES
REWRITING STORIES ABOUT US
IF I’M CINDERELLA TO YOU
I WON’T SHOW UP TO THE PARTY
YOU CAN LEAVE WITH SOME OTHER BITCH FROM THE PARTY ...

GROWING PAINS
FAMILY
PASSING DOWN THEIR ABUNDANCE
THEY'LL SAY
YOU REMIND ME OF YOUR MOTHER
SO HERE GOES YOUR MOTHERS PAIN
SINCE THEY HATE HER
THEY HATE YOU THE SAME
CARRY THE WEIGHT OF YOUR FATHER
IN YOUR BACKPACK TO SCHOOL WITH YOU
HOLDING ONTO NOBODY TO BACK YOU
SHOULD YOUR HAIR BE TOO THICK
YOU’RE TOO DIFFICULT TO MANAGE
ONLY MYSELF TO DEAL WITH THE DAMAGE
THEY’RE SAYING
I KNOW THE BOYS ARE PREYING
THEY’LL CALL OUT MEMORIES OF MY MOTHERS PAST
AS IF SHE DOESN’T ALREADY REMIND ME
YELLING,
YOU’RE...
PASSING DOWN THEIR ABUNDANCE
THEY'LL SAY
YOU REMIND ME OF YOUR MOTHER
SO HERE GOES YOUR MOTHERS PAIN
SINCE THEY HATE HER
THEY HATE YOU THE SAME
CARRY THE WEIGHT OF YOUR FATHER
IN YOUR BACKPACK TO SCHOOL WITH YOU
HOLDING ONTO NOBODY TO BACK YOU
SHOULD YOUR HAIR BE TOO THICK
YOU’RE TOO DIFFICULT TO MANAGE
ONLY MYSELF TO DEAL WITH THE DAMAGE
THEY’RE SAYING
I KNOW THE BOYS ARE PREYING
THEY’LL CALL OUT MEMORIES OF MY MOTHERS PAST
AS IF SHE DOESN’T ALREADY REMIND ME
YELLING,
YOU’RE...

POSSESSED
LOVING IS THE STING THAT ENVY BRINGS
THOSE CONTROLLING THINGS
YOU DO TO ME
FUCKING ME, MENTALLY
YOU’RE STUCK WITH ME
WHENEVER YOU MISS HER
BE SURE TO LIFT HER UP
LET HER TALK HER SHIT AND
HOPE SHE GIVES IT UP
FILL HER SPIRIT UP
LET HER GET CURVY
STIRRING MY FEELINGS UP
UNTIL THE CUPS PEARLY
MOMMA MARRIED
SO SHE WOULDN’T BE A BASTARD
STILL SHE GREW BASTARDLY
NEEDED A DADDY
SOMEONE TO HAVE ME
THOSE CONTROLLING THINGS
YOU DO TO ME
FUCKING ME, MENTALLY
YOU’RE STUCK WITH ME
WHENEVER YOU MISS HER
BE SURE TO LIFT HER UP
LET HER TALK HER SHIT AND
HOPE SHE GIVES IT UP
FILL HER SPIRIT UP
LET HER GET CURVY
STIRRING MY FEELINGS UP
UNTIL THE CUPS PEARLY
MOMMA MARRIED
SO SHE WOULDN’T BE A BASTARD
STILL SHE GREW BASTARDLY
NEEDED A DADDY
SOMEONE TO HAVE ME
