you could make me so wet...
Fuck you and your pretty words
break the forth wall
and step through my headphones
and into my heart
You rip my ribcage right open
like the parts of me that beat
aren't surrounded by rusty hinges
that don't know how to let anyone in
You're just one king of many
in this twisted fairytale
and you edge me with your reluctance
to be anything less than a gentleman
Stop being such a fucking gentleman!
Fuck me with your pretty words
be the erotica you know I need to hear
while I fuck someone else...

poptarts don't get better with age
I remember being 7 years old
and poptarts being the best breakfast food
ever invented
I'm 40 now and I can barely choke down
the cloying sweetness of the second tart
and questioning my life choices
as to why I thought poptarts would be
a good way to commemorate
this midlife crisis of a birthday
and poptarts being the best breakfast food
ever invented
I'm 40 now and I can barely choke down
the cloying sweetness of the second tart
and questioning my life choices
as to why I thought poptarts would be
a good way to commemorate
this midlife crisis of a birthday

I'm a terrible god
When you OD
they'll say it's my fault
if I was just a better person
if I was just a better mother
you wouldn't have turned to drugs
They don't know
that we've talked about this
that you don't don't blame me
for the path your walking
When we break
this joke of a bloodline
won't hold my family together
no love lost on me
when I've always been
the one to blame
for everything
especially the choices of others
they'll say it's my fault
if I was just a better person
if I was just a better mother
you wouldn't have turned to drugs
They don't know
that we've talked about this
that you don't don't blame me
for the path your walking
When we break
this joke of a bloodline
won't hold my family together
no love lost on me
when I've always been
the one to blame
for everything
especially the choices of others

decision fatigue
Decision fatigue:
it feels like a permanent brain freeze after trying
to inhale too much icecream. Decision making literally hurts, particularly anything open ended.
Small decisions are exhausting but doable.
Hard decisions are panic attack inducing.
The small every day things that everyone else
does feel like looking up at Mt Everest.
Add in depression and anxiety and you've got a
recipe for chaos.
I swore at you in the hardware store
after you tried to bully me into making
a decision I didn't need to...

ghost in the bones
This betrayal is rolling around again
take my peace and fuck me up
I'm just a ghost anyway
There's nothing here to see
there was never anyone here to see
when everything falls
someone will scry my bones in the dust
and find the story of no one
This betrayal is rolling around again
take my peace and fuck me up
I'm just a ghost anyway
take my peace and fuck me up
I'm just a ghost anyway
There's nothing here to see
there was never anyone here to see
when everything falls
someone will scry my bones in the dust
and find the story of no one
This betrayal is rolling around again
take my peace and fuck me up
I'm just a ghost anyway

in too deep
Can you pick me up the floor?
Cause I don't want to be here anymore
If you know me
can you love me
beyond these walls I've built
it's so lonely inside these bones of mine
but I can't shake this darkness loose
long enough to reach out
and say, hello
I need you
don't let me drown
don't let me drown
Can you pick me up the floor?
Cause I don't want to be here anymore
I don't know me
how can you love me
when I don't know me
I laughed and you asked me
if I was okay
...

why do you only call me when you're high?
The phone rings
and I feel like I'm playing
Russian Roulette with
Jekyll and Hyde
to answer or ignore
to answer or ignore
to answer or ignore
I answer
And it's all "hey babe
how you doing
I miss you"
and I can pretend
with total conviction
that this is the real you
that the moment in time
in a slice of reality
untainted
30 minutes in and I wish
I hadn't picked up
the fucking phone
We're playing
pin-the-tail-on-the-conversation ...

the way you know me
Strip away the facade
and take me to the place
where you know me
I'm more myself here
beside you
than I've been
in longer than I can remember
Tonight the smile won't slip
because there's nothing left
to hide behind
I'll add it to the list
of the best days of my life
freedom and love and friendship
my heart ready to break
in all the right ways
because the way you love me
is enough to spark new
stars to life
Strip away the facade
and take me to the place ...
and take me to the place

not made for this
The more you've got it made
the less I feel I belong here
and I don't know how to tell you
I don't want the white picket fence dream
because I don't know how to explain
how lonely walking the line
makes me feel
I wasn't born to fit in
and I think I've always known that
but I still squish my soul
into ill fitting places
because some days
the need to belong
outways the instability
of true freedom
And the choices that have lead me
to this half life of ghosted dreams
and discontent ...

cheap hotel room
Its got a comfortable bed
and rustic decor
but the view out my window
is a brick wall
and there's dead cockroaches
scattered across my floor
The complimentary coffee is bad
the shower's temperamental
but the walls of this room are thicc
and I can't hear anyone yelling
or fucking or playing loud music
while I'm trying to sleep
I'm glad I picked up groceries
for breakfast already
because the roach problem
isn't giving me much confidence
about their breakfast menu

shifting states
I'm a deer caught in the headlights again
my insecurities flay me open
and here I am starting fights
where fights don't belong
You meet my fire with more flames
and in seconds we're an inferno
destroying everything
that gets in our way
including each other
until one of us walks away
(usually me)
and we lick our wounds
in the ashes
trying to figure out
what went wrong
It's not our fault
no one taught us how to communicate
but it's our fault we don't fix
the cracks we always...

an intake of breath
Take your words
and slide them beneath my skin
I want to remember this exact moment
and how it feels
Let your words be a breath
of peace in world that keeps
trying to bury me
Let this feeling be the life
I've been missing
between every painful
inhale and exhale
and reminds me that my heart
knows more beauty than pain
and that my sadness is fleeting
Take your words
slide them beneath my skin
and reminds me
how it feels to be alive
and slide them beneath my skin
I want to remember this exact moment
and how it feels
Let your words be a breath
of peace in world that keeps
trying to bury me
Let this feeling be the life
I've been missing
between every painful
inhale and exhale
and reminds me that my heart
knows more beauty than pain
and that my sadness is fleeting
Take your words
slide them beneath my skin
and reminds me
how it feels to be alive
