I spent too much time wishing I was dead Embittered if only a little bit brighter Too much time wishing I was dead The bishops and knights are trapped in the mire Too much time wishing I was dead When the weight of the world never felt lighter Too much time wishing I was dead I spent all my money on fake dairy and honey And it's never enough I still feel so hungry Did you know you can sing all of my sickness? It came with a quickness I wish I had never seen I dried up like the roots of some sun blasted evergreen In a forest so deep no one can hear me sing In a forest so deep no one can hear me scream Can you hear? Are you gonna take action? I'm just a girl in a USSR shirt I've come to learn Fit to burn and I'm keeping in fashion I am a pack of wolves A thousand teeth gnashing In a forest so deep no one can hear me sing In a forest so deep no one can hear me scream And you can watch me sleep My whirling insides promise to lay me down sweet Send me a lie or visit me in my dream Followed by cat saver god slaying indie queen Grew a rose in my hand for singing this melody While all of your memories give rest to neutrality You won't change a thing with no personality And it goes round again It never ends

Enough fumbling with my brain You've got enough already (Oh just a little bit longer now) Before the rivers run dry won't you drown me In garbage and anthrax and guns? Before the rivers run dry won't you drown me In drone bombs and tiktoks and drums? Enough tumbling down the stairs I've woken up already (Oh just a little bit longer now) Before the rivers run dry won't you drown me In garbage and anthrax and guns? Before the rivers run dry won't you drown me In drone bombs and tiktoks and drums?

Me Urchin 03:23
Swimming deep inside my mind The thought is ancient and it's aged like it's wine You're justa pisces as you change with the tides Eating your new eucharist you boil from inside Walked away with a bitterness You ran a mile on my face On with the crookedness On with that new feng shui Walked away with a bitterness You ran a mile on my face Tending to ligaments On with that new feng shui Just to stop you change your fingers to castanets Your arms and legs are now percussion and guitar necks What is next, your nucleus for an organelle? Find yourself in metabolics and mission bells Sit tight, let the potions inside you Do their work and make whatever's inside you Burst forth, change form, let passions flow Christ knows you never had it controlled Walked away with a bitterness You ran a mile on my face On with the crookedness On with that new feng shui Walked away with a bitterness You ran a mile on my face Tending to ligaments On with that new feng shui I hate to break it to ya Day late a dollar short Came by came by took it all A mouthful I mean to say The tacks in the walls Printers the ink Man came by came by took everything Fuck off, mister Walked away with a bitterness You ran a mile on my face On with the crookedness On with that new feng shui Walked away with a bitterness You ran a mile on my face Tending to ligaments On with that new feng shui

Jessica DeMilo, you do the macarena until you die Put nothing under title for dancer For ingenue, the devils, or you and I Float empty there In the future empty there Life is a haggard dream Let it love you unprepared Float down with us in the blooper empty there How disappointing it must be Floating in the breeze beneath the sun Indiscriminately projecting sanity on everyone Well had I known the devil's shadow looked exactly like my own I'd feel a little less alone Breathe, just take it in Put nothing under title for dancer For ingenue, the devils, or you and I Put nothing under title for dancer For ingenue, the devils, or you and I Float empty there In the future empty there Lost in a dog's dream And you're the two legs there Floating in the future empty there How disappointing it must be Floating in the breeze beneath the sun Indiscriminately projecting sanity on everyone Well had I known the devil's shadow looked exactly like my own I'd feel a little less alone Breathe, just take it in

And even when you hit the pavement you can try to stay alive And even when it And even when it's overstated Tow a line I'm becoming something new Metamorphosis A bustling metropolis A bleeding, throbbing cyst My brother's brother's sister And still I evolve And even when you hit the pavement you can try to stay alive And even when it And even when it's overstated Tow a line I'm becoming something new Metamorphosis A bustling metropolis A bleeding, throbbing cyst My brother's brother's sister And still I evolve

Bloodspring 03:06
How do you relate to this bloodspring? You're waiting on your man I'm waiting on the empty horses Break these chains, then disappear Everybody knows you ain't coming back here The sky's gone out The tides ablaze Everybody knows you're still fanning the flames You've been sleeping underground for two thousand years Sleeping underground for two thousand years How do you relate to this bloodspring? Swallowing your self righteousness Need to get it all in my chest

I don't want to be the one to bring you down I don't want to be the one to drag you down But I'm gonna do it anyway Everything that came before is crumbling down Everything that is to come is all around And we're gonna do it anyway It's been so long since I've had a stranger to hold my hand Oh god I need a stranger to hold my hand I don't want to be the one to bring you down I don't want to be the one to drag you down But I'm gonna do it anyway Everything that came before is crumbling down Everything that is to come is all around And we're gonna do it anyway It's been so long since I've had a stranger to hold my hand Oh god I need a stranger to hold my hand
