cups of tea 02:23
Bad jobs are all I do Don't think I don't consider you Just get drunk too often There is no on and off switch We don't have cups of tea I'm not a cold bitch I told you Don't give up on me I'm not a dull object You're not a hard boy I can't stand neglect but In the end I'm a sharp toy We ride rough terrain Bumpy chemicals in our brains In our brains, in our brains Our brains our brains Make me choose we both lose

No you, no you, no you Don't get to, get to, get to Come back I see you but you don't see me too I see you but you don't see me too I will, I will, I will find you I will, I will, I will find you Yes you, yes you, yes you I'm coming for you I see you but you don't see me too I see you but you don't see me too I will, I will, I will find you I will, I will, I will find you

crazy 03:01
You don't want me to go crazy I don't want you to call me your little lady. I'll be your little "baby" I don't want to pack your little boy lunches. Unless you can tolerate relentless, pms, punches. You don't want me to go "crazy." You don't want me to go crazy. You need to run, You need to run, You need to run, You need to get the fuck away. You don't want me to go "crazy." You don't want me to go crazy.

rigid 02:34
I want to be rigid so you know not to push me too far cause you'll know, I can't take it I want to glare but instead I say sorry when I bump into strangers "Excuse me!" "Please!" "Sorry!" *smile, smile, smile, smile* My teeth have been gritting, but I can't bite until I'm alone. When I get home, my teeth sharpen in the silence. My hunger grows in the absence of an audience Hungry enough to bite my own skin The devil in my head tells me that I can bleed discomfort out but I let it out and it stained the carpet along with the sponge in the sink that I try so hard not to let grow mold I want to become rigid so I have a roadmap, a diagram of emotional trauma experienced in the mundane Much like my anger the color will fade, the color will fade, the color will fade, the color will I want to be rigid so when you move north from my knees you pass mountainous terrain which makes you question your commitment to your travels given the treacherous nature of the conquest, of the conquest

agenda 02:33
The agenda in you back seat is molding. You're breaking things over a break-up, cause you're not used to holding yourself, when you get sad. You haven't look at your journal in weeks, that innocent smile in your pupils, has turned into a hypervigilant grimace, for instance: You haven't hobbied in months, you haven't slept alone in your bed in 2.34 years (to be exact). You thought it was hip to stop taking showers, to pay one rent instead of two. You thought treating expensive things like trash would make you overcome the firm grip money has on us all but especially you're grubby mother who tells you to wash your face you'll never be in a clean space. Drive throughs can't help you get through, being inside small spaces to avoid potential danger which makes you disassociate from reality causing your amygdala to fire inappropriately due to the sever nature of the trauma which you haven't shared with anyone since its origin. It's been four years, I'm aching like a sore under your ear.
