LYRICS:
i'm feeling stuck
like my panties up my butt
like a piece of meat
between your teeth
i'm feeling tired
like smoldering fire
like leaves
clinging to trees
i'm feeling scared
so unprepared
i'd better learn to
sew and bake and farm and cook
and build and heal and
all the stuff that may just
save our lives
(but other than that, yeah, i guess i'm feeling fine. You?)

Verse 1:
Sweetie pie
I know you hate to see me cry
And there are many reasons why I would try to hide
Any other time
Of all the ways to slow the tide
A sweet reminder, piece of mind
You're by my side
Chorus 1:
Let's go down by the lake
I want to see us smiling again
Again
Let's go down by the lake
Before you know it, smiling again
Again
Verse 2:
Open eyes
Of what comes out of open eyes
There's no surprise you take the apples and cherries and limes
Leaving more to find
(Trust me baby)
No one taught me to be satisfied
(Trust me baby)
Can you believe I used to cry while peeling the rind?
Chorus 2:
Let's go down by the lake
I want to see what's holding it together
Holding it together
Let's go down by the lake
Before you know it, holding it together
Holding it together
Bridge:
Dip our toes in slowly
Tension releasing
Arm around my shoulder, hold me
Make it look so easy
Outro:
Let's go down, let's go down
Let's go down, let's go down
Let's go down, let's go down
Let's go down, let's go down
Let's go down, let's go down
Let's go

You are doing good things, good things, good things
You are doing good things for yourself
There are times have been times
When nothing in this world is feeling right
It always changes, rest your mind
And there are times
When you can't make it work for all your might
Just give it space, let it align
You are doing good things, good things, good things
You are doing good things for yourself
There was a time
When you were fighting, fighting to survive
You made it out of there alive
You made the best choices with the data you had at the time
You always handle it alright
You are doing good things, good things, good things
You are doing good things for yourself
You made it out
In a world you knew nothing about
You fucking badass, take a bow
You made it through
All the karma they foisted on you
I love you the most, have no doubt
Guitar break
You are doing good things, good things, good things
You are doing good things for yourself

Lyrics:
Orange skin, the suit she's in,
with her big paws and her sharp claws.
Angled ears. Black eyes sparkle with tears.
City blocks at every stop sign
orchestrated by traffic lights
shine through the bars between she and her prey.
Don't you worry, my friend, you'll be happy once again.
Dagger teeth in cold, dead meat.
Striped face; swift, slick pace.
Bite and bide she eats that meat and she cries.
City blocks at every stop sign
orchestrated by traffic lights,
shine through the bars between she and her prey.
Don't you worry, my friend, you'll be happy once again.

You were bold
In the way
That you moved
And I was petrified
But I still
Wanted you
Don't fear the rain
Or it comes back
Again and again
Instead, think of me
And how happy
You could be
Even on your darkest days
I will
Be right here
I'm waiting for
Your kisses, your pretty lips,
And your tears
Don't you know
That no matter where you hide
I'm right here
And even while
You sleep
I will get in so clear
I'm on that green path
Where nature
Breathes in your ear
And you are on a gray cloud
Covering up
My fears
But don't fear the rain you said
Or it comes back
Again and again
Well, I'm trying to
See the sun
For the water it's become
Home, home, home....
If you'd only
Forgive yourself
I'd know you could take me There
If you'd only
Love yourself
You'd know you could take me There
If I'd only
Just accept myself
I'd know I could take you
There
If we'd only
Unite ourselves
We could get there together
Home, home, home....
Do I need
To be needed
These are such fragile times
Well life, if you're good to it
It is good to you
In kind
I know that I'm not crazy

Content warning: drug use, illness
Tonight there’s nowhere to go
All the diners and the queer bars are closed
This town gets meaner every day
I’d ask you to come with me but I know
you’ll stay
Cause little sister she lives on the phone
We pray her man never comes home
And your mamaw always been sick
She measures out her days in finger pricks
Now I’m stuck here in Dallas
Wishin & hopin for snow
Using every hotel amenity
satellite tv, gettin stoned
And I knew then (I knew) you were gone
And you, reaching in the back seat
To squeeze the top of my leg
And you, running down to the VP
we’d die we’d die without your scrambled eggs
And you, taking a lifetime
To find the station that would raise the dead
And you, awake after midnight
Every plan we laid to smoke this place
Is gone
You were looking out for me

replace me with some other face
find yourself in empty space
i wont chase or reembrace
we never talk at all
wait up late for your call
really who am i to complain
its 2am your time
and i can't do much but try
please believe that i am trying
you're always gone and i'm behind
its always the same old game
we've never been on the same page
if i was someone else
we'd never know just how we felt
and i believe that it'd be fine
and that's the truth so why did i
just let you hit my line
now its 2am your time
and i can't do much but try
please believe that i am trying
im always coming back to you
kinda feels like deja vu
really who am i to complain
weve never been on the same page

I walk in the sand on the beach
Imagine walking down your street
And I feel your arms
Wrap around me like they used to
My eyes are closed but
I look through like they're open
And I see you
Through the distance of time
You can still move
And I see you x3
I stand outside your old house
Imagine who lives through
the window now
Where we used to stay up
Talking about what?
I can't remember now
My eyes are closed but
I look through like they're open
And I see you
In the Amber of my mind
You can still move
And I see you
And I see you
And I see

I want your love
I need your love
It’s not enough
To love myself
VERSE I:
I don’t think that
I can help myself
Like I can help you
My mood shifts
Around so much but
Not when it’s supposed to
CHORUS
VERSE II:
I want to die and
Then I feel divine
Let me feel normal
I love me and
I hate me all at one
Repeat the cycle
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
If my loneliness will kill me then what
is the point in trying to fight it
I don’t want to be someone who
feels cursed to be in my body
Why does it feel like the whole world
really is just slowly dying
I don’t want to be someone who
feels cursed to be in my body

I am picking away
From the wall that you have built
And I am climbing your fears
To put them in the ground
Give into it
Give into me
I know it hurts
It’s plain to see
But I hurt too and I know you
Want to be safe in everything you do
And it’s not fair
We had no choice
And they can’t steal our fucking voice
So say it loud and say it clear
Do not let them dictate your fear
I am singing to you
Cause I have walls
Built too
And I am hoping you’ll see
That you are just like me
Give into it
Give into me
I know it hurts
It’s plain to see
But I hurt too and I know you
Want to be safe in everything you do
And it’s not fair
We had no choice
And they can’t steal our fucking voice
So say it loud and say it clear
Do not let them dictate your fear
Oh, oh, oh, ah
Give into it
Give into me
I know it hurts
It’s plain to see
But I hurt too and I know you
Want to be safe in everything you do
And it’s not fair
We had no choice
And they can’t steal our fucking voice
So say it loud and say it clear
Do not let them dictate your fear
I am wanting you now
And I am scared to death
I am waiting for you
I hope you want me too
