Harm
02:57

I wanna sing with cool contempt in my voice at all times
And kill you every time I'm tempted to make you mine
it's just not possible to be someone who can be kind
It's just not possible to be desired and be alright
I was stupid to let him make me think
But I was just a kid
Maybe I did stink
He said I'd get big if I left alone his arm
I'd have someone to write about
Who'd done me harm
Like you done me harm
I started healing with some help from a true queen online
And every session I cry, "welp, we're fucked," but they doesn't mind
Still think I was stupid to think
But I was just a kid
I was on the brink
Begun to understand with alarm
I don't need anyone here
Doing me harm
Begun to understand with alarm
I don't need anyone here
Who's gonna do me harm
Like you done me harm
I guess I wasted some time
I guess I wasted some time
I guess I wasted some time
I guess I wasted some time
I get so wasted sometimes
I guess I wasted my time
I get so wasted sometimes
I guess I wasted my time
I guess I'm wasted
You done me harm
You done me harm
You done me harm
I get so wasted
I guess I wasted some time

Don't Follow
02:57
|

I don't follow advice
I don't follow the rules
I don't follow you wen you say
what you do all day
I don't follow the leader
he's reckless and cruel
don't follow that liar
want only to make him pay
I've always had a penchant for an eye for an eye justice
many men would be blind if i'd been consulted
my victims would feel remorse
but there's no justice for a crime such as yours
the wind would blow around my high horse
my gleaming sword cutting down to change the course
but you're always saying
what good would that do
you say i see the other side
c'mon we can make it through
now I don't live for bad futures
I don't live by a lake
don't dwell on everything
that can break
from the well of kindness
I'm watering care
I can grow it up better for us
if i dare
lay down my gleaming sword and learn to really care
lay down my gleaming sword and learn to really care
say goodbye to an eye for an eye and learn to really care
say goodbye to an eye for an eye and learn to really care
lay down my gleaming sword
gave her my gleaming sword
gave her my gleaming sword

Please Let's Go
02:30

Please let go
We won't forfeit
All the good luck
We now know
Please let go
Time will take care of it
I'll take care of us
You go with the flow
Please let's go somewhere
We can blow through
All our good luck
Just helping out folks
Can't we find out
At least can't we find out
Please let go
There's always a rope
To hold us down
Pull us back to shore
Can't we find out
At least can't we find out
Please let go
I am tired
I can't hold
Onto the end of this rope

Attention
02:45

If you think you know where I'm going with this don't stop me
If you've got to get some poison out just come to me
You don't need attention
you won't draw attention
give yourself affection
give myself affection
I thought I had a big scary decision to make, a fork in my road
Now I know it all flows in one long stream, i was wrong, we wdon't have to start over
You don't want attention
you don't need attention
give yourself affection
give myself affection
In your dream I was so right
you didn't need a thing
you woke up weeping
to find that you're the birthday queen
You don't need attention
you won't draw attention
You don't need attention
If you think you know where I'm going with this don't stop me
In a backyard lit by string lights we applaud our queen
you don't need attention
you don't need attention
you don't need attention
you don't need attention
you don't need attention
you don't need attention
you don't need attention
you don't need attention

What keeps you from being happy?
All the records that you want
It's no crime to grow up, baby
Birds surround you as you walk
Ground down, ground down
You only wanted to be happy
Worshiped, pampered and adored
It's no crime to build an empire
It's no crime to just be bored
This is a difficult city
and every meaningful victory
If meaning more in this town
This is a difficult city
winning ain't everything
but winning's sticking around
Ground down, ground down
I don't know when i'll have had enough of this place
i know i haven't had enough yet
i don't know when i'll have had enough of your face
I know I haven't had enough of it
Prove the minimum of brilliance
It will never be enough
Play every card that's stacked against you
Winning's learning to be tough
This is a difficult city
and every meaningful victory's
meaning more in this town
This is a difficult city
money ain't everything
money keeps you around
This is a difficult city
winning ain't everything
Winning is sticking around
This is a difficult city
This is a difficult city
This is a difficult city
Ground down, ground down
Ground down, ground down
Ground down
