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 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
