[verse 1]
and when you die you'll say you're
glad it really ends
you're going on a cleanse
i hate all of your friends
"oh my god, you're so hot"
until i get myself shot
the girl clothes i borrow
might get me killed tomorrow
[chorus]
i feel informal
for wanting to be normal
it's getting so much harder
to not want to be a martyr
[verse 2]
you show me people like me
dying in the streets
you tell me that my body is
beautiful and unique, well
[chorus]
you're not a fucking scholar
give me five hundred dollars
shut up about stone butch blues
i don't owe a single thanks to you
[bridge]
oh, dear computer girl
living in your trauma world
oh, dear digital princess
my raw and bleeding abscess
[chorus]
go blow out your candles
bring light to some scandals
i'll be a fundraiser soon
i'm nothing but a fetish to you
i'm not your harry styles
go and doxx some pedophiles
youve never settled for less
this isnt your stonewall, princess

[verse 1]
i don't want a million dollars
what would i even do?
i've got nothing to spend it on
if i don't have you
you insisted it was me
so you could leave
while i was biting at my nails
and picking at my teeth
[chorus]
it could be the last time
you tell me to calm down
it could be the last time
that i'll be coming around
my mind, louder all the time
my darling, i live to let you down
[verse 2]
if you care about him that much
try and ease him off the drugs
cares more about the acid
than he cares about the love
love, for you, is the hill on which you'll die
every shitty little second of your shitty little life
[chorus]
it could be the last time
that we're gonna fall in love
oh it could be the last time
that i'll be making it up
my mind, louder all the time
my darling, i live to let you down
and i hope your stupid star sign stays
in retrograde forever,
and i hope your stupid christmas tree
sheds needles all over your hardwood floor
and when your mom's too drunk on new year's eve to pick it up herself,
you spend twenty whole minutes on your knees
i hope your car air freshener dies

[verse 1]
oh catalina, please don't be a dreamer
you cough and you stutter and creak
your finish is busted,
your speakers both shot and
you've lost all the trust in your speech
you weren't made for a girl like me
i hit you and relish your cries
and in my despair
and my sullen demeanor
my fair catalina has died
[chorus]
oh, to my heart, you've got skeleton keys
the click of my fingers on your plastic shell
distort all the beauty from out of your harmonies
'til you're too jaded to tell
oh, catalina, i've naught left to say
i'd've played softer songs if i ever learned how
woe, catalina, a shrine in your name
and silence in which i can drown
[outro]
now that you're gone, i'm heading out west
to a town where no one will follow
no one will miss me,
but that doesn't matter
when your keys are still shattered
and your speakers still hollow

anaheim
05:46
|

[intro]
seven years after anaheim mayor tom tate used it as part of his campaign platform, kindness is now officially a city value! “city of kindness” became anaheim’s motto after a unanimous city council vote on november 7th.
what a world, eh, folks?
[verse 1]
josie was a daddy's girl, jimmy had a thing about control
they'd been quoting deepak chopra in his cadillac through long and winding roads
rented out an old log cabin after they'd eloped, for a honeymoon away deep in the woods
eight thirty in the evening, she was waiting spread and eager on the bed
oh but by the time that jimmy left that cabin, well, his lovely wife was dead
yeah, jimmy couldn't stand to consummate unless his every wish was met
he liked a girl who followed orders, couldnt stand an ounce of disrespect
[chorus]
well, i could fake my death and move to anaheim
another suicidal poet gone
well, bad things happen all the time,
jimmy went to prison and nobody's gonna miss him, oh,
no one's gonna miss me when i'm gone
[verse 2]
josie's sister jenny had a penchant for theatrics at the bar
she'd been drinking and she told the man beside her to please lead her to his car
fumbled with the keys while he slouched against the hood,
well he thought his luck was finally getting good
she idly flicked a lighter and discreetly stuffed a rag into her drink
maybe he'd have noticed if he took the time away from her to think
fumbled with the keys at the door to his estate,
within minutes it was burning to the ground
[chorus]
well i could fake my death and move to anaheim
another suicidal poet gone
bad things happen all the time, oh,
jenny ran to canada, no ones running after her,
and no one will be running after me
[bridge]
i want that tragic magic, i want that posthumous green
cuz i'm not pretty enough to be loved while i'm seen
if no one knows my problems, then they aren't problems at all
i want the fame without the fear of the fall
[bridge]
in her last recorded memoir,
before her untimely passing,
flemming had this to say:
give me that good old fire and brimstone!! give me disneyland or give me death,
im gonna be where the sun always shines living large in anaheim, oh, lord
[verse 3]
so when jenny went to canda she found where jimmy's mom had holed him up
he would've begged her for a cell if he could speak by the time that she was done
i am hardly in my prime, but i'm too young to decompose
i will shave off all my hair and i will tear off all my clothes
let all the tiny bugs make little nests all in my corpse
and i'll leave you all behind without a shaving of remorse
[chorus]
and when i finally die, i'll go to anaheim
a town where deathly dreams are sent to rot
all roads lead, in dotted lines,
to every monarch in an urn
every pauper in the dirt
plagued pirates tossed astern
and revolutionaries burned
and callie flemming dead, as far as you all are concerned,
and how no one's gonna miss me when i'm gone

the last

[verse 1]
i'm in hell, of this i'm sure
if i could only find the words
then i could rid this bunker of the curse
we're living under;
because out there everyone's dead
stare a hole into your head
oh out there, life ain't fair
[chorus]
and if you died i wouldn't care
that's more freeze dried food for me
and one more verse for the last
love song we'll ever need
i'm gonna hope
i'm gonna pray
that you'll get outta here some day
but until then, my apocalypse is your face
[verse 2]
that's your side, and this is mine
let's not cross that yellow line
absent nod, you sit down
and i sit down, with a resting frown
oh out there, everyone's dead
stare a hole into your head
life ain't fair
[chorus]
and if you died i wouldn't care
that's more freeze dried food for me
and one more verse for the last
love song we'll ever need
i'm gonna hope
i'm gonna pray
that you'll get outta here some day
but until then, my apocalypse is your face

disaffection
05:22
|

[verse 1]
it's a regular thing
oh, nobody's singing
about you but me;
how does it feel to be
the feet on my grave,
the last thing i would save
you're not worth dying for,
but that hasn't stopped me before
you are classical music,
you are a b a
you are the rhyme scheme
we learned in the seventh grade
you are all i revile
how i hate how you smile
but you don't hate me at all
i guess i'm dropping the ball
[chorus]
and the craziest part
was i believed it, too
oh, my affliction,
is this tradition,
it's hurting you,
and it's killing me
oh, disaffection
with this affection
[verse 2]
mother was right about me
oh how's it feel to be
such a regular thing?
oh brendon's not gonna sing
about you,
all the shit that you do
my camisado,
if i loved you i'd let you go
[chorus]
and the craziest part
was i believed it, too
oh, my affliction,
is this tradition,
it's hurting you?
well it's killing me
oh, disaffection
with this affection
am i still in love
with the ghost of my doubts
oh, edgar allen,
eat your heart out
i'm nothing if not
ill-intentioned
disaffection
with this affection
[outro]
id freeze hell over for you, i know how you love the cold
so why don't you go back home
nebraska's got so much soul
but oh, when the blizzard comes, you'd swear it's the end of the world
go and thaw yourself out in the sun
pray to god your hair won't lose its curl
you're so fucking proud
of the image you beg to display
oh, go on and contour your brows
you're as hollow as paper mache

[verse 1]
i fucking hate the student union
and don't start me on the gsa
i guess it doesn't really matter
at the end of the day
i'm still not pretty enough
for the hate to go both ways
it's like they put something in estrogen
that makes them lose all their self control
"look at my body and my legal name
and all my new clothes"
not to be confused with the ones you said you'd lend me eighteen months ago
[pre chorus]
you never did,
they wouldn't fit
i guess,
we haven't spoken since
[verse 2]
what can i do to make them see
what all you people really think about me
how could she ever be a girl
in her cargo shorts and plain colored tees
well maybe it's the part of me that i wanted to take away
that i hate everyone who wears the dress without the shame
i don't know my waist size and i don't intend to learn
[pre-chorus]
i don't deserve to be proud
and, baby, neither do you
i hope you go and decompose in your room, and
[chorus]
drown in your estradiol
all for one and one for all, but
none of you all have ever been for me
hollow shells of promises
from liberal arts colleges
that all want a statistic more than me
[verse 3]
i guess i should be grateful that i've never really looked like a girl
after all, there's lots of fucked up people in the world
but maybe i'd like to be objectified sometimes
i don't feel lucky that i'm treated like any other man
at least the losers on grindr would understand
i want to feel pretty even if it's just one night
[pre-chorus]
so do the same and call my name
i'm a ball of hate but i can't wait
come and stake your claim, i am unashamed
my skin will slough away
[chorus]
like a sad, sad song
with a fade-out ending
if i linger long enough then
you might get me in the backseat of your car and show me how to be a real girl
but when the moment's high is through
i'll feel even more confused
it's bitter, bleak, it's sad, but true
i hate myself cuz i'll never be you
[outro]
if you were dead
i'd have no competition
i'd never die
prettiest girl alive
and you couldn't fight
you'd all be gone
i've shared the spotlight
for too long
but i'd still hate
the way i am
i bloomed too late
my prime has passed
i hate my face
and i hate my legs
at the end of the day
im just a boy in a dress
to you, my god
is this really your image
i bleed, i clot
is this really your image?
don't send your cards
don't stop your cars
don't hit your brakes
don't mind the sound that i make
i twist, i shake,
your prius is my plastic surgeon
my face, unmade
this is the first i've heard of it
so tell me, god,
look on this broken visage
to you, my god
is this really your image?
to you, my god
is this really your image?
i bleed, i clot
is this really your image?
i bleed, i bleed
for you, my god
to you, you all,
i'm still,
i’m still just a boy in a dress

prom night
04:59
|

[verse 1]
here we are, talk about a sophomore slump
a billion more basics to fuck up
it took me 26 whole months, and all i've got to show is just
forty-something minutes of this junk
no more text to speech to end the record
after two years, i guess consistency isn't worth the effort
this was meant to be acceptance, but denial's all i know
i'm the same place as i was 10 fucking tracks ago
[verse 2]
it gets rough every year around december
i feel the cheer and spirit 'til the moment i remember
i'm a vile little cynic, i hate when people are in love,
i want to melt the snow that you've been dreaming of
it's not seasonal depression, before you ask
it's been building since the summer, through the fall that we just passed
it's been all these stupid weeks of me just trying to show some change
but i can only muster anger even right up to today
[chorus]
because you fit into your prom dress in a way i never could
and with him, you smiled wider than i ever thought you would
it might just be the camera settings you put on your phone
but i think i was better off staying home
who am i kidding? the problem here is me
i was longing for a difference, but i just couldn't see
when i wrote this i was off to college
in just a couple weeks
i'm finishing it now, and things are just as bad as they used to be
so go home,
callie, go home
they tell me just go home
you’ve got people there who love you,
don't you know?
learn to stand your fucking shit hometown
show your smile, not your frown
easy, right? but i could never seem to get it down
[verse 3]
i'm not kidding anybody but myself
there's a dozen dumb excuses i have shelved
but i can't spin using my talent just to piss you off
i'm pathetic, and i'm selfish,
and im gone.
