Tonight you told me to crack my window So I could remember being cold with you Nothing but tattered pillows to hold onto And I hope she sleeps better next to you Solitary missing each other and the days are getting shorter but I won't call Solitary missing each other and of course i still love you It's not enough What did it have to take Tried to be another version of me That didn't need constant company That didn't need ur voice to fall asleep That felt okay between two cities Tried to be someone that didn't call Tried to be everything that you'd want Tried to be everything , everything, everything Tried to be everything , everything, everything Tried to everything til i wasn't anything This month I've been writing letters A hundred ways of saying I don't think we can talk You said being friends would be better But I'm in bed w him and you're in my thoughts What did it have to take I Tried to be another version of me That didn't need constant company That didn't need your voice to fall asleep That felt okay between two cities Tried to be someone without any wants Tried to be everything without any wants Tried to be everything , everything, everything Tried to be everything , everything, everything Tried to be everything , everything, everything Tried to be another version of me Tried so hard i couldn't sleep Tried so hard i couldn't breathe

Sixty-five south Seventy-four miles from my house You only call me at four on a Friday Don't show up until one to make it seem like things are going my way And you get drunk and say you like me But in the morning you ask me what time I've got to go Sleepy sweet unplugged when the shades are drawn But in the morning i'm all alone But you you said it's not time for that We don't have time for that I'm just here to make you laugh Here to be your midnight snack Here to slow down panic attacks Here to get you off track Here Here Sixty-five north Starting your east coast tour You only call me up when you reached New York State Don't bother calling you got here way too late And you drove drunk with me in the back seat But I was too scared to tell you to slow down Sleepy sweet unplugged when the shades are drawn But in the morning i'm not around But we both know it's not time for that We don't have time for that I'm just here to make you laugh Here to be your midnight snack Here to slow down your panic attacks Here to get you off track Here Here Here

qualified 03:38
Trying to cry silently and stoically downtown The city comforts me but sometimes I wish no one was around Always being watched Never being seen Not as qualified to be alone as I thought I'd be My face is turned behind me But my feet are moving ahead I cant remember what your voice sounds like But i remember things you said Trying to smile But these train delays are pulling my face down Thousands of miles away from a place where I recognize the sights the smells the sounds Always something new nothing stays the same Trying to outrun these growing pains My face is turned behind me But my feet are moving ahead I still remember what your hands felt like Tucking me into bed My face is turned behind me But my feet are moving ahead

save me 03:25
Save me from myself Can this dirty bathroom mirror show me anybody else Break me push me off the shelf The harder that I shatter The more I can distract myself from you And all you do The way your hair smelled in the morning after sneaking cigarettes all night through Don't wake me Im Finally sleeping sound The way I used to when Your breathing body was around Now cold, awkward tight Small talk like we just met for the first time tonight You said you couldn't hold me back from From Inevitable self destruction But how could you stand by And do nothing Don't you love me ? Aren't I your kid? Can't you stop it ? I'll Save you from yourself Stuck in your cluttered house with no one to ask for help

about

these songs have gotten me through moving, reckoning with the grief of losing my home and childhood, losing my mother, my first love, and then my second.

they explore the pain of trying to fit into so many shapes and sizes in pursuit of love and security, only to be defeated by the inability to do so. they are tantrums and journal entries and my biggest catharsis. I hope you enjoy and find solace in them.
