Broken Brain
01:34

I was born with a broken brain.
I don't know why?
I just came out that way.
I was born with brittle bones
& a woozy heart
I was lagging behind at the start.
My memories spotty in spots &
In others it’s not,
I’d just love to spend the night.
I’ve got a fractured mind,
My thoughts are hard to find
& it’s just always been that way.
And when things got bad,
When I got real sad,
I made a home in the good days I’d had.
My memories spotty in spots &
In others it’s not,
I’d just love to spend the night.
I’ve got a broken heart,
I’ve got a fractured mind,
I’d just love to spend the night.
I’ve got a broken heart,
I’ve got a fractured mind,
Every day is a mountain to climb.

Nobody's Dog

Take the collar off
I will break the chain
You make me so sad,
The world is so cold and blue
& I’m in pain
I see the world in only red,
1/3 alive and 1/3 dead
& 1/3 nothing’s wrong,
I am nobody’s dog
I’m going to make it on my own,
I’ve got a spirit beyond control
Some people say I’ve got that glow,
I’m singing songs,
I am nobody.
I see the world in only red,
1/3 alive and 1/3 dead
& 1/3 nothing’s wrong,
I am nobody’s dog

She Never Died

I thought I die,
Two years ago.
I fell apart,
I felt so low.
& In your eyes,
You saw that girl.
I love my friends,
But I hate the world.
& I try to to see myself,
The way you somehow see me well
So I will try, I’ll walk uphill
I’ll go for a walk, I will not kill the vibe.
I thought I died
Two years ago.
I fell apart.
I felt so low.
& In your eyes
You saw that girl
I love my friends
But I hate the world
& I try to to see myself,
The way you somehow see me well
So I will try, I’ll walk uphill
I’ll go for a walk, I will not kill the vibe.
& Now I see myself
In a better light
I am my own girl, she never died

Living In Your Walls
02:40
|

|
I’ve been up all night singing songs.
Sang the same three notes all along.
But everyone has a theme,
That plays when they’re on screen (their key).
It feels like I’m living in your walls.
I’ve been surviving under hallways,
I’ve been surviving eating crumbs.
And that one year we went Christmas shopping,
I think that was when everything went wrong.
It feels like I’m living in your walls.
Spacious walkways to the end of our timelines
It was just the beginning of our fractured minds, I’m fine.
I just avoid any noise that reminds me of our lifetime
Now I avoid any noise & I focus on the joy
It feels like I’m living in your walls.
In Summer, Spring, & Winter, Fall,
It feels like I’m living in your walls.

Turn Off The Sky

I’ll smoke weed & drink too much coffee.
I’ll walk to the lake, I’ll be high.
I'll keep the lights down low, keep the sun under control,
I’ve got my blackout curtains up, turn off the sky.
I’m not interested tonight in going out with all my friends
Yeah, I think that I’m depressed.
Oh, I think that I'm depressed.
& I’ve seen how isolation only fuels weird emotions,
It’s good to go out, but I have to get dressed.
So, I’ll smoke weed & drink too much coffee.
I’ll walk to the lake, I’ll be high.
I'll keep the lights down low, keep the sun under control
I’ve got my blackout curtains up, turn off the sky.
I’m not interested now in meeting new people.
Yeah, I think that I’m traumatized.
Oh, I think I'm traumatized.
I’ve seen how isolation only fuels weird emotions,
It’s good to go out, but I’m afraid of the nightlife.
I’ll smoke weed & drink too much coffee.
I’ll walk to the lake, I’ll be high.
Keep the lights down low, keep the sun under control
Got my blackout curtains up, turn off the sky.
Turn off the sky, turn off the sky.
