some nights
i stay out late and then
i hope that i get hurt
i wear expensive clothing
designer purse
and i hope
i hope that the boys don't
peek up inside my skirt
but i think i'd kind of like it
but i'm not sure
i think i love you jesus
but i don't think i'm ready
is it real
does it feel real
did it really happen
if it doesn't hurt that bad
and all that i know
is that i don't know anything at all
give me a reason to be

drink away the night
drink away your life
drinking to forget
drink til you regret
how long is for now?
if i die now
at least i'd be happy
waking up in early morn
just to see what's happening
the earth might be burning
the sea might be frozen
and you can't fix
what you have broken
the mountain is evil
the white house is burning
revelation payments
you get what you're earning

pain and disrespect
nutrition, but it's white bread
nevertheless you're overzealous
forget about it
but you'll find a way to stress about it
tonight, things might be alright
but tomorrow could be today like it's inside
cry like you're the best
hit yourself; you can't resist
black eye at a funeral

you tore your dress
you ripped your gown
you don't have to be sorry now
you figured your faith
wouldn't let you down
you don't have to be sorry now
i don't think you'd stop if i told you to stop
murder is illegal unless you're a cop
i'm in love with jesus
she's in love with me
what if you'd left your silver ring
would you have fucked up everything

Section 1:
who came in my yard last night
after the snow stopped falling
who danced and played
when the moon is bright
i wonder who came calling
some early rising birds were out
scratching beneath the feeders
during the falling snow no doubt
and look close to the trees i see
plainly a fox's tracks
no sign of a kill but that could be
that he plans on coming back
so who came in my yard last night
be sure that i don't mind
here on the snow is a pretty sight
where you left your tracks behind
Section 2:
the mourner
he goes there
histrionics tear down all the walls
take the sound
archangel
oh the building it just meanders
oh how nice
it's precise
the grandeur of the splinter

laying in the street in the pouring rain
you haven't checked on me for days
and i don't recall you saying you were sorry
do you feel bad at all
fuck the fact i can't get mad at you
when all i ever did was stand for you
you said maybe i'm just bad for you
well maybe i'm just bad

there's a spot in heaven
and i've been waiting just to fill it with you
shouldn't god outlive us
but his death is overdue
all of my mouths bare silver teeth
and the beautiful silver
bares the beautiful sea
i smile but you don't smile
you shine but you can't lie to me
and you love the city lines
black spots in the sky lights
you'd cut your arm off to save a limb
don't forget about this fever dream we're in
black spots in the sky lights

i've never been good at talking to people on my own
sometimes i think if it weren't for me
that things would be better back home
and i'm not looking for pity or empathy
i'm just waiting to get rid of this anxiety
i wish i was your drama queen
i wish that i could say the right things
i'd be normal except for that incident
i've never been too confident
you found god
i didn't find shit
you look sad
that's cause i am sad woman
don't ever personify your problems
unless they're lyrics to a shitty song off your album
don't turn your art into money or self-loathing
sometimes i think i'd be better off alone
