If there is someone who’ll buy Your underwear online Who are we to deem Them unworthy of such wanton dreams? If there is someone with time To ignore to the signs Who are we to keep Them from living in their fantasy? All I feel is nausea Like there’s water coming through the roof Never thought I’d wanna Let myself get so abused If there is someone who’ll pay You to spend the day Who are we to judge Them unworthy of such wanton love? You’ll do anything to normalize yourself You’ll do anything to be somebody else You’ll do anything, you’ll really do anything But blame it on yourself If there is someone who’ll buy Your underwear online Who are we to deem Them unworthy of such wanton dreams? All I feel is nausea Like there’s water coming through the roof Never thought I’d wanna Let myself get so abused All I feel is nausea Like there’s water coming through the roof Never thought I’d wanna Let myself get so abused

You reach for the plate and ask Is it okay to take a little more? I say of course Everything I have is yours You repeat the phrase and ask Is it okay to have a little more? I say of course But why, why can’t we be No, in no uncertain terms I refuse to learn No, under no circumstance Would I stand a chance with you You reach for the plate again And say how great to just be friends and nothing more I say of course But maybe we could No, in no uncertain terms I refuse to learn No, under no circumstance Would I stand a chance with you

Janky Jane No discipline at all This is what you call Underestimating flaws Janky Jane They were holding hands Ruining their day like it's some God given command Janky Jane Won't listen to her friends Telling her that they already know how this will end Janky Jane With a married man Speeding down a hill like a child without a plan Janky Jane No discipline at all She was not afraid to steer her life into a wall F A V O R I T E You're my favorite fantasy F A V O R I T E You're my favorite fantasy Janky Jane Made only one mistake She spent all her energy without plotting her escape

Seventeen 02:49

Two of us in the room Outlasting the moon I only fantasize when I'm with you The things we could do Two of us in the room In a competitive mood I only close my eyes when I'm with you The things we could do Follow your dreams, hollow advice We're not seventeen out on Saturday night It's not what it seems, we're barely alive But it's so obscene it almost feels right It almost feels right Almost It almost feels, it almost feels right Almost Two of us in the room With nowhere to move I only wonder why I'm here with you With nothing to do Follow your dreams, give me break We're not in a scene from your favorite play It's not what it seems, not going to lie But it's so obscene it almost feels right It almost feels right Almost It almost feels, it almost feels right Almost

Promises 03:37

It’s a long drive White stones reflected in low light Year after year after year in July I hold my breath as we drive by With a long sigh Old homes appearing on either side Year after year after year in July I hold my breath as we drive by It’s the first time I find myself on the other side With someone that I never had With someone that I never had in mind It’s the first time time Where I don’t feel the need to hide With someone that I never thought With someone that I never thought I’d find Don’t make promises that I can’t keep Don’t take all of this away from me Won’t make promises that I can’t keep Don’t bring me to my knees Don’t take all of this away from me Now I know why I never liked being a child Year after year after year in July I held my breath for you and I Now I know why The fantasy of you here with me never died Year after year after year in July I held my breath for you and I For you and I It’s the first time I find myself on the other side With someone that I never had With someone that I never had in mind It’s the first time time Where I don’t feel the need to hide With someone that I never thought With someone that I never thought I’d find Don’t make promises that I can’t keep Don’t take all of this away from me Won’t make promises that I can’t keep Don’t bring me to my knees Don’t take all of this away from me Don’t take all of this away from me

Rye 03:01
lyrics

Falling asleep with the lights on Warm like the asphalt Still wearing cashmere I hear my name called Only my body is here No expectation The voice of my father This is summer vacation I'm a body of stagnant water drifting into the ocean Holding on 'til their hands hurt I watch the neighbors Tethered to lawn chairs Struggle to answer Whether they like living there No expectation American drama This is summer vacation I'm a body of stagnant water drifting into the ocean What a life Can you believe how nice I've never seen the sky so blue You know, I wouldn't lie to you Coming to terms in slow motion Over my shoulder Whispers in my ear Summer is over Only my body is here No consecration No Holy Father Summer vacation I'm a body of stagnant water drifting into the ocean

World Will End 03:46
lyrics
buy track
The world will end Not actually Not suddenly but quietly And we could still be friends Not actively Not instantly but gradually It won't make much sense Normality, reality I think I'll run away The world will end Not outwardly Just you and me We'll know we've reached the end The world will end Not actually Not consciously but half-asleep And we won't comprehend What it will mean If there's no need Then we won't speak But we could still pretend Normality, reality The world will end Not forcefully Just you and me We'll know we've reached the end I know that you can hear me But you're nowhere near me Smiling down the barrel of a gun I thought that our luck could turn You look like you're ready to run You look like you're already done Smiling down the barrel of a gun I thought that our luck could turn I thought that we would return Smiling down the barrel of a gun I thought that our luck could turn You look like you're ready to run You look like you're already done Smiling down the barrel of a gun I thought that our luck could turn I thought that we would return

How would I know where to go How do I stay in my lane How is it so hard to stand Slow like a shark in the sand All these hallways, hallways, hallways, hallways lead me to It was always, always, always, always you All these hallways, hallways, hallways, hallways lead me to It was always, always, always, always you How would I know where to go How many days will I waste How is it so hard to fight Slow like a shark with no bite All these hallways, hallways, hallways, hallways lead me to It was always, always, always, always you All these hallways, hallways, hallways, hallways lead me to It was always, always, always, always you All these hallways, hallways, hallways, hallways lead me to It was always, always, always, always you

Go outside In the sun Think of all the things you've done Something's changed Don't know how But we're doing so much better now Don't you hate the feeling when you just can't be pleased You got everything you want You got everything you need Is that just me? Am I too weak? Or is true that we could never want the things we really need Go outside In the rain Think of all the things that changed Something's off Don't know why I see your face in every raindrop as they're falling from the sky Don't you hate the feeling when you just can't be pleased You got everything you want You got everything you need Is that just me? Am I too weak? Or is true that we could never want the things we really need

Are U Thirsty 03:28
lyrics
buy track
Like the plastic cup swimming back to shore A familiar touch that you can’t ignore It’s a certain rush that you’ve had before Are you thirsty? Do you need me? Like the awkward lie that you can’t escape When you don’t know why but you’re always late Now it’s dinner time on a paper plate Are you thirsty? Do you need me? You think you’re upset but you can’t be sure Did you forget to lock your door? You think you’re in love but you might be bored It’s your beginner’s luck that leaves you poor Are you thirsty? Do you need me? Are you thirsty? Like a loyal dog looking out for you Got a little lost, got a little blue Now he needs a toss, yeah, he needs a clue Are you thirsty? Do you need me? Drink some water you’ll be fine You can have a sip of mine You just need some peace of mind Are you thirsty? Do you need me? Drink some water you’ll be fine You can have a sip of mine You just need some peace of mind Drink some water you’ll be fine You can have a sip of mine You just need some peace of mind

Holy moly No, you don’t owe me Anything at all, nah Slowly, slowly It must get lonely Climbing up that wall, alone Father figure I had your picture Up there on my wall Getting harder to ignore Father figure Yeah, I forgive you I can’t hold a grudge No more Father Figure Don’t lift a finger You don’t need to be Pushing all that weight around Father figure A broken mirror I think I can see You now And is it all In my head Let’s pretend We can't feel nothing at all One day you’re with me One day you’re not I know you’re busy I know you’re not A god One day you’re with me One day you’re not I know you’re busy I know you’re not A god One day you’re with me One day you’re not I know you’re busy I know you’re not A god

Deja Vu 03:47
lyrics

Tell me where I should move Feels like a myth There's nothing to do here Say goodbye to the fools Jump off a cliff There's nothing new here Moving up in the world Getting around Breaking new ground There's nothing to do here There's nothing new here Stay in the city you love Forcing a smile Avoiding the meaning behind oenophile Eat up the news Fed with a spoon Written by people who went to your school Like a feverish dream that won't end At least you got money to spend How could you say deja vu Doesn't exist for someone like you? I don't mean to be rude I only insist that this isn't true You can't beat the weather You can't beat the mood I wish I knew better I wish you did too Tell me why I should move Feels like a myth There's nothing to do here Say goodbye to your youth You've had your sniff There's nothing new here Moving up in the world Making the rounds There's nothing to do here There's nothing new here Stay in the city you hate The same one that made You into a walking cliche Swallow your pride Down the wrong pipe Every bite that you take You got tears in your eyes A beautiful steak A fork and a knife Isn't it great That this is your life Isn't it great? How could you say deja vu Doesn't exist for someone like you? I don't mean to be rude I only insist that this isn't true You can't beat the weather You can't beat the mood I wish I knew better I wish you did too How could you say deja vu Doesn't exist for someone like you? I don't mean to be rude I only insist that this isn't true You can't beat the weather You can't beat the mood I wish I knew better I wish you did too Take a shovel, dig a pony Dig a grave for all the lonely The ones that won't behave Change of plans, take a taxi Take a snooze right on the backseat Feels like deja vu

Father Oh how I would've needed A little push now and then But, you know Now the sun has risen Like a tide that's coming in The light that floods the kitchen Is a pool where we can't swim It's all I ever wonder now It's all I ever wonder now It's all I ever wonder now It's all I ever want
