i feel like an oddity
something left behind
and i just wanna be where you are
when you sit and think at night
we can laugh about how we’ll leave it all behind
but i’m not willing to be
what you think i am tonight
i am not a commodity
to be bought and sold
and please just keep your hands
away from me,
away from my teeth
cause i’ll bite them off and spit them out
and i’ll walk away and i won’t look back
and you’ll ask why
but we’re better off this way
with me speaking my mind
and praying that you see my honesty
would you look me in the eyes and see me
for who i wanna be
and not the fucking kid i am right now
cause i’m trying to grow up,
trying to move on with grace
but i don’t know what that word means
in this world anymore
it’s a goddamn mystery
and it’s cold outside and i wanna scream
but i don’t know how
and i’m scared to make too much noise
so i’ll hide instead
just let me know when winter ends
and i’ll come out again
and i’ll be a better version
of the person i’m trying to be now
and i want you to be there
and be happy for me
~
one step at a time for me
and then we’ll get on our way
slowly but surely
i’ll be there
and you’ll meet me there
i’m tired of the missed connections
inside my head
shaking in my boots
before the curtain pulls back
and you see me onstage
and i’m speechless
(this is my worst fear)
but i’m here
no turning back for me now baby

damage control

pull the sword out from the stone
looking up at an empty throne
i’m waiting by the door before you go
who knew that waking up could feel so alone?
i develop crushes on all of my friends
and i get attached so easily
i’d like to think i’m optimistic
but maybe i’m just clingy
and i feel so dumb
but i think we get along
and i like the taste of blood
when you bite my tongue
but what’s the use of fighting
if i know you’ve already won?
please excuse the way i stare at you
decoding everything that you do
reckless with my heart
i’ll let you tear it all apart
until you’re burned out
and i need damage control
i develop crushes on all of my friends
and i get attached so easily
i’d like to think i’m optimistic
but maybe i’m just clingy
and i feel so dumb
but i think we get along
and i like the taste of blood
when you bite my tongue
but what’s the use of fighting
if i know you’ve already won?
numb, and my eyes won’t focus right
but the thought of tomorrow’s burning bright
i develop crushes on all of my friends
and i get attached so easily
i’d like to think i’m optimistic
but maybe i’m just clingy
and i feel so dumb
but i think we get along
and i like the taste of blood
when you bite my tongue
but what’s the use of fighting
if i know you’ve already won?
