It surrounds me
I hope I can catch my breath
Close the boundary
So tight that it captures death
Modify me
Commodify me
And then throw me away
Recognize me
So you can satirize me
And I'll beg you to stay
✧ ✦ ✧
It surrounds me
I still never quite learned when
Close the boundary
So tight that the walls cave in
Modify me
Commodify me
And then throw me away
Recognize me
So you can sacrifice me
And I'll beg you to stay
Guess it was always gonna end like this
But if it were up to me
It wouldn't end at all
We should've never tried to bring to summer
What had clearly died out in the fall
Wouldn't it be nice?
Wouldn't it be nice?

I've been trying to tell you something
Words may bleed
Cause you're a test subject, please change your mind
I know you're still here but don't feel alive
I would rather die before I leave you behind
I've been trying to tell you something
Words may bleed
Cause you're a test subject, please change your mind
I know you're still here but don't feel alive
I would rather die before I leave you behind

And we can let the days roll over
And we can let the flowers grow
I'll put money on my four leaf clover
We'll go to places that we'll never know
⟦ polar ⟧
It’s a long road back
And I always thought you’re all that I had
In fact, you’re all that I had
I’m fractured
Your eyes glowing like lanterns
I’m blind always looking for patterns
Somethings wrong with us
Don’t need to bring it up
⟦ leastfavorite ⟧
It was never meant to last this long, and I
Never wanted to attach so strong, and I
Never understood what I did wrong, and I'm
Trying to figure out where I belong
And it's a long ride home
But you'll be better off when you finally go
And if I kick the dust on your treads
I'll forget to bleed when you leave me alone
It seems like the rain is coming
They'll crush our castles down into dust
At least it wasn't all for nothing
We can find a better way to keep me out of the rust
It was never meant to last this long, and I
Never wanted to attach so strong, and I
Didn't think that I could patch this
Oh, you're just a test subject
Leave me behind or just leave me to die
⟦ jauntsen ⟧
I've been trying to tell you something
Words may bleed
Cause you're a test subject, please change your mind
I know you're still here but don't feel alive

Words may bleed
Cause you're a test subject, please change your mind
I know you're still here but don't feel alive
I would rather die before I leave you behind
I've been trying to tell you something
Words may bleed
Cause you're a test subject, please change your mind

I can’t breathe, I get a little bit
It just hurts, I get so brittled by it
I’ll hold off, I’ll get remittal from the
I’ll sequester for a little more
⟦ bh ⟧
Don’t be selfish (Don't be selfish)
I feel like I’m losing my mind
I feel so stupid (Feel so stupid)
Trying to find my way
I’ll be falling out of all my circles
Insecure about what comes next
It feels like no one else can hear me
Why can’t anybody hear me out?
It’s something depressing
It feels like you lost yourself
And you feel nothing
And you feel nothing
I feel like nothing
And you feel nothing
I feel like falling
And you feel nothing
You see me crying
And you feel nothing
You know nothing can change, you know nothing can-
⟦ leastfavorite! ⟧
Siren hands with crimson Midas touch
My carrion grey matter, chew it up for lunch
The twinkling pastel glass of fractured chandeliers
A calloused sole will pass, anesthetized and weary, but I
I can’t breathe, I get a little bit tongue tied
It just hurts, I get so brittled by your goodbyes
I’ll hold off, I’ll get remittal from the sunrise
I’ll sequester for a little more
I can’t breathe, I get a little bit stressed out
It just hurts, I get so brittled by your chest now
I’ll hold off, I’ll get remittal fucking somehow
I’ll sequester for a little more
Upwind of eloquent tongue
A lack of motion will fray the edge of memories
I don't think it matters to me
Back in the place where I'm from
Nuclear shadows collecting on my angst
Paint the walls and hide my face
And when you left me for a second
I learned my only lesson
I shouldn't try to stay because there isn't really any way to
Hold you in compassion
I'm speeding through the rations
But I still fall apart the same
And I guess I'm all to blame
⟦ billy ! ⟧
Hey!
I'm so pretty, I'm so hot hot hot hot
Heads up, man down
Keep your hair down
I'm so melodramatic
Think I'm going to die when I go outside
What does it take take take take take
What does it take take take take take
For you to say say say say say
That I made your day day day day day
⟦ leastfavorite! ⟧
I can’t breathe, I get a little bit
It just hurts, I get so brittled by it
I’ll hold off, I’ll get remittal from the

I built an effigy from willow trees that grew in my backyard
And then I trimmed and polished endlessly, endowed it with my heart
And then the wandering mind lost subtlety
Alarm bells breathe soliloquys
And all of it was done to me at once
And on the day that I learned what you were was not what I had built
I saw the flame that had destroyed the earth, reflected in my guilt
Because the statue, hollow and serene
Gave more to me than anything
And all of it would only happen once
So I'll addict myself to throwing up and television screens
And we'll convince ourselves that growing up
Will justify the means
The shade you pick, encephalic
Grayed out the worst i can remember
All is well but something was surrendered
✧ ✦ ✧
And I could wear the whole thing down
But are you sure you don't find pieces you resemble
From the features that you outlined in chalk?
And I could tear the core right out
But I don't know what's withering beneath the surface
Shave the sinew, grieve the purpose
And rot

Cover my face in melted plastic
It never portrayed the way I felt
You can pretend that we'll move past it
But I think I need some time to myself now
I never wanted to learn how to fly
You should've known that it would leave me suspended from the rafters
Baby, that's just what you're after
And you can kindle the feeling inside
Don't really know why you tried to suspend your disbelief
I hope that you get some relief after all
⟦ saoirse dream ⟧
I clung to a concept of a constant for three years
Convinced that I could let you down or else I’d disappear
I pore through the footnotes of a love I thought I knew
'Cause the trust I’d put in asking someone kills the follow-through
Honest, it's OK
We can let it change
No such thing as better
If we both need different things
Promise, it's OK
I can let it change
I’d rather be your friend than let three years go to waste
Let it change, let it change, let it change
Let it change, let it change, let it change
What doesn't kill you doesn't make you any stronger
Let it bleed, it's OK, it's OK
⟦ leastfavorite! ⟧

You were the one, you were the one
You broke the glass beneath my feet
You were the one, you were the one
I caught a glimpse, it wasn't me
You were the one, you were the one
You put the wax wings onto me
You were the one, you were the one
You did it all to make me bleed

I could run, run, run until my legs give out
It's never far enough away
I could try, try, try to figure something out
It only ever lasts a day
Remember the nights spent making you hold me
To mimic the comfort of finding a friend
And then I would try to mend it would break and bend
And then I'd do it all again
Guess it's calling
We were made for falling all apart
I know you're sick of sparring
Time to patch the scarring on your heart
You could run, run, run until you're out of breath
But what's the purpose anyway?
I could chalk it all up to an ego death
And watch the colors fade to gray
Remember the times you told me you loved me
When I would make sure you'd still say it first
We knew it was ending soon, the impending doom
Of either leaving through the door or a hearse
And all we had was nothing
Wasn't made for loving anyone
You'll find my strength and preach it
I'll attach and leech until you're gone
⟦ dynastic ⟧
Yeah, I never sewed the buttons back onto my favorite shirt
'Cause the needle fails to hold the thread of trying to make it work
So we hold each other in contempt and in each others words
Now, I express
I see galleries of faces
I see galleries
I warned you I was wearing thin, you didn't say a thing
As we lost all focus in the storm and counted the time between
When the bullet of the sky collides with soil underneath
The place we sleep
In the galleries of stasis
In the galleries
⟦ leastfavorite! + dynastic ⟧
It was something you said in your sleep
I knew the one in your heart wasn't me
It was something you said in your sleep
I knew the one in your heart wasn't me
It was something you said in your sleep
I knew the one in your heart wasn't me
It was something you said in your sleep
I knew the one in your heart wasn't me
⟦ leastfavorite! ⟧
Guess it's calling
We were made for falling all apart
I know you're sick of sparring
Time to patch the scarring on your heart
We can work this out
'Cause we've got common ground
And we both want this
I know we both need this badly
I give more than you take
I take more than you have
We both know it wasn't gonna happen for us.
