running away
from the people who hurt me
back in the day
I just wanna be a kid again
I just wanted to be your best friend
wishing I was gone
because when I'm with you
I feel so lost
your little bag of powder you kept under the sink
you love it so much, yeah more than me
someone take me far away
break my legs and change my name
someone take me far away
break my arms and fill my veins
I want to feel how you would
I want to feel how I should.
running out of time
with each passing day there's another line
I just wanna be a kid again
I just wanted to be your best friend
someone take me far away
break my legs and change my name
someone take me far away
break my arms and fill my veins
I want to feel how you would
I want to feel how I should.

driving home from my last talk with you
i think that i want to die
and you cant find me, you never even liked me
i'm too tiny, you can't see me
theres so many fishes in the sea
i'm convinced they all hate me
driving home from my last trip alone
if i stayed here forever, you wouldn't even know
ill paint my face and grow my hair
you can't get me anywhere
paint my face and grow my hair
moments of purity are so rare
theres so many fishes in the sea
convinced they all hate me

playing my gameboy during church service
i sure hope my grandpa doesn't notice me
when I was a kid listening to the sermon
i played the part
but I knew they were lying to me
and someone once told me to believe
that was before I knew how to think
down by the river looking for lizards
the boys wanna hurt them
but I just wanna set them free
and if he exists then why was he so mean to me
666 is all that I can see
all of the people and all their gods
which one is mine and which one is not?

I don't really care how far
because I am home

I am home
and I won't go.

excuses
02:15
|
|||
|
and you were someone I used to hold with such regard
you were never a man, you just tried to play the part
and you tried to hide what kept you gone most of my life
the razor blades, and magazines, and cards you could have dealt
give me your pain, i'm who to blame, made to hold the truth.
we are the same, living in shame, my life was your excuse.

locker room talk

getting older moving to the city
no more creek in my backyard
and all the girls here are so pretty
all the boys shout from their cars
so much time i spent preparing
to grow old and make $$
maybe my life has a purpose
besides to start a family
and i wanna feel safe at night
walking all alone under the city lights
dont pay attention to what they say
its just part o life youll learn one day
getting older my body is changing
as natural as can be
and all the boys are complaining
about how much larger my breasts could beee
and when did it become perfectly acceptable
to laugh and degrade something so natural
when did my body become a spectacle
for you to make better with plastic and chemicals?
and i wanna feel safe at night
keep my door locked stay inside
don't pay attention to what they say
its locker room talk, you'll learn one day

digging up worms in my backyard so i can feed my bird
all i wanna do is stare up in the sky
run into the woods im ready to die
all i wanna do is think about my life
what am i doing here
what can i do to survive
i dont wanna school
im sick today dont wanna play
i dont wanna see your face
i lost you once it was too late
i just wanna run away
my head hurts a lot today
i just wanna stay up late
wont eat all the food on my plate
i have to go now your mother said so
