Plastic Crowns
03:01

If I told you I loved you, I meant it
You need emotional change, and we spent it
Your heart isn't broken it's dented
Two kids in plastic crowns just pretending
I'm so lonely all the time
and I don't know how to say that right
Gold clouds cut the sky
and you keep dancing through my mind
Plastic crown aglow with all that golden light
If I told you I loved you, I meant it
You need emotional change, and we spent it
Your heart isn't broken it's dented
Two kids in plastic crowns just pretending
I'm so lonely all the time
and I don't know how to say that right
I'm so lonely all the time
and I don't know how to say that right
Everything is multiplied
Like the ripples in the lace of the shadows
where the edge of the lake meets the sky
And you keep dancing through my mind
Plastic crown aglow with all that golden light
and you're dancing like a fire
and you're dancing like a fire
liked the ripples in the lace of the shadows
you're dancing like a fire

Mirage
05:09

There's no oasis
it was just a mirage
So now I'm alone and I'm overexposed
and that polaroid of us is in the garbage
So I kept getting closer
you tantalized me
so near but so uncertain
Is there a reason I can't reach
You're just a mirage
Pure self sabotage
and I hope it was worth the applause
I hope it was worth the applause
You seemed refreshing
Like you'd be worth my time
Like if I wandered through your hell and held out through the dry spells you'd be finally comfortably mine
So I kept getting closer
you tantalized me
so near but so uncertain
Is there a reason I can't reach
You're just a mirage
True self camouflage
and I hope it was worth the applause
I hope it was worth the applause
There's no oasis
it was just a mirage
So now I'm alone and I'm overexposed
and that polaroid of us is in the garbage
You're just a mirage
Pure self sabotage
and I hope it was worth the applause
I hope it was worth the applause
I hope I was worth the applause

Little Icarus
03:20
|

Does it always have to hurt?
I hear great love carries great pain inside it
Maybe it is a package deal
Maybe I’m a fool for trying
But I believe that love can heal
a sacred intertwining
I want a love that doesn’t hurt, hurt, hurt me
I want a love that feels like flying
The last thing I wanna do is hurt hurt hurt you
But I’m worried it’s still on my list
Understand I can’t quite trust trust trust you close yet
You’re my little Icarus
Little Icarus
You can always steal a kiss
Little Icarus
I want you close but not like this
The last thing you wanna do is
Hurt hurt hurt me but
I worry it’s still on your list
I’ve been burned and I’m still burn burn burning badly but
I’d sure love to steal a kiss
Little Icarus
You can always steal a kiss
Little Icarus
I want you close but not like this

Stranger
04:49
|

I know you think she's strange
Better than morally ambiguous
Boring or betrayed
But the truth behind our certainties
either grows or it decays
It's changed, it’s exactly the same
What if she had stayed?
Could she have explained?
Or would you just have just felt strange?
Stranger
C'mon and lemme see your face
Stranger
It's getting stranger every day
Stranger
C'mon and lemme see your pretty face
Stranger
it's getting stranger stranger every day
It's strange
You know she think you’re strange
heart strings tangled up on a puppeteer stage
somehow intact when she flies far away
One night is a lifetime; all those years were just a game
and then there’s her face and
You feel suddenly
Strange
Stranger
C'mon and lemme see your face
Stranger
It's getting stranger every day
Stranger
C'mon and lemme see your pretty face
Stranger
it's getting stranger stranger every day
It's strange
She's exactly the same
She's irrevocably changed
Her heart may have grown but
It may have decayed
It’s strange
Stranger every day
My, my it's stranger
It's stranger every day
Stranger every day

you know I live impulsively
You’ve got me so terrified that I had to leave
There are holes in my hands sighing
I can’t sleep
I'm afraid you might be right for me
Right for me
Right for me
You don’t wanna keep me
We both want to be free
And paradoxically
That’s why you might be right for me
Your heart has a her shaped hole and you keep leaking
She’s got you so terrified that you had to leave
hide your pain in your debauchery
wrap it up in papers, up in pussy, up in your little schemes
Right for me
Right for me
Please don’t try to keep me
We both want to be be free
Paradoxically
That’s why you might be right for me
Love isn’t always discord
Love isn’t always hurt
I could love you gentle love you kind love you like you deserve
Love isn’t always hateful
Love isn’t always blue
I’ve got you cracking up and all confused cause I know you know I might be right for you
Right for you
Your opaque heart I still see through
Remains of faded love to be exhumed
They’re blistered and twisted and no longer true
I still might be right for you
Right for you
Right for you
id never try to keep you
Fuck the clock our timings off
It’s all too fast it’s over due
I still might be right for you

Treatment - Solo Version
03:32
|
|||
My body’s betraying me
But don’t worry I’m fine
Don’t push it when you ask how I’ve been
We both want me to lie
Chorus:
Cause Treatment is delicate
and Treatment takes time
Most people are broken or breaking
So try to play nice
It’s a sick cell block tango
And there’s nowhere to hide
The worst kinds of prisons are the ones
That we carry inside
My body’s betraying me
And so is my mind
It’s hard to feel beautiful and strong
It’s hard to walk with pride
Chorus
I don’t need no aggression
I don’t need well intentioned advice.
Just love me and hold me and understand that some things just won’t be alright
Cause treatment is delicate
Treatment takes time
I'm sorry i'm broken and you’re breaking
Let’s try to play nice

I can’t be your simple sugar anymore
I can’t be your simple sugar anymore
I’ve been burning myself to the ground to keep him warm and
Every time it rains I drown cause I’m his shelter from the storm
I can’t be your simple sugar anymore
I can’t be your simple sugar anymore
And I’m just trying to save someone
But I’ve gotta stop making humans my home
So I’m learning to let him go
If there’s a soul to save it might just be my own
If I’ve got light to give I might just have to glow
And I can’t ever bloom if you won’t let me grow
Oh I can’t be your Simple Sugar
Let me go
And I’ve yet to meet someone who’s comfortable
With a woman who won’t be tamed
If you dare to be bright and wild they wanna domesticate you
And put you in a cage
I can’t be your simple sugar, Babe
I can’t be your Simple Sugar Babe
Your saccharine kisses are exhausting me
Sugar packets littered on your scarred settee
I’m tired of shrinking into paper packaging
Darling, quit your sugar high
I want some lonesome sleep
And I’m just trying to save someone
But I’ve gotta stop making humans my home
So I’m learning to let him go
If there’s a soul to save it might just be my own
If I’ve got light to give I might just have to glow
And I can’t ever bloom if you won’t let me grow
Oh I can’t be your Simple Sugar
Let me go
Simple Sugar, let me go
Simple Sugar, let me go
