Simple Sugar
03:58

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
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

I love when it’s warm in December
Even though I know it means the world is dying quicker
Is that how you felt when we fucked the last time?
All your pleasures come from wilting on the vine
If you numb your teeth tongue and your gums enough
Maybe it won’t hurt me when you lie.
When you’re used to salt, everything tastes sweet
Taste buds
Du bist nichts als ein Lied
Taste blood
I can taste your easy deceits
They taste like nothing to me
You grimace when I get too intense
You avoid emotion at any expense
But I cry when the sun sets flame pink over the pines
I took a lump of your love and it tested benign
If you numb your teeth tongue and your gums enough
Be my arrhythmic Valentine
When you’re used to salt, everything tastes sweet
Taste buds
Du bist nichts als ein Lied
Taste blood
I can taste your easy deceits
They taste like nothing to me
Blow as hard as you can, Mr. Big Bad Wolf
I’m big and bad too, and I’m calling your bluff
I hate when it’s cold in the summer
Even though I know I’ll just hide under the covers
Is that how you felt when you refused my goodbye?
The world is so tough when you question your high
You’ve numbed your teeth tongue and your gums enough
Driving through white lines
When you’re used to salt, everything tastes sweet
Taste buds
Du bist nichts als ein Lied
Taste blood
It tastes like nothing to me
It tastes like nothing to me
You taste like nothing to me

Blue Romance
03:17

It’s funny how it starts
The way that he loves you feels just like performance art
You’re both sitting ‘round stabbing sewing needles into broken hearts
And it’s just funny how it starts
Blue Romance
Blue Romance
It’s funny how it goes
The sewing needle’s found its way to your indifferent toes
Nobody gives a shit unless you die, or you breakup, or propose
It’s really funny how it goes
Blue Romance
Blue Romance
Have you ever seen a picture of an actual heart?
It’s beating and bursting like a piece of performance art
Funny everybody says they’re red
You probably thought it too
But baby, if you look close
All hearts are blue
It’s funny how it ends
Either all his things are on the lawn
Or you’re lying through your teeth sayin
“We’ll still be friends”.
But to be honest your brittle little chest is beating so hard
You can’t pretend
It isn’t funny how it ends
Blue Romance

A Fine Line
04:04
|
|||
|
I gotta be gentle when I start to love
I gotta be careful who I call mine
Cause I’m starting to realize I don’t know when to stop
And between hate and love
There’s a fine line
How do you balance another’s heart with your own?
The scale is always gonna lean lighter
And I know mine’s heavier than a feather
And I wanna shed some weight but there’s no time
And between hate and love
There’s a fine line
Dancing on a fine line with him
Kneeling down on a fine line to scream
Gotta be careful who I call mine
Cause between hate and love
There’s a fine line
I gotta be gentle when I start to love
I gotta be careful who I call mine
Cause I’m starting to realize I don’t know what I want
And between hate and love
There’s a fine line

She Wants to Destroy You
04:03

Make way for the lioness
If you scream you’ll make her dance
Even if she’s broken down
She still runs this fucking town
Even if she’s broken down
Even if she’s broken down
Let’s drink to the lioness
She still wants your cold sweetness
Have you seen her last hoorah?
Her all consuming splendid flaw
Have you seen her last hoorah?
Have you seen her last hoorah?
Never gets to be alone
Patterns trace her iron home
Do you see her moonshot eyes?
The lioness lives in disguise
Do you see her moonshot eyes?
Do you see her moonshot eyes?
(Destroy you)
She wants to destroy you
Although she once adored you
She wants to destroy you
She can’t and won’t ignore you
Even if she’s broken down

Impostor Syndrome
03:11
|

|
I’m a fraud
I don’t know if anyone’s listening
And where’s my God?
Did I waste my youth praying?
When you’re cross with me
I know that I deserve it
I bear crosses, baby
And kindness never cures it
I’m a fraud
I’m a little child screaming in panties and a bra
Don’t look at me unless you’re gonna see me
Don’t listen unless you’re really listening
If I gut myself and spill onto your feet
Will you respect me?
Do you respect me?
If I gut myself and spill onto your feet
Will you comfort me?
Will you tell me that you love me?
Give me a God
Is she the way I feel
When I see little waves of black birds
In a blue sky
On a pink-clouded day
And I accidentally pray
To love myself the way
Those birds love the sky
Effortlessly
I wanna love myself effortlessly
I’ll expose myself before you expose me
You tell me that you love me
You don’t even really know me
If I gut myself and spill onto your feet
Will you still love me effortlessly?
I wanna love myself effortlessly,
Cause guess what? (What?)
I really know me
I’ll keep my guts to myself
Just don’t tell me that you love me
Effortlessly
