Chaser

I’m bittersweet, you wouldn’t know
Sometimes the bitter is too much to take
I’ll get therapy if I come back home
And I’ll let you be the chaser if you like the taste
I’ll get a Diet Coke and hope my hunger stops
Cause my mind is screaming calories will kill me off
And every day I’m proving myself wrong
Just sit here next to me that’s all I really want
And that night I was down
And I tried to get drunk in the schoolyard playground
And I didn’t feel a thing
My mother said it’s not what good girls do
You let him text you first let him make the moves
But I’ve been evil since I looked at you
I could be chaser if you want me to

Vegetable Peeler

Who told you you could hang around
And lift my heart off of the ground
I'm pretty sure it's not allowed
Who told you you could hang around?
'Cause you saw past my eyeshadow, saw through my concealer
You tore up my heart with just a vegetable peeler
And I don't know who I am
What I want
What I'm doing in two hours
if you're just leading me on
I don't know who I am
What I'm going to do
But I think I'd do it better with you
I thought you'd think that I was crazy
Just a bit too much for you
But it seems for every quirk I have
You've got another two
I cannot dance
You talk too loud
Who told you you could hang around?
But you saw past my eyeshadow, saw under my blush
You're moving so slowly but you give me a rush
I think you're messing with the air
I think it's thinner when you're there
Because my breathing starts to change
Who told you you could play this game?
'Cause you saw past my eyeshadow saw through my concealer
You tore up my heart with just a vegetable peeler

The MIddle

I can't move, I can't struggle like I thought I could
You moved on and got better like I knew you would
But if anyone needs anyone, well I'm anyone
I just don't want to sit here all alone
Sunsets, vignettes, I'll get over it
I guess I'm more caught up than I'd like to admit
But I'm still thankful for the come and go
Even if you rise as I stay below
I live deep in the middle where no one goes
And I can't hold on but I won't let go
You'll find me in the middle if you wanted to
But I'll stay out of the middle if I were you
Car doors, hard floors, twisted kaleidoscope
I made a game of judgement and a pact with hope
So if anyone needs anyone, well I'm anyone
I don't even want to know if I'm still in love
I live deep in the middle where no one goes
And I can't hold on but I won't let go
You'll find me in the middle if you wanted to
But I'll stay out of the middle if I were you
My head is imploding, my judgement a mess
And I don't want to hear it I don't want to hear
I don't want the pain, I don't want to forget
And I don't want to
I don't want to
I live deep in the middle where no one goes
And I can't hold on but I won't let go
You'll find me in the middle if you wanted to
But I'll stay out of the middle, out of the middle if I were you

Pandemic Panic
02:38
|

Shoving an entire isle of toilet paper into my shopping cart
Raiding the shelves taking every canned good at Wallmart
Pushing everyone out of my way
Clean up on isle four
This is pandemic panic
And I don't care
If at-risk groups
Have no food
If I die, I'm taking everybody with me
'Cause there's no social distancing in hell
And I don't know
What I can do
About the hole inside of me
When I watch the news
Except fill it up with gallons of Purell
'Cause this is pandemic panic
Shoving wet wipes into every pocket
Pouring hand sanitizer directly into my eye socket
And smiling through the pain
This is nuclear war
This is pandemic panic
And I don't care
If at-risk groups
Have no food
If I die, I'm taking everybody with me
'Cause there's no social distancing in hell
And I don't know
What I can do
About the hole inside of me
When I watch the news
Except fill it up with gallons of Purell
'Cause this is pandemic panic
What happened to sanity
What happened to plans
How do I make peace with this
If I can't even shake its hand
And I don't care
If at-risk groups
Have no food
If I die, I'm taking everybody with me
'Cause there's no social distancing in hell
And I don't know
What I can do
About the hole inside of me
When I watch the news
Except fill it up with gallons of Purell
'Cause this is pandemic panic

Hey Girl

Hey girl
I know he left you there alone
And you didn’t look both ways
When you walked yourself back home
Hey girl
Don’t you call him on the phone
Realize he’s left you nothing
And then leave him on his own
Hey girl
Sure there’s nothing in your chest
Humming something to yourself
And you can improvise the rest
Hey girl
Diamonds running in your tears
You can meet me in the morning
When the rules are crystal clear
He’s a dashing dancer
And his methods are a cancer
Don’t you try to solve his problems
He ain’t looking for an answer
If you really care about him
And for some reason you do
Then get him to a therapist
needs her more than you
Oh my dear Virginia
He don’t love you for your words
You’re a lovely little flower
And your something that he’s earned
Hey girl
Let’s be real don’t play pretend
If you cry over a republican
We’ll never speak again
He’s a dashing dancer
And his methods are a cancer
Don’t you try to solve his problems
He ain’t looking for an answer
If you really care about him
And for some reason you do
Then get him to a therapist
needs her more than you
Hey girl
Don't you treat this as a loss
Right now he's vaping in a bathroom
So you're probably better off

The Half of It
02:52

I know that I'm a mess and you can tell
And there's a million different things that I will do, but won't do well
I know my hands are rugged and not delicate to the touch
You say I apologize too much
You don't know the half of it
There's things I'd never let you in on
They're not my secrets to tell
When you ask if I'm ok
Inside a part of me breaks
I don't think you'd take the truth well
I don't think you'd take the truth well
Do you think you'd ever change your mind?
I know you're the damaged, try-to-fix-me, type of guy
I don't think I'd be that helpful if I tried
But you push me away and don't say why
But then
I don't know the half of it
There's things you'd never let me in on
They're not your secrets to tell
When you ask if I'm ok
Inside a part of me breaks
I don't think you'd take the truth well
I don't think you'd take the truth well
My ghosts never leave my side
Sometimes I swear you see them in my smile
You were never all that kind
But you were kind of intimidating
I mistook the nervous waiting for something else
And you can tell, and you can tell
That you're still on my mind
I won't apologize this time
You don't know the half of it
There's things I'd never let you in on
They're not my secrets to tell
When you ask if I'm ok
Inside a part of me breaks
I don't think you'd take the truth well
I don't think you'd take the truth well
