lyrics

I finally sent that angry email
And I journaled for an hour
I put strange expensive lotions
On my scalp while in the shower
I ate a smoothie made of powders
That are said to help your skin
I ate a crystal too
At some point it fell in

I reconnected with the earth
And I made friends with all the vermin
I gave names to all the shapes and ways
That I felt I was hurting
I’ve been nursing every injury
And cleaning every wound
I lit a candle
I almost burned down my room

And I’ll hum a mourning song
For all the holes that I have glued
It sound like taps
Mixed with the B-52s

I read a book about addiction
I just couldn’t put it down
Then I relaxed all of the tension
I was carrying around
I became the type of bitch
Who went to yoga by the pond
It only gets worse
I’m a downward facing dog

I did my tight five for my therapist
I don’t think that it landed
Cause the diatribes and dogmas
Just got much more heavy handed
And I handed myself over
To the wellness guru gods
But I remained myself
In different font

And I’ll hum a mourning song
For the toxic people I’ve replaced
It sounds like Yung Gravy
Mixed with amazing grace

Sing your love songs to the self love
Of which you’ve always been worthy
To your massive fucking audience
Of thirty under thirty
I feel dirty, I feel evil
I’m a vessel to hold shame
Your aura’s turquoise!
Mine’s an oven!

Let’s get baked!
(guitar solo with someone in the background being like I’m TELLING you dude it’s got medicinal properties)

And I’ll hum a mourning song
For the rules I’ll never get
Ave Maria
As performed by BTS
