my jawline cannot compensate for all the things i lack
and i am not convinced that my hamster loves me back
i'm not sure she has feelings, i've been told i have a lot
send out another resume and think another thought
about the friends i haven't made
the bills i haven't paid
i'm too small for the clothes that used to be too small for me
the birds that woke me up at home wake me up in philly
i wanted to change the world but i barely change my bra
my body shrinks with the list of who i can still call
and the lump inside my mouth
the life i left down south
i mean what i meant
you leave before you're left
i leave what i've left
and come back when it's convenient
come back when it's convenient
i mean what i meant
you leave before you're left
i leave what i've left
and come back when it's convenient
come back when it's convenient
come back when it's convenient
the friends i haven't made
the bills i haven't paid
the lump inside my mouth
the life i left down south

SAVE ME, YOU AND I CAN FIND A PLACE IT ALL CAN CHANGE
BREAK ME, PICKING UP THE PIECE OF WHAT IS LEFT OF ME
YOU WANNA TAKE THE FALL
BUT IT’S ME WHO SUPPLIES THE WEIGHT
AND FACE THE FIRE, BELIEVE IN WHAT I SAY, THE WORST IS OVER
AND EVERYTHING, YOU NEED TO LIGHT YOUR WAY, TO FACE THE FIRE AGAIN
OH ERASE, EVERY SINGLE VICTIM LYING IN THE WAY, OF YOUR TRAIN
SO ESCAPE, THE FEELING OF THE HEALING IN YOUR VICTORY
YOU WANNA TAKE THE FALL BUT IT’S ME WHO SUPPLIES THE WAY
AND FACE THE FIRE, BELIEVE IN WHAT I SAY, THE WORST IS OVER
AND EVERYTHING, YOU NEED TO LIGHT YOUR WAY, TO FACE THE FIRE AGAIN

“Going To England”
This isn't how
My dream goes
And I don't care, Oooh
Let me know please
Wait wait maybe don't
Yeah, Oooh
It's in the water
It's in your tangled hair
It's all there, Oooh
And they told me not to tell you not to tell me to believe me
But I don't care at all, Oooh
It's a good time
So get your screaming out
Gotta go, Oooh
You were always
Leaving me behind
I know exactly what I am
It's all good
You'll go to England
And I'll just end up getting lost again
It's such a shame about it
What a wasted ride
Didn't someone say, Oooh
It's all such a long way away
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
It's so solid here
It's all untamed
It's everything you're fucking saying
This tower of mine
Ain't so pretty is it?
Now that the brick is buried under water
You called the cops
And said, "There is no God"
Who called the cops?
Yeah, Oooh

“Little Johnny jump-up, so quick on the defensive.
Every time it comes up, gotta get your two cents in.
An instant deflection.
Cover your ears, never listen.
"He would never do that," you mean he'd never do that TO YOU.
You won't stand here and listen to this "slander"?
Tough shit, kid - your bro's a piece of garbage and we will not be silenced.
He's not the victim, fuck your worthless opinion.
Your bro is garbage so we're taking out the trash.
Your clear self-interest couldn't be more obvious.
The femmes that you call friends are being raped and abused.
Why won't you help us?
We gain nothing by coming forward.
We deserve to tell the truth.
Apologist cowards, thanking your "loyal fans".
Knowingly endangering women.
Knowingly enabling rapists.
'Cause you stand by your man.
We know you won't believe us because you never even fucking try.
Why don't victims come forward?
Look in the mirror, that's why.”
