Bones

I think I figured out how to hold myself
Hold myself back
Don't overdo it again
My friends don't know I don't have any skin
My bones float around, I can't hold them in
All we need to do is stay in touch
All we need to do is fall in line
All we need to do is stay in touch
All we need to do is fall in line
Fall in line, fall in line
Fall in line
The people who gave me my bones
There's no way that they would have known
How we would give up hope
How we would end up alone
The silence of my childhood sitting shaking on the rug
As my father gathered all of us and petrified our love
My friends don't know I don't have any skin
My bones float around, I can't hold them in
All we need to do is stay in touch
All we need to do is fall in line
All we need to do is stay in touch
All we need to do is fall in line
Fall in line
The silence of my childhood sitting shaking on the rug
As my father gathered all of us and petrified our love

Grocery shop 'til our cabinet's full
Maxing out our cards 'til we don't sleep anymore
Let's tell all our friends that they're not our friends
It's not us it's them
Grocery shop 'til our cabinet's full
Maxing out our cards 'til we don't sleep anymore
Let's tell all our friends that they're not our friends
It's not us it's them
Oh, I don't think I'm gonna like it here
The place in my mind where I think something weird
The logical collages of the shit I fear
I'm not gonna like it
Go tell me I'm alone and I will disappear
Tantrums of abandonment in every year
When I get to thinking I may like it after all
I'm not gonna like it
Grocery shop 'til our cabinet's full
Maxing out our cards 'til we don't sleep anymore
Let's tell all our friends that they're not our friends
It's not us it's them
Grocery shop 'til our cabinet's full
Maxing out our cards 'til we don't sleep anymore
Let's tell all our friends that they're not our friends
It's not us it's them
Hey, I pray towards what I'm grateful for every day
Light some candles up and put 'em on display
Just in case I forget (I'm not gonna like it)
I wanna visit Hawaii, I just need to find the money
Grocery shop 'til our cabinet's full
Maxing out our cards 'til we don't sleep anymore
Let's tell all our friends that they're not our friends
It's not us it's them
Grocery shop 'til our cabinet's full
Maxing out our cards 'til we don't sleep anymore
Let's tell all our friends that they're not our friends
It's not us it's them

Sweet Thing

If I tell you I got it all wrong for years, oh no
If I tell you I've been here all along
Go ahead, call me out, go ahead, call me out sweet thing
Call me out
Sweet thing
Call me out
Sweet thing
Call me out
Sweet thing
Call me out
If I tell you I don't know where I am, can we take directions
Can we figure it out from where we stand, sweet thing
Call me out
Sweet thing
Call me out
Sweet thing
Call me out
Sweet thing
Call me out
Oh I don't know
Oh I'm not thinking
Oh this is how I feel
If you tell me I can leave it all behind
You saw it too, I wasn't wrong, and I have been strong
What do you want
What do you want
What do you want
Just tell me what do you want
This time this time just tell me
What do you want
This time just tell me
Sweet thing
Call me out
Sweet thing
Call me out
Sweet thing
Call me out
Sweet thing
Call me out

What Not to Do
02:33

Why don't you act on what you feel inside?
Why ain't you telling the truth
Taking your mother and your friends for a ride
I think you like the abuse
Are you some kind of masochist?
I'm trying not to victim blame but you're falling off your axis
Depression is a shade of one type of color
If you're painting with it you don't see any other
The God that exists around the flies in my mouth
Is never aware of its faults
But if the Gordian knot in my mentality slips
I bet it's a problem I caused
Cuz I'm some kinda masochist
Depending on my terrible memory to get me acting pissed
I should probably learn to stick up for myself
But it seems my mind is always stalling or somewhere else
Depression is a shade of one type of color
If you're painting with it you don't see any other

We used to share the waves of shame
Perennial and in our name
All these mornings and phone calls and drives through the night
And I swear it's your honesty that kept me alive
We used to share the weight the pain
We used to have so much fake pride
Nothing more to tend to than the earth we work
Nothing more to follow save the tide
The evening slipped away unnoticed
And your soul made its exit with the light
Saying you go to the rest of this without me
No offense meant, you will be alright
You will be alright
My darling there is no offense taken
And I've recognized your ghost among my demons
But I do struggle to wake up
Faking everything
Cursing everything in sight that isn't you
My darling what did you do
What did you do
What did you do
