she said I'm back here again
wanting to cut off my friends
they've become so bad for me
and I can't find anything
or anyone worth my time
my body, my rhymes
I'm not a useless object
I'm just a worthless insect
oh oh oh xSomething
sucking all the blood oh
sucking all the blood so
I'm full, I'm warm
safe from any storm-y
way you come in to
break my bones again
with a huge blunt object
or the words you subject
me to
oh baby, I'm a worthless insect
in any way you could expect
so squish me please so squish me
she said I'm back here again
wanting him as more than friend
but he's just pesticide
and I just can't decide
if I want him, or if I want you
because although you're good to me
that boy is just so pretty
oh, oh oh, oh, oh oh
sucking all the blood I'm
sucking all the blood from
anyone you leave behind
but any time i run
away you contain me
and try to entertain me
by burning off my skin
with a huge piece of glass again
ah shit oh hot fuck
oh baby, I'm a worthless insect
in any way you could expect
so squish me please so squish me
I wish icould say all I wanted was you but
I got caught in every single web along the way
and the spiders, oh god the spiders
they tore me limb from limb and the screams couldn't describe the pain
of losing you out in the rain
next to our tombstone with a heart and both of our names
and all the nights I spend awake, I'll try to get better, for both of our sake
because you just might be gone no matter
how many times i sing this same damn song
she said I'm back here again
she said I'm back here again
she said I'm back here again
she said I'm back here again
just go ahead and leave

there's nothing i can say without
there's nothing i can do about
you
my molly
you've been gone since i was 13
i'd only own that house in my dreams
can't you please come back to me
my molly
you never got to see me leave for high school
you'll never see me wed
but i'll always carry your memory
until i'm dead
if i live past the age of 85
i'll find a way to make you alive
i'd do it all for my molly
there's nothing i can say without
there's nothing i can do about
you
my molly
you've been gone since i was 13
i'd only own that house in my dreams
can't you please come back to me
my molly
it'd be cool for you to meet toast
hazel and ezekiel too
but the spotlight would be all on you
you can do that little yorkie strut
you could be the coolest mutt
you could kick any bad guy's butt
there's nothing i can say without
there's nothing i can do about
you
my molly
you've been gone since i was 13
i'd only own that house in my dreams
can't you please come back to me
my molly
never anything i could do about
never anything i could do about
never anything i could do about
my molly
there's nothing that i could do about
there's nothing that i could do about
my molly
never anything i could do about
never anything i could do about
never anything i could do about
my molly

i don't want your life
you're so petrifying
lost my appetite
when i heard you crying
why is it that through the walls
i hear your kids' skin crawl
as you beat them inside?
i don't want your life
hey, the walls are paper thin you're lucky i don't trust cops
i feel your grin curl up in wrinkles i can't help but
wonder if you're compensating
where did daddy run?
where did daddy run?
is it so paranoid
when through the walls i hear the noise
it's true
and we both know i know
i think i know how low you'll go
forgive if i'm annoyed with you for finding joy destroying youth
well i just hope you know
the things i hope you'll undergo
you think this is a chase
i think you're a disgrace
i'm sure you think i should stay in my place
hey, the walls are paper thin you're lucky i don't trust cops
i feel your grin curl up in wrinkles i can't help but
wonder if you're compensating
where did daddy run?
where did daddy run?

I just want someone to blame
Or to be unearthed by colorful names
I want to shrug off all this cosmic thinking
And be allowed to exist by just looking pretty
I've a got a docile bark and bite
My given spots can't change
But maybe in the next life
Maybe this dismal city's got
Stunted limbs that simply aren't reaching
The flourished forests bearing prideful fruit
But I'll dangle down in hopes that someone picks me too
I've got a docile bark and bite
My given spots can't change
But they're something I will sure try to hide
I'm through with all of this exercise
The repetition won't improve
But maybe in the next life
(I just want someone to blame
I just want someone to blame)
I don't want to worry about
All the decades ahead of me
If I'm throttled straight toward the ground
I need a net for safety
I'll wrap myself up in warm blankets
And grovel about how it's not fair to exist

Buried in the Snow 2

it's christmas eve, and i'm laying in the snow looking straight up wondering where to go
because there was no joy in your dead-pan eyes
and i think of that when i see christmas lights
they're bright at first, then they fade away whenever the seasons start to change
then it's cold, and i'm all alone
still half buried in the snow
the christmas lights on our porch burnt out
and honestly i'm so burnt out of all this christmas cheer
when i've had a fucked up year
oh, i can't get up now
i don't know how
because every snowflake is another harmful vow
that i wish i never took when i fell for that look of an empty painful grin
you filled this holiday with sin
and every burnt out light triggers fight or flight
because you burnt our tree in the night and you only came for the show
i'm still half buried in the snow
still half buried in the snow

we could dance as revenants
underneath the northern lights
on a snowy peak that
we could call home for the night
and in the morning we would cease to exist
but our immortal souls will dirft together through the abyss
please haunt me
i'll haunt you
they can be afraid of us
and we can hold hands then
scream and laugh as they run off
if this is how ghosts live
then you will always have my word
i'm never ever falling out of love
i would crawl
through my grave
just to decompose forever on top of yours
i would take all the ways
i could into an acid bath
just to see you laugh
every time you smile it lifts me up
so high the flames fuck me up
any time you say you want me here
i can feel it melt away my fear
and any time you say you love me
i melt with you too
we were all but reverent
behind that chapel mic
and we put a curse on everything the latter day saints left behind
and we lit the sky with terestrial eyes
and didn't speak a word about our eternal demise
please haunt me
i'll haunt you
they can be afraid of us
and we can hold hands then
scream and laugh as they run off
if this is how ghosts live
then you will always have my word
i'm never ever falling out of love with you
i would crawl
through my grave
just to decompose forever on top of yours
i would take all the ways
i could into an acid bath
just to see you laugh
every time you smile it lifts me up
so high the flames fuck me up
any time you say you want me here
i can feel it melt away my fear
and any time you say you love me
i melt with you too
my heavens above are hell compared to you
the sun shines brightly wherever your heart roams
