Emotional Masochist

goddamn, did i wake up again?
i forgot i was even alive
maybe things won't be so bad
if this is what it's like to die
and fuck you, you impervious bastards
you told me it would be nice
quite honestly you're the last thing i want
in something like paradise
oh baby oh baby oh baby oh please
i'm not scared of the void
i'm just scared of the things
that may chop my body up
into homemade stew that makes the cops throw up
maybe oh maybe oh maybe one of these
days that i'm here it could happen to me
a gruesome painful horrible death
caused by the lava replacing my breath
your words bring no comfort to me
and what you say brings even worse
i'm a barely thought out nobody
with a plan i've never rehearsed
but millions of hungry saints
will start to rule the day
the text on my computer screen
fills me with dismay
so if you were hanging off a cliff by your own two hands and all you needed was a third to get up
i'd rather cut mine off and watch as you fell down to your death
sometimes i miss you
and sometimes i wanna take it all back
anything i ever said, and everything i ever did
just so maybe things could be like they were
i wish things were okay
and i wish we were close again
but here i am, obligated to say
you know i won't wait to make you a
thought of yesterday
because i'm so sick of being an emotional masochist
and i don't wanna deal with healing wounds like this
i was cut too deep
there was no pleasure at all
this is not an apology
i just wish things could be like they used to be
i'm just plugging up wounds with glue
and i'm not getting better
while i'm still writing dead letters to you
sometimes i resent you
and sometimes i never want you back
but how much of that is systematic
am i mad on my own behalf
is the hurt here more than i would've endured
if i never ran away
but you know i won't wait to make you a
mother fucking thought of yesterday
because i'm so sick of being an emotional masochist
and i don't wanna deal with healing wounds like this
i was cut too deep
there was no pleasure at all
this is not an apology
i just wish things could be like they used to be
i'm just plugging up wounds with glue
and i'm not getting better
while i'm still writing dead letters to you
we'll never speak again for as long as i live
things will never be the same, no matter what i give
i could say anything that i wanted to say
but i don't think that'd you care
and that's fair
because i'm so sick of being an emotional masochist
and i don't wanna deal with healing wounds like this
i was cut too deep
there was no pleasure at all
this is not an apology
i just wish things could be like they used to be
i'm just plugging up wounds with glue
and i'm not getting better
while i'm still writing dead letters to you
i'm overthinking again
again

Oh baby, It's been a long time coming
Oh darling, do you even know what you're doing?
Because you're dressed like a train wreck that's been rotting since 99
And I think about your crusty yellow jacket all the time
When I get to Michigan
I don't want to see your face again
Because I don't need a friend like you around
(You belong under the ground!)
When all your friends have run away
Will you learn your lesson or continue to say
Everyone is wrong except for me?
(for me for me for me uwu)
I'm sorry
I can't remind you to shower
What feels like every hour
Is another day in this living hell serving my time well?
Because you get unreasonably mad when you find out your smash game is bad
Were my mid-mid tiers to much for you?
(Much for you, much for you)
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
When I get to Michigan
I don't want to see your face again
Because I don't need a friend like you around
(You belong under the ground!)
When all your friends have run away
Will you learn your lesson or continue to say
Everyone is wrong except for me?
(for me for me for me uwu)
When I get to Michigan
I don't want to see your face again
Because I just might turn it inside out
When all your friends have run way
Will you run with them for several days?
Because I'm here in Michigan
And you're coming back with me whether you're dead or dead
Yeah!
When I get to Michigan
I don't want to see your face again
Because I don't need a friend like you around
(You belong under the ground!)
When all your friends have run away
Will you learn your lesson or continue to say
Everyone is wrong except for me?
When I get to Michigan
(When I get to Michigan)

The Yib Song

kaden johanson you're my greatest friend
it's been a pleasure knowing you since 09
we'd do things like watch it's always sunny and make records to pass the time
if you weren't so good at tony hawk i wouldn't be who i am today
it sounds strange, but it's the truth. i've always looked up to you
time has passed and now we're 22
and real world problems have come our way
long distance relationships, the way people don't give a shit
high price of living and low wages, yknow
i remember in the december cold i came over to your home
i said i wasn't who i was meant to be
and you said you'd always appreciate me
then we watched videos in your living room
as if everything was normal to you
and i liked how something felt the same
in a world that was ending for me
when i was tripping on the drugs
i called out your name
into the colorful void
inside of my brain
because you're the most familiar thing to me
in my life
and i hope someday you'll be there
when i have to finally die
when i was tripping on the drugs
i screamed out your name
into the colorful void
inside of my brain
because you're the most familiar thing to me
in my life
and i hope someday you'll be there
when i finally get a life
when i was tripping on the drugs
when i was tripping on the drugs
please don't tell my dad
that this song is on the album
I think I told him this story
and he probably wouldn't care
but I'm so insecure
about the choruses
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

Cold and Dead
03:56

take it over
and out of my hands
if i'm steering the ship
we're farther from land
but the cool breeze
we feel on our cheeks
holds a semblence of freedom
and a taste of relief
but i've read the poem
and know how it ends
so i'll steer the ship for now and stay far from the land
the sky is overcast there's no way to see
but i'm safe with you my captain
and you're safe with me
i never had much
didn't leave much behind
when we parted from shore
i never cried
but the others
for their families and wives
when the storm rolled around
they plead for their lives
so come as it may
and try as we might
we lost many that day
and into the night
we look to you our captain, our father at sea
once strong and bold and brazen now blue in the cheeks

Girls Like You

two friends go to a bathroom stall
wiping off the blood from a former brawl
one guy's phone lights up and rings, but his mind is set on other things
he hears a bullet whiz past his head as it smashes into his former friend
one two three, it's a killing spree
he has to fight there's no way to flee
clack clack clack goes the firing gun
the man braces up and starts to run
he can hear the gears in the clock sit still as they both go in for a kill
and he remembers what he told his wife that day
he remembers what he had to say
it's girls like you
always girls like you
that make me want nothing to do
with hospital bills or the expired pills
that i fed to you
that i fed to you
no xsomething
laura walks into a bar
a crt tv tells of a car and a child who had just turned 9
24 hours was too much time
she holds on to her liahona
in the gray and black hoodie that her daughter in law always kept with her
her grin was never pure
clack clack clack goes the firing gun
Laura has just started the fun
so she fires everywhere while the smell of vengeance fills the air
she will never let him escape
not after what he said that day
it's girls like you
always girls like you
that make me want nothing to do
with hospital bills or the expired pills
that i fed to you
that i fed to you
no xsomething
oh >//w//>
oh u//w//u
oh O//W//O

there are guys like you
always guys like you
that make me want nothing to do
with hospital beds or the expired meds
that they'll give to you
that they'll give to you
there are guys like you
there are guys like you
there are guys like you
there are guys like you

go go go i have my son they're on my trail
- i set foot in the dark
go go go take a left past the jail
- wrapped between your arms
go go go this plan may be flawed
- and when we disappear
no no no hit the breaks charlotte, hit the breaks charlotte hit the breaks oh my god
- i'll always feel you near
headfirst into the car charlotte
headfirst into the wheel
this is what you get charlotte
when you listen to the things that were never real
she'll never see him playing in the yard again
and he will never see her crying when they have to take her in
and when the morning comes
you will burn so bright my love
there's no redemption for you here
there's no redemption for you here
they caught you going 80
with a hard crash
straight through the driver's side
and turned your flesh to ash
charlotte charlotte charlotte charlotte charlotte charlotte charlotte
no no no where's my son, where's my boy?
- the crash tore me apart
no no no he's on the road, my pride and joy
- but you'll always have my heart
no no no he can't be dead he can't be gone
- and when it's your time to go
- i will welcome you home
headfirst into the car charlotte
headfirst into the wheel
this is what you get charlotte
when you listen to the things that were never real
she'll never see him playing in the yard again
and he will never see her crying when they have to take her in
and when the morning comes
you will burn so bright my love
there's no redemption for you here
there's no redemption for you here
i trusted you with my life charlotte
now my plan for my son's salvation
has been splattered all over the road
with his baby blue eyes
separated from his adoring smile
you killed him, you killed him
you will burn for all of eternity
as long as you live i will make sure
you are torn apart again and again
and we will both live in a state of unrest
as i watch you die the same way you killed my son
headfirst into the car charlotte
headfirst into the wheel
this is what you get charlotte
when you listen to the things that were never real
she'll never see him playing in the yard again
and he will never see her crying when they have to take her in
and when the morning comes
you will burn so bright my love
there's no redemption for you here
there's no redemption for you here

i've got sentient bones coming out of my skin
mr skull is determined to walk again
it's not halloween but it sure feels that way
because it's dark and scary every day
when we think we're safe
that's when he will attack
he'll force himself through my face
then rip your bones through your back
he'll rip your skeleton straight through your back
because he wants to marry
oh, he's very lonely
he just wants to marry
so he's never lonely
i've got sentient bones coming out of my skin
mr skull is determined to walk again
it's not halloween but it sure feels that way
because it's dark and scary every day
because it's dark and scary every day

i'm glad you forgot me
and i'm glad you'll never remember
i fuck the one you abused
and i woo them better drunk than you did sober
the blood on your hands that you lathered and basked in
from every single time they cut themselves
will never fucking dry
and if i could get my hands on you
i would eat your organs while you were alive
look at me
fucking go!
"look at you
so easily consumed by fear jealousy and hatred
your sick thoughts will poison you and will be your downfall
after all, how could anyone love you?"
"everywhere you look, in everyone you see
everything you do i hope you think of me
everywhere you look, in everyone you see
everything you do i hope you think of me
everywhere you look, in everyone you see
everything you do i hope you think of me
everywhere you look, in everyone you see
everything you do i hope you think of me"
look what they fucking wrote
i should drive their pen into your throat
i'd kill you if i could
i'd kill you if i could
i'd kill you if i could
stay out of their fucking brain

Rat Girl Forever
05:35

you scoured this sewer maze
looking for another one to share your grains
and from the streets above, I was chased to the place below
I was so lost and so afraid
I wandered these halls for so many days
until I found you, my rodent sent from above
your words fall into night
and you erase the harshness of light
and I could sleep forever under those stars
and anywhere you go
you'll always be what I call home
we could be forever
my sewer rat
we've traveled throughout the drains
of Oregon and Idaho looking for a place to go
with your cardboard sword, and bottle cap shield
you'll keep me safe from anything on any battlefield
and when we're tired, we'll return to our box
because we don't need much, when we're all we've got
and I'll sing you to sleep, with what I say
your words fall into night
and you erase the harshness of light
and I could sleep forever under those stars
and anywhere you go
you'll always be what I call home
we can be forever
my sewer rat
lost in translation
i feel a new sensation
i don't want you to go
i don't want you to go
your words fall into night
and you erase the harshness of light
and I could sleep forever under those stars
and anywhere you go
you'll always be what I call home
we could be forever
my sewer rat
your words fall into night
and you erase the harshness of light
and I could sleep forever under those stars
and anywhere you go
you'll always be what I call home
we could be forever
