kind and quiet accommodations
a new narrow life of assimilation
dreaming of the person you thought you could be
conquered fear of death but terrified of living
how femme should i look how much makeup to wear
to get through the day without sneering and stares
i just want a life i don't have to fight for
there's enough beauty love light and good in this world
to stick around
they can keep screaming and shame me but i'll keep my name
til they put me in the ground
making up my mind to feel more alive
slam shut every of uncertain design
laughing in confusion at the deathly absurd
and refusing to plan for the end of the world
cycle back and forth the eternal return
gives meaning to every last lesson you learn
the provident gravity of impermanence
there's enough beauty love light and good in this world
to stick around
visions of heaven and hellfire keeping my feet
tethered to the ground
now i take each moment in slices of time
cause reaching your peak is when you start to die
scattered across the expanse, you can never let go
there's enough beauty love light and good in this world
to stick around
the waves of anxious overwhelming dread remind me
i'm on solid ground
there's enough beauty love light and good in this world
to stick around
they can hate me and kill me but i'll keep my name
til they put me in the ground

By Now

compare everything i see
To the one I want to be
the same reflection every day
The weightless longing for a brief reprieve
but I’m older now, been this way a while
thought I'd do it all on my own by now
let the evening settle in
shadows cascade across her skin
Easy and uncomplicated
lifting my levels just to feel again
but I’m older now, it's getting darker out
thought I'd have it all on my own by now
that i should get it all on my own by now
i've searched for long time
for anything steady to hold
my best years escape me
my worst fears they make me
a breakdown in slow mo
last night i woke up in a sweat
dreaming about a broken neck
spectres towering above my bed
adorned in each of my regrets
but i'm older now, a recovering golden child
and I'd have it all on my own by now
yeah I'd do it all on my own by now
that I could do it all on my own by now

Just Enough

the last one here alive
burning candles, shadow frontier
first kiss with a death wish
singing everything i want to hear
i was timid at the start
you were born to play the part
limbs tangled, entwined
exposing every mystery
your sweat on my back
lifting the shame from my body
you were trouble from the start
every sharp word leaves a mark
and when i'm not sober
i'll beg you to come over
and if you're not staying
i'll follow, i'll go anywhere you want
just enough, just enough
we were toxic from the start
twisting needles in the dark
but if if gets colder
just text me i'll run over
and if i'm not singing
i'll show you, i'll be anyone you want
just enough, just enough
