i'm not proud, i'l find my own way out
of the boiling abyss
and wake every morning in a fever dream
and spending the weekends with my back to the sea
it's bound to be worse before it gets better
but even the weak links can hold us together
living through the end of the world
hard to know which way to go
when tomorrow's all you got left
sleeping in your two-door green compact sedan
spending your last days being chased in by the ocean
we'll have roses for the living and bread for the condemned
build new things together until the sun’s spent
but is it worth the weight of the world?
all i have is all i can spare
i'd take or follow you anywhere
what kind of world are we building to?
when will you let someone love you?
i don't know if we'd make it together
but we could make our days count while we wait out the weather
so if you change your mind just say the word

Mess (2020)

she don’t mind waking up alone
she don’t mind talking to this empty home
quiet keeping her company
while the vultures scream circling drones
she don’t care what the critics say
she don’t care which name goes on her grave
darting eyes never settling
carrying through on her day to day
she says, yeah, I'm a mess but I'm trying my best
to be all that you expect of me
picture-perfect princess broke, broken, and depressed
just pretty enough to pass invisibly
she don’t want her failure to win
she don’t want to give up and to give in
the inescapable momentum
of the black hole where her heart had been
racing home sixteen miles to go
silence cuts through the radio
the sun is chasing her down
she never stops to rest will always second guess
every move every choice every day
on an aimless mission slave to indecision
free to sit and worry her minutes away
but despite all the stress she’s doing her best
but can't fight the raw gravity
so she's scraping her pennies and burning her twenties
so that some day she might be free

every day's a disaster, new sights to behold
my feed's full of horrors about to unfold
but if you're trapped in a moment controlled by fear
it won't be easy but a good day is near
so when the sky goes black
and your eyes turn red
and the spiraling thoughts
fill your crowded head
let it ride, let it break
it'll happen, we'll help it together
the earth is still spinning and dead stars still shine
even mountains can move one rock at a time
so when those d.c. fuckups put a ring in your ears
just know that it won't come easy, but a good day is near
yeah, it won't come easy, but a good day is near
so when the sky goes black
and your eyes turn red
and the spiraling thoughts
fill your crowded head
let it ride, let it break
it'll happen, we'll help it together
so don't think for a second that weak and alone
it takes strength to stand on your own
find the family that will stand up and cheer
it won't be easy but a good day is near
yeah, it took a long time, to say "i'm proud to be queer"
and it won't be easy, but a good day is near
