Sunrising 03:37
I hate the smell of hospitals let's change these dirty sheets I'll drown myself in alcohol and choke my lungs with weed I lost the will to live the day my mother died my father ran away now I have nowhere to hide and it's ripped my chest open for all the world to see they say time will heal it soon but all it's done is open wounds little sister I'll sing you a lullaby don't lose hope when all is hopeless wipe your eyes to see the sunrise over the clouds I hate the way they talk to me I've lost my fucking nerve I swear I've been real good but you never get what you deserve and all this talk of buying headstones is really messing with my head I lay awake at night listening to the ghosts beside my bed I wish that I could talk to you I wish you'd understand I hold my life in pieces it is crumbling from my hands and I read the notes you left to me from before I was born and I clutch my tear stained pillowcase I'm broken I am worn little sister I'll sing you a lullaby don't lose hope when all is hopeless wipe your eyes to see the sunrise

Fading out of focus running at the mouth and lately I've been far away fighting fire with oil stumbling out of the house on Downer with that bitter taste same old familiar smell is bringing me back to where I started I'm so lost I am always overthinking everything and I can never keep my mouth shut about anything that's what my friends think about me I realized the flaws that plague us we're not the people that we thought we were we're just humans we are vessels for the worst intentions liars and cheaters we are all so let's invest in some conversation maybe we can be ourselves again I am always overthinking everything and I can never keep my mouth shut about anything that's what my friends think about me

Bad Faith 04:26
long are the nights spent staring at a ring a symbol of undying love but it died with a whisper, a drink and a smile swift to the bedroom clothes to the floor our memories are left at the door what has he done? caught in a lie with tears in her eyes screaming out why have you done this to me? were their bodies ashamed? I hope it was worth it to feel a new touch I can't stand the pictures they line all the walls of our home your lover is on the phone so run to her darling leave your chains on the floor they rusted apart and set your heart free you were trapped in these walls but the walls were just me so run to your lover run to the sea run through the meadow run without me

when it snows outside we'll wrap ourselves up tight to fight this bitter chill if we close our eyes we'll miss our passing lives a deathbed seems so real I'd spend my life with you but without the means for two I fear I'll fail you love see this midwest winter has got me terrified oh these dark days drive me crazy but I'll be your summer if you be my son and with no money I have only dreams spread under your feet so please tread lightly I'd spend my life with you but without the means for two I fear I'll fail you love see this midwest winter has got me terrified

Sundowning 04:32
I used to think that I was going to heaven Now I'm not so sure I used to think that there's no cure for cancer But these pharmacies are trying to keep us poor This factory is waking me to make money for some old, rich, white man I'll comply I'd work to die to feel your touch upon my blistered hands Sleep here soundly Don't bother to open up your eyes I'm quietly wasting quietly waking the storm inside I used to think that everyone was evil but I think that evil is deep inside of me I tried to save my sorry soul from drowning But ended up being swallowed by the sea I'll sleep all day to keep away the visions of the demons in my head I've lost my sight cried through the night I know now that my sanity is dead Sleep here soundly Don't bother to open up your eyes I'm quietly wasting quietly waking the storm inside You've been gone for days Won't you come back to me? stuck in a haze
