the smell of myself is making me choke this is the fourth day straight that ive woke up soaked its rediculas my body cant keep up but between me and my appetite i know i cannot will not stop, oh paranoia where have you been? its been so so long since youve been comforting me, like the visions in my head they are still helping me see, like the rocks in my hand theyre still setting me free... cuz when im up, im out and gone it feels like im almost alive, when im im dowm, im so far down from bluring the wrong and the right but i know every morning theres always gunna be another night... what terrifies me is the pace that we walk and that we do not believe that this excess cannot will not take a toll, is everyone leaving me or am i being demanding again? i just dont wanna be left alone when folds right up, cuz when im up, im out and gone it feels like im almost alive, when im im dowm, im so far down from bluring the wrong and the right but i know every morning theres always gunna be another high... i am willing (i want to, i need to) to change but it may take a long long time.

bully 02:55
narcissist charity case who are you bullying today? you can highlight ever problem with zero intent to solve them you have a type you like to upset prey on the weak you gotta feed that ego you dont want the world to change you just want your name up in lights a fine line between being helpful and starting pointless fire all the logic you choose to ignore no matter the size of the fight you'll never let it go if you have turned your last name into a verb maybe youve been thinking to much about yourself if you have turned your last name into a verb maybe youve been thinking to much about yourself.

ice cream 02:57
i am a child sent to bed with out ice cream im always ready to make a scene i need certain things in particular order cuz ive got one of those thinking disorders we sit and dream about what we'll do with our days off but when they come round we just cry sick and cough i am the sitcom rerun on your tv im only on your mind when you look at the screen you could remark that this failing to appear deep or just turn it off and go back to sleep we fantisize about the things we dont even want hide in the smoke of us pretend were not lost

i didnt realise how lonely i was or how much i craved affection like a dog dragging its tail i thought that i liked the attention i dont plz stop looking at me close your eyes and hold me thats the only time i am beautiful when my mouth is shut and you cant see me just give me total freedom from all addiction is that too much to ask is that an impossible task i simply just cannot remember the last time i had eight full hours of sleep was it when i was with you was it when you wanted to be with me?

things stay down get buried in blue cover passion closed shut before youre through cover in multi layers nothing is true none of it really matters when im frequenting you, all anyone ever wants is just someone to talk to still coming down a unit breaking in two what was soft is now a greyish hue time can distort action so nothing is true but none of that really matters when im frequenting you... all anyone ever wants is just someone to talk to

theres a lump in my throat plagues me constantly cough and clear daily im still working ouyt where im supposed to fit outside of this binary yeah im not working on who im ment to be but im getting better at disappearing i feel paralysed at the thought of slipping through and that youll leave me in disgust ive been passing for way to long now i throw in the towel i dont know how to change but i dont know if i can stay this way.. ive been passing for way to long wether its through the door or in through the roof i enter and exit with caution ill be moving on with my life attempting to grow up and out of this hot mess you keep singing your misery melody are convinced that its doing anything? ill be moving on with my life attempting to grow up and out of this hot mess....

taking care 02:04
you live your life with the opposite of division then wonder why its getting cold? sitting on your hands waiting for change concrete ideas start to gather mould awful things happen pretty regularly but what are we going to do about it? you said lets weaponise the farmers but its not that simple you want to make a change for the masses can you do it without the violence...? awful things happen pretty regularly but what are we going to do about it? what are we going to do about it? what am i going to do about this?

LIFE IS POINTLESS, GIVE UP. ONLY THEN WILL YOU TRULY BE FREE.

about

THIS IS AN ALBUM ABOUT MY STRUGGLE WITH DRUG ADDICTION AND BINGING, AND THE PROCESS OF GETTING HELP, GETTING SOBER AND STARTING MY GENDER TRANSITION. ITS ABOUT THE SEVERE LONELINESS THAT COMES WITH IGNORING YOUR REAL SELF, THE GUILT THAT COMES WITH SELF MEDICATION, THE SHAME THAT COMES WITH REGRET. MOST IMPORTANTLY THIS ALBUM IS ABOUT THE FREEDOM THAT COMES WITH PATIENCE, TIME AND PERSEVERANCE.

ALSO I TOTALLY LOVED 'GIVE UP' BY THE POSTAL SERVICE, 'DIGITAL ASH IN A DIGITAL URN' BY BRIGHT EYES, AND 'HEADPHONES' BY HEADPHONES. AS WUSSY LOST TEEN THOSE ALBUMS WERE FORMATIVE. THOSE ALBUMS REALLY HELPED ME. THIS IS MY TRIBUTE TO THOSE ALBUMS.
