Make it easy on yourself cuz breaking up is hard to do
The rainy days and Mondays too but breaking up is hard to do
Said you'd come on back your way but breaking up is hard to do
What you get for playing fool well breaking up is hard to do
Find a place to hide away cuz breaking up is hard to do
Walk on by don't be a fool breaking up is hard to do
Run and find the ones who love you breaking up is hard to do
Let me be the one to tell you breaking up is hard to doooooOOO00000!!!!!5///)$&@@

Cat hair in my coffee and a fruit fly in my wine
It's nothing I believe in but I'll use it for a time
And all I know is it is easier to set yourself on fire than make a rhyme
Brother’s in the oval singing praises to the sun
Even when it's heavy he still makes it seem like fun
And there's no torture in the art of cooking bodies for the fellowship of sons
I'm blinded by the smell of bourbon skin
What comes out reflects that which is in
Adam’s in the garden charming snakes with apple seeds
The simplest way to pull the wool is satisfy her needs
And we all learned the fear of God and beast but boys still get to live under the tree YEAH¿
Every note I write's a borrowed line
Guess it has to happen all the time
Is that why we drink so much
When we’re all cold and tired?
Light another stick and
Put your fingers in the fire
Is that why we talk so much?
Not eating for a while
In comfy beds with devils at our side
Puppy pulls a disk out of my liquor weakened spine
He says it is an accident but now he's got my time!!
So I can learn to fuck a beat but I can't drop all of the juice I've self prescribed. Y EA HGHHH
I will drink until I'm good and dead
I will sleep when I am dead
Is that why we drink so much
When we’re all cold and tired?
Light another stick and
Put your fingers in the fire
Is that why we talk so much?
Not eating for a while
In comfy beds with devils at our side
Is that why we drink so much?
We always find an excuse.

Is it easier to understand the anger of a mom
When her kid or partner’s blood is used to water public lawns?
Would the nationwide yelled battle cries begin to ring more true
If their fate could just as easily become you?
Now the separation of a sex or color can decide
That the brightest young white minds should be identity blind
If you strip a house of paint does it deserve to be set fire
Carried off in a tornado, drowned in mudslide?
How do we release all the subjugated ones, is it really so hard to see through eyes of empathy? The fight is always on the hands more hopeful.
When you understand the inherit motives within a culture that color coats evil to sell a line or make a dime, the jokes thrown back on you
When we start to cut the freedom of our poor into our wrists
When our red and white flow separately underneath our skin
When we start to fight instead of writing meaningless ass songs
Will we understand we can't just get Along??
How do you recover the segregated ones, is it really so hard to see through eyes of empathy? The joke is always on the hearts more hopeful.
A justice long delayed is a justice that's denied through a system inventing class-based crimes to punish life
But who's to blame, the light shines bright onto you
In hopes that dry hearts can suck up enough compassion to give a fuck for a sec
It's easy to hide underneath the covers of lighter colored safety
But dont please
There are friends in need
How do you discover the empathetic ones, is it really that hard to see through eyes of prejudice? The joke is always on the hearts more hopeful.
The lives that matter most are the ones you kill for sport, it's Americas new/old favorite pastime, grab a seat, get comfortable, the shows just starting nowWWW

Embarrassing Chemicals
15:02

Sneaking around like I care if I'm caught, run like I stole everything that I bought
I'm sick, always sicK
Praying that God puts a hole in my tongue to make up for sins and the rights I've made wrong
How sad, always sad, it's just sad, always sad
Laugh till I cry and I eat till I puke, or go 80 hours with nothing but juice, it's cute
Always SIKC
Lyin on the floor like I'm only in dreams, swim through the Rivers and hope to find self esteem
It's so sad, it's all I have, all I have...
🎵I don't know just when it started
I don't know why I keep trying or why I believe my therapist
Jesus told me I was covered
But embarrassing chemicals don't seem to be her top priority
Why would they be???
Taking shots to go to sleep and coffee mugs to get back up
Cigarettes to cut the edge and mushrooms to remind me what I love
Oh my god I'm in a fantasy until I sleep, dreams tell all the secrets that my muddy soul is tryna keep
Beware of dog he'll kiss you places you forget exist
Sam is in the kitchen, cooks to catch me up on what I missed
When he sets the table and the scene for what we can expect it's dizzying displays of love and care from one who understands
Strolling around like I don't give a fuck!!!!!!
Run to the trouble and hell that I wrought, it's sad, always SAD
Wait for the hole in my tongue from the lord
Pray till my sins and my fears are restored
It's so silly, always sad ITSSSOSADALWAYSSAAD
Have I finally found a peace within myself?
Have I finally found a place where I can live with this?
I've felt it all along that I can be at ease
I've always known what I think I believe
My mother and my father
And the people that I trust the most
Think the things that they say matter
That they make a difference in the end
Can I escape routines that I've been in if I change the script and scene again?
Or is the ending always gonna be the same damn thing
Oh I don't know-;($&&”
Never thought it would feel good
to make happy life with food
Eating consequence and feeling till my thighs tell me I'm full@
Sitting cross legged in the air
Pretend I don't even care
Till reality and hopes taste like the same burnt breath of air
Everything turns out so nicely in the summertime 🥰 (sometimes not)
I don't know why shit is harder than it was when I was 21
Now I'm the only one
All out protest of chemistry set
Like beakers and burners, not organs and bones
I cannot help but shut eyes and wonder what we'd discover if we'd remember
Sun covered body on tick covered mound
Tree is my mother, ant is my sister
Playing in concert to sing me the sound
The whole world is spinning to keep me on ground

If you wanna be with me
I can make your dreams come true
I'm a crazy person baby
Don't you know it's all for you?
The last time I took my medication
Roads turned rivers, mouths of bridges swallowed half alive
Sarah saved me from the swine
Hoof clawed my mouth to bits
Lost in a forest please let's go to bed
If you wanna be with me
Baby there's a price to pay
You'll regret another minute if you let me get my way
All attempts to scrub the mud out my soul sent it packing
To another blacker place to hide
Residence now undefined lack of desire for communion with another human light
If you wanna be with me
I can make your dreams come true
I'm a crazy person baby
Don't you know it's all for you?

I never thought I'd be the last one of my silly friends to grow up
Dunno if it's a matter of right or wrong, I just needed you
Searching for nothing walking across state and city lines
Found it stuck in a glass of tequila water and lime
Am I wrong for that?
I never thought I'd be the last one of my silly friends to grow up
Every time we compared our notes I thought that I was way ahead?!)
All of them power walking by me behind baby strollers
I'm behind freezers holding cold milk in my hands
Am I wrong for that?
And every roller coaster I come by I take a ride
And every shiny heads up penny fuels another fire
I trim a branch for every root that grows in fertile ground
Another lash falls from an eye
I never thought I'd be the last one of my fucking friends to own up
To all the shit that kept us in a holding pattern for so long
All of us waving on each other's tells and warning signs
Waiting for nothing thinking change just happens from inside!!!!!!(?)
Am I wrong for that?
And every roller coaster I come by I take a ride
And every shiny heads up penny fuels another fire
I trim a branch for every root that grows in fertile ground
Another lash falls from an eye
And all the forest fires that ignite in city lines
Would take a mudslide to remind me that the grounds alive
Another twister puts another house up in a tree
Another drop falls from the sky

Cutting up lines to make the brain pick a side its the natural demise of the heart and the body
Ringing alarms inside the legs and the arms newest addition to parts being lopped off for charity
Woman or man the middle is what it can be in a time when your color's as dangerous as anything
Comfort is found in liquor liters and mountains of cigarette butts littering the front porch
It's alright, not easy
It's alright, don't hurt yourself
It's alright, not simple
It's alright, you'll figure out
Seasons will change and the body deteriorates with some hate and increased instability
Glacial waves they erode and the chest it gives way spilling rivers of blood and hostility
But I got the keys to the house on the hill where the devil can't find me, try as he will
My friends and my demons they fall on their swords or they fight for the rights to my minds open doors
It's alright, not easy
It's alright, don't hurt yourself
It's alright, not simple
But it's alright, you'll figure it out
That in this town you gotta be fit baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Driving on an interstate, I don’t know the number, name, cardinal direction or final destination
See a boy on roller skates, think about the time it takes to get wherev you’re going at leg-powered pace
Stop to ask a public place how they hope to win a race - slow and steady, fast and heavy, brownie points or protein shakes
Anyway it takes is the general consensus until a voice is heard high above the rest
All them witches blow your bridges
I knew everyone was laughing at ussssssss until everybody started catching up to us
We are all the same but go by many different names, none of which is sinner, bigot, fag or slut ~ mkay?
All them witches blow your bridges
If you drink up the ocean you’ll piss out a sea!!
And all of them witches took all the things that made you easy on yourself!!!
You ate from the tree!!!
Acquired the knowledge!!!!
And questions like “If the earth falls in the sun, will the moon have space for us??? Is anything real????”
I doubt it.
All them witches blow your bridges
And we’re still stuck at exit 32

The first thing I noticed was my wrist
The bone that protrudes softening around flesh I didn't recognize
A joint that I use constantly
Flexing with every movement suddenly looked different
Bags under my hollow eyes wonder why my body began to betray me
The separation between thighs and taught skin on my chest breathe heavy and wince with every sigh
At 20 I'd already seen that what's wrong in the world is much bigger than me
But that doesn't stop us from treating ourselves the one way we know how
With taught fingers, furrowed brow
Dangling a string down our throat, teasing reflexes we were taught to ignore
At 21 I learned to lie
And how to cover all my bases when forced to confront myself
The mysterious weakness of my face grew more apparent every day
In that old familiar way I thought could only happen to others
To walk and not grow tired
To drink and not get hungry
To work and not be trampled by the expectations of me
To knock and turn a handle
To ask and find the answer
To eat and feel the benefits of life and not the cancer
To walk and not get hungry
To drink and not get hungry
To work and not get hungry :)

If you think that this is progress, you're the last to know
When your language loses flavor, hemorrhage starts to show
When the body's dried for hours on sweating August road
Blue will take the fear defense
Black blood under white robes
Lets assassinate the country, cut dirt from the grout
Bleach the asshole of the nation, licking crimsy pout
Finish whitewashing our signals leaving us no doubt
Poison in the water main or faces cracked in drought
When you own up to the slaughter of a million sons
When you stop telling the daughters they're not pretty ones
When you feel rejected cuz you dropped the wool that spun
Fear and blame society for those under the same sun
Violent opposition to those sittin in the throne
Born and bred to rip out teeth not platinum spoon alone
Dance or die in streets, state houses, in your daddy's home
Peace will come when justice comes, act like you didn't know
The laws of God and Government, consumed and taught as heaven sent
Are darkening the darker streets and sniffing for more blood to drink
So generations have to die to honor different shades of life??
We'll give the guns to animals and pray for peace for good and all
okay

Tell yourself I love you when you wake every day
Cuz I won't get to see you grow and disintegrate
I live inside a tree without a leaf for a rake
Your house a purple castle built on 10,000 lakes
Wait a couple days before you waste any prayers
And sing a song to tell me you won't go anywhere
The April snow falls harder than it did yesterday
We'll try to find the balance of release and decay ugggggggh
