Light up my phone Send me love notes I dont want to be alone Show me you care What should i wear Does it even matter Im so desperate for attention i cant take it Dont care what i have to do ill fucking get it Put me in a pose that i dont like and ill fake it I am sweet and smooth like ice cream im your favorite flavor I dont know who you are you might be my neighbor Anonymity is fun to me that makes me crazy I dont wanna be your girlfriend but ill be your baby I want it all dont wanna work that makes me lazy Then he said wont you send some face pix Why you gotta go and kill the thrill of it I was having fun but then you took it too far Listening to you brag about your job and new car He said please can you send some face pix Just one look to get me through the thick of it Maybe im being too shy seems like a nice guy Dont know what to do just look at my phone and get high Im afraid to let things get to real And why shouldnt i be with all the times ive failed I can do easy things like bend over or kneel But never something hard like be honest with how i feel Im sorry to everyone ive loved For being so toxic and fucked up I promise to be better I fucking promise to be better [chrous]

Why do people always act so shocked when they see me What’s the fucking problem you ain’t never seen a tranny I wish i was at home in bed sleeping in my jammies Instead of serving coffee to rich fucks driving teslas and ferraris Why do some people call me sir on purpose Why they want to go and try and make me feel so worthless Some jesus freaks came in the other day and called me evil I just walked away my boss told me I need to work on my skills with people I will never be the perfect daughter I will never be the perfect wife The best thing I have been is a liar I’m reminded of that all the time If complaining were a sport I’d have won the gold medal The greatest of all time at taking things to personal Always been nostalgic and way too sentimental I’m the fucking shit at making choices that are regretable I’d be in the hall of fame for the sport of fucking up Everytime I go to bat I can only bunt Sometimes I feel like a giant and sometimes like a runt And everytime I see myself I want to puke my guts fuck I will never be the perfect daughter I will never be the perfect wife The best thing I have been is a liar I’m reminded of that all the time I know I will never be a mother Feels like I fucked up my whole life I am the saint of missed opportunities Feels like I’ve blown my last try

i am a rat my bed is like a sticky trap i can't relax although it's not like im doing anything anyway, anytime, every day is such a pain i just stare at a screen and hate the shit i make well in life i guess i'm just a masochist get a thrill of taking things and making a mess of them i can't stop punching myself in the face turning black and blue sometimes it feels like this is what i was programmed to do self destruction is the only language i can speak put some makeup on to cover up the bruises on my cheeks im crying in the bathroom the mirror is laughing at me my tights tore open my face feels broken my life feels broken (chorus)

I am your burden I’m the reason your hurting Feel like I’ve got you trapped Under spell of my witchcraft I am your ball and chain The reason for all your pain I know I am not the person You thought you were marrying Our living room is a graveyard There is a hole in the side of the wall it’s abyss is engulfing the house It is a shrine dedicated to the night of our relationships fallout That night still lingers with me You drove your foot straight into the wall after you screamed that you hated me We both agreed it was fueled by alcohol we swore we quit drinking But I’m fucking drunk while I write this Feels like each day you love me less and less and less and less I can’t blame you our life is a messy mess mess Trash is piling up but I don’t give a fuck Each day is a step closer to giving up up up But I don’t want to be alone And I don’t think you delight at the idea of that I know you’ll move on You were always the stronger one We are living with a ghost Or a parasite we’re the hosts We are poisoned with no antidote Turning into something we both loathe

The ghost of the girl next door is haunting me Can hear her all the time even in my sleep I can feel her presence seeping in Depleting my body of oxygen Maybe some people are just doomed from the start People are machines some have broken or missing parts Born to a mother who had no plans for keeping her Adopted by some couple who had no right in raising her Her parents enrolled her in catholic school Made her train for competitive dance in a basement studio Knocked up at 16 by a neighborhood boy home from college Kicked out of dance and school had an early marriage I’m reminded of her at the weirdest times Mid 00’s scary movies make me want to cry Watched them together every Friday junior year I can see her stare I can see her stare I know she loved being a mother But I can’t imagine how hard it is to be robbed of Your late childhood, being stuck with something you don’t love Screaming fights most nights baby crying pink wine At her funeral only childhood pics were on the screen Like she had died back when she was 16 Her mom looked like the happiest mourner I’d ever seen That smile still haunts my dreams [chorus] x2
