I’m the tree frog, woah oh oh
I’m the shit head, oh no
I’m the scumbag loser, that you don’t want to hang around anymore
I can’t change if I wanted
but you could change, so why don’t you?
I can’t change if I needed
I’m so sorry but at least I try.
All my friends, get real high
I can’t blame them, because at least they try
to be someone else, to be something else
I want to be with Lucy with diamonds in her mind
I can’t change if I wanted
but you could change, so why don’t you?
I can’t change if I needed
I’m so sorry but at least I try.
I can’t change if I wanted
but you could change, so why don’t you?
I can’t change if I needed
I’m so sorry but at least I try.

Bruised Apple

Part time jobs in the summertime
Make me feel like I’m dead inside
Don’t feed me
Don’t feed me
We can meet down by the lake
Take a trip down lover’s lane
Don’t need me
Don’t need me
Everything you do is fine
Sing songs like sweet Cherry Wine
You have ways of inspiring me
To go and lose my mind
You can do what you want to do and
I can do anything too
Like raise my fist up and down on you
Cause the liquor on my breath says it’s alright
It's alright
You can be my go to girl
The one that I say I love
but you know that’s not true
that’s not true
Every time you push me off
I hit you hard in a place where it’s soft
And you know that
You know that
Everything you do is fine
Sing songs like sweet Cherry Wine
You have ways of inspiring me
To go and lose my mind
You can do what you want to do and
I can do anything too
Like raise my fist up and down on you
Cause the liquor on my breath says it’s alright
It's alright
You’re a bruised apple in my hand, take a bite and you’re full of sand
Everyone says that I killed you, but I know that’s not true
They say it’s because of the abuse, but I never laid my hands on you
Cause I loved you in the summertime, and that’s alright
You can do what you want to do and
I can do anything too
Like raise my fist up and down on you
Cause the liquor on my breath says it’s alright
It's alright

Blood On the Table
04:54

When you close your eyes, you’re not even scared.
It’s kinda of like I was never there.
Under the surface, or under your skin.
The truths are at best the place where lies begin.
I don’t want to know you because that’s not the purpose.
You have the questions, oh you have it all.
We want to live in a beautiful world.
Where the guns and the bombs that live in our heart,
Sunken ships like ocean pearls.
We’ll leave all the blood on the table.
Shut up, let there be silence for once.
Shut up, let there be silence for once.
Shut up, let there be silence for once.
Let us be honest for once.
It’s funny how you smile, like you know something I don’t.
So I just laugh because it’s all a joke.
I was ready to love you.
I was ready to care.
But I don’t know you and that makes me scared.
Of when I get angry. Or when I get mad. Or what if I just get too sad?
We want to live in a beautiful world.
Where the guns and the bombs that live in our heart,
Sunken ships like ocean pearls.
We’ll leave all the blood on the table.
Shut up, let there be silence for once.
Shut up, let there be silence for once.
Shut up, let there be silence for once.
Let us be honest for once.
Shut up, let there be silence for once.
Shut up, let there be silence for once.
Shut up, let there be silence for once.
Let us be honest for once.
There’s too much blood on the table.
There’s too much blood on our table.
There’s too much blood on our table.
There’s far too much blood for us to take.

Mouthwash Jesus

I won’t be there to watch you die.
Fuck you! Don’t tell me I don’t mean it.
The pain flows both ways between us.
So just drink yourself to death Mouthwash Jesus.
Of all of your lies, I was your best one.
Of all of your lies, I was your best one.
Save your words for the ones you love
Less they fall upon my deaf ears.
There is beauty in this world, but I don’t see it.
I blame you for everything, but I forgive you.
Take a pen and a piece of paper.
And write down everything you know about me.
I bet that you could write one single line.
“She was the blank space in my mind.”
And if I should live forever, then know that I’m dead inside
if I should live forever, then know that I’m dead inside
Save your words for the ones you love
Less they fall upon my deaf ears.
There is beauty in this world, but I don’t see it.
I blame you for everything, but I forgive you.
I’m so tired of this sound.
Before you ask, I didn’t fake it.
Everything you see here is real.
The blood. The knife. My death.
My head is underwater praying for some Mouthwash Jesus.

Sugar and salt
Underneath the teeth
It’s funny how I didn’t know
You were breaking underneath
This building is totally burning down.
This tunnel in front of me came crashing to the ground.
Elvis depresses me and I….
I need some sleep.
yeah, I need some sleep.
Look over your shoulder
And you’ll see that beast
poking and prodding
He looks like me
This building is totally burning down.
This tunnel in front of me came crashing to the ground.
Elvis depresses me and I….
I need some sleep.
I need some sleep.
I need some sleep.
I need something, Jon please.
This beast is inside of me.
This beast is in sodomy.
This beast is inside of me.
This beast is in sodomy.
This beast is inside of me.
And I can't get him out.
This building is totally burning down.
This tunnel in front of me came crashing to the ground.
Elvis depresses me and I….
I need some sleep.
I need some sleep.
I need some sleep.
I need something

Rinse Rinse Repeat

Washed my face and I wondered, “What changed?”
I woke up today hoping to stay the same.
Shitty day but I think I can make it.
Blind man says he can see me walking wrong direction.
Shitty day but I think I can.
Never thought I could fuck up so bad at school.
Never thought I could just lose my cool.
Shitty day but I think I can make it.
Blind man says he can see me walking wrong direction.
Shitty day but I think I can.
Why am I so mad at you.
Anger poisons me, it never poisons you.
Shitty day but I think I can.
Blind man says he can see me walking wrong direction.
Shitty day but I think I can make it.
I think I can make it.
I think that I can make it!
I just hope that I’m not… breaking
