now the whole world is grinding to a stop
I think it's still spinning but I can't quite tell
I can only see the ground
and the flowers that are lying there
it's been a long time coming
we've spent a long time on our knees
now we can stop pretending
now we can stop pretending
now my days are aimless
it reminds me of the summertime in second grade
when I counted the hours
with hands held in fists out in front of me
well my ways were old school
and my mom says it feels like the 70s
when families washed their cars with soap
smoking in the summer haze

timothée

they were the first twink in my life
two years older than me in high school
I know they didn't know my name
but when they played their fucking saxophone
I think I lost my brain
they left for university
up in north Philly
looking so pretty
with their black lipstick on
cigarette between their tongue
hair pulled back into a bun
pouting polaroids and beatnik boys
my god that looks like fun
timothée you can get away with anything
with a face like that
oh boy you can get away with anything that you want to
anything that you want to
and now the world has fallen for you new hairdo
why can't us girls pull off a middle part like you?
I guess we don't have facial symmetry the way you do
now your career is taking off
you found a girl but you're queer enough
that the DJs up in Bushwick think you're hot stuff
timothée you can get away with anything
with a face like that
oh boy you can get away with anything, anything
timothée you can get away with anything
with a face like that
oh boy you can get away with anything that you want to
anything that you want to
anything that you want to

full moon in pisces
and my venus is in pisces
so let's find something sweet to do
in that cherry red jeep
my shrink let me know
that I smile every time she asks about you
cuz you were hiding sight from me
you were hiding in plain sight from me

the world amuses me
01:51
|
|

|
the sweetest memory of my youth
is silent now
it held me at arms length
as I reached back
when she asked
what's the best?
the most beautiful time of your life?
but I can't give myself back to that place again
that was years before
the end of times came to my doorstep
the dreams I had back then
have found a different soul to perch upon
I've carried on
the version of myself is gone
but I feel a warmth inside
when I'm lying by her side
the world amuses me
the sun's a little brighter

mania in quarantine
02:43
|
|||
|
wake up inside my body
I've never felt so alive
between the hours of 7 and 8 AM
what should I do now?
I've already read two books
and mastered a Beethoven song
and walked three miles around the block but
I can feel my heart beat
I can feel my heart beating
mania in quarantine is more than I could ever dream
I don't need to eat or sleep
i've got complete control of my body
this is a big step
cuz last week i truly
never ever thought I would feel better and blamed it on the weather
when I couldn't find the energy to get out of my bed but
now I feel my heart race
now I feel my heart racing
mania in quarantine is more than I could ever dream
I don't need to eat or sleep
I've got complete control of my body

long long long time

shame shame body shame
open up
feel the knife
shut back down again
hey girl, what on your mind?
you don't know
can't form the words
can't make the time
as your house came crashing down
your feet couldn't find solid ground
so you ran for cover on the weekends
to a corner of the world where you could pretend
that nothing had ever changed
we'll climb the walls that you built alone
we'll wish your demons well and let them go
you held them for a long long long long time
you held them for a long long long time
shame shame body shame
open up
feel the light
shut back down again
hey girl, do your thing
cool your heart
keep your head
but let them loose someday
cuz you were living just to make it through
so you buried your teeth and your tears and your pride and your youth
and your poetry, fallen trees, heroes, and glimpses of truth
stowed away beneath the moss, the rocks, the roots
but darlin, you made it
we'll climb the walls that you built alone
we'll wish your demons well and let them go
you held them for a long long long long time
you held them for a long long long time
we'll climb the walls that you built alone
we'll wish your demons well and let them go
you held them for a long long long long time
you held them for a long long long time

sense of time
03:57
|
|||
|
I'm finding peace of mind
now I've lost a daily commute
cuz I'm using that new piece of time
feeling out my feelings for you
as I walk mile after mile
in my worn out shoes
black and white laces
far out of town
to the end of the line
where the bus one ran
before we hid in place and the city shut down
I'm losing a sense of time
thank god I found an angel
who take me out of my mind
I rest my eyes and feel the light
on the side of my sun-kissed cheek
I hold my breath at the sight
of a familiar cherry red jeep
heading my way down strawberry st
it's not the first model and make
to cause my sensitive heart to beat
before it was a black toyota from the boy before you
and a white mini van from an earlier man but
girl, this is something new
girl, I've never seen eyes so blue
that bring my heart to a standstill
I'm losing a sense of time
thank god I found an angel
who take me out of my mind

the west coast

reminiscing on a time when I didn't overthink it all
knowing me that wasn't real
it's a nice thought though
life of Pablo
roll it real slow
on a friend of a friend's back porch
they're dancing inside we're out laughing in the cold
with our middle fingers up
to our fake Ivy League state school
they raise the price on us
and raise the price on us
and raise the price so we give them hell
but we're not there anymore
now there's no one to answer for
the shit that drives us made in the world
the shit that drives us
now there's a parking lot
where the old Lucky 7 used to be
our run down high school spot full of racing hearts
and fake IDs
we're not those kids anymore
we'll never be those kids again
no we'll never be those kids again
now my girls are leaving for the west coast
to the land of golden gate kisses and sunlit boulevards
to the land where the Richmond US dollar won't get you very far
in my hand they're holding a piece of my heart
and I know it's time to find out who we are
and I know this town won't get you where you're going to
and I know we won't forget our matching scars
and I know, and I know
and I know it's time to find out who we are
and I know this town can't get you where you're going to
and I know we won't forget our matching scars
and I know, and I know
