Fuck U

You know there's times I miss your dad
In the mornings when he'd always get so mad
He'd yell at all the kids
Because none of us knew the things he thought we did
There's times that I miss you
But fuck you
You're the one who left me alone
You're the living end
I trusted you
I thought you were my best friend,
But you're nobody at all
You know there's times I miss your mom
She knew always knew just what to tell me when things felt wrong
When I called after you broke my heart she told me to let it go
She always seemed to know that I'd miss you
But fuck you
You're the one who left me alone
You're the one who did the end
I trusted you
I thought you were my best friend,
But you're nobody at all

Kate From Lost

Smash em up don't look back drunk on the beach
I got news: I wanna take you sailin!
Steal a boat petty crime don't stop till we hit Honolulu
While the headwinds are prevailing
Ripe is the fruit that we choose
Free to consume while marooned
Oh, to be 22 again! You taste like sin
But you look like Kate from Lost
And I know I'm a fox and you're the hen
But you love this cock, and we'll work with what we got
Until 23 is gone
Soft lips steady hands you never bleed but you bruise
You're sweeter than a plum whine
Marked up on your neck, visible to all who peruse
The season you were just mine
Hands in your fur interlude
Only feet from our friends. Major mood.
Only for the summer we were undercover
We could hardly tell the truth
Because when you commit to a new lover
They're the only other
That decides how much you lose,
I remember when the winter snow clouds loom
I only wanted you to feel your freedom bloom
My heart belongs to you, forever.

Mandy Moore & Micropubs

Internet famous, I wanted it all
Tweet out a picture, at my beck and call
Are a million gorgeous headshots
And they all want to be a movie star
I am single - never been here before
Hey cutie, are you looking for a job or rapport?
Don't make me fuckin' Weinstein - I will not become what I abhor
But damn it's really lonely in the long long nights
I need you to know that I'm terrified
So heartbroken, but still looking for paradise
Tell me plainly what you're gunning for
Speak my language, I don't want to hurt you,
To haunt you.

Sativa

Encore inside of the weed store
What is alluring is the way you say my name
Talk more, I'm begging for your chords
Another carol destined to have your refrain
You're too close!
Oh, Sativa!
Sell me drugs
And banish me to every lonely place
In LA
Hajimemashite what music do you like to play?
Been trapped inside of late
All owing to the fuckin' plague
It's just a crush and I know it's just your job but you're close!
Oh, Sativa!
Ring me up
Peel off your mask so I can see your face concentrate.
Once more, in sight of the weed store
I know it will not happen, but you numb the pain
You are close
Oh, sativa
Help me out
Girl I want ya in my phone
Help me to survive the season
I shave my face now for a reason
You're the brightest moment of my day.

Check Yes

It's 8:00, and Bondarchuk, you got me feelin somethin
Oh this is rough, I've had enough, but I'm still drinking some
Canned wine I bought while high to hold me through
Oh little miss, how bout a kiss, how bout a picture of ya?
My vision's blurred but cellular screens are still shining bright
And I will make the most of feeling loose
Cuz baby I've got nothing to lose
There's no escaping the noose:
I've got your number and an unsteady truce
Check 'yes' for substance abuse
Did you enjoy my oversharing?
Another caring friendship ruined by

Keep It Casual
02:24
|
|||
|
Platonic tinder date went hot
And for the last two months you've been hanging on my wall
Telling tales about your mother, and your year in Eritrea
And I've soaked it up like the world's hardest sponge
But the age difference is rough
How did I ever let it get this far?
You're brand new and I'm retired: you don't remember 9/11
And I was born when there was still a Berlin Wall
Oh my girl, what are we doing?
Soon you'll be another ghost inside my heart
Tattered flags, the South Loop ruins
I can't tell you that I love you, but I'll sing it in this song until I sleep
Oh my god, we fucked this whole thing up
I wasn't born to keep it casual at all
Cuddle up: I'll call you "Kiddo"
And I won't loosen my grip until you finally find a place that you'll call home.

Fear of Airplanes
01:52
|
|||
|
Hold me till I sleep
Tumbling monuments
But I still believe
Old forgotten needs
Caught up in parliament
Unleashed as a dream
I need tenderness, devotion, humanity
Put your fear on airplane mode and talk to me
Total quarantine
Clings to your vetements
My virus queen
Take the time you need
History happens every day that you breathe
I need tenderness, devotion, clarity
Put your fear on airplane mode and talk to me
You hold catastrophe
To your heart, how can you breathe?
I'll watch the news as you can get some sleep.

Cheerleader Thing
03:41
|
|||
|
Put your legs up, rest them both upon my knees
Quiet domesticity is what I crave
I need you to tell me what is good today
Help me celebrate the joy that I can't taste
All my days just fall away
Girl, we got a cheerleader thing going on
And it drives me wild
I watch you land on your feet again
You don't know the person you were born to be
I can help you laugh through all your guilty rage
Watch my hands and I'll reveal your destiny
You didn't fight so hard to die inside a cage
Cloth and lace leave not a trace
Girl, we've got a cheerleader thing going on
And it makes me smile
I watch you land on your feet again
I will fight for your smile
Show you your life is so worthwhile
And if you stumble I will be there
Tossing you into atmosphere
Just to watch you land on your feet, again

Blue/Blue//Grey
02:54
|
|||
|
If you wanna talk then we can talk
But I don't think that talking helps us out
As we both try to find a way
If you wanna stalk, then you can stalk
But social media was only made to breed
Resentment lust and pain
Even in the brightness of the day
And I don't claim to have any real answers
But my memories stay alive
I will crystalize
Every lovely image of your face
And keep it locked inside my heart forever
I don't care how you spend your days
I'm not in this episode, I will not watch your movie when it plays
But I really hope that you're okay
Just don't tell me anything
I need this time to decide my own way
Even in the darkness of the day
And yeah, it's strange
You weren't here for long, but all my memories stay alive
I will crystalize
Every lovely image of your face
And keep it locked inside my heart forever
I know this place
It's when we napped next to the cat
And your eyes lit me aflame
So blue and grey
I brushed against your Maine tattoo and I knew you loved me
My memories stay alive
I will crystalize
Every lovely image of your face
And keep it locked inside my heart forever.

Online dating always waiting form a straightneed queue Juliana Jordan Isabella Clementine :)
Disappointments, massage ointments, clean off in a shower
Everything was pointless till we met at 'Idle Hour'
bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
I wouldn't mind to be the last of my kind
So caught up in you
All the time
Picture us two!
Picture tonight!
Cuz I wanna say that we could have this every day,
So caught up in you
When you smile
Picture us two
Picture awhile.
Planes and bikes, and superlikes and meaningless cliches
Is anybody on here that I'd want to stay till day?
Then you descended, summer mended every broken thing
Raise up like a chapel, let the holy church bells ring
bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum

Jesse, Am I Underground?
02:19
|
|||
|
So how's your mom's place?
Is it everything that you remembered when you took off from LA?
I can't believe that I miss you
I'm a walking cliché
But in moments like this, would you expect me any other way
Except stoned, on my couch, asking Jesse
"Am I underground?"
Whatever the fuck that means
Stuck in the lost and found
Of my thoughts as I fall asleep
You're the holy fount
That I pray to when the nightmares cut too deep
You help me start the week
And sure, it's all bad
"Will we or won't we or might we?"
I told my mom and dad
I know you talk about me, too
My girl, we're stuck like glue
And the distance is torture, it distorts what we want to do
Cuz I know you want it, too.
Even if we're underground
Telling ourselves it's a pipe dream
Till the thorny crown
Descends onto the ones we will marry
I'll keep my arm around
Every complication deep inside my heart
And still it'd be nice
When you're only ten minutes away again
And the only advice
We heed is our chemistry
As we watch spooky shit, alone
On my couch, deep in the evening
And we both might be stoned
Or just happy to be
Next to the one
We want.

supported by 7 fans who also own “Kiddo”
For me, I love the way the lyrics accompany the sound. The sort of juxtaposition of lyrics about mental health and loneliness with the typically upbeat instrumentals, some harsher than others.
