Use My Fkn Pronouns

Everyone around you, they just want to know the facts
Whether you are “this” or “that”
They don’t bother to interact
And if I told them I was neither they would probably get confused
They don’t bother to see the world through my eyes
When I go out in public
I want to leave because everyone calls me “She”
And that’s not me
And how many times does it take for you
To address me in the right way?
It’s just as important as my name
Don’t expect me to keep
Telling you what to say and do when you don’t want to
Yeah you don’t want to, you don’t want to, you don’t want to
If you were to be my friend
Could you maybe help me to
Correct people who don’t attempt to get it right?
To get it right
And how many times does it take for you
To address me in the right way?
It’s just as important as my name
Don’t expect me to keep
Telling you what to say and do when you don’t want to
Yeah you don’t want to, you don’t want to, you don’t want to
And how many times does it take for you
To address me in the right way?
It’s just as important as my name
Don’t expect me to keep
Telling you what to say and do when you don’t want to
Yeah you don’t want to, you don’t want to, you don’t want to
And how many times does it take for you
To address me in the right way?
It’s just as important as my name
Don’t expect me to keep
Telling you what to say and do when you don’t want to
Yeah you don’t want to, you don’t want to, you don’t want to

Time & Surface
04:00

This surface has shown how time has gone
The way we breathed
And the way we went
Our table has marks and stains and dents
It was a place to rest our heads
When does it stop
The angry fists
Making the dents
And making us cry
I’m still unsure how I feel
Over these years you weren’t here
Won’t be the same how it was back then
Cause I know you don’t put in effort anymore
When will you stop
With your false persona
You made those dents
And you made us cry
Over the summer
You said you would visit
Over the summer

Pulley Gift Exchange
04:04
|

|
Marbles and blocks and coins and strings
Tokens, figurines
Retrieving to build something up
Offer a gift
Elevate and lift
And we pull upwards to offer
Sentiment and insight without fully knowing
That this, this is the everlasting
Pulley Gift Exchange
As I run up the front staircase
I see what you made
(And joy overtakes)
And it’s time for me
To make this next one for you
And we pull upwards to offer
Sentiment and insight without fully knowing
That this, this is the everlasting
Pulley Gift Exchange
And we pull upwards to offer
Sentiment and insight without fully knowing
That this, that is the everlasting
Pulley Gift Exchange

2 Years Long

I wrote a song it’s two years long
So please know that I’m here yes I’m here yes I’m here
I just take a long time to respond
Feeling perpetually 19
When I’m 22 years old
And this space I make is a fragment of my face
And I’ll stick to the beat and I’ll say a few times
Give me the person inside
Not who you were a year ago
Declare who you are right now
And I think I’ll let myself go
I’ll breathe along
The earth’s not gone
So please know that I’m here yes I’m here yes I’m here
I’ll double-text back to be clear
And when I’m finally 25
I’ll reflect back to when I was 9
Cause’ the times that I’ve lived will never go away
And I’ll say to your face that I’m the same but yet I’ve changed
Give me the person inside
Not who you were a year ago
Declare who you are right now
And I think I’ll let myself go
I’ll declare my will and my testament
I’ll declare my will and my testament
I’ll step forward if you step back
I’ll step forward if you step back
Give me the person inside
Not who you were a year a go
Declare who you are right now
And I think I’ll let myself go

Windmill
04:55

The winds of change are not the same
The air is still right now
My head and my heart
Are stopped and stuck
I took what I could
But I could not manage to get up
So help me up
So help me up
So help me up
Please help me up
If I am a windmill then I can
Stay steady when the wind is blowing
Whatever comes at me will keep my turbines moving
Let's see if we can look
To the younger selves of our souls
And get what we need to show out
We're in the present and that's what I'm thinking about
I’ll move and turn like a windmill
And I won’t stop until you turn off mechanics and then I’ll power down
Whirls around my world
Where can I keep steady
When my pace is uncounted
Striving for ambition can take a lot
If you surrendered already
The static motion around
Allows me some peace
I’m comfortable in solitude
I’m in the present and that’s what I’m thinking about
I’ll move and turn like a windmill
And I won’t stop until you turn off mechanics and then I’ll power down
My head and my heart
Are stopped and stuck
I took what I could
But I could not manage to get up
And the air remains still

I just wanna, wanna see your face and
Feel my heart jump right out of my chest
Tank on E when I'm coming to see you
But I'm totally okay with that
With that
Oh yeah, oh yeah
So let's go get ice cream from the grocery store
Let's watch a movie in your apartment past 10pm
On a work night
I hope you don't mind
This time is what I want to capture
Can you teach me how to paint?
If I teach you ukulele
In the moonlight you are seen
Your words and thoughts will stick with me
In the sunlight you gleam
I know how timeless this can be
Can be
Can be
So let's go get ice cream from the grocery store
Let's watch a movie in your apartment past 10 pm
On a work night
I hope you don't mind
This time is what I want to capture
Bridge
We say that we will make it last
Smooth the ridges, make it past
Allow this flute to overfill
Give more than what we can get back
Get back
So let's go get ice cream from the grocery store
Let's watch a movie in your apartment past 10 pm
On a work night
I hope you don't mind
This time is what I want to capture

The Grand Scheme
04:39
|

Hello I’m wondering
Where I am in the scheme of things
Should we go back this way?
Or should we just keep walking?
Watch me try too hard
To make you comfortable
So I can dissipate
Pick up where you left off
Is it profound that I’m still around
I’m in the front
And I love myself
And I hold myself
And I see myself
And maybe you should too
Hello it’s happening
Can we find the root of things?
I’m up on the top floor
And you’re stuck on the first one
Watch me try too hard
To make you comfortable
So I can dissipate
Pick up where you left off
Is it profound that I’m still around
I’m in the front
And I love myself
And I hold myself
And I see myself
And I think you should too

You stayed up all night trying to bring me down
I stayed up all night trying to cry it out
Let's see where I decided to hide
Let's see where you decided to look
To look
To look
To look
To look
Woah oh woah oh woah
I'm very serious
I'm very serious
I'm very serious
I'm very serious
I'll feel my own soul break
Until I try to end this right
I won't ask unless I need but
Who have we become to be?
To be
To be
To be
To be
Yeah yeah yeah
I'm very serious
I'm very serious
I'm very serious
I'm very serious

Dumpster Fire On Douglas
03:34

There’s a dumpster fire on Douglas avenue
What can we do
When the ones who were supposed to put it out
Drove right past into the night
Missed the turn and didn’t look back
We’re stuck here now to put it out ourselves
These flames are visceral and
And they incinerate
And they’re incinerating, and they’re incinerating
This is the actual first time I’ve seen a dumpster fire
And it’s incinerating, and it’s incinerating
And I’m incinerated, and I’m incinerated
And I’m incinerated, and I’m incinerated
There's a bunch of fires
All around the world
The one in front of me
Is definitely not the worst it could be
But it's the worst for me
The help is getting overlooked
and flames are here just takin' off
These flames are visceral and
And they incinerate
And they’re incinerating, and they’re incinerating
This is the actual first time I’ve seen a dumpster fire
And it’s incinerating, and it’s incinerating
And I’m incinerated, and I’m incinerated
And I’m incinerated, and I’m incinerated

I want to catch you when you fall
And I wanna grasp the world back in our hands
And chase the seasons we lost
We can start when you’re ready
We’ll rebuild from where we left off
In Colorado, in Nebraska
In Colorado, in Nebraska
Let’s grow from our time back when
I want to break the cage around your mind
I want to feel your heart, it’s part of mine
And see the sights of our dreams and lives
We can start when you’re ready
We’ll rebuild from where we left off
In Colorado, in Nebraska
In Colorado, in Nebraska
Let’s grow from our time back when
