Diagnosis

They make me feel more insane than I am
But if I was I wouldn't know the difference
My life's perception is of deep resentment
Of all my loved ones who don't seem to accept it
It'll take awhile before I fall
It'll take awhile before I fall
I keep losing my head
And wishing I was dead
I use to tell myself everything would be alright
The help available
Is as fake as usual
You use to tell me that everything would be alright
You use to tell me that everything would be alright
Documents and paperwork terrify
They use it all the time to wrongly justify
Diagnosis is key while simultaneously
Labels me a monster and tells me that's what I need
It'll take no time before I fall
It'll take no time before I fall
Stop losing your head
And wishing you were dead
I need to tell myself everything will be alright
The help available
Is really difficult
But I need to tell myself everything will be alright
I need to tell myself everything will be alright

Strange how something so good
Can end up feeling so bad
These nights we've had together
The best I've ever had
Wonder how you're doing did it shake you harder than you think
Maybe once it's over you'll go back to feeling like you're safe
Collect all your things and tell me what is missing from your place
From your place
Return my calls I'm scared for one thing
How is your mind it was so shocking
Am I allowed to feel this way
I want you safe
I want you safe I
We're years apart
But I want to shelter you from things that tear me apart
When you sleep tonight
The glass on the bedroom floor
I hope they didn't get too far
And that they didn't take any guitars
I get defensive of the ones I love
Even though I'm really young
I always want to help you please don't think you have to go through things
Silently
I don't know how this could have happened
I hope the violation has been
A passing feeling not too painful
I'm ashamed though
Wish I'd stayed
We're years apart
But I want to shelter you from things that tear me apart
When you sleep tonight
The glass on the bedroom floor
You know more
But I hope you sleep soundly in moments we feel insecure
Know that you're cared for
Know that you're cared for
Break in break break in
Break in break break in

Axes

Sometimes I come home to sound
Loud noises that tear down
My anxiety I feel relief
You see the fire when she turns up her amp yeah
You feel the flame through distorted reaction
I hope it burns down all her enemies
And you won't know what to do
When she shreds right through you
She's got a brand new she's got a brand new
She made such a fool out of you
She's got a brand new she's got a brand new she's got a brand new axe
And I swear she'll cut you in half
My girl got a brand new axe and
She rocks out through the night yeah
Can't believe how sweet and sick the sound
And you won't know what to do
When she shreds right through you
She's got a brand new she's got a brand new
She made such a fool out of you
She's got a brand new she's got a brand new she's got a brand new axe
And I swear she'll cut you in half
And you won't know what to do
When she shreds right through you
She's got a brand new she's got a brand new
She made such a fool out of you
She's got a brand new she's got a brand new she's got a brand new axe
And I swear she'll cut you in half

Expectations blown away
The day of your first birthday
So small you filled my heart
Queen almighty break the mold remember that you can’t be controlled
Be brave with a heart of gold
Don’t be afraid of the unknown
I wish I could tell you stories
I wish I could give you hope
I need you to know that when life tests you
I will be here
Be here when you need me the most
Fear of failure losing a friend
Feeling like the world will end
From the darkness I know you’ll climb
Emerge every time
Into the light
We are all your army
Ready to defend
Our love for you is boundless
I can’t wait to make more stories
You fill me with life and hope
I need you to know that when life tests you
I will be here
Be here when you need me the most
Most
Fear of failure losing a friend
Feeling like the world will end
From the darkness I know you’ll climb
Emerge every time
Into the light
Fear of failure losing a friend
Feeling like the world will end
From the darkness I know you’ll climb
Emerge every time
Into the light
Fear of failure losing a friend
Feeling like the world will end
From the darkness I know you’ll climb
Emerge every time
Into the light

Hollow
03:33
|

|
These feelings that I harbour they're too much to bear
The shame I feel I am painfully aware
All their staring makes me want to disappear
My fractured sense of self has made things so unclear
All the things that make me hollow
The past is really hard to swallow
Self loathing's automatic every single day
I wish my sexuality would go away
Brain stop internalizing
Biphobic bullshit lying
All the things that make me hollow
The past is really hard to swallow
If I just loved myself then this would all feel fine
I want to end myself but I can't cross that line
All the things that make me hollow
The past is really hard to swallow

Save You

I wish that I could be your hero
What you want and what you need
Might not line up perfectly
So do what you want
With me
Suffering and jealousy
Bandages and therapy
I wish I knew how to
Stabilize rectify
So watch yourself
Cause no one else
Take care of you and save you
I hope you don't have to start at zero
I know it gets cold out in the dark
So numb you can't feel things fall apart
But I promise it's never too late to start
So do what you want
With me
Suffering and jealousy
Bandages and therapy
I wish I knew how to
Stabilize rectify
So watch yourself
Cause no one else
Take care of you and save you
Save yourself
Save yourself
Save yourself

All Hail

Give me space let me elaborate
The power of these queens
They give me life they feed my soul
With their rock and roll
Powerfully
All hail my queens
She's my majesty
Response is automatic
I'm feeling so dramatic
They always want more
It's what they came for
Patiently I'll have to wait and see
My next reality
But to have my girls right here right now
Means the world to me
Powerfully
All hail my queens
She's my majesty
Response is automatic
I'm feeling so dramatic
They always want more
It's what they came for
Response is automatic
I'm feeling so dramatic
They always want more
It's what they came for
Response is automatic
I'm feeling so dramatic
They always want more
It's what they came for
They always want more
It's what they came for
They always want more
It's what they came for
