Verse1:
Medicated
And Incarcerated
Trapped in my mind and now I’m
real debatin’
Tell me
Is it worth the living?
To be in this condition,
So angry at the world, now I can’t stand a kitchen
Wait a minute.
And I know it’s kinda scary
barely,
made it through this year to January.
And please...
I think I need permission
To be who I want
Cause I’m living in submission.
Pre-Chorus:
Looking at the world,
Scared to get old,
I don’t wanna be commercialized and be sold.
X2
Chorus1:
And all the girls around me
They feel bad for eating
I know I’m not the only one let’s fuck the feeling!
Verse2:
Look at me.
Do I look like shit?
It’s the morning after and I cannot deal with it.
Even if I wanted to,
‘Cause I always use
This intermediary blame as my excuse.
And I know it’s kinda scary,
barely,
made it through this year to January.
PRE-CHORUS
Chorus2:
And all the guys around me
They feel bad for eating
I know I’m not the only one let’s fuck the feeling!
Bridge:
I’m so sick of this.
Why don’t they warn you when you’re young?
That you can’t hate your weight,
And think that hate will bring you love.
CHORUS
Outro:
I’m so done with this!
I think my body’s good enough!
I say let’s fuck the noise!
I say let’s fuck this and have fun.

Verse 1
There is
No explanation
For how I feel bout you.
I haven’t
Seen you since April
But still, your face is coming through.
Pre-Chorus
And I
Know just what you'll say
I think you feel the same wave
So ya don’t stop or hesitate
Chorus
If you want
me...
And I want
you…
Verse 2
You
Were out of focus
Till I had a dream bout you.
We were in love
Like in a movie
And when I woke I just knew
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Bridge
Is it too late
For me to say
I’ll tell you that I want you
You tell me that you want me.
Chorus

Lost Myself

Verse 1:
It starts at a young age when you’re growing up.
They’re coming for your money, then they’re coming for your love.
Then they’re gonna tell you that you’ll never be enough,
So you keep on buying more,
so you can call their bluff.
10 years, now you’re 16
10 years, and you don’t change a thing.
The voice inside is way too loud.
How’d they get into your mouth?
Maybe you’ll be someone else
If they just let ya go.
Pre-Chorus1:
Oh I’m so confused
And I feel used
I think I lost myself.
The mirror haunts
While the photos taunt.
I think I lost my–
Verse 2:
It starts at a young age when I start to know
Sometimes it feels better to just fade and be a ghost.
But in my haunted house I live all alone and,
If I come on up for air I might find what I’ve known.
I’ve been spending too much time in my head
thinking that they’ll come for me if I dont stay ahead
but,
if you base your self-worth on everybody else,
you’ll end up pleasing nobody and always hate yourself!
Pre-Chorus 2:
Oh I’m so confused
And I feel used
I think I lost myself.
The mirror haunts
While the photos taunt.
I think I lost my–
Bridge:
I thought It was fine
To hate yourself.
To break down and cry
And never ask for help.
but what if I changed?
I wouldn’t have to shy, dont shy away.
I’d play, by the rules
of my own game, my own game.
And if
I’m different
they’ll look at me like I’m crazy,
but I’m not crazy!
I’m just happy!
and I’m doing fine
With myself.

PINK HAIR

Verse 1
I wonder if you still know me.
If I still show up on your feed.
I used to know you from high school.
Where every day I felt uncool.
Pre-Chorus
But I’m gonna write our names down next to your photograph.
Cursive heart letters I practiced in science class.
Tomorrow I’m gonna return your pencil back
With a note, that I wrote
And then you’ll understand...
Chorus
I don’t mean to be rude
But you look so cute
Want you in my room
I don’t really mean to stare
I just love your pink hair.
you!
Caught me by surprise
You look so nice, candy to the eye
Come on come on to my world
I could be your pink-haired
Girl
(do you think of me as you fall asleep? Ah shit I guess it’s just me)
Verse 2
I fell in love with your picture
That girl in red, are you with her?
And now I bet you will wonder
How I know about your summer
Well
Pre-Chorus
But I’m gonna write our names down next to your photograph.
Cursive heart letters I practiced in science class.
Tomorrow I’m gonna return your pencil back
With a note, that I wrote
And then you’ll take my hand...
Chorus
Bridge
If I was somebody else
Still, there’d be no chance in hell…
Chorus
(If I was somebody else
Still, there’d be no chance in hell…
If you were somebody else
At least I’d have my pink hair.)

VERSE 1:
mornings are boring
till you walk out
how good it feels
when you are just around
I see you, I’m see-through
put words in my mouth,
But I’ll keep it in, no
won’t
make a sound
but
PRE-CHORUS:
here I am again
staring at the internet.
looking up your name
and you look good with a cigarette.
but you’ve got other friends
I know how the story ends.
I’ll see you tomorrow
and you’ll forget we ever met.
or maybe
we could
love one another.
drive to my house
come meet my mother,
But I
don’t
have you….
VERSE 2:
You’re stunning
And cunning
I’m so below.
You look like
Nine-ty six
DiCaprio.
So hold me
Blindfold me
You Romeo.
Or keep me safe
from the
sea’s undertow.
PRE-CHORUS
BRIDGE:
I would call you up
if you said you’re mine.
I don’t know my part.
I don’t know my lines.
I would give it up
oh for just those eyes.
I need you right now,
need you in my life!
INSTRUMENTAL
OUTRO:
You look so cool
with your mouth on the cigarette.
I dance alone
do you think that I’m a winner yet?
but you’ve got other friends
I know how the story ends.
I’ll see you tomorrow
and you’ll forget we ever met….
BRIDGE:
I would call you up
if you said you’re mine.
I don’t know my part.
I don’t know my lines.
I would give it up
oh for just those eyes.
I need you right now,
need you in my life!
