It was Monday then it was the weekend Did we jump ahead or go back a whole season? My head’s pounding You’re astounding The chemicals in my brain are broken Can’t recall the last time we had spoken Got no reasons Have no receipts Machines get cleaned It happens every single day Hey you’re not around me? Finally, came clean I told you everything I need Hey, you’re not around me! My calendar has birthdays of my exes My sex life is controlled by my hexes What’s your secret To have no regret? I stand in line while ghosts dance in a circle The reward will come if I take my turn I’m unstable You’re enabled Machines get cleaned It happens every single day Hey you’re not around me? Finally, came clean I told you everything I need Hey, you’re not around me! Consider it, considerate When will we learn our lesson? Consider it, considerate When will we learn our lessons? Machines get cleaned It happens every single day Hey you’re not around me? Finally, came clean I told you everything I need Hey, you’re not around me!

I saw an ad the other day It seemed a little to the point I only wanted temp work But they needed a permanent receptionist I clocked in on the first day This office was full of men Don’t really mind the routine Hate to come but I love to go Is everybody getting paid their fair shake? When is my goddamn lunch break? Got called in by Mr. Marx Said he doesn’t really see a spark Don’t really wanna throw a fit Need this job for the benefits Is everybody getting paid their fair shake? When is my goddamn lunch break?

The sand sticks to my sunburned skin I’ll share my thermos full of gin Sand fleas send shivers straight up my back As they play leapfrog in my buttcrack I lost my phone But I heard that daddy has weed C’mon and join me down at Hollywood Beach Hide my worries behind my shades The water is thick like marinade You can spot the rookies by their tan lines Just a little bit shy on their very first time I lost my keys But I gained a leech C’mon and join me down at Hollywood Beach I’ll take the shortcut at Berwyn The straights all call it Osterman It’s a safe space close to home As long as Lori leaves us alone I found a ride But I lost my memories C’mon and join me down at Hollywood Beach

My phone went buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz I got excited His name was Marc Marc Marc Marc Marc From an island We met then uh oh uh oh oh My phone went silent I guess reception ain’t so great in the bay You were a long distance mistake You’re a long distance waste of my time Long distance mistake But you were briefly mine My phone went buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz I got excited His name was Aaron he was going back to school We chat for months months months months months I bought his flight in When he ghosted made me feel like a fool You were a long distance mistake You’re a long distance waste of my time Long distance mistake But you were briefly mine My phone went buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz I got excited It’s been a long long long long time Since I got butterflies My phone went My phone went My phone went… Is this thing broken? Oh I guess he had a husband this whole time

Tell the truth for a couple of dollars I bet you could finally spit it out Tell the truth for a fist of flowers Maybe then you’ll get your reasonable doubt? And I dare you to get out And I dare you to find somewhere else to shout Dare you to get out A I dare you to get out Tell the truth to a pile of cigarettes Light it up so that we all get lost in the fog Tell the truth to a circle of idiots Maybe then you’ll finally get thrown off the log And I dare you to get out I dare you to find somewhere else to shout Dare you to get out And I dare you to get out

Confident 02:48
You are the closest friend To twenty men who look the same Don’t pull that string It’s sensitive When you can’t take all that you give Your self-esteem seems miles high But what are you trying to hide? How many men will he dismiss? The limit does not exist You really think you’ve got it all figured out? You’ve got abs and a fat trust fund account You really think you’ve got it all figured out? If you don’t work you can’t clock out When did this journey start? I’m guessing with a broken heart We grow and heal or build a shield Then hit the gym to play the field You really think you’ve got this all under control? But it’s gonna rain and you are wearing wool You really think you’ve got this all under control? I bet it feels so great to sell your soul You’re so confident

Attitude 02:13
You’ve got attitude I’ve got reasons to be rude You’ve got attitude I’ve got reasons to be Keep your business Outta my business Keep your business In my distance I’m patient When is my turn? You’re nosy When will you learn? Our conflict in power We crash and burn You’ve got attitude I’ve got reasons to be rude You’ve got attitude I’ve got reasons to be Keep your business Outta my business Keep your business In my distance I’m patient When is my turn? You’re nosy When will you learn? Our conflict in power We crash and burn Strike one Strike two Strike three Fuck you. You’ve got attitude I’ve got reasons to be rude

We got a connection and that’s obvious to me But your husband does not agree I’m so fucking bored I hover Don’t wanna be your younger lover I swear these queens are so fizzy they are shook My phone is buzzing off the hook You all are perfect for each other But I don’t need a younger lover What did I do? What did I say? What made you think you’d get your way? Just cuz I’m known around the town Does not mean that I am going down Oh wow how could I be so obtuse? If I don’t try I’ll keep making this excuse It’s getting lonely here under my covers Maybe I need another lover Are you included with a map? Did I fall into a trap?

Perfect Guy 02:46
Feeling good but I’m unsure of the facts Made a move but I didn’t make it back Swear I try but this happens every time How many times have I met the perfect guy? So many times that I’ve gathered a solution I transferred all of my issues to illusions I tried so hard I try so hard Is this trying hard or putting up more guards? Oh my god My skin is thick but it’s not an attribute Search for cracks when you tell me I look cute Swear I try but this happens every time How many times have I met the perfect guy? So many times that I’ve gathered a solution I transferred all of my issues to illusions I tried so hard I try so hard Is this trying hard or putting up more guards? Oh my god Oh my fucking god Another man shows up who gives me the time of day So I find a single flaw and throw him away For all the time I spent looking for the one They say time is precious But mine could be undone So many times that I’ve gathered a solution I transferred all of my issues to illusions I tried so hard I try so hard Is this trying hard or putting up more guards? How many times have I met the perfect guy?

I lit a candle for our love Then took a nap in the tub My sheets still have your scent When did this get so tense? And then you turned into a mist A connection that I missed You were the most considerate host And then you turned into a ghost Walk down the road without a sound My head beginning to pound This took a turn my mind is mush I fell asleep behind a bush And then you turned into a mist A connection that I missed You were the most considerate host And then you turned into a ghost It’s a brand new day ever since you went away
