I’m taking my time I’m reeling in my mind And I thought I just needed Some company But I’m not alone I’m talking with the trees And now I know There’s no one that I need And people tell me “Nothing in this world comes for free.” But money’s just a stupid currency And now I’m in a mini van with everything important to me I got my video games, I got my pet rat family And if I got on the highway and drove very far away I think that it would be okay Because I’m in a mini van with everything that I could ever need I got my video games, I got my pet rat family

Hot Water 03:33
I used the microwave in your kitchen To cure my headache And shared my leftover food with you As you lay in your bed fermenting I searched through All the new stuff that you got In your room And I’m wondering if 4 years together Grants telepathic abilities Cause we can read each other Like books with no covers And you passed out when I went to the bathroom So I cleaned up my mess and I tucked you in And on my way out the back door I saw him entering This time I’m really moving on This time I’m really moving on That’s why I’m writing you this song Cause this time I swear I’m moving on This time I’m really moving on This time I’m really moving on I can’t stop writing all these stupid songs about you But this time I swear I’m moving on

There’s a place that I go to When I get out of school And theres no humans here, but there’s people everywhere And they don’t trust me cause of what we do I don’t care about success and Sometimes I wanna quit school And I can hear the sound of engines, Trapping the people like prison cell bars and I ask my self, “What did they do?” and I wanna take them all back to my home, take care of them and make sure they grow old But I know it doesn’t matter where you go try to relax and take a deep breath of chemicals and shit And it’s something that we’ve all brought on them
4.
I’m alright, I’m okay Or at least thats what I’ll say Cause today I can’t help that I miss you And the bees, they don't sting And the birds they all flap their wings But today I can’t help that I miss you I miss those days When I’d pick you up from your place And we’d go anywhere in my car I’m sad and alone and I wanna pick up my phone And tell you everything on my mind But its no use Our spark has lost its juice And theres no way to hit rewind Cause you’re gone, It’s too late I had you and I let you fly away And I can’t Help that I still love you And you’ve found a new boy And he knows how to fill your heart with joy But I just want you To smile

The tiny creatures They talk to me when no one else is around to hear They tell me things about the world And they tell me everything it says They know me so well It's like they're inside my head And they don’t like it in the city Where all the people Drink their caffeine coffee To cover up Their nicotine cough Well maybe I don’t like it either And maybe I Should sink beneath the dirt Cause living here makes everything hurt Where do I fit in The tiny creatures refuse to tell me that They say I need to find out for myself
6.
I’ve been driving through the city I’ve been feeling pretty shitty And wishing I was closer to you Cause I feel so alone Even though I know that you’re at home And all I see are coffee stains The mark you make still remains All I see are coffee stains It makes me wonder if you’re okay Cause I feel so alone Even though I know that you’re just Sitting at home Waiting for someone to call your phone Well maybe I’ll call your phone Maybe I’ll call your phone tonight These days I mostly just say Exactly what you want to hear But thats just because I don't want you to worry away The rest of your days So I'll say, I'll mostly just say Exactly what you wanna hear No i'm not depressed and I'm not nervous Everything is okay I'm sorry I think fishing sucks And gambling's confusing brains for luck But I'm just another coffee stain That you refuse to wash away

Burn 01:33
Categorize me With all your rules And you think you know me Well you're just a fool This isn’t how i want to be remembered Buried under notions of a harsh society I’ll shine bright as the sun Then we’ll all become one Feel the rays warm your skin Burn away ignorance And I can feel it now I can feel it set me free This isn’t how i want to be remembered So educate yourself about my gender

Elizabeth Where have you been All of my life Oh I Lose track of all my time When I think of you, I get so blue Deep down inside Cause I I want to make you mine Oh I don’t see you very often But I love it when I do And the way you’ve been looking at me lately I wonder if you wanna spend some more time with me too Cause I could really see myself falling in love with you Elizabeth I can't understand Why you're not like All the girls Who give me all their time When I look at you You should look back too And give me a smile But you don't Yet oh i'll still try Oh I saw you with your girlfriend You should have told me from the start Now I'll act like your invisible Like I do with the other ones Then i'll go and tell everyone you broke my heart in two Liz baby, I love you
