All my friends are living in the city
They spend all their days pulling out the weeds
But they can’t see me
All my friends are fashioned with rose-tinted
Glasses or goggles whichever suits them best
What will let their eyes rest?
Bits of lavender resting on my eyelashes
Weighing down my eyelids in a haze
Ivy disposition, growing in the cracks
Climbing up your walls and taking up space
Everything in its place
Poison ivy rashes, this is why you don’t
Leave the house whenever I ask
You to go out
Bits of lavender resting on my eyelashes
Weighing down my eyelids in a haze
Bits of lavender resting on my eyelashes
Weighing down my eyelids in a haze
Flowers are growing in my hair
So I’ll pick them out
‘Cause I don’t want them there
Flowers are growing in my hair
So I’ll pick them out
‘Cause I don’t want them there
It’s my own fucking hair
So I’ll shave it off
I’ll do what I want, do what I want
Flowers are growing in my hair
So I’ll pick them out
‘Cause I don’t want them there

Wink of Sleep

There’s a fire burning behind my eyes
A pounding headache, my brain is fried
A fresh coat of nail polish, not yet dried
I’m happy, I’m fine, I’m tired, I’m alive
Light purple nail polish in the shade Wink of Sleep
Stolen from the Target down the street
Stolen from the Target down the street
Light purple nail polish and screaming till we can’t speak
I wish it could last longer than a week
I wish it could last longer than a week
Can I please see your school ID?
Put it on the floor for me
I’ll snap a picture, call your mother
Don’t you dare laugh amongst each other
Up on floor sixteen
With the city under our feet
Looking out from the cracked open window
At the ants down below
Light purple nail polish in the shade Wink of Sleep
Stolen from the Target down the street
Stolen from the Target down the street
Light purple nail polish and screaming till we can’t speak
I wish it could last longer than a week
I wish it could last longer than a week
The scent is burning my nose
But that’s how it goes
And it smells like home
I thought I liked to be alone
But alone’s no fun
When you’re watching the drones
Go, go
Light purple nail polish in the shade Wink of Sleep
Stolen from the Target down the street
Stolen from the Target down the street
Light purple nail polish and screaming till we can’t speak
I wish it could last longer than a week
I wish it could last longer than a week
Light purple nail polish in the shade Wink of Sleep
Stolen from the Target down the street
Stolen from the Target down the street
Light purple nail polish and screaming till we can’t speak
I wish it could last longer than a week
I wish it could last longer than a week
