Stand before you flickering white
We never held onto something so tight
Infatuation with a hint of regret
I don't care leaning over the seat kissing your neck
Summer came as fast it went
This love is not home it's a tourniquet
The ugly face of life comes around the bend
To gnaw at the wounds only you can mend
One day we'll wake up clean together
Where you won't be fucked up beyond repair
And I will be so sweet like I always was
Over and over and over it's never enough
Bending my arm behind my back
You whisper this love is not home it's a tourniquet
The ugly face of life comes around the bend
To gnaw at all of the wounds only you can mend
And you know that

Disappearing Act
03:13

Like a leather long bow, pull my string back
Before you let me go, disappearing act
Search for me like an addict when I slip through the cracks
You'll never find what you're looking for in girls like me
With my past
Close my eyes and count to three
Let your love cut into me
Entrails all over the floor
Now you're gone and I'm so sore
Spun around to try again
You'll be different in the end
All the good ones disappear
Now I am left stuck here
Now I am left stuck here
Said the stains were just wine
Told them I'll be just fine
Anything for you
Yellowed wrists under my sleeves
We just fuck and barely speak
But I'll do anything for you
Starve myself so I can be
What you want so you can see
That I'm the wife you waited for
Crawling on my hands and knees
Begging you not to leave
Like everyone else before
Close my eyes and count to three
Let your love cut into me
Entrails all over the floor
Now you're gone and I'm so sore
Spun around to try again
You'll be different in the end
All the good ones disappear
Now I am left stuck here
Now I am left stuck here
Now I am left stuck here
Now I am left stuck here
Now I am left stuck here

Lose

Tears fall sideways and stain my pillow
I've felt this empty since I was little
Use my body as a cutting board
When the world gets cold
And I'm locked in my room
Pitch black and all alone
I'm decaying like a statue
Everybody takes a piece
Until I'm nothing like I was
There's hardly any left to me
Let men love me like killers
Until my face is on the news
It won't take long
Once you've got me
In your trunk and dark blue
Take a look
Take a look
This is what it looks like to lose
Take a look
Take a look
This is what it looks like to lose
I love to play the victim more than any other role
Until my legs swing in the closet
Bare naked with no soul
Sympathy from other losers
Feeling so bad but can't help
I'll do anything to stay hurt
Even if I have to hurt myself
Take a look
Take a look
This is what it looks like to lose
Take a look
Take a look
This is what it looks like to lose
Most days now I get so high I can't come down
But when I do I plummet through the ground
To the bottom steadying my shaking hands
That peel back the curtain where I stand
With greasy hair and smeared black eyes
I have no tears left I could cry
The bitter end feels so warm
Sinking beneath the surface of scorn
Take a look
Take a look
This is what it looks like to lose
Take a look
Take a look
This is what it looks like to lose
You brought me high
And left me low
I got caught up in the undertow
I can't get well
My body's not home
I'd rather lose myself than be left all alone

Skinny

This morning I woke up bleak
Circling that drain like hair in a sink
Beautiful bones hang on display
Put both hands on the stove
Don't pull away
Aftermath tastes so sweet
Open up your little mouth swallow defeat
Did you think you'd stick around?
Did you really?
Trying to carve you out of me
But I'm left skinny
My hip bones shine through a slip dress
Much like your eyes at my distress
You've felt my whole body with your teeth
Eating away at the dissolving girl underneath
Aftermath tastes so sweet
I didn't mean to bite down but you let me
I knew you wouldn't stick around
They never do
Cursed to be the skinny girl who
Tried to fill myself with you
With you
With you
With you

Happiness in Hindsight
03:20

Hold me down in shackles I've forged
You're the reason I can't sleep anymore
I relive being dragged around
The house where I grew up
You'd always turn the blade on me
Whenever things got tough
Crawl backwards through the window
I'll never come home
Lose me to the night
Through all the hands laid on me
I know none of them were worth the fight
Hopeless but I need you
Please don't dim the light
I just wanted to love you
But you just wanted to be right
Happiness in hindsight
Happiness in hindsight
Happiness in hindsight
Happiness in hindsight
Crawl backwards through the window
I'll never come home
Lose me to the night
Through all the hands laid on me
I know none of them were worth the fight
Hopeless but I need you
Please don't dim the light
I just wanted to love you
But you just wanted to be right
