Animus 04:09
Loving myself is like Running in a maze But I don’t know Any other way I take on whirling winds But it doesn’t seem to matter I can’t bear that I’ve been Prey to you Didn’t you get enough to eat? Animus, get messy with me The way you mess with my head I want to follow through with you But maybe I’m not meant to I’m injured, I can’t speak My body’s been left to the fleas I want to follow through with you and follow when you go Follow through with you and follow when you go Carve a door into the wall Walk around, live backwards To tell you the truth, I’m scared to be a mess around you Hold on to your treasures or they’ll run away from you Loving myself is like runnin’ But I don’t know Any other way

I see you melting like ice to water peddling away from presence Scared my instincts are medicated You can’t see my deficiencies It’s something with me, something with me On my body I’ve levied a tax that I do not deserve I carry these stories They narrate my whispers This one, this time, this one Hardly in love Will I ever love again? I hate you for making this look easy Three things I’m grateful for The virgo moon My hands And the tears I cried for you Maybe I cry more than I sing, the work is slowly killing me Everyone is moving so fast Money has too much over honesty But at least I’m listening World’s in a lot of pain but we’re yelling at our screens My heart is made of strings, I play them everyday Three things I’m grateful for The virgo moon My hands And the tears I cried for you

Judy 04:36
I don’t wanna get in too close I am not what you can see There she was then, there she is Growing up around who she’ll be The door is just as you left it when It was too much to walk away You can’t take it easy on me If the memory is enough The thoughts won’t go away You still want to take a taste You need to trust the pain I’ll climb up this tree for Judy Judy Judy Judy Judy Breathing in is like a dig Deep into sand The more I’m patient I’m more alone My mind takes ahold of me I don’t want to let go I’d rather be with her You can’t take it easy on me If the memory is enough The thoughts won’t go away You still want to take a taste You need to trust the pain I’ll climb up this tree for Judy Judy Judy Judy Judy Cure me with your silent consequences Or I’ll try and destruct my tongue and make a fool of this Don’t let your head hang low In the sun like you can’t be seen Judy Judy

Blind 04:00
Simple things like your rage with me Or your beauty when you sleep Pardon me please while I watch you burn and flee I knew I was close to you I could feel you down deep You’re heart a fast car that came without a key Maybe I hold you to blame for all the reasons I’m still cold And you’re gone just in time, baby are you goin’ blind? Maybe I hold you to blame for all the reasons I’m still cold And you’re gone just in time, baby are you goin’ blind? I know there’s a light in here, I can see it in your eyes Now you’re headed out to sea, but is that really wise? Maybe I hold you to blame for all the reasons I’m still cold And you’re gone just in time, baby are you goin’ blind? Maybe I hold you to blame for all the reasons I’m still cold And you’re gone just in time, baby are you goin’ blind? Vacant creatures in gentle shade I can’t hold what no one knows Baby are you goin’ blind? Baby are you goin’ blind? Baby are you goin’ blind? Baby are you goin’ blind?

Becca 03:33
It’s been a long time, it’s been a long long time It’s been a long time since I’ve been asleep Your eyes are turning into dust, something heavy in your chest Laying on your back til’ the sun goes back to bed Every piece of you, every piece of you is wasted on the night You forget which way is up from down, you’re out of line Come to me when you close your eyes It’s been a long time, it’s been a long long time 
It’s been a long time since I’ve been asleep Always sleepin’ but you never get no rest Every piece of you is wasted Every piece of you is wasted on the night Come to me when you close your eyes Come to me when you close your eyes
