7 AM IN AN UBER DRIVING AWAY FROM GREENPOINT

 

Let’s call it quits right now

Don’t want to see this body wasted

So before I leave

I want you to taste it

 

I imagine you in your silent hours

Still reeling from a storm like me

 

I get insecure when you say things like

I was born when you were 15

 

 

PURPLE

 

I think purple is my color

Last night you watched me slip it on

While I danced round the room

To your favorite Manson song

 

You play a dangerous game my friend

With your hands around my neck

Feels like I’m sleeping with a shark

There’s no heaven or hell after dark

 

You smell like my favorite cigs

Pretty smile and yellow teeth

I want to fall into your chest and give up

But it won’t be, you won’t let me

 

 

BORED WITHOUT YOU

 

oh god i wanna pop a pill

nothing’s happening

this is the perfect time

i feel so cool

i wanna have it so bad

that feeling of nothing

what’s happening

nothing

and that’s why i want the pill in my desk

i could do it

but i made a promise

to your hurt little soul

i made a promise to my own

i hate this

i love you

i have a commitment

but best believe next week

it will be on my tongue

 

 

LET’S BE FRIENDS

 

Let’s be friends

But first take off your clothes

I’m heaven for men who don’t know who they are

 

Good for a fuck

Good for lunch

Good for when you miss her

Cuz I am such a good listener

With my lips around your dick

 

Let’s be friends

Let’s be friends

Let’s be friends

Let’s be friends

Let’s be friends

Let’s be friends

 

I’m sick of quiet storms that die before anyone wakes

 

 

PHOENIX

 

I think of you and her

And me

Us three

 

The thought of you still wanting me

While your heart belongs elsewhere

It turns me on

 

Maybe it’s just my ego being stroked

 

But I bet you wouldn’t say no

I know you wouldn’t say no 

 

 

NO EXIT PLAN

 

I’m in the business of letting things happen

When will I ever get to choose

Letting the fire burn till it fizzles out

Or just let it consume 

Tryna find the words to set you loose

I’m dead on arrival

That’s my first mistake

 

The girl is working hard but gives no rates

So long

So long

This feeling is so long

So long

So long

We’ve been doing this for so long

 

My stomach is turning

I have no off switch

Rough sex and wet kisses

Fabric sewn by a thin stitch

Oh I’ve never been crafty, I’m just a careless bitch

 

So long

So long

This feeling is so long

So long

So long

We’ve been doing this for so long

 

Is this eternity?

I look back and I’m the fool

I look back and I’m the bulldozer

That crushed you

But at least I looked back

 

 

OOPS

 

tears fall where they may

my sweet december psycho

i fell in love

when i sang with you

 

why did you ask me to go on that ride?

 

family and friends,

we are gathered here today

to mourn the loss of a boxer

she was knocked out by submission

fucking naked in the kitchen
