Take a deep breath they say. But breathing is easy, it's getting out of bed that's hard. I'll probably never be the person that I dreamed, and giving up has been the worst part. If someone told me growing older would mean growing out of all that I love, I would never have grown up. I miss living out of cars, and crashing couch to couch. The person I was wouldn't recognize who I am now.

Paper Skin

Sticks and stones and broken bones, they will use their words to ruin you. You are worth more than a nine to five. You're worth everything that makes you feel alive. Take aim at a world you're not a part of. Burn down everything you'll never need. Written on our paper skin "this is a live that is worth living" I'm prepared to leave it all behind. Fuck everything that doesn't make you feel alive. Everything is but a prick under our skin. Their lives, they only go skin deep. You are worth more than anything they can say about you. Keep calm, fuck em all, and you'll make it though. I've left everything behind a dozen fucking times, what makes you think I won't do it again?

frustrations over the plans we've made and the promises we can't keep
and I'm sorry the world is a tumor and we only find refuge in sleep
it's okay but it's not okay that nothings going to plan nothing feels alright
the only valid dreams we have are the ones that we have at night
and if I could turn those dreams into reality believe me I fucking would
but I'm afraid of any responsibility so I'm not not sure that I could
I'm afraid of a life that involves more than simply rearranging
but I guess I gotta get with the times because the times are changing
these tattoos of houses are places we will one day be
if we can get over the fact that dreams can be more than sleep
and it's shame we live on borrowed time
but it's time that time meant something to me
it's a shame that I can't get out of bed
it's a shame that I'm so in love in myself
it's a shame that things are always the same
it's a shame that all I fucking feel is shame

I shouldn't have to tell you for you to know
that I hate the pigs out east as much as I hate the ones back home
I shouldn't have to tell you for you to know
that trans people are people too and you should leave other's identities alone
but I guess that basic human dignity
is not an assumed quality
anymore
I shouldn't have to tell you for you to know
that addiction's not a choice no one chooses to go down that road
I shouldn't have to tell you for you to know
that everybody has a heart everybody deserves a home
I love my friends and my friends are valid
they struggle hard but we all are comrades
we've got a long way to go
we've got a long way to go
I shouldn't have to tell you for you to know
that I hate that orange cunt more than anyone I know
I shouldn't have to tell you for you to know
rapists are the only cause of rape that's as far as that argument goes

I remember being twelve lifted up by my hair
As you screamed at me "you can't tell me isn't there"
And god wasnt there
When i fell to the ground bruised and bloody
I didnt pray before that havent prayed much since
I didnt pray for it to stop just hoped it would and it did
And travvis if you're reading this
Jokes on you
I'm still a fucking atheist
you don't own me and you never ever did
it feels so good to sing about it
I spent too many years letting what you did define me
and I'm over it, I'm finally fucking over it
I remember spending years living in fear
of who I was and the things I believed
and I refuse to hear a word of any god
that somebody has tried to beat into me
I spent too long pretending to be something I was not
you can explain it to your god when you finally rot
how christianly it was what you did to me
I tried to please you when you did not deserve to be pleased

I hate myself for being autistic
I hate myself for playing acoustic
I hate myself for being artistic
I hate myself for hating myself
I wanna jump off a bridge and drown my sorrows
drink so much tequila I don't see tomorrow
burn down my house and die sleeping in my home
get hit by a car and pay my friends student loans
I wanna win the lottery and blow it on blow
I wanna cut ties with everyone I know
I wanna not come back from tour this time
I wanna forget every memory of mine
I hate myself for being dramatic
I hate myself for all these theatrics
I hate myself for always acting batshit
and I hate myself for hating myself
I wanna sell my guitar and quit doing music
I wanna kill a motherfucker who once abused me
I wanna start doing shit tons of dope again
I wanna cut ties off with all my friends
I wanna write a book and immediately burn it
I wanna learn another language simply to learn it
Wanna let go of a life that simply haunts me
tengo depresion parilazante
I hate myself for wasting myself
I hate myself for being someone else
I hate myself for not being myself
I hate myself for hating myself
