Flamingo
03:27

Tall and pink, and not so lovely
If you're ever thinking of me I hope I didn't rub you the wrong way
When i walk it ain't like the tropics cause everyone around me says
"Stop it, you're blocking my sun and putting me in the shade"
The best that you can do is call me tacky
If I were low like you, I'd probably attack me too
But I'd fly away, and that's too bad for you
If you think I won't succeed, you might be eating your words
I get whatever I need because I put me first
And when I fly away, you'll say: "oh, where did she go?"
Fuck you, I'm a flamingo
I'm blooming late, 'cause I've never ate
Well, some say I ain't pink enough but I still have my flamboyance
My buoyancy is greater and you're lesser than me
I can't help that i'm the best you've ever seen
'Cause I bring all the boys to my yard when I'm sleepin’ on my one leg
I see you in my lagoon, you're creepin’
But i'll fly away, i'm done with people pleasing
I don't owe you one damn single thing
(Especially after all of the laughter, if you ever dissed me, you won't miss me)
Someday you will be a bell that won't ring
(Who are you? I don't know her...)
You're not pink

Playing Pretend
03:46
|
|||
I’m so over being done with you, can’t pretend I ain’t in love with you anymore
You didn’t have a door, so I walked in to the ones before
Just too dark to see, could I have known that you wanted more?
Lay your eyes on me, could I be the one you’re longing for?
Little did you know, you’re the one that I adored
I’m so over being done with you, can’t pretend I ain’t in love with you anymore
Why can’t I make a move? What the hell are you waiting for
Wish I could give you more, why can’t you kiss me like before?
This will never end if we keep playing pretend
Kiss me through the floor, wrap yourself around me
Do what you do, just don’t let them see
Lay your hands on me, I should be the one you’re longing for
Tell me what you want and you’ll never need another
I can’t really say it, that I’m very into you
I don’t think your mother and boyfriend will approve
We both know that our love was on another level
I can’t help but revel within you
Are we really just friends?

Lucid
04:01
|
|||
Quiet drone in my violet home, we can’t be alone
In the emptiness all around, but still it's you I found
we’re floating way above the ground
You let me feel lucid
It hurts so good when I smile so hard, should I discard this heart?
‘Cause the bpm is not my friend, I long for the end
now that I see what’s around the bend
Flicker, flicker goes the amber flame
can’t recall my name, ‘you’re to blame’
I found a brand new way to get real high, I take you, we fly
There’s nothing to demystify

Sunshine & Rainbows
04:02
|
|||
Sunshine and rainbows don’t mean the storm ain’t coming back
Gentle waves won’t save you from a shark attack, darling
Say you’re sorry one more time
I don’t wanna hear it ‘cause you don’t mean it
Think your flowers brought my sunshine?
It was never mine, you’ve never seen it
And by all means, babe, you better go and pretend that everything is fine, but…
Why don’t you fall from your chair again?
You’ve got dirt on your hands, and the bottle is at its end
It don’t matter how many coladas I drink down
‘cause I’ve found I’m on the brink now
My little sad clown, you better go and pretend that everything is fine but…
I know you’ll love me when I’m no longer young and beautiful
But your kind of love bounds me and makes my days centennial

Around
03:05
|
|||
I have given all I have to give
And this life I’m living doesn’t feel worth it to live
‘Cause I’m tired, let me go now
I don’t want to be around

Black Grass
03:43
|
|||
Sing me a lullaby before you go
Whisper those things that only we know
I’ll run my fingers through black grass
Sienna plains are where questioned aren’t asked
Enfolding black roses, winds blow us there
I will frolic through the black grass
Just so hypnotic, proof of my impasse
This can’t last
The only life that grows here
Is poison to touch but so pleasant to fear
You bit my apple when I found your snake
If we weren’t sinners this might just be fate
Enfolding black roses, winds blow us here
Oh, how I won’t sleep knowing you’ll weep when I’m gone
How could it be wrong when it feels so sweet, yet so harsh?
Have you seen the marsh?
Bring me back to it, oh you’re so fit

Subjective Feeling
04:13
|
|||
I could right/write my wrongs all by myself (When?)
Any time I want without your help (How?)
How’d you think I’ve gotten this far without you?
Who do you think you are?
Love is a subjective kind of feeling
So don’t you tell me how I should be feeling about myself
And oh, your positivity is suffocating
What I feel is real and always changing, and I don’t need your help
I’m the one who’s always got a tone (Which kind?)
Those who sing, we all end up alone (Why?)
Every time I fall, I think I’m flying
Who do you think I am?
I don’t need to understand, I don’t need to hold your hand, don’t really give a damn

The Crying Hour
03:31
|
|||
Take all of this moment
When your days are lonely
And you're feeling low
And, please, never let it go
Don't let it go.
It may be the moment that
May never happen to you every day
Please, don't let it get away
And make it stay
Don’t forget all our troubles and sorrows
This is the crying hour
Scare away all the happy tomorrows
This is the crying hour
It may be the moment that
During your life
It never happened before
And you want it back again
And more, and more
Take all of this moment
When your days are lonely
And you're feeling low
And, please, never let it go
Don't let it go

Reflections
04:24
|
|||
I look through my window and all I see
A girl who's always dreaming, that’s all she needs
Why does she look at me so? I know, it’s my nose
I can't see past it, blast it
Before you know, you'll dream your life away
And I never wanna hear you say…
Go, waste the day
You’ll melt away into your song
But I see my reflection
I look into my mirror, I see horizons
What could I have been if I had won?
Glass is shattering to the ground, I'll be lucky if I'm found
My castles falling apart, my dreams will never be art
Before I melt away, I know that you're gonna say
This life is over with, next time I'm be real big
I don’t like being small 'cause there's no sound when I fall

I'm Not OK
03:44
|
|||
I’ve been feeling like I’m turning into something
You could never imagine, but maybe it’s always been inside
Guess I drank the poison, and I’ve got a confession:
I savored it ‘til the end, I just can’t hide it
Don’t cry for me, ‘cause I won’t for you
And I destroyed my being for the last time
I’m killing myself every day
And I’m kidding myself, ‘cause I’m not okay
I’ve been drinking lots
I’ve been thinking thoughts you might consider selfish
I couldn’t give two shits about you
I’m through with drowning in my own existence
Nothing remains if I just fly the fuck away, for real
I’ve got a new revelation: I lie to feel
I feel it crawling through my skin
Oh it chills so real
It’s been gnawing at me
Finally, I gave in
‘Cause I’ve been not okay
