A bright light woke me up at two a.m. because I fell asleep talking to you again I am chasing circles in my head Alarmed alone, anxious, and afraid I’m thinking: “why is it that I’ve got to fall in love with anyone that gives me any bit of attention?“ And I know all the reasons But they’d be so scary to mention So, some nights I stay up and I get...Learn More

Papier-mâché flasks we’d never drink from Hand-made opaque masks you’d never think of An Adderall nightmare you couldn’t dream up And when the morning breaks You never wake up Escape the winter winds within the theatre; A poster pin-up girl, you’ll never meet her You know you won’t get Back your dad’s old sweater You got to remember that...Learn More

Red rover, red rover, send milo on over I haven't held their hand since early october And they’ve got my g.l.o.s.s. shirt but They mailed it back And it smelled like their sweat and The diner they work at Reminds me of 3am, southern Oregon Pulled over on I-5 to get even more high than this All the stars overhead should know better than this Your...Learn More

[Intro] "I'ma make this shit as Kimya Dawson as possible" [Verse 1] Call me kooky, call me crazy All my friends have fucking rabies Lice, and scabies, maybe, trust me: SCPD grunts are shady Monday Funday, cheesy Tuesday Farmers market money wasting Rid our coffee shop of wannabe-punk misogynist tailies This world is scary but that's okay If we...Learn More

You were born alive and well; You were just fighting for yourself in Kansas, 1985 You made peace with your parents — or the companies At least — when you bought them their birthday cards And you ran into their bedroom screaming “wake on up, it‘s morning! Don't just sleep the day away!“ And in 21 years, everything that you learned turns And betrays...Learn More

The blood from a peach runs down your chin Blunts on the porch, your skin on my skin Can we count it as moving forward if It's just a bolt bus to your house? We both know we’re gonna lie here Smoking till our lungs turn black Just us and our bitter hearts Looking at stars for hours in the back of your car And we grow tougher than we feared That...Learn More

April blooming, white jasmine spills over On to the worn out floral pattern couch Where I have been waiting Hey, kid, I think our vessel is sinking under the weight of our dark as black coffee spiked With cheap whiskey thinking I stand up at the front of your bed pull down the sleeves on my beat up black and white wool sweater squeezing the...Learn More

I am a cigarette in the front pocket of Your leather jacket and my life feels stagnant No matter how far you carry me I murdered my parents and all of my friends; It becomes quite apparent that my life will end With my head bashed in and bleeding Crushed beneath your boot heel We stand on the levee and my heart feels heavy . fuck, this isn’t...Learn More

I’m trying to stay awake riding back to The park in the trunk of a car in your jacket in your arms Nothing smears like my lipstick and talking shit On tall boys over tall cans in the dark I’ve never been that good at standing up to The way that people treat me but I sure as hell can tell what you mean when You're screaming at me that I will never...Learn More

[Verse 1] Freeway signs that I hid behind I had no idea what I was missing (Wichita) Talk your heart out and You know that I will listen Every year that passes feels like just a couple days You were passed out on the tracks When I had thought i heard the train And, so, I carried you through the thick and thin We were thick as thieves, we were close...Learn More

I’m feeling embarrassed I let the moonlight get the best of me I swear I was doing better Right now I'm just drunker than I meant to be Snow swallows up the puget sound beneath My feet six stories down Beneath blueberry wine and blunts telling myself “I’ll wake up from this nightmare, roll over to find Your soft freckled shoulders right there next...Learn More

Lately, I like to take walks after work wearing Nothing but my undershirt The wind picking up my eyes The blood rushing back to my heart There’s a show on the corner with Some kids I met in Oakland You’re sitting on the roof of your car Parked right outside the record store Have you seen my self-esteem? It’s picking up it’s feet out of the Gutter...Learn More
