The whole world wanted a text back from me So I said sorry babe, I was asleep The whole world wanted to sit next to me So I put my feet up on the seat And they moved on I was alright If you hit me where it counts One day you’ll knock me out It’s a fair fight Yeah me vs. myself Always too close to tell The whole world used to revolve just for me But come on Avery, nothing is free The whole world wanted to sit next to me So I’d rather complain that I’m so lonely And they moved on Hey where’d you go? So I call you It know, it’s all my fault But maybe you forgot Then you hung up When it doesn’t work out I sink back to the couch The whole world’s staring and laughing at me I got what I wanted and there’s no receipt The whole world wanted to sit next to me So I got up and I started to leave And they moved on And they moved on The whole world wanted to sit next to me

Cherry 03:59
You were my favorite vice I replaced you with another, and another and, another one I’m not even good at smoking anymore It’s making me cough I feel stupid as hell I should be going to the gym And take care of myself I should be praying off my sins But I’m so in denial, baby Parting oceans with my hands Take a match to my whole city Text my friends like, “What's the plan?” Waiting for the big bad thoughts to stop Play dead when I’m depressed I’m melting, I’m a mess You’re the cherry on top That was my favorite night Spilling whiskey in my lap Just to buy me another one I’m not really good at talking anymore Don’t make me laugh I feel lonesome as hell I should text you, “How you been?” Take my lipstick off the shelf I should be writing my next hit But I don’t want another, baby I want you to hold my hand Throw my old name in the fire Pretend that I’ve got a plan Waiting for the other shoe to drop Like a damsel in distress I’m melting, I’m a mess You’re the cherry on top Living like you’d notice if I stopped I’m posing statuesque I’m settling for less You’re the cherry on top

Blood 03:01
I bought a pregnancy test and rainbow hair clips At the Rite Aid on Saturday night I was so distressed I could cry And if I don't see some red I might Spent the morning in court Cause I ran a light The cop told me to smile How nice I go back next week The power of attorney in my veins What a sight I better see some blood I better see some blood I better see some blood Run on empty again Like my car does Trying to count sheep Since I woke up Boyfriend's texting me "Hey baby what's up" Well, work just kicked my ass I wish it kicked my guts I better see some blood I better see some blood I better see some blood I better see some blood I might take a selfie In the mirror tonight If my hair looks good If my outfit's tight But this one thing's Gonna kill the vibes I might hit someone Just to see some blood

Leash 03:07
Scrappy puppy, running all around Scrappy puppy, he just can’t calm down You better learn To walk the walk Who’s got your leash? You drag me on See him growing, now I’m too involved Owners start to look just like their dogs Who’s got my leash If I’m not smart Then I just might Look like my thoughts He barks and says I should just stay in bed Well that’s okay Yeah who am I to disobey? Getting worse and no, I don’t need help I can ruin my day by myself Apply white lies To yellow teeth See how it looks And smile for me If you want an out I’ll give you one right now Don’t be ashamed You ordered it so eat your pain Scrappy puppy, running all around Little puppy, get back in the house You better learn To walk the walk Who’s got your leash? You drag me on

Red 05:23
Sent out a mass text Like, can somebody hold my hand? I’ll go see the waitress She always understands How it gets out here Streets are packed but everyone’s in bed And red is the fire I wanna start instead Man I feel disgusted With everyone I’ve met Tracing the nightmare To it’s logical end Only then can I rest My weary little head And red is the fire I wanna start instead If you’re gonna scream Make sure that it hurts Chewing a hangnail The most stubborn of all Pulling my sweater Whenever it gets caught Hoping, this is it And I can rip you off And red is the nail bed When I get what I want If you’re gonna sing Make sure that it hurts Red flags can be white And red flags can be blue Any flag that you hold Is red to me, too I look left, I look right But I’m blind to the truth And red is the stoplight I’m always running through Red is the fire

My Last Name 03:30
The past comes around Showing itself to me again Asking about How badly I want this day to end Imagine all the times I should’ve died Letting a drunkard drive he’s Actually a good guy he Just wanted to give the girls a ride I think about you, it makes A thirty car pile-up of my day Traffic for miles, traffic for miles I think about you Another roadblock in my way Traffic for miles, traffic for miles So if you find a red hair on your pillow, Remember dirty bars and footprints in the snow Remember snooze alarms and Me, without my clothes Then make a wish and blow it away I think about you, it makes A thirty car pile-up of my day Traffic for miles, traffic for miles I think about you Another crash on the highway Traffic for miles, traffic for miles I’ll never know Just what could have been My last name Traffic for miles, traffic for miles

Walking with my pepper spray I dare someone to fuck with me Man I’ve had the longest day If you come close, you’re history Telling me that I look great As if I care what strangers think So check out my new pepper spray I’m not afraid of anything Weapons are drawn and they’re hot pink My eyes are wide Just incase (It don’t hurt to be safe) Get in my face Speak my name I’m well equipped I always carry My brass knuckle keychain Crying wolf too many times No ones surprised when I don’t die It’s every man for himself Yeah, even when I ask for help The moment I let my guard down That’s when the wolf comes back around But my knife and my pepper spray Will blind you for eternity Weapons are drawn and they’re hot pink My eyes are wide Just incase (It don’t hurt to be safe) Get in my face Speak my name I’m well equipped My mom just got me My brass knuckle keychain Carry my corpse in the parade I shouldn’t have been walking late Alone at night so late No, no one said that I’m to blame I’m just a number on a page The headline of the day An example to be made Ain’t it such a shame

Schlub 03:38
Just like cotton candy You want me cause you can’t have me Then you grow up and think How’d I ever stomach this stuff? I’m at every party I’m shots and then I’m sorry Then I throw up and think I could never stomach this stuff Which one of you schlubs am I gonna wind up with? Mindlessly sipping your Miller High Life Which one of you schlubs Am I gonna walk home with and then love? forever? ’til the day that i die? The day that i die Hard not to resent them The girls with all the money When I grow up, I think Maybe I could afford this stuff But the people need their cocktails And I need them to tip me When we close up I think How can this ever be enough? Which one of you schlubs am I gonna wind up with? The rings and the papers and the whole nine? Which one of you schlubs do I think that I’m saving? with my love? forever? ‘til the day that I die? The day that I die

I’m not gonna go and do the devil’s dishes I’m gonna throw ‘em in the trash Breaking glass just to teach you a lesson And get what attention you have left Am I a ghost to you? You don’t believe in me either Watching all this evil on the TV Sure makes a girl feel mighty fine Learning just how to not get killed is taking up all of my time Am I an alien to you? Why don’t I go back to where I came from? I could disappear, too Your little redhead apparition I’m not gonna go and do the devil’s dishes I’m gonna let them pile up You’ll wonder if I ever lived here And that is why I’ve had enough Am I a bitch to you? You don’t believe in me either I’ll be immortalized too Your little shitty bootleg Jesus You don’t believe in me

Wet Brain 04:00
I can see you in my dreams We’re drinking at Goldie’s And I’m 19 You’re laughing until You’re screaming at me You want some drug That I’ve never done I won’t get there until I’m 23 You’re screaming until You fall asleep (1, 2, 3, 4) Like Hemingway Spit in my face The ugly part Your wet brain One more sip of Reality Until you push Us all away Had my hair long past my waist Something to drag me by When you were afraid Nothing can fit In a life with no frame Too young to be so diseased But I was the baby And you were the king Sing yourself to sleep When I crawl away Like Hemingway Spit in my face The ugly part Your wet brain One more sip of Reality Until you push Us all away On holidays I celebrate Your final game Monopoly Rest in peace My younger days Somewhere below Your kingdom waits On holidays (Hemingway) I celebrate (Hemingway) Your final game (Wet brain) Monopoly (Wet brain) Rest in peace (Hemingway) My younger days (Hemingway) Somewhere below Your kingdom waits
