When you open this door You leave the super market for a better planet I thought bathrooms were the best place to hide But I breathed in deep as I stepped inside It was cold and I forgot that If you wait it'll grow back If you wait it'll go bad The smell of potting soil is heaven on earth, love I touch the petals of their little severed heads between my fingers Their smell is lost in the surgical mirrors Closest thing to magic I know Makes you suffer, oh, why can't he grow. Much like washing dishes, I lose my soggy remembrances In a clean task I've lost a lot of flesh, probably for the best I want to take up the least amount of space possible I am a point, a point. I don't want to open my mouth and expose my ignorance to you I don't deserve this clean room If you wait it'll grow back If you wait it'll go bad I don't want to open my mouth and expose my ignorance to you Makes you suffer, oh, why can't he grow. Stop holding hands in front of me With your eyes all sad puppy I see your so happy I could be there, too I'd rather go to the flower room Such a coward, boy, why can't you grow.

It's funny what we'll do when we've loved and lost We'll go right down to the canyon To the first little shop Shell out all our coins for replacement parts Better vision, cleaner lungs, a patch for a broken heart You said you liked my squeal But I want a voice with mass appeal So I went to an underground surgeon Who fit me with these metal gears I know you like it hot But now I'm as cold as steel I'll give it everything I've got But baby, I'm not real. If I'd known you'd come back I swear I would've waited Now I wish I weren't fake I'm gonna be stuck here I'll watch everybody rot I'll watch them rot And when I'm finally all alone Bones You said you liked my squeal But I want a voice with mass appeal So I went to an underground surgeon Who fit me with these metal gears I know you like it hot But now I'm as cold as steel I'll give it everything I've got But baby, I'm not real.

I'm fine running life experiments by myself Fucking around takes time And these experiments won't run themselves I'm sorry I can't get involved I'm involved in experiments about myself Can't stop thinking about those times On starry loud streets We were talking about ourselves I know I'm right for you I'll submit my findings soon

Goon 02:59
I'm good at the angry songs And I'm okay with the sappy come ons But apologies I can't do I'm good at feeling hurt And I'm okay at dating jerks It's your soft sweetness I can't handle Now that you're gone I can love you Once you'd left I could finally treat you right You deserve all the pretty love songs in the world You deserve all the sweetest songs I can write I don't think that there's a thing I could say That would make what I did okay If someone else had done what I did to you I'd kick their ass and tell you that you're too good I didn't destroy everything on my own But I came pretty close Now that you're gone I can love you Now that it'll never be the same I can finally treat you right You deserve all the pretty love songs in the world You deserve all the sweetest songs I can write

You're Okay 03:34
This New Year, I thought I'd kiss you But hey, you're okay, and I can finally miss you I know I've been dumb ignoring your phone calls But we're all friends here Vidchat New York while snow falls Hey, we're okay I'm tired of the new year It's been done, I've been had It's been so long since I deserved a party Hey, we're okay

Spreading my arms at the edge of the world I'm in high school, high school And everything will decay Just like floating on magma, hurtling through space Standing on the beach at night Knowing, knowing just how small we are We can't function if we don't forget a second later A second too late That we are the sea is calm tonight That we are digging our toes in to sand That we are insubstantial grains Forming something we can't see Melt into me
