contact tetherball
uh
say i could go it alone
on my own
never smoke weed, never get stoned
without you
but i'd really prefer not to
say i could go
out to so-called nova scotia but i just stay home
couch-locked with you
i'll quit you someday i swear it's true
but for now your contact high is what pulls me through
if i chose i could take that straight road
so narrow
no room for two, striking out alone
without you
if i wanted to i could take a hike
a lunchbox of tofurkey and a hollow appetite
alright, alright
but i'd really prefer not to
but i'd really prefer not to
but i'd really prefer not to

it's not ur fault
01:30
|
|||
|
remember it's never your fault
it sounds so simple put that way
but i recall rotten fruit, pillars of salt
do you feel shame when you pray?
the ocean parted
when we parted ways
i tasted salt then
the ocean dissolved me

rocks to ground
02:06

a sharpie and a napkin,
i listed out all the things i have to forget
like when i saw her so vividly
sitting across from me on the skytrain seat
and though it was empty, i swear that i saw her
oh would you believe me?
an empty sharpie and a torn up napkin
and rocks to ground me
they sink down, down, down
into the depths of my backpack
oh how i wish that we could go back
to when you were sat beside me
i carry rocks to ground me but ur holding me down
wish u were still here to lift me up like when u were around
i carry rocks to ground me
i carry rocks to ground me
i carry rocks to ground me
oh why did u leave?

unpredictable
01:32
|
|||
|
my fists are ready
i cracked our concrete porch
rolling around my knuckles are so sore
and too bare for this frozen air
but the weather's never fair
just like u
ur so unpredictable
unpredictable

suffocation summer
02:11
|

|
summer will be haunted
by a winter ghost
ashes
will fall like snow
i'll cough up dust
in the morning
n wonder where we go
when we choke
guess u'd already know
i'll step into the smog
to light up a smoke
not in memory
but in trying to let go
i'll watch the wisps dissipate
they'll still cling heavy to my clothes
like the lingering
traces of u
i'm choked up
ur just choked
i'm choked up
ur just

La-da-da-da-da
I'm gonna bury you in the ground
La-da-da-da-da
I'm gonna bury you with my sound
I'm gonna, drink the red
From your pretty pink face

Marceline, that's too distasteful!
Oh, you don't like that?
Or do you just not like me?
Sorry I don't treat you like a goddess
Is that what you want me to do?
Sorry I don't treat you like you're perfect
Like all your little loyal subjects do
Sorry I'm not made of sugar
Am I not sweet enough for you?
Is that why you always avoid me?
I must be such an inconvenience to you
Well, I'm just your problem
I'm just your problem
It's like I'm not even a person, am I?
I'm just your problem, well
I-I-I shouldn't have to justify what I do
I-I-I shouldn't have to prove anything to you
I'm sorry that I exist
I forget what landed me on your blacklist, but
I-I-I shouldn't have to be the one that makes up with you, so
Why do I want to?
Why do I want to?
To bury you in the ground
And drink the blood from your
Ugh!
