Hello, hi welcome to my life
I’m just a regular guy
I can hang something on the wall
I can’t promise it won't fall
I can play guitar with my friends
I can smoke too many cigarettes
I can’t promise I won’t cough
Do you wanna go get off?
See my ex left me because I’m a dude
I even said goodbye to my boobs
I asked the nurse “do i look like a boy now?”
She said “why yes you do now”
I put on my two shoes
I am super cute
Don't know what i want to do
But i’ll sit here with you
I have been hardly thinkin’
About some hard stuff lately
I don’t know how to feel it
But i will sit here tryin’
Will you sit here with me?
You’ll listen intently
I care about my friends
I’ll run with you til the end
Do you wanna go get high
Sometimes feel like you wanna die
Yeah, i feel that way too
Let’s go sing the blues
Do you wanna walk outside?
The light is shinin’ in your eyes
I can see the whole way through
How beautiful are you
I’ve been tryin’ this new thing
Where i’m speakin’ honestly
And i think that i like you
Do you like me too?
I’m bein’ gentle with myself
I care about my health
At least when i’m with you i do
Cus i’d rather not leave you
I have been hardly thinkin’
About some hard stuff lately
I don’t know how to feel it
But i will sit here tryin’
Will you sit here with me?
You’ll listen intently
I care about my friends
I’ll run with you til the end

I’m a homebody
My body is definitely my home
I like to cuddle on the couch
I like to hold your waist as we makeout
I’m often in the woods with my dog
I’m into bad reality TV
Mostly vegetarian
Mostly T4T
Libra sun and Leo moon
My mom isn’t sure what time i was born
It was the late afternoon
Does that make me into you?
Or you into me?
We could get a coffee
Did i mention that i don’t drink?
What do you think?
Do you wanna makeout, makeout, makeout?
On my new couch, new couch, new couch?
Do you wanna hold my hand in public?
Be my real life dream?
Do you have tattoos, tattoos, tattoos?
Nothin’ to lose, to lose, to lose?
Do you love your life most of the time
but won’t be upset when i hate mine?
(more about me)
Anti-capitalist
Mostly anarchist
I can tell by the patches on your vest
that you might have a folk punk past
Maybe this might really workout
How do you like the brand new couch?
I’m kind of a guy, kind of a man, but also kind of a lesbian
Must like dogs
Must be non-monogs
Must believe in something bigger than us
All my life i’ve put someone else first
I think it’s about my turn
So i made a list of things that I wanna see in someone who’s lovin’ me
And I think you match them quite perfectly
What do you think?
Do you wanna makeout, makeout, makeout?
On my new couch, new couch, new couch?
Do you wanna hold my hand in public?
Be my real life dream?
Do you have tattoos, tattoos, tattoos?
Nothin’ to lose, to lose, to lose?
Do you love your life most of the time
but won’t be upset when i hate mine?

I don’t know you
But I think I know you
The you that’s in my head
The one I made up when you said
Hello the first time
I hope it’s not the last time
I’m stalking you on Instagram
Did you notice I added you to my close friends
I keep doing this
Making up a fantasy
The object I want you to be
And not who you are
I’m obsessing
Your love is a drug to me
But you don’t love me
Cus we only met briefly through mutual friends that time at the bar
But I swear your perfect!
Gonna solve every single one of my problems
The problems I’m making up for you to solve them
Cus I don’t really have that many problems right now
I’m actually doing pretty great by myself
And once we go on that first date
Maybe I’ll think you’re also great
Or maybe i won’t like you very much

Hey nolan
I wonder if you’re here now
I’ve been looking for you
I came to find you
To see if you’ll run freely
Do you want to?
I can picture you running to say hey to your friend
I can feel your footsteps, you’re walking so fast
At the lockers, I see you laughing
You’re funny and your hair brushes into your forehead, you’re cute as you smile and when you feel over it
And what’s the harm in bringing you to life
Makes me cry but i’d rather see your eyes
What’s the harm in bringing you to life?
Makes me cry But i’d rather see your eyes
I can picture you As you throw something in the trash
I can feel your footsteps A backpack on your back
As you get dressed for your gym class
You’re quiet and fuming and I want to be you
You’re sensitive and glooming and unaware
You run by breathing hard, you shake your head it’s nothing, I can’t believe how strong and capable you are you calmly laugh along as they make fun of your haircut and how you hold your wrist just like this
you get angry and as you think about the things
That make you you
Don’t worry honey, I’ll be here waiting
And what’s the harm in bringing you to life
Makes me cry but i’d rather see your eyes
What’s the harm in bringing you to life?
Makes me cry But i’d rather see your eyes
I can picture you laying in the grass
I can feel you shaking, brushing hands with him
I’m smiling, your heart is beating fast,
You take the bus home your heart is a flutter
You know that your life will be different this summer
You’ll sit on the swings and lay down with your lover
As you place yourself on top of the covers
And your lips will kiss his and he’ll leave you waiting
It won’t be the last time that you’re captivating
I just want to hold you and see how you’re dealing
Cus i care about you even though you’re not real and
I know we would have the same problems
And end up knowing how to solve them
It will get better I promise
I hope you can wait out the bullshit
What’s the harm in bringing you to life?
Makes me cry but i’d rather see the tears in your eyes
What’s the harm in bringing you to life?
Makes me cry but I’d rather see the tears in your eyes

I tried to see you on the day you died
It’d been so long but I got stuck outside
Thought of all the nice things to say
Couldn’t say them when the time came
Yeah I tried (x3)
I tried so fuckin hard
But all the words came flowin out wrong
I tried to see you on the day before
I knocked and knocked at the front door
I walked miles to the local bar
Told the barkeep I had not walked far
Yeah I tried (x3)
I tried so fuckin hard
To be the one you waited for
I tried to see you at the funeral
Flowers in my hand were blooming full
I missed the service cus I woke up late
I walked in and they had locked the gate
Yeah I tried (x3)
I tried so fucking hard to see you one goddamn last time
I tried to see you when I went to heaven
The gate was open wide, I came in runnin
I saw you standing there your eyes went wide
I swear I saw a glint in your eye (in your eye)
Yeah I tried
Yeah I tried
I tried so fuckin hard
And all the words came tumbling out right
Yeah I tried
Yeah I tried
I tried so fuckin hard
And I was all of a sudden the man you meant for me to be

I made a list of all the things I wanted to see
In someone loving me
When I met you I surely didn’t think
You’d be the one to fit them so perfectly
You help me see myself the way I’ve always wanted to see myself
I can’t believe I’ve found my love in someone else like you it’s so dreamy
When I look into your eyes
I feel like I’ve won the grand prize
The bowling champ of the west side
I can’t believe you found me
And I know it’s only too long before you find me again
I limit myself when I just want to sit in this feeling
When I think about your love for me I want to cry and feel relief
When I think about my love for you I feel like the best version of me
Write me a note I’ll save them all in a white envelope
Put them all around my home I hope
They can tell me how you’re feelin
Open up the box
I got a gift for you I thought about a lot
I hope you like it and I hope you think about
How much I care for you when you see it
And I know I’ll be writing songs about you for a while to come
I hope you’ll stick around so I can play them for you and you can sing along
And I tend to scare myself when I stare at the thoughts in my head
They’re just thoughts (x3)
I can see the reality in front of me
I can feel what you do to me
I can see you in front of me
And I know we’ve got a long way to go

I don’t want to be your fucking secret
If you love me then tell your fucking friends
Not staying in the closet you keep me in
I’m coming out like I’m an All Stars winner
I refuse to be negated
Standing quietly beside you as your pal
“We’ve been hanging out a lot” won’t do it
I need you to love me like I am
The best thing that’s ever happened to us
Why aren’t shouting from the rooftops
I don’t care what the bullshit excuse is
I feel like I’m a secret you regret
I wanna be the first thing you speak of
I want you to tell all the people you love
How much we’ve fallen the past few months
It’s so beautiful to be this fucked up
With every single thought in my head
I want you to be there instead
Don’t you want to share this feeling with them
You should be thrilled I’m so patient
I am incredible
You tell me you’re so lucky
Why aren’t you happy to share me
Makes me feel like I’m intruding

There are more of us than there are of them
It might seem scary but god we’d win
And their god’s not welcome in our new life here
Where we’ll tear down the fences of nations of fear
Yeah we’ll break down the fences of nations of fear
So we’ll bring them all to the guillotine
Presidents and judges and pigs
Wave goodbye to the old regime
We’ll be glad that we did
No mercy for fascists
They want our blood and we’ll give them blood
Oh bring them all to the guillotine
Their blood will drip
Hey!
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Say goodbye to the ruling class
If you disagree you can kiss my ass
When we put down our guns they pick up theirs
We’re bred as workers and we’re bred as mares
Yeah we’re bred as workers and we’re bred as mares
So we’ll bring them all to the guillotine
Presidents and judges and pigs
Wave goodbye to the old regime
We’ll be glad that we did
No mercy for fascists
They want our blood and we’ll give them blood
Oh bring them all to the guillotine
Their blood will drip
Hey!
Oh Oh Oh Oh

I wish you would’ve told me that you weren’t okay
So I maybe could’ve come to your house or your place
Or wherever you were staying on walnut st
I can’t pretend i didn’t know you were under my feet
All along
What’s the point of singing this song
When I know you can’t hear me
I wish we would’ve kissed
Just so I could remember how your lips tasted that night in November
But I’m glad I didn’t accept your advances
There was nothing I could do but embrace your hands
You would’ve died if I would’ve loved you
Anyway
You would’ve still died if I would’ve loved you anyway
All along
What’s the point of singing this song
When I know you can’t hear me
Can you listen intently like I would’ve listened
to you if I would’ve known what else to do
I’m replaying our final moments together
To see if I could’ve said something else better
I think the point is that you were unlucky
The hole in your arm wasn’t healed enough
You were alone when you died and I wish I could’ve held you
I’d rather be traumatized damnit I’d have
kissed you then
My spit in your mouth
You were my friend
It’s killing me now oh
It’s killing you then
Your forever I know you won’t ever be gone
I love you like you love the drums
A friend of mine told me your spirits still here
cus we’re talking about you as we drink a beer
I picture you smilin and laughin at me as I’m sitting alone watching TV
I know you would’ve made it if you could’ve stayed longer
Up on big stages I would’ve been your number
one fan
I can’t stop shaking my head
At all the shit you would’ve said
fuckin and drinkin and playin
I know you still hear me

It’s been a while
I know you probably miss me or
Probably not
I know we kind of left things open ended last time we spoke
It’s been a while
I’ve moved on now to
Wherever people go
Wherever people go
You left me
Everybody left me
I tried to be the best I could
Found out it wasn’t very good
I miss you like hell
Your brother as well
I heard he got married without me there
But this is about you
& how I couldn’t be there to do
The things you wanted me to
All that you wanted me to
I’ve changed now
I’ve figured out how
To say I’m sorry
God I’m so sorry
I always loved you the most
And it wasn’t always healthy
I understand why you left me
I’m proud of you
For doing what you needed to do
For being who I couldn’t be
For shining so damn bright
Angel of mine
Angel for you
Angel for you
I wish you could see me now
Playing the piano like hell
I came out to my dad
It wasn’t so bad
I’m singing every day
I always wanted it this way
I just couldn’t stop drinking
I just couldn’t stop being
How I was
I remember when we played catch
You were always so good at it
Remember when you got your fish
I’m sorry it ended like it did
I was always your biggest fan
Wanted you to always keep singing
I’m so proud of all you do
I always wanted to be like you
Your music is on all the time
I can feel every single rhyme
In the deepest places
God you always kept me going
I’m sorry that I couldn’t be there
When that fucker broke your heart
Mine was broken too
I wish I would have been there for you
I love you endlessly
You’ll always be with me
And I’ll be with you, if you want me too
I’ve changed now
I’ve figured out how
To say I’m sorry
God I’m so sorry
I always loved you the most
And it wasn’t always healthy
I understand why you left me
I’m proud of you
For doing what you needed to do
For being who I couldn’t be
For shining so damn bright
Angel of mine
Angel for you

Hell & Back

I started over, I’m 3 months sober
It’s hard to admit i’ve felt like shit
for the past year, i’m goin’ fast here
And i’m not sure where to start
Pickin’ up drinkin’ I started thinkin’
That it wasn’t the best for me to test
My limits, came close to the finish line
Of all i’ve ever done
And i think it’s time (to recommit)
To start over again
I went thru hell
Just to come back and visit
This healing isn’t linear
I’ve heard it all before
It’s hitting hard right now
I’m splitting open like a gourd
In the garden, that’s rotten on the inside
Will i go back to the soil?
Will i go back to the soil?
I’m sitting here waiting, for someone to call me
No longer alone in this
You bring me back to when i first started
Ain’t that some shit
I see myself seated up on the green grass
The wind gone thru the trees
I’m broken and worn thru, i wonder if you
Feel the same as me
And i think it’s time (to recommit)
To start over again
I went thru hell
Just to come back and visit
This healing isn’t linear
I’ve heard it all before
It’s hitting hard right now
I’m splitting open like a gourd
In the garden, that’s rotten on the inside
Will i go back to the soil?
Will i go back to the soil?
There is a patience, i can’t describe her
But she’s always there for me
Relaxed on the chaise lounge, i try to call out
And feel her seamlessly
Asking for help is easier said than done so
Will you help me?
Don’t know what i’m doing, i’m lost and i’m boiling over
I’ll make some tea
I’ll read a book, i’ll lay at your feet
Whatever you say it takes
I’m honest and willing, i’ll cut me open if you
Sew back the strings
This healing isn’t linear
I’ve heard it all before
It’s hitting hard right now
I’m splitting open like a gourd
In the garden, that’s rotten on the inside
Will i go back to the soil?
Will i go back to the soil?
And i think it’s time (to recommit)
To start over again
I went thru hell Just to come back and visit
I think it’s time
To start over again
I went thru hell
Just to come back and visit

Use me like capitalism
No gods no masters — but you can be both
Fuck me like the two party system
I want to be caught in your ropes
Work me til I’m sore
I will steal whatever I can
I’ll act like your whore
But the thing is: I really like it
I don’t need benefits
Throw a pizza party for me
I’ll grin and bear it
getting paid in cash & not reporting
Trying to unfold
Why your bruises feel like therapy
Sometimes a boy just needs a damn good beating
Trying to make sense
After this 10 hour shift I want to go back
Leave me on the clock for hours
I’m used to this I wanna go faster
Leave me on your cock for hours
I’m used to this I wanna go faster

I'm a gender ender washing dishes in the restaurant
Watching you misuse my pronouns, sure, they/them is plural for
Fuck you assholes! You should really get respectful
And look outside of yourself for once
I'm a letter sender writing to my friend in rehab
He was homeless few days later
Now he's shooting dope and fentanyl
God damnit I can't do shit to help if he don't want it
But I hope he changes his mind again
Will you be my friend?
Walk me thru the streets in the daylight?
Will you hold my hand?
I like the way your fingers feel in mine
I like the way your fingers feel in mine
I'm a meeting attender working through some simple steps
And asking for help, planning how to attack
Cause my delusions are doing push-ups in the back of my head
Waiting for the right moment to take me out again
We take action together, gain awareness of our patterns
Found a home group and a friend group, it's a good way to get better
And don't forget to find someone to confide in and a god who you can pray to, I call mine the goddess
Will you be my friend?
Walk me thru the streets in the daylight
Will you hold my hand?
I like the way your fingers feel in mine
I like the way your fingers feel in mine
Will you be my friend?
Walk me thru the streets in the daylight
Well you hold my hand?
I like the way your fingers feel in mine
I like the way your fingers feel in mine

I listened to this when it first came out, and then didn't really return to it... until this month. Listening to "You were Cool" realed me in, and since then the whole album has become a huge safety blanket for me - singing "up the wolves" to myself to get myself to stop crying on the bus, etc. etc. This is too much to say in a Bandcamp Review but I need to say it somewhere, this is gonna be one of those albums I look back on in ten years and think "that one saved my life"
