Oh God

Oh God
Do I need God?
Who is God?
I've never had God
Oh God

I don't ever want to be alone
Maybe I should call my mom and say I'm moving home
I'm tired of saying bless this mess
But I'm too in love with Los Angeles
If I give up, I'll regret it when I'm old

Fucking off and watching trashy TV
Spending all my twenties not believing anything

Oh God
Do I need God?
Who is God?
I've never had God
Oh God

I used to walk around downtown at night
Start conversations with strangers when they'd ask me for a light
I was smiling in the face of time
I was a touch naive but it really felt sublime, subline

Fucking off at Starbucks, cold brew coffee
Spending all my twenties not believing anything

Oh God
Do I need God?
Who is God?
I've never had God

Oh God
Do I need God?
Who is God?
I've never had God
Oh God

Bad Thing

Wake up, hand upon my forehead
Can't believe this is the way I live
Even now
Still somehow
Told my mom it was the last time
Told myself maybe it's okay
One more time
One more time

I don't wanna call first thing in the morning
Desperate for help to feel normal
Over and over and over again
I keep doing bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
I did a bad thing
I wasn't thinking
I did a bad thing
I wasn't thinking

Get caught in empty conversation
Fake friends and chemical temptations
Turn them down
Turn them down
This time I will take it slowly
Say no to everything I don't need
Turn it down
Turn it down

I don't wanna call first thing in the morning
Desperate for help to feel normal
Over and over and over again
I keep doing bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
I did a bad thing
I wasn't thinking
I did a bad thing
I wasn't thinking

Ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha

I don't ever, ever, ever wanna go to sleep
I, I, I don't ever, ever, ever wanna to go to sleep
I, I, I don't ever, ever, ever wanna to go to sleep
'Cause I want more and I want more
Until I wake up, turn around

And I did a bad thing
I did a bad thing
Over and over and over again
Over and over and over again
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha (again)
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Over and over and over again
Over and over and over and over again

Nothing to See

I know you've been talking to girls on the internet
She's only nineteen and I can't compete with that
I've been trying to change the way I look so you like what you see
I've been losing weight so I can wear these Dolls Kill jeans

Why did I do that?
Why did I do that?
Nothing has changed, I'm just sad and in pain
Said, I would never be desperate
Look at me
Why did I do that?
Why did I do that?
Now I'm wearing black 'cause you like me like that
Said, I would never be desperate
Look at me
There's nothing to see here
There's nothing to see

My mom was relieved when she heard I was through with you
But my heart still stops when I see a green Subaru
You told me that you loved me but you mispronounced my name
I never corrected you, 'cause I didn't wanna push you away

Why did I do that?
Why did I do that?
Nothing has changed, I'm just sad and in pain
Said, I would never be desperate
Look at me
Why did I do that?
Why did I do that?
Now I'm wearing black 'cause you like me like that
Said, I would never be desperate
Look at me
There's nothing to see here
There's nothing to see here
There's nothing to see here
There's nothing to see here
There's nothing to see 

There's nothing to see here
There's nothing to see here

Why did I do that?
Why did I do that?
Nothing has changed, I'm just sad and in pain
Said, I would never be desperate
Look at me
Why did I do that?
Why did I do that?
Now I'm wearing black 'cause you like me like that
Said, I would never be desperate
Look at me
There's nothing to see here
There's nothing to see here
There's nothing to see

Mommy

My mother keeps secrets like a ghost
I ask her what her parents were like
She says that she doesn't know, I
Find that hard to believe
If someone asked me to describe her
I'd recall everything

Mommy liked fried chicken
Mommy liked to eat slow
Mommy said the best part of leaving was to come home
Mommy never laughed when the joke wasn't funny
Mommy gave me jars of orange blossom honey

Please tell me what makes this life mine
Maybe it is obvious
But can you explain one more time?
If I am the kin of my kin
Where do my parents end and where do I begin?

Daddy always worked hard
Daddy always woke up
Earlier than everybody else
He didn't sleep much
Daddy always wanted everyone to like him
I think I'm just like him
I think I'm just like him

Mommy liked fried chicken
Mommy liked to eat slow
Mommy said the best part of leaving was to come home
Mommy never laughed when the joke wasn't funny

Cockroach

Crush me under the weight
Bitterness, jealousy, hate
'Cause I'm a fucking cockroach
And you can't kill me
I'm a fuckin' cockroach
And you can't kill me

Crush me, crush me
Crush me, crush me (crush me)
Crush me (crush me), crush me
Crush me (crush me), crush me

Crush me, crush me
Crush me, crush me

Ordinary

I put my t-shirt on
Look at myself and yawn
Is it okay to be ordinary?

I take chemicals
To try to be more whole
Maybe a fractions all I'm meant to feel

I can't have it all
And I wouldn't want to
I can't have it all
And I wouldn't want to

You put your makeup on
I sit on the bed and watch
I love the way you care
Enough to comb your hair

I take my t-shirt off
I know it's what you want
I love your love for me
So ordinary

I can't have it all
And I wouldn't want to
I can't have it all
And I wouldn't want to

Our life is small but it's big enough for me
I don't need any fancy things, oh
Our life is small but it's big enough for me

I can't have it all
And I wouldn't want to
I can't have it all
And I wouldn't want to

I can't have it all
And I wouldn't want to
I can't have it all
And I wouldn't want to

Shortstop

I'm overjoyed to be home
Red eye to LA, through customs
But then I can't sleep at night
I'm always distracted by
Construction and street lights
And feeling alone

Climb Griffith park at sunrise
Somebody tagged the Hollywood sign
We all want to make it
Humiliating to admit
How much we need it
And how we're alone

If you don't smoke now
You'll be smoking
If you don't drink yet
You'll be drinking
If you don't dance free
You'll be dancing
Meet me at the shortstop
No need to come dressed up
Meet me at the shortstop

If you don't quit now
You're a dead end
Quit that Juul
Quit that drink
Get some new friends
Get your work hard/play safe balance
Meet me at the shortstop
No need to get fucked up
Meet me at the shortstop

If you don't smoke now
You'll be smoking
If you don't drink yet
You'll be drinking
If you don't dance free
You'll be dancing
Meet me at the shortstop
No need to come dressed up
Meet me at the shortstop

If you don't quit now
You're a dead end
Quit that Juul
Quit that drink
Get some new friends
Get your work hard/play safe balance
Meet me at the shortstop
No need to get fucked up
Meet me at the shortstop

If you don't smoke now
You'll be smoking
If you don't drink yet
You'll be drinking
If you don't dance free
You'll be dancing
Meet me at the shortstop
(Meet me at the shortstop)
(Meet me at the shortstop)
