I don't know who you are
'Cause I don't know who I am
How can you know how to love
If you change your mind again?
I don't know who to be
Who do you want me to be?
Schizo, schizo, schizo (Schizo, oh)

Tell me how you want me
I'll do anything you say
You like to play a lot of games
I'll be your favorite toy to play
You know I'm waiting for your call
I'm waiting for your call all-day
I find you absolutely handsome
Whenever you walk away

And we got so many sides
I just can't seem to decide
You just can't make up your mind
La-da-da-la-da-da-da

I don't know who you are
'Cause I don't know who I am
How can you know how to love
If you change your mind again?
I don't know who to be
Who do you want me to be?
Schizo, schizo, schizo (Schizo, oh)

I'll tell you how I want you
You'll do anything I say
I like to play a lot of games
You're just a little toy I play
I know you're waiting for my call so
I'll just make you wait all-day
I like keeping you obsessed so
I'll just keep walking away

And we got so many sides
I just can't seem to decide
You just can't make up your mind
La-da-da-la-da-da-da

I don't know who you are
'Cause I don't know who I am
How can you know how to love
If you change your mind again?
I don't know who to be
Who do you want me to be?
Schizo, schizo, schizo (Schizo, oh)

I know that you love me
Something we don't have to say
How we're always entertained
With all the little games we play
I'm never waiting for your call
'Cause we don't need to talk all day
We only love a little bit
'Cause, baby, that's the only way

I don't know who you are
'Cause I don't know who I am
How can you know how to love
If you change your mind again?
I don't know who to be
Who do you want me to be?
Schizo, schizo, schizo (Schizo, oh)

Schizo

Hey kids, are you tired of eating fruits and vegetables?
Are you sick of taking your vitamins?
Fed up with brushing your teeth night after night?
Then tell your parents to take you down to Molly McDolly's Burger Shack
Home of the original unhappy meal
If you aren't satisfied with your meal
Remember what Molly McDolly says
"You'll keep coming back for more"

You'll do anything I say
When I talk, you believe it
Feed you bullshit all day
'Cause I know you will eat it
You see me on your television screen
You say my name so proudly
I could be the girl of your dreams
So tell your parents about me

Are you happy now?
Do you like being ignored? (ignored)
I make you unhappy now
But you keep coming back for more (for more)
Eat your heart out
Throw it up on the floor (floor)
Are you happy now?
Are you happy with your unhappy meal?
Are you happy with your unhappy, unhappy, unhappy meal?
Are you happy with your unhappy, unhappy, unhappy meal?

You wait at my window
Think you're so special
One milkshake then you have to go
"I've got a busy schedule"
Don't call me with your little bellyache
I won't satisfy your hunger
I don't remember your name
You're a ticket with a number

Are you happy now?
Do you like being ignored? (ignored)
I make you unhappy now
But you keep coming back for more (for more)
Eat your heart out
Throw it up all on the floor (floor)
Are you happy now?
Are you happy with your unhappy meal?
Unhappy, unhappy, unhappy meal
Are you happy with your unhappy, unhappy, unhappy meal?
Are you happy, unhappy, unhappy with your unhappy meal?
Are you happy with your unhappy, unhappy, unhappy meal?

What I want, what I want
I can do anything I want as long as there's toy in a box
As long as there's a toy in a box (in a box)
What I want, what I want
I can do anything I want as long as there's a toy in a box
As long as there's a toy in a box (in a box)
What I want, what I want
I can do anything I want as long as there's a toy in a box
As long as there's a toy in a box (in a box)

Unhappy Meal

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Just 'cause I bought a band-aid
Doesn't mean I'm able to clean the scars that run
Deeper than all my old demons that I keep under still water
Just 'cause you give me flowers
Doesn't cover up the smell of the dead body
Or raise the dead body of a girl who got shot down before

Just 'cause you crack the window
Doesn't mean I'm able to clear the air
That made it hard to breathe before you came around here
Just 'cause you say you love me
Doesn't mean that I'm gonna look you in the eyes
Pretend to be surprised, and say I love you back
(Love you back)

'Cause I'm trippin', trippin' on rocks
Cuttin' on my ankles, when will the blood stop?
Blue, blue knees
Fallin' for the next man who breathes

I need a band-aid recovery
Don't get too close 'cause you're really nothing to me
You're just a band-aid on my knees (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
You're just a band-aid recovery
I'll rip you off when I please
I'll rip you off when I bleed

Just 'cause I'm coming over
Doesn't mean I'll be there when you wake up
'Cause coming over doesn't mean that I'm over him
(Over him, over him)
Just 'cause you are my band-aid
Doesn't mean I want you to stick around
'Cause rebounds get washed away the next time it rains
(The next time it rains)

'Cause I'm trippin', trippin' on rocks
Cuttin' on my ankles, when will the blood stop?
Blue, blue knees
Fallin' for the next man who breathes

I need a band-aid recovery
Don't get too close 'cause you're really nothing to me
You're just a band-aid on my knees (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
You're just a band-aid recovery
I'll rip you off when I please
I'll rip you off when I bleed

Band Aid

I could pull the sheets over my head
And never get out of this bed
But what would that do?
I avoid all mirrors
'Cause I'm scared to look into my eyes
When I only see you

It's like you're always creeping
On the walls and in my feelings
All those stories about ghosts are really true

I put one foot
In front of the other
In front of the other
Slowly, I turn every corner
Turn every corner
Even when you're nowhere in the room
I'm haunted by you

I light all my candles
Light all my candles
The darkness is too hard to handle
Too hard to handle
Sleeping is just something I can't do
I'm haunted by you

I can hear you talking in the distance
Your persistence is so cruel
And all your words pull at my feet
And I fall back in love with you
What can I do?

It's like you're always creeping
On the walls and in my feelings
All those stories about ghosts are really true

I put one foot
In front of the other
In front of the other
Slowly, I turn every corner
Turn every corner
Even when you're nowhere in the room
I'm haunted by you

I light all my candles
Light all my candles
The darkness is too hard to handle
Too hard to handle
Sleeping is just something I can't do

We used to be so warm
But now we're just an ice storm
Slowly freezing up my heart
We used to be so warm
But now we're just an ice storm
Slowly freezing up my heart, heart, heart

I put one foot
In front of the other
In front of the other
Slowly, I turn every corner
Turn every corner
Even when you're nowhere in the room
I'm haunted by you

I light all my candles
Light all my candles
The darkness is too hard to handle
Too hard to handle
Sleeping is just something I can't do
I'm haunted by you

Haunted

All you do is complain
'Bout the things you lost some years ago, babe
Step on all those memories 'cause they're deadweight
But absorb the message, apply the lesson
When we die we take no possessions, no

You know it's hard when you hold me like that
Falling too deep and it brings you right back, oh-oh
If they were the lost one, maybe I'm the found one
You'll never catch a rainbow focused on an old storm

In the lost and found, in ​the lost and found
You'd be surprised what you would find
Someone's trash is another one's gold prize
Love is a risk, they are combined
But deny the rhapsody in our eyes

Pick up the pace
Eyes off all your losses and the past pain
Don't be scared of holding onto new things
I know you're jaded and a lil frustrated
Not everybody will treat you like they did

It must be hard not to act like that
How you gonna trust when you never learned that? Oh-oh
If they were the lost one, maybe I'm the found one
You'll never catch a rainbow focused on an old storm

In the lost and found, in ​the lost and found
You'd be surprised what you would find
Someone's trash is another one's gold prize
Love is a risk, they are combined
But deny the rhapsody in our eyes

Romanticizing short encounters is a coping mechanism
For past wounds
Fear infest the marrow of your body
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

In the lost and found, in ​the lost and found
You'd be surprised what you would find
Someone's trash is another one's gold prize
Love is a risk, they are combined
But deny the rhapsody in our eyes

Lost & Found

Why you always act so serious?
I said "Baby boy, you know I'm on my period"
Yuh, he bit the cherry down
He's delirious, seeing red figures in his mirrors
And acting like a real tough, furious
Blood swimming, turn him amphibious
He says he doesn't care, that he's into this
It happens every time the new season hits

Gettin' ready for my heavy daily cream
I keep it handy, womb shedding
Any lessons, making room for blessings
Juice melting like raspberry, pomegranate
It's so scary how my aura got him howling at my moon cycle, baby

Now he kissing on the ground that I walk on
Tryna get another taste, but I'm all cramped up
Pain like a plate on the front lawn
But I don't give a fuck 'cause I'm so strong
I don't gotta act, I'm a theorist
I could win a fight on my period
Matter of fact, right now, I could build a pyramid
You messing with my cycle, that is dangerous

Gettin' ready for my heavy daily cream
I keep it handy, womb shedding
Any lessons, making room for blessings
Juice melting like raspberry, pomegranate
It's so scary how my aura got him howling at my moon cycle, baby

Moon cycle, baby
Moon cycle, baby

Moon Cycle

Rarity I am, it's offensive
Got them on my tail and they're restless
Yearning to bottle up my sentience and transpose
Glowing green like heart chakras, melting
Pacing out my breath so I'm tapped in
Tuned to the station so I'm listening more

They come toward me
But I decide whose energy
Fits my complex puzzle piece
So wait by my door

An emerald from the sky, from the sky
You should know that
I'm polished and refined
Tumbled through all the roughage
I am no accessory
A locket or display will suffice, pinky promise
You'll cherish all my sides, all my cuts and my edges
I am no accessory

Fertile like the great Aphrodite
Youthful shine got everyone fighting
Green like nature, green like their envious gawk
Expensive, yeah, I'm hundreds of karats
Jewelers' mouths stay open when counting
Drooling so much that they are drowning in love

They come toward me
But I decide whose energy
Fits my complex puzzle piece
So wait by my door

An emerald from the sky, from the sky
You should know that
I'm polished and refined
Tumbled through all the roughage
I am no accessory
A locket or display will suffice, pinky promise
You'll cherish all my sides, all my cuts and my edges
I am no accessory

Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm

Emerald V2

Think it's time I cut the line and lift the blinds
And pull myself together
Took too long to move along
It feels so wrong to abandon all the effort

Bringing out the blade and trimming all the strands
Tying all the loose ends, pulling rubber bands
Thimble on my thumb, there's a mess when
Covering the blood on his hands
Can't believe I fell for it, turning all the screws
Never really worked, it always wouldn't do
All the corridors we went through
Only led me right back to you

As long as we're connected by thread on shredded fabric
Gonna wanna patch it, stitch it back together
Wear you like a sweater, baby
As long as we're entangled my feelings will unravel
Wouldn't it be easy? Fix it with a needle
Wear you like a sweater, baby

It's too hard, I'm hanging on just by the yarn
Uncover all the lessons
There's no harm in tearing off broken cloth
To sever the connection

Bringing out the blade and trimming all the strands
Tying all the loose ends, pulling rubber bands
Thimble on my thumbnails is a mess, man
Covering the blood on his hands

As long as we're connected by thread on shredded fabric
Gonna wanna patch it, hide under the covers
Hold you like a blanket, baby
As long as we're entangled my feelings will unravel
Wouldn't it be easy? Come back to the comfort
Hold you like a blanket, baby

As long as we're connected by thread on shredded fabric
Gonna wanna hang it, sew a tapestry
Stare at it forever, baby
As long as we're entangled my feelings will unravel
Why can't it be easy? Sew a tapestry
Look at you forever, baby

Needle and Thread

When I left all my baggage
When I healed all the damage
I got pulled like a magnet to you
Feels like home, it's euphoric
Made it out of the forest
Realigned with your orbit, déjà vu

Crazy how we made in different places
But we end up so close
Call it intuition, some people listen
Some keep their eyes closed
Takes time, happy that I took mine
Followed all the red signs, the signs

Magnets, coming back together, oh-oh-oh-oh
Got me feeling premonitions of us
Open arms like you know me
All our life comes unwoven
And our families are chosen
Magnets, mmm

Magnets
