Pulling Teeth

https://li.sten.to/compan-y

Lyrics:
I have so much of me to give
Laying on my floor like I did
When I was seventeen
I crawl into the sheets

Watching white lines on the road
Try to keep from crying
I hate the in-between
Of real life and reverie 

I miss you for you 
But I’m not sure that's how you feel too
I wanted you, and you wanted anyone
Anyone at all

And I happened to be there
In my head, you were everywhere
I liked the company
Laid out in front of me

When midnight passed, that’s when I knew
You couldn’t love me like I loved you
I knew I’d lose again
And lose my only friend

I think of you in intervals
Your name still comes up at the dinner table
I wanted everything, and you wanted to pick and choose
Pick and choose the parts that worked for you

And I swore I would fix you
And you promised you’d try
But I didn’t get to 
Because we ran out of time
And I swore we would make it
But you were unsure
You never planned to break it
Said it just wouldn’t work

I loved you, I know you heard me say
And you loved me too, but in a different way
You held me near, then held me out at arm’s length
Said you don’t love me, at least not that way
Don’t say you do if you’re not going to stay

company

All At Once

basement days

love me more

Into Your Room (Acoustic)

this track is called ‘Cassie’ 
> i redid this since i figured out how to master this shizazz

i wrote this song a few months ago and i’d say it’s my favourite song i’ve written. my friend, tracy, realised i barely write a song about myself and write about other people and their ‘problems’ but never mine. so she gave me a challenge to write a song about myself. i wrote this in pieces; 

two days after she told me to write about myself i came up with the first verse
> i was about to perform for my school with our band and i was extremely nervous

then,
i went to my other close friend’s house and we came up with the chorus together.
since we’re both indecisive, i thought it was funny to add a ‘ i don’t know ‘ and a ‘voice’ telling me/us that we should know.

and here we are!!! enjoy :)

lyrics:

verse 1
tracy told me to write about me this time
does everyone notice if i get back just fine
and if not,
can i cry?
can i cry on closing night?
or i’ll stumble
in the fluorescent lights

verse 2
i love the affection from those who could care less
running backstage,
just made it on out of breath
and if not?
will i fall
will i fall for the guests?
or i’ll crumble
crumble? like i would  confess?

chorus
can u see me through the glass window
can u see me with the words i wrote?
idk idk idk
ysk ysk ysk

verse 3
i guess i almost never have to take the blame
and yet somehow you love me if i can’t get framed?
aren’t you scared?
aren’t you scared if i’ll never get caught?
or just lucky
lucky enough that i’ll stop

chorus
can u see me through the glass window
can u see me with the words i wrote?
idk idk idk
ysk ysk ysk
can u hear me calling out ur name?
can u hear me?
im slowly going insane.
idk idk idk
ysk ysk you should

bridge
please dont mess up 
in front of them
in front of me
in front of your
two sided family
i really hate the insecure little me genre
“and you know it’s me?”
dont you?
is this not the same
for you?

what is she saying?
what should i be on about?
kinda reaches my head and exits out my mouth

chorus
can u see me through the glass window
can u see me with the words i wrote?
idk idk idk
ysk ysk ysk
can u hear me calling out ur name?
can u hear me?
im slowly going insane.
idk idk idk
ysk ysk ysk

after the holidays

Lyrics:

I look so stupid in this sweater
I’ll just keep faking it better
Look at them looking at me
Later I’ll be in my bed

Micky brought a pack of blue spirits
Thank god I want buzzing in my ears
How does she sing like that
It’s coming from the ceiling 

I wish I was something special
Cuz nothing they say would change
I’m gripping the kitchen scissors
Need something stronger than weed

I wanna know what it’s like
To breathe in & out of my mouth
To be here now 
I don’t know how I’ll ever be 
Somebody out loud 

Mariah’s playing on the tv
Diet coke, big coat, westerly street
Told them all I had to go
Chapped lips blew a kiss out the door

When I grow up I wanna be tough
Living to land on the moon & stuff
Not scared of big rooms
Not scared of you 

I wish I was something special
I wish this old clock would change
I’m calling the big car early 
getting the f*ck out of this place

I wanna know what it’s like
To breathe in & out of my mouth
To be here now 
I don’t know how I’ll ever be somebody out loud

I wanna know what it’s like
To be here now
I wanna know what it’s like
To be here now 
I don’t know how I’ll ever be somebody

Out loud - voice memo

a vm of a song i wrote months ago about pivotal events in a relationship always happening to take place on wednesdays ... and u didn't realize it until way after ... 

i guess this is kind of a continuation of the narrative of wallet picture song, because this one takes you through how i was feeling specifically a month or so after the events of that song

on that note ... happy wednesday!

lyrics:

skeletons in my closet
i’ve got quite the roster
of people that i’ve lost
limbs i’ve had to cut off 

used to need you like breathing 
i hate how i still react
turn my head back at the sound
my training’s still intact

and my body won’t reject you
and i can’t erase my mind
every now and then i’ll forget you 
and then remember the passage of time

it was a wednesday that i left you 
wednesday when we fell in love
it was a wednesday when i realized 
that when push comes to shove
there were risks you wouldn’t take
i think you loved me but not enough 
it was a wednesday i walked away 
and a wednesday when we begun 

i add injury to insult 
i can feel myself reaching out
but i don’t actually do it
i don’t know what that’s about 

i miss you for good reasons
my heart still feels linked to yours
i miss how it was easy
when the signs were left ignored 

my body won’t reject you
and i try tune you out
every now and then I’ll forget to
and how your voice is still my favorite sound

it was a wednesday that i left you
Wednesday when we fell in love
it was a wednesday that i noticed
when i started thinking of 
all the lines i didn’t think 
that you were brave enough to cross
it was a wednesday when you won me over 
and a wednesday when you lost
