it's getting kind of hazy
it's getting so unclear
i don't know how i'll make it
through another year
numbing out for survival
is just a different knife
it's getting kind of hazy
in my life

i don't know who my friends are
who's really got my back
i don't know how to tell them
i feel under attack
i'm used to burning bridges now
i'll never shed a tear
i don't know who my friends are
year by year

i might be really broken
i might be full of holes
i might be a beacon
for other damaged souls
tell me if you know how
to fix my life up right
i might be really broken
in the fight

there's a little war on
and i'm on the losing side
i hardly get a moment
to mourn the ones that died
i mask my face and wash my hands
of other people's blood
there's a little war on
in the mud

i might be going crazy
i think i'm really sick
i think the world around me
must be playing some cruel trick
i never ask for help
when i really need it most
i might be going crazy
little ghost

ooooooo....

fairy folk for the end of the world

little ghost

chorus:
kiss me, hug me, tell me you love me
the pain will pass through us soon
keep me safe, keep me warm
we'll weather the storm
you'll have me, and then i'll have you too

the days are getting darker
the wind is getting stronger
the sky is as grey as can be
but remember, that always
that even on hard days
i'll love you with all of me

chorus

the sea is getting higher
earth's sold to the last buyer
what could the future bring?
but as long as i hold you
nothing can break through
we'll laugh, and we'll cry, and we'll sing

chorus

and when it's all crashing
this world is detaching
we'll sound our battle cry
that nothing can take us
and no one can break us
when i have you, and you have i

chorus

kiss me hug me

I'm a pansexual 
pangender Pangean
or, well, you could say a human bein
I'm well-rounded
but not all grounded
when the earthquake hits and splits
it all falls apart
I scatter my heart
amongst the people and places I've moved
all the tunes that I've grooved

the passion that burns within
I'm told it is a sin
to flip the script to pick the locks
to take a peek outside the box
I cross a line every day
that I say my own name
not the one that they gave me
the one my true friends say

am I a girl or a guy?
am I low or am I high?
well I'm gurl with a u
and boi with an i

huh
I guess it's a tie

I'm the alien boi
(with an extra i)
I'm all over the world
with my extra time
take me to your leader
I'd really like to meet 'er
I've got a few words to say

when you're too many labels for a label to stick
they ask me if I have a dick
as if it mattered how they'll treat me
as if knowing would complete me
in their eyes
I'll never be just another guy
so I look at them and lie
that I'm fine, that it's fine
because my pronouns are complicated
they're not demonstrated
my pronouns
are pronounced
like they/them
is that so profound
it's really got me down
"max you're such a brave girl
I could never cut my hair"
it makes me wanna hurl
but instead I just stare

huh
I guess that's fair

I'm the alien gurl
(with a u, not an i)
I'm all over the world
with my extra time
take me to your leader
I'd really like to meet 'er
I've got a few words to say

they told me to grow out my hair
"long hair on your head but the rest should be bare"
I live rare and rarely
not bare and bearly
I live my whole truth
not a fairy taley

built and rebuilt and built and rebuilt again
the Phoenix never ends
I rise from the ashes of my past
I'm not gonna last
getting uprooted, transplanted
I land a little slanted each time
I find a new rhyme
it's off-kilter no filter
I'm a quilter
I sew on pieces of me
see what I do
to hold on to me
will I ever be free
to come and go as I please
to not live on a lease
where there's no rent freeze
every year it gets harder
to just live on my knees
I'd rather die on my feets
than give in to these cheats
I wanna scream at the top of my lungs
like the greatest hymn that I ever sung
amen, all men, women, goddamn!
what's the plan?
fuck the man

huh
I guess that's the plan 

I'm the alien boi
(with an extra i)
I'm all over the world
with my extra time
take me to your leader
I'd really like to meet 'er
I've got a few words to say

let me rest my head
let me make my bed
let me paint my nails red
let me hear what i've said
let me get this off my chest
let we rewrite the test
let let let let let let let let let me rest my head

yeah
let me rest my head!

I'm the alien gurl
(with a u, not an i)
I'm all over the world
with my extra time
take me to your leader
I'd really like to meet 'er
I've got a few words to say

I'm the alien gurl
