Darlin when you praise me I 
feel like a holy ghost
love me in my flesh and blood
that's what I need the most

You say I'm the one and I
wonder what I'm the one for
I could rule the world it's true
but right now I'm laying on the floor

And it cuts to the bone
when you leave me alone
everyone says they're moving on
but I'm waiting til this feels like home

I used to want to be liked
more than I wanted love
older now I'm all worn out
it's the best thing I've given up

Hear my ugly laughter rolling
out from some darker place
I let me be a little beast
finally taking my own taste

And it cuts to the bone 
when you leave me alone
everyone says they're moving on
but I'm waiting til it feels like home

yeah I'm waiting til it feels
like home

Holy Ghost

if it was easy

lovins for fools

She dreamed there was a fire
the village was on fire
she went down the mountain to
try and put it out

It was a planned event put on by the little town
the people circled in their boats and didn't 
fear burning down

I made this so I can try to get close 
to the pain, close to the flames
without them touching me

I wanna hold it in my hand I wanna feel it in a way
I can contain

I'll believe in love until the sky falls
that's just how I 
choose to live
I'll believe in love until the sky falls
that just how I
choose to live

I'll keep saying am I late yet all along the walk like time might
up and change their mind bout how they move
hy do I keep calling my
capacity to love by your name

Mostly it's not a dream all those fires
mostly they happen somewhere far away from here
we curate destruction like we think pain won't arrive unless we cultivate it
but I swear it does

This could be the greatest prank you've ever pulled
pretending to forget that I'm your greatest love
I laugh in our tiny bed crying how'd we sleep here how'd I get so used
to your body being near
what a beautiful horrible thing

I'll believe in love until the sky falls
that's just how I 
choose to live
I'll believe in love until the sky falls
that's just how I 
choose to live

I'll keep saying am I late yet all along the walk like time might up and change
her mind bout how she moves
why do I keep calling my
capacity to love 
by your name
by your name
by your name instead of mine

I Can Contain

I didn't know I'd make a good wife
Didn't know you'd have a good life
If only you could find a way to settle down with me
I cleaned the house all those times a day
I wasn't making my domestic play
Just trying to find a space where both of us could really breathe
There's stability and lust
Excitement and trust
You say never the two shall meet
Oh you sweet little idiot
You dum dum
Good luck with the next one

Sharing the same toilet the same bed
Started to fill you with an average dread
You don't fear boredom baby it's the vulnerability
I was scared too of the everyday
Tried to ward it off with lingerie
But you couldn't open up enough to let me in

You cast a shadow resting on my mind
You can't have the power this time
get your own song to sing

there's stability and lust 
excitement and trust
and baby I know I can have it all
maybe not all at once
and you've got to show up
did you think this would be easy 
is that what we're calling love
cause I'm willing to work
I know I'll make mistakes
but if we don't try I'm left wondering why we're here in the first place
tell me why are you here
I guess you're not
you've made that clear
