Animals 03:12
Hide in the bathroom where you can keep it all together Cry to yourself until you start to feel better You're feeling like screaming but you just pretend Repeating yourself again and again, saying I'm so tired of these animals Acting like their skin's so valuable Telling me that I'm irrational I'm so tired of these animals Hide in the bathroom until you find your composure Lie to yourself until your fever starts to pass over Appealing to the widest audience Repeating yourself until it's obvious, saying I'm so tired of these animals Acting like their skin's so valuable Telling me that I'm irrational I'm so tired of these animals I'm so tired of these animals Acting like their skin's so valuable Telling me that I'm irrational I'm so tired of these animals

Losing Touch 03:24
I've been making plans, plans to make plans plans to make friends, and plans to make sense of these ideas that I seem to get stuck on I come undone in conversation getting hung up on all of the subtleties I overthink, oh my god, what's wrong with me? "Don't act so strange, just make eye contact Don't sweat, just laugh, react, talk back" I'm losing touch, losing touch, losing touch Telling myself To loosen up, loosen up, loosen up Telling myself, to hold on I can put on the best intentions and I can pretend just enough for me to seem a bit less unbearable I've been making plans I don't understand plans with loose ends that don't make sense and I can't keep repeating these routines I get stuck on "Don't act so scared, don't stare, relax Don't breathe so fast, just smile, it's not that bad" I'm losing touch, losing touch, losing touch Telling myself To loosen up, loosen up, loosen up Telling myself, to hold on "Don't act so strange, you'll be okay" I don't even know why I get so stressed out "You'll be alright, you'll be just fine" I know, I know "Ooh Loosen up" I said "Ooh loosen up, cause you've been losing touch" "Ooh loosen up" I said "ooh loosen up, ooh, ooh, ooh" I'm losing touch, losing touch, losing touch Telling myself To loosen up, loosen up, loosen up Telling myself, to hold on credits

I'm slowly boring her, and her mind is drifting on She's only waiting for, the first chance to turn and run I guess it was a little much, I never know what's enough She's finding little flaws in me She said she feels like laying low But I can wait until my blood runs cold She doesn't spend enough time alone She just don't like me, She don't like me Something changed in her tone but that was like months ago Last I saw her she was bathing in light Struggling to hide her cynical side And then she walked away, unchanged, unscathed Too late to say why she couldn't stay Last I saw her she was alright She said she feels like laying low But I can wait until my blood runs cold She doesn't spend enough time alone She just don't like me, She don't like me

Bury Me 03:50
I felt her breath crawl across my chest as she laid next to me I felt it creep in through my skin She wants to bury me, She wants nothing else She wants to bury me, She wants nothing else Breathing me in Just to breathe me out Breathing me in, Breathing me in I let the silence take hold, of its death grip on me I've realized that I can't hold the hand that's gonna take She wants to carry me, All the way to the cemetery She wants to bury me, She wants nothing else Breathing me in Just to breathe me out Breathing me in, Breathing me in She wants to bury me, She wants nothing else She wants to bury me, She wants nothing else She wants, she wants
