Turning 02:20
Wish I was outside Wish I could make my bed in the morning Wish you didn't mind that my face turns red while I'm turning Wish I was inside Wish my face turned red in the morning Wanna be outside Then I could make my bed while I'm turning

Gem 00:55
I wanna find a gem wrapped in bubble plastic Oh that would be so perfect but that'll never happen Maybe there was one in my dirty coffee or my comfy blanket No that'll never happen (O, Doamne! iată-un flutur ce prin văzduh se pierde!)

40 02:51
It smells like silver in here where 40's on a shrine No, it's too hot, don't worry take your time Been in about an eon My dad got in in '59 Just here for the summer Feels like a crime What was that? I didn't hear ya Just talking to myself Could you help me? Not sure what I did or why you told me about your camping trip What was that? I didn't hear ya Could you please just say it again? No I didn't mean for you to hear this I wish I was the copper I wish it wouldn't start

Bug Bites 05:36
You make me anxious with your impatience and I'm just waiting for you to quit You make me nervous drinking your third drink No I don't need this tonight I'll turn the clock around Cause I'm not pretending no more I'm not falling down down on College Ave. no more No I don't plan on falling down You talk like Patton while playing Madden I'm past eighth grade so it makes me sick It's just so patently upsetting Your fumes are burning my eyes I'll flip my watch around Cause I'm not pretending no more I'm not falling down down on Greek Row no more No I don't plan on falling down
5.
Degree 03:50
I'm so bored Where's all the homework? I thought there's more than doing my chores I'm done with Celsius and Kelvin Now I'll wait for yours Learn to love my chores I'll take up reading as a hobby But not on those screens, those old fashioned things The clock on my wrist is too tight for it And I won't notice how I want it The clock on my wrist is too tight for it My arm just won't split how I want it

(For it might end, you know?)

I've got this class I hate Fall asleep every day I really try to stay awake But I can't cause it's just, oh it's just so boring It's just unfair That culture you claim to hate Don't participate We've all got habits to break Oh, but mine is just, oh it's just so boring It's just unfair No I don't like it, how I'm feeling about myself No I don't like it anymore than you No I don't like it, taking notes in this class called health No I don't like it anymore than, anymore It's just so boring It's just so so so No I don't like it, how I'm feeling about myself No I don't like it anymore than you No I don't like it, taking notes in this class called health No I don't like it anymore than, anymore I don't like it

Lethe 03:22
Why didn't you notice my skin or my red dress? Well the sun didn't notice just like the empress just like the empress Needle in the collar laying on your bed People at the altar praying to your head Praying to your head You never knew, you never know Take me down to the river Take me down
9.
Pure Braid 03:20
It's perfect, I'm not ready to untangle these distractions on purpose, something steady just won't stop telling me, "I can't focus on this fruition I can't focus on this foolish shit" It's a suspect and it's heavy, this screen with four pure eyes on purpose, something steady just won't stop bugging me I can't focus on this fruition I can't focus on this foolish shit

... 01:13
(That's the trouble, I don't know who to mistrust!)
11.
Molly Bones 02:53
Oh damn fragility, how dare you speckle your bleach upon Molly's bones and upon my spirit, my sinew? There's always some days that I'm without a home Oh damn humility, you're a nightmare, shifting my mood from red to gold You're an empty box of cereal in my timeshare There's always some days that you're without a home Oh damn fragility, how dare you speckle your bleach upon Molly's bones? Oh damn humility, you're a nightmare, shifting my mood from red to gold
12.
Bed 02:41
It's my turn to go to sleep now Pull the covers til I can't see out And I won't let them talk to me
13.
Gem Again 01:32
I wanna find a gem wrapped in bubble plastic Oh that would be so perfect but that'll never happen Maybe there was one in my dirty coffee or my comfy blanket No that'll never happen (O, Doamne! iată-un fluture ce prin văzduh se pierde!) But then it strolled in with arms and legs and everything and it walked right up and it said to me,
