nu haircut 03:23
u drift in2 most things, and i find it weeeird but i don't wanna, i don't wanna care, but yr energy still lingers in the air. and i look over, i look over there, i see yv done something with yr hair
2.
child of a- 01:50
child of a beast, dying 2 be set free stuck in the WWW., pleading on yr knees a child of privilege - desperate to distance yrself from the source, but never will be done (ofc) address me different (but yr still a child of) be in involved in art (but yr still a child of) be involved in 'community' (but yr still a child of) yr still a child of whence you came yr still a child of where yh came

stay safe!!! 02:25
alone inside, part of me i try to hide, you touch my skin, sometimes i can't feel the skin i'm in. a performance of sorts, a litany of self-defensive retorts, to keep me sane to keep me, to keep me safe, to keep me, afraid of myself living in state, desperately trying not to hate myself, a victim of circumstance, i wish i could circumvent the fate that was set out for me, can't u see how hard, how hard i try to want to live, and not to die when yr there, i appreciate u, but i'm sure, even yr aware, there's only so much u can do, and the same goes 4 u (and the same goes 4 u)

a problem 02:50
a problem with me a problem with this can't move my legs can't move my head stale and stubborn what did i do to deserve this what did i do to deserve myself it's you i care the most about in this (in this) a dramatic monologue, yr wondering when i'm gonna stop me, airing my self deprecation on our mutual clothes-line do i have any tact lat all? go and see a therapist, just like everyone else a problem with me a problem with this
5.
the itch is in other places, i try to reason, to relocate, the base need, but it is just no use. the itch is in other places, a jitter to shatter, a twinge in the elbow. a crack in the dominion of career. standing still, for just one more minute, but it is just no use.
6.
blame game 02:36
engineered to be something that i'm not always in the middle of a war i'll never win, continuing and never dying, it's a part of my conditioning. is it a part of my parenting? is it a part of the place i was born? take responsibility for it anyway i am guilty, guilty guilty, every day for something i didn't want, in the first place but at least you loved me for who i am, and not for who i'm not
7.
confidence in the bucket, thought about you but, fuck it rooted 2 the dirt leaving it would just hurt broken concepts of trust deliberation of contact is a must friends like a transfer nepotism, i'm damn sure yv undone a lace like this b4 standing like a piece of the furniture, constantly awaiting yr overture i wish i could say that this was the first time giving you another, on-top of another chance was my first crime it was my milk crime
8.
whenever i open the door, i still can't quite see the floor i go to move forward, still can't quite see the floor i can't go straight, no matter how hard i think i want to try some implied automation, a veneer to mask my frustration, a cis-tem that wasn't setup for me, it's not a place that i wanna be
