Can't get this idea
Out of my head
That I'm only worth the caution that you throw to the wind for me
If I scratch my name
Onto your back at least someone will know I've been here
Oh, I'm here
Writhing face down on the mattress
Hair pulled in your white-knuckled fist
Oh, do you want me now?
Want me now?
Want me now?
Let the neighbors hear what I like
Just tell me that you're mine, all mine
Am I someone now?
Someone now?
Someone now?
How will I know
If I'm enough
If I'm not being used up?
Keep the lights on
I still need my lines
A dream you'll wake from by morning
Hold me and close the blinds
Why was I born a defective model?
Not the kind of girl you can just cuddle
If I arch my back and bat my lashes
Maybe you can look past the buffs and scratches
I'll melt down my bolts and my plastic
Just mold me and hold me, I'm asking
You to stay here
Stay with me
Please don't leave
Just give me a job and I'll do it
I promise I'm someone, I'll prove it
Am I someone now?
Someone now?
Someone now?
How will I know
If I'm enough
When I'm not being used up?
Keep the lights on
I still need my lines
A dream you'll wake from by morning
Love me and close the blinds

Did you know that coin collecting is called numismatics?
I found a binder in my closet, didn't know I'd had it
There's a quarter for every state
I hadn't even filled eight
The world already feels big enough for me
I checked the quarters that you used to do our scratch offs
We got all duds, but I felt luckiest with you
If I had a coin for every place that I'd loved you
I'd have a binder full of everywhere I've been
I could be buried with those slots still unfilled
It wouldn't matter if I saw every rolling hill
If I couldn't glimpse at your profile out the side of my eye
I'd rather never, ever, ever see again
Scattered shavings dust the table as you focus
Scratching as I smile, the smell of your skin
If I had a coin for every place that I loved you
I'd have a binder full of everywhere I've been
If I had a coin for every place that I loved you
I'd have a binder full of everywhere I've been

I Choose You

You treat me so sweet
Even when I've got my feet
On either side of the door
You're there just like before
My mind won't stop
Making atom bombs drop
So guilty for thinking the way that I do
When I'm tangled up with you
And I try to stay through the pain
Uncertainty keeps me hostage
I chipped at love until I lost it
And I hate
Acting this way
Giving you all of the burden
I promise I'm trying, I'm hurting
Love's not just something you feel
It's something you do
And I choose you
Every day
Even when I
Feel like running away
And I choose you
Every time
Even when it
Seems like I'm losing my mind
I choose you

Tippy Toes (demo)
03:40
|

I'm not superstitious
But there's someone always looming
It tangles me up like ivy
Strangles the passion that is blooming
I'm haunted by the ghosts
The ghosts of all the girls who had to
Get on their tippy toes to kiss you
And I'm haunted by the ghosts
The ghosts of all the girls to who you
Meant it when you told them "I love you"
I'm scared that one day
You'll find a pocket-sized princess
With a heart of gold,
Less baggage and less body to hold
Took some girl pills and
I thought I was above it
I looked at my body
And I thought that I could love it
I know it's stupid
Because I'd trust you with a knife to my neck
And a girl in your bed but
Seeing you look down at her just fucks with my head
Because one day you'll leave
For a girl who'll give you everything I can't
Maybe one day I'll see that you'll stay
Not just despite but as a plan
Meek obsequious transsexual
Pretending that she's healed
With a stepping stone body
At the center of a minefield
I'll let you in to see just how hard I can push you out
Can't love you like you deserve to be
Can't love you like you deserve to be
I'm haunted by the ghosts
The ghosts of all the girls who had to
Get on their tippy toes to kiss you
And I'm haunted by the ghosts
The ghosts of all the girls to who you
Meant it when you told them "I love you"
And I'm scared
And I'm scared

The Girl in Front of Me
02:11

How do I how do I how do I
Have all my dreams come true before I even wake up?
(Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)
And when I do how is it that I see
The girl that never was standing in front of me
It all just feels so perfect
Perfect
Perfect
(So perfect)
To me
I know that I deserve it
Deserve it
Deserve
(Deserve it)
To be
The girl I see
The girl I see
The girl I see in front of me
I love the girl in front of me
I love the girl

Idk What Kind of Love
02:42
|
|||
|
I don't know what kind of love I'm in
But I wanna be in it with you
I don't know what kind of love I'm in
But I wanna be in it with you
Let's go!
Is there magic
In the air a spark or flame?
When you kiss me why do I still remember my name?
Heart in my hands, it'll drop and you'll break
At least the knife inside my back
Helps me sit up straight
Do I really want you
Or just want you to share the blade?
I'm so selfish, should I stay?
I don't know what kind of love I'm in
But I wanna be in it with you
I don't know what kind of love I'm in
But I wanna be in it with you
Some days I'd ask you to stay forever if you conceded me one more night
Some nights I sweat and toss and turn and wonder if it'll ever feel right
I don't know if this is love I'm in
But I wanna be in it with you
I don't know what kind of love I'm in
But I hope that I'm in it with you
In it with you
I don't know if this is love
But I wanna be in it with you

themme fatale New York, New York
im at the combination gender dysphoria and existential crisis, you want something?

themme fatale recommends:
Mitski is the one of the only artists that has ever made me feel consistently emotional while listening to all her music. Her lyrics perfectly articulate what I feel, usually. She's honestly a genius!
go to album
Literally all of her songs are great so I really can't pick just one. Her songwriting is probably my favorite out of many artists- she uses unpredictable chords, great lyrics, and is a great musician!
