You think you got me in a corner
But I’m dragging you down to my level
Sanctimonious, so high and mighty
There’s more than one way to end this fight
I’m not saying that I’m sorry
I’m just saying that you’re wrong
You wanna gaslight me
Make me believe I’m the one who’s disappointing
Try to disorient me with fight after fight but you’re afraid to be called out when you know I’m right
I’ve seen the screen, seen the receipts
I know who you say you love
How you lie about me
Tell me oh we’re just friends they just miss me
Tell me You didn’t spend my money on your drugs
Tell me You got it all fixed but here I’m stranded
Searching for scraps of love but it’s not landing
I’m not saying that I’m sorry
I’m just saying that your wrong

The old neighborhood
Where you live and cut your teeth
Full of strangers, hiked prices
Do you stay or admit defeat?
These are our streets
These are our homes
Break down the walls
And protect your neighborhood
Three times the rent for your
Next favorite roach motel
Say it’s money well spent
Two months behind and living in hell
The city claims a total success
Redlines, urban renewal
I see no progress when
Locals are bullied and screwed
Same old houses, new yuppie flavor
Will you wait for the bubble to pop
Or wait for exploitative exposure
We’re not in middle school
We’re not fucking playing MASH
where we can afford to live
Can’t be decided with a finger trap
Maintain this
We’re tired of fronting your mortgage
We live where we can afford
You buy where you can exploit us
You raise the price on our homes
We raise the price on your heads

Rug Burn

Sweep it all
Under the rug
Claw out your eyes
Bite off your tongue
That is your ignorance
Force fed broken glass traditions
From a heartless past
Chained to their hatred
Keeping their nightmare alive
What's to change when everything goes your way
No empathy, no second thought
Just sweep it under the rug
If it doesn't effect your life
Then fuck em, right?
If you're not the one suffering
Then it's not your fight, right?
Just sweep it under the rug
You'll be nothing in the dirt
We've seen you at your worst
If it's hell on earth then there's nothing up above
Waiting for you

Destruction Aesthetic
01:18

|

Waiting for the smoke to clear
Ignoring all damage done
Fragile foundation
Collapsing like a set of lungs from our
destruction aesthetic
New demolition, new walls propped and painted
Can you call a house a home
When you’re not welcome
Yellow jackets swarm inside
The space between the walls
Was it the venom that kept us together
Or we were waiting on a massacre
I broke the window when you locked the doors
Turned all the lights on when you burnt out
Can you remember the last time you loved me
Was this slum ever worth fighting for
Yellow jackets swarm inside
The space between the walls
Was it the venom that kept us together
Or were we waiting on a massacre

Taught Me Young

Mama said I owe him
Mama said be nice
Mama said don’t string him along
I said I don’t like him
We’re told to line up, pretty bottles in a row
While they shoot their shot
Tell me I'm replaceable
Teach me I’m recyclable
I can’t keep watchin this scene replay
Mama said all men are pigs
Then taught me I was their food
I’m done being target practice
Depending on your mood
Mama said a lot of things
Never taught me I’m worth more
Mama said a lot of things
Fuck that, I’m done listening
Splatter my nice in the back of a dive bar
Line me up like a bottle and shoot your shot
No matter how many times I crack and shatter
You seem to keep coming on back
I am done playing gun range for damaged men
I am not decorative
I am done building them up to get shot down
I am done
(I am done)
I am done
(I am done)
I am done
(I am done)
She taught me young
