Think I’ll take another fucking walk today To think about the things I want to grow And I’ll fill my house with raspberries, apricots, rosemary Pretend I’ve got a green thumb when I don’t ‘Cause I don’t Songs are tough and worn like mental jewelry I wear them like emeralds on my hands Like learning my own remedies Where words are pearls and melodies Is all the shit I keep inside my head I’m full of life But I’m so tired Am I a liar? Or just having fun? I’m high on life But I’m still tired I’m not a liar No, I’m just 21 No, I’m just 21 And I wear this blouse to show what I am offering It’s see-through, has a collar ‘round the neck And what my brothers think of me Should not be my identity I guess that I’m not used to this stuff yet And I’m full of life But I’m so tired Am I a liar? Or just having fun? I’m high on life But I’m so tired I’m not a liar No, I’m just 21 No, I’m just 21 No, I’m just 21 No, i’m just 21 No, I’m just And I could not fake it Oh I hate it when the sun goes down I feel so vacant I lie awake inside of my parents house Can they hear me now? I’m full of life But I’m so tired Am I a liar? Or just having fun? And I’m high on life And I’m still tired I’m not a liar No, I’m just 21 No, I’m just 21 No, I’m just 21 No, I’m just 21 No, I’m just 21 No, I’m just 21 No, I’m just 21 No, I’m just

I love you man. Um, I’m hoping you’re having an amazing day. ‘Cause it’s your birthday. You're an incredibly talented, special human being in my life and I adore you to pieces. So with that, I bid you adieu and I hope you have a wonderful day with your family, friends, I don’t know what you’re doing in this weird corona-ville but I hope you’re doing something fun. Love you man, hope to talk to you soon. Have a good one. She’s 21

Wasteland 05:51
Got this knock-off divination I put it in my tunes I’m on the corner of creation But never follow through I like walking ‘round the college The gates are painted green They got redwoods in their gardens But no sobriety These mosquitoes keep on sewing Their bites between my knees But my love is ever-knowing She spits ice into my seams I was talking to the barkeep With her streaks of silver-gray And she smiled and called me “Honey” And she turned my ass away ‘Cause I know what I’m seeing The wasteland is just a pit Of my own deceit God I’m too young to feel like this There’s a beetle on my screen door With iridescent wings And I’ll write him into my score So he’ll live eternally Summer’s looking pretty slack-jawed I take him by the roots It’s the taming of a stray dog And the kindness I mistook ‘Cause I know what I’m seeing The wasteland is just a pit Of my own deceit God I’m too young to feel like this ‘Cause I know what I’m seeing The wasteland is just a pit Of my own deceit God I’m too young to feel like this To feel like this To feel like this To feel like this To feel like this To feel like this To feel like this To feel like this To feel like this

Stick Around 04:46
Won't you fold your head into my knee That emerald bruise, it's on your cheek And I'll hold each breath you give to me Like peppermint and rosemary As I'm drowning in the river Somethings never end As the hand of god delivers This honey to my head And my friends, they're feasting softly They're teeth don't make a sound And I'd give them my whole body But they never stick around Sawyer, won't you call me sweet Put on my shirt, go slow on me And I'll stay here ‘til you say your piece Untie the silk around my knees As I'm drowning in the river Somethings never end As the hand of god delivers This honey to my head And my friends, they're feasting softly They're teeth don't make a sound And I'd give them my whole body But they never stick around Now I'm drowning in the river I know it never ends As the hand of god delivers And the hand of god will win And my friends, they're feasting softly They're teeth don't make a sound And I'd give them my whole body But they never stick around And my friends they're feasting softly They're teeth don't make a sound And I'd give them my whole body But they never stick around

Tangerine 06:52
And I never thought that I'd save my praise For the song-less prayer for the opulent days When I met my maker, looked him in the face For the lost return of my childhood haze And I never thought that I'd meet my match In a parking lot outside the pumpkin patch With your auburn hair, the way you tied it back So I left my date, didn't even look back Never believed anything I was told 'Cause my mother left when I was twelve years old And I slept outside under the old orange grove Eating tangerines for a sunken soul Soul soul Soul A little compassion is too much to ask Of the old white men buying books with cash Say I "take too long" so they're talking smack And I quit I'm not paid enough for that 'Cause I spent my whole life thinking I was wrong For questioning things, for writing songs For forgetting choreography I was shown For feeling the things that I've always known And there is so much that I'll never know Why this fox it follows everywhere I go From the church we pass into the grocery store Even when I ask, he waits at my front door Door Door Door Never had faith in my life before 'Til I found my god at the department store Where you worked the night shift and got off at four So I'd wait for you up on the kitchen floor And I think the worst part of growing up Is starting to hate the ones you used to love And you sit there staring in the dining room And you try to love them but they hate you too And you try to hate them but they love you too Think I'll make it to the pearly gates? 'Cause I know I've seen better when I saw your face Make Saint Peter crumble under all that grace All that good in you outweighed all my hate Yea, I think I'll leave, now it's time to go 'Cause I've slept in this grave 'bout a month or so And if I don't leave now then I'll never go I'll eat tangerines in my new found home Home Home Home Home Home
