You, you’re Nature’s Sun You make me fun You’re not like anyone else You, you’re Nature’s Sun You turn me on You’re not like anyone else I’m amazing, untangling away You don’t play by the rules of anyone else’s game Oh Nature’s Sun you know How to burn me slow, oh how to burn me slow But don’t be too late, don’t be too Don’t be too late, don’t be too Don’t be too late, don’t be too Don’t be too late, don’t be too You give me the bends I’m all loose ends You’re unlike anyone else But I’ve seen this before I’m keeping score You could be anyone else It’s amazing, untangling away I still play by the rules of everyone else’s game Oh Nature’s Sun you know How to burn me slow, yeah how to burn me slow But don’t be too late, don’t be too Don’t be too late, don’t be too Don’t be too late, don’t be too Don’t be too late, don’t be too

I dream about you every night Can you tell? And I couldn’t bring myself to write Are you well? Ah, kickstart your engine and fall White boy at a no-climb wall High school dropout happy hour Remake my mind I’ll listen to rap and smoke my throat black and hear you just like I should I don’t know a single thing I don’t know a single thing Don’t take me home, can’t bear to be lonely when I’m this close to good I dream about you all the time I can’t stop I think my body’s built you up a shrine You’re a god Ah, all imperfections forgot Human with no fatal flaw High school dropout happy hour Remake my mind I’ll listen to rap and smoke my throat black and hear you just like I should I don’t know a single thing I don’t know a single thing Don’t take me home, can’t bear to be lonely when I’m this close to good When I’m that close to good Oh, I was so close to good Let me know if I can breathe Let me know if I can breathe Oh show me how to breathe, please High school dropout happy hour Remake my mind I’ll listen to rap and smoke my throat black and hear you just like I should I don’t know a single thing Can you teach me everything? Don’t take me home, can’t bear to be lonely when I’m this close to good

Ooh Cut me a break I want to ache Pry me apart Ooh Folded in two Stuck on a mood Sick of a dumbed-down heart But I’ll be okay I’m doing alright Floating on nothing When I’m awake I’ll slip through the night Empathy-hunting Ooh Cut down this cloud I miss the ground Let me depart Ooh Then I can rain Flush out the pain Water my dried-up heart I’ll be okay I’m doing alright Floating on nothing When I’m awake again I’ll get in a fight Shoving and loving Bashing and blushing Glowing and gushing Vivid with color Perfectly trusting

Nerves 02:00

Still young Dishonest Getting strong Getting on it By eighteen I’ll be good, I promise But I have Other problems It’s getting bad Can’t seem to solve them Unextreme Doesn’t mean they choke me less Still young I’ll be honest I’m feeling dumb Not feeling on it When I’m queen Maybe I won’t be quite like this Aimless unease Don’t see the point in faking Weak tea knees Spill ‘cause you’re shaking Aimless unease No company required Weak tea knees Spill when you’re tired

Arrow 04:34
lyrics

I’m unwell My bones are brine I can’t help but Slip out of time So lost So strange Need a purpose, need a change Change Suck the heartache from my marrow Paint it on a poison arrow Let it arc into the sea Sinking far away from me Aim it steady, straight, and narrow I am sickened by this care, oh Please unravel all my pain Bring an end to this refrain I move slow Can’t be sped up, or I Overflow like A poisoned cup So weak Deranged Maybe I don’t want to change Change Suck the heartache from my marrow Paint it on a poison arrow Let it arc into the sea Sinking far away from me Aim it steady, straight, and narrow I am sickened by this care, oh Please unravel all my pain Bring an end to this refrain Reality is splitting at the seam But I like this kind of fever dream Suck the heartache from my marrow Paint it on a poison arrow Let it arc into the sea Sinking far away from me Aim it steady, straight, and narrow I am sickened by this care, oh Please unravel all my pain Bring an end to this refrain I’m unwell

Fire, meet gasoline This might’ve burned away my green Naked feet, so naive Unsupported self-esteem But now I’ve burned away my green All this hunger’s made me lean Girls bite back When you crack them Heart attack When you snap them Turn the sweet ones mean I’ll fight back I can bring you to your knees Fire, meet gasoline I think I’ve been all I can be Not my fault, wasn’t me I’m not the one who made a scene You’ve gone and burned away my green All this hunger’s made me lean Girls bite back When you crack them Heart attack When you snap them Turn the sweet ones mean I’ll fight back I can bring you to your knees All this hunger’s made me lean Girls bite back When you crack them Heart attack When you snap them Turn the sweet ones mean I’ll fight back I can bring you to your knees

Kick it til it dies Kick it til it dies, oh Lick up what it cries Feed the tiger on your insides Kiss it til it dies Kiss it til it dies, oh Take it by surprise Build a fire in your own eyes Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on Seems so right to Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on Rip right through you Feel your body stay It can’t run away Try hard as it may Kick it til it dies Kick it til it dies, oh Lick up what it cries Feed the tiger on your insides Kiss it til it dies Kiss it til it dies, oh Take it by surprise Build a fire in your own eyes Feel your body stay It can’t run away Try hard as it may Feel your body stay It can’t run away Try hard as it may

Quit my sighing And crying I’ll try to stand But I’m so tired Expired This is why I’m screwed up Why I shut up Why I go da da da da da da da And give up Da da da da da da Hide in the folds of Mommy’s skirt Living can be so unnerving Suck every thumb for what it’s worth Just a little shove and I’m no longer working Quit my lying Complying Let’s be okay now If it’s so easy Appease me Isn’t this why I’m screwed up? Why I shut up Why I sing da da da da da da da Self-destruct Da da da da da da Hide in the folds of Mommy’s skirt Life can be so unappealing Suck every thumb for what it’s worth Just a little touch and I’m no longer feeling You never let me be You didn’t let me scream Scream Now I’m old, so it seems Hide in the folds of Mommy’s skirt Living can be so unnerving Suck every thumb for what it’s worth Just a little kick and I am on my feet again Tatter the folds of Mommy’s skirt Tear it in a thousand pieces Can’t hold my tongue, for what it’s worth Just a little flick, I’m ready to unleash it

Soothe your wounds Bright as jewels Be kind to your blues The love of my life is relief The love of my life is relief The love of my life is relief The love of my life is relief The love of my life is relief The love of my life is relief The love of my life is relief The love of my life is relief Scared you’ll be discovered You can be your own mother Frightened of the others Red and cruel But here beneath the covers It’s dark and cool
