Confession

I have something to confess
I have something to confess
I have something to confess
I have something to confess
I have something to confess
I have something to confess
I have something to confess
I have something to confess
I like a man who wears a dress, oh
I like a man who wears a dress, oh
I like a man who wears a dress, oh yes
I like a man who wears a dress, oh
I like a man who wears a dress, oh
I like a man who wears a dress, oh yes
'Cause gender is performative and everything is normative
And people are desirable in terms of what's societally 'in'
But times a-change and a dress is no more strange than
A woman wearing trousers which used to be so scandalous
I like men when they wear dresses yes oh yes oh yes

Leave Me Alone

I've got a personal contradiction
An internal juxtaposition
I'm sick of the company of my brain
But other people make me feel insane
Sometimes there's a voice inside my mind that says
"Give up now, you're never gonna find
Someone like you, you'll never be known
Compatibility's a myth and you're on your own"
And when I am feeling down
Or, in other words, most of the time
I try to find solace in sound
Strum out some bum chords and write it all down, so here we go
Whoa, I'm gonna die alone, alone
Whoa, I'm gonna die alone, alone
If I could confide, I am terrified
That my sense of pride is amplified
In the years to come, I could reject everyone
And carry on being depressed because I'm on my own
Drunk Hel will tell ya when she gets back home
'Cause she's brutally honest in all the notes on her phone
Let's not go there, please don't bore us
Put it all away, can we have another chorus?
And when I am feeling down
Or, in other words, most of the time
I try to find solace in sound
Strum out some bum chords and write it all down, like so
Whoa, I'm gonna die alone, alone
Whoa, I'm gonna die alone, alone
I'm romantically stunted and I
Don't wanna be wanted and I
Hate being confronted in person or on the phone
If you give me reasons why
You think I should give you a try
I don't care if you're a nice guy, just fucking leave me alone
I'm romantically stunted and I
Don't wanna be wanted and I
Hate being confronted in person or on the phone
If you give me reasons why
You think I should give you a try
I don't care if you're a nice guy, just fucking leave me alone
I'm romantically stunted and I
Don't wanna be wanted and I
Hate being confronted in person or on the phone
If you give me reasons why
You think I should give you a try
I don't care if you're a nice guy, just fucking leave me alone oh my god
Whoa, I'm gonna die alone, alone
(I'm romantically stunted and I
Don't wanna be wanted and I
Hate being confronted in person or on the phone)
Whoa, I'm gonna die alone, alone
(If you give me reasons why
You think I should give you a try
I don't care if you're a nice guy, just fucking leave me alone)
Whoa, I'm gonna die alone, alone
Whoa, I'm gonna die alone, alone

Urban Legend

Your love is like an urban legend
'Cause it doesn't exist
At least not to me, not certainly
Though I've heard of it
Yes I believe that your love is what folklore is made up of
I know I know I know, it took a long time for me to vent
You're probably wondering where all that lost potential went
And though and though and though, I went through years of personal torment
Yeah I'll call that, character development
Since when was it okay to throw your circumstance away
On a whim?
I got scared, I got nervous, I proceeded to ignore you
And turn in
Looking through your pictures made me regret everything
I know I know I know, it took a long time for me to vent
You're probably wondering where all that lost potential went
And though and though and though, I went through years of personal torment
Yeah I'll call that, character development
We both were young, we were not grown
And looking back, it's not so bad we were alone
It's different now, but I still care
And this is my way of repair
And so just know that I forgive you, but more importantly, I forgive me
I know I know I know, it took a long time for me to vent
You're probably wondering where all that lost potential went
And though and though and though, I went through years of personal torment
Yeah I'll call that, character development

New Year Baby

Please don't wander far away
'Cause I won't, I'm willing to stay
Midnight wanting, whisper in my ear
Tell me what you want and I will try to adhere
Is it nice to have me there?
If I wasn't would you care?
Midnight wanting, whisper in my ear
Tell me what you want and I will try to adhere
Hold me, kiss me when you go
Tell me, I would like to know
Midnight wanting, whisper in my ear
Tell me what you want and I will try to adhere
Just wait for the new year, baby
I'm hoping that everything will be fine
Just wait for the turning of the tide
Please don't wander far away

Like a blossomed flower
I'll fall to the ground on a breeze
Like a temperamental cold shower
Just touch me and I'll douse you with freezing cold water
You were warm to my touch
You were hot to my touch
Did I say too much?
Did I say too much?
Like a ball of string
Just keep pulling and pulling and pulling
Desperate to give and happy to take
So it won't be long before we make mistakes
You were warm to my touch
You were hot to my touch
Did I say too much?
Did I say too much?
I could use a simile but even so you would just know
Gotta write it down please don't frown why can't I shut my mouth
You were warm to my touch
You were hot to my touch
Did I say too much?
Did I say too much?
You were warm to my touch
You were hot to my touch
Did I say too much?
I think I've said too much
