Gina sleeps all day To keep away from talking Only leaves her room To go into the fridge So fucked laid out on the carpet Only leaves her room At night in the dark Oh Gina whats the matter with you Do you feel alright Oh babe ah your heads a mess Do you feel alright And I see ahh yeah that doesn't look good And i know ahh That that can't feel good And your beds a mess And your heads awry And you sleep all day And you sleep all night and you sleep all day And you sleep Gina sleeps all day To keep away from talking Laid out in a dent Feeling fucked Has a hole where There used to be a mattress Lays in bed pretends to die And hopes she will Oh Gina whats the matter with you Do you feel alright Oh babe ah your heads a mess Do you feel alright And I see ahh yeah that doesn't look good And i know ahh That that can't feel good And your beds a mess And your heads awry And you sleep all day And you sleep all night and you sleep all day And you sleep all night

KIM - Madam 04:01
Baby, pick up the phone Tell me you're not alone I've lost my way once more Meet me down on the floor Bring your paper, book, and pen You know how this one ends Pain's made us worse than you And it's time I saw this through Baby, you've lost your way Were Queens for all the days You're human after all Man only notes your fall So give us back the keys And get down on your knees Man descends all the way We've come to make you pay Pain's made us worse than you And it's time we saw this through Baby, it's all too much You know you're out of touch So give us back the keys And get down on your knees

let the glue set this hacked apart chair straight re-align its complex nature hearts make great performers of sitters nature hearts inspire action of sitters my eyes are sunken burning coals cool them hollow stars cool them to draw my tears from outer space

How far has it spread Sorry if I’m in a panic From his testes to his head What do you mean by metastatic? How far has it spread? Sorry to be so manic From his colon to his head Please say it’s not metastatic

Forget that it’s down / forget that it’s summer Lost in a cave / the light slips away No one told me that Those were the days / and we were not saved No one told me that Slowing down everything Slow impossible daybreak How do you get to see what you love / when the only way to stay safe is to stay far away? Long is the night / dry is the day No one taught us that Our feelings were strange / and we weren’t okay No one taught us that How do you get to see what you love / when the only way to stay safe is to stay far away? How do you get to feel what you love / when the only way to stay safe is to stay far away? Forget that it’s down / forget that it’s summer
