about

gardening track, obviously

lyrics

I wanna be gone, but there's so many things
--
there's an owl in my room, it's pecking at me.
so I can't write this email saying goodbye --
I don't know that
the words that I'm saying are alright.

I need to think logically:
if I throw myself into my community
I'll think less about my body
and the terror in my heart.

I'm scared to start gardening,
I can never stay on top of things.
I need someone to work with me,
to lend me their trowel.

why're you so scared of being alone?
I'm a handful.

I need to wash off my face,
if I hadn't braced and been there for me
I'd be chainmail bleeding by the lake,
cause you killed me with the engine brake.

I wanted you to be broken
as badly as I was.
I'm ready to cut that out,
I'm petty and I know that.

I'm a handful / I get manic /
My eyes are dead / I'm dramatic /
My throat is closing like a sheathe /
there's no excalibur coming to save Me /

there's a garland on fire,
woven in my dumb brain.
the cop in me must be
pulled up and burned like weeds,
Every Hour of the Day.
