Therapy 02:18
Therapy old friend of mine I’m sorry I thought you wasted my time But somethings are better off thought and not said At least that’s what voices say inside my head — I’d get back together with you If I thought it was right to do But you pushed me over my limit You made the game so I’d never win it I tried to stay there by your side But I felt so small while you got so high I tried to every single time It was not hard to say goodbye I’d get back together with you If that’s what my therapist told me to do I’d get back together with you If that’s what my therapist told me to do But she said no, no, no, no-no, no-no She said no, no, no, no-no, no-no She said no, no, no, no-no, no-no She said no I’d get back together with you If all my friends wanted me to But you never knew how to take a hint You made me feel so insignificant Now there’s only one thing left to do I’ll wash my hands, be rid of you Cut my losses, through and through Cause leaving you, I had nothing to lose I’d get back together with you If that’s what my therapist told me to do I’d get back together with you If that’s what my therapist told me to do But she said no, no, no, no-no, no-no She said no, no, no, no-no, no-no She said no, no, no, no-no, no-no She said no I’d never get back together with you Fuck what your therapist says And fuck you!

Dog Days 02:06
You tell me about the shit that you’ve been through And you play the victim like you always do Why are you even there? Why do I even care? Oh, my dog days are done but your darker ones just begun I get nervous when you call me and tell me you’re fine Cause I know you’re thinking deep inside that it’s all just one big lie But I know better than to think about the heavy shit Cause I’m sick of it I’m sick of you and I’m over it You tell me about the dark shit you dream at night The air gets heavy when you mention that I was there Why was I even there? Why do I even care? Oh, my dog days are done but your darker ones just begun I get nervous when you call me and tell me you’re scared That I’m getting distant from you and that I really don’t care But I know better than to think about the heavy shit Cause I’m sick of it I’m sick you and I’m over it

Rough 02:59
Thinking back on all the things I should’ve said When you were here, when you and I were friends And now, stuck here, I just have to pretend If you were here, you’d help me out again But I forgot you did no wrong Bottled my feelings for so long ‘Cause I’ve been sleepin’ on a couch for the entire year And I’ve been waiting on my friends to all disappear And I’m feeling kinda rough And I’m feelin kinda rough as fuck (as fuck) Sitting on my hands, I worry how I seem To you, do I seem stuck inside a dream? Inside a broken, hallowed-out machine I want to be something you’d pay to see But till then I’ll stay at home I will never pick up the phone ‘Cause I’ve been sleepin’ on a couch for the entire year And I’ve been waiting on my friends to all disappear And I’m feeling kinda rough And I’m feelin kinda rough as fuck (as fuck) Oh, this mercury retrograde has got me down And these headaches make the world feel like it’s upside down And I’m feelin kinda rough Feelin’ kinda rough as fuck (As fuck) ‘Cause I’ve been sleepin’ on a couch for the entire year And I’ve been waiting on my friends to all disappear And I’m feeling kinda rough And I’m feelin kinda rough as fuck (as fuck) Oh, this mercury retrograde has got me down And these headaches make the world feel like it’s upside down And I’m feelin kinda rough Feelin’ kinda rough as fuck (As fuck)

Cut Me Off 02:03
Cut me off when you think that I am different Make me feel like I have really changed ‘Cause I know you’re trying to be better Always off, you’re always far away We’re losing trust in one another Making time to do all the wrong things I more or less just want to be together I wanna be something you wanna see I’m trying to be a better person I’m trying to be a better person I’m trying to be a better person for you I’m trying to be a better person I’m trying to be a better person I’m trying to be a better person for you Oh, for you

Sloshville 02:21
Forget what I said about talking again I don’t think it’s a good idea anymore I get that you need a sense of security But I can’t be what you need anymore I know it’s not the way you thought it was gonna be And I hope you’ll find your peace but it won’t be with me Forget what I said about being your friend I don’t think it’s a good idea anymore I get that you need a sense of autonomy But I can’t be what you need anymore I know it’s not the way you thought it was going to be But when you’re around me, you’re suffocating me Forget what I said about talking again I don’t think it’s a good idea anymore I get that you need a sense of security But I can’t be what you need anymore I know it’s not the way you thought it was gonna be And I hope you’ll find your peace but it won’t be with me I know it’s not the way you thought it was going to be And I hope you’ll find your peace but it won’t be with me

Grow Up 02:55
I can't think of a time when I was happy with the way I looked Maybe when I was younger But I can't remember, I was always hooked I just wanna go back To beIng a kid agaIn Don't wanna pay my bills Or go to stupid interviews To jobs that will just fire me In the end Don't make me grow up I don't want to grow u-u-u-up Make me grow up I don't want to grow u-u-u-up You and I both know that the best times are behind us now We’ve peaked, we’ve done our things We’ve got nothing to look forward to now I just wanna go back To beIng a kid agaIn No responsibilities A life without any worries Somehow I’ve got to make amends Don't make me grow up I don't want to grow u-u-u-up Make me grow up I don't want to grow u-u-u-up No! Don't make me grow up I don't want to grow u-u-u-up Make me grow up I don't want to grow u-u-u-up
