Company (feat. kidgloves)

baby you wanna

give me company

but I know you're just a lonely honeybee

baby you wanna

give me company

boy you buzz round me again

to bite the hand that feeds

the stars are looking bright

oh brighter than I’ve ever seen

and you said that you would watch with me

the stars are looking bright

oh brighter than I’ve ever seen

and you said that you would watch with me

I got a candle

that I never burn

and I got silk and satin on

that I have never worn

if you come over

the bed will be warm

but I know I'll never sleep

and you'll leave in the morning

the stars are looking bright

oh brighter than I’ve ever seen

and you said that you would watch with me

the stars are looking bright

oh brighter than I’ve ever seen

and you said that you would watch with me

oh its a miracle we’ve gone this far I’ve got problems I should face them

but the light's still on

and I can’t save you

the spark in your eyes it comes and goes

through the cold windows

the same winter clothes

please let me in...

the stars are looking bright

oh brighter than I’ve ever seen

and you said that you would watch with me

the stars are looking bright

oh brighter than I’ve ever seen

and you said that you would watch with me

my screen is flashing

4am

you ask if I'm still awake

as if you know I am

you said you wanted

company
you'll have to find it somewhere else it won’t be here with me

QUARANQUEEN

White T-Shirt

and blue dreams

wake up, watch me sleep

our doomsday love story

I want no more than this

it's quarantine bliss

we're Mid-City royalty

Why'd ya have to be so lovely?

coffee kisses in the morning

feeding all my senses for me

don't let go without a warning

You're so patient and wise

that cinnamon smile

can fix any problem

Why'd ya have to

be so lovely?

sourdough is in the oven

feeding all my cravings for me

don't let go my quarantine king

Quarantine king

Quarantine king

Quarantine king

Why'd ya have to be so lovely?

taking all my nightmares from me

calm my nerves settle my tummy

let me be your quarantine queen

Quarantine queen

Quarantine queen

Quarantine queen

HOW CAN I TELL YOU

I fear that if I stop

I won’t catch it when it comes

catch it when it comes

how can I tell you I was once

good?

I was thinkin’ bout my hands

when I was a kid

dirt gritty in fingernails

and I was all smiles and calluses

a monkey-barring’ super girl

I told ya ‘bout my hair like a rat’s nest

runnin’ wild a feral child

nothin’ no one could stop me

nobody had taught me about sweaty palms

but how can I tell you
I was once good at this?

how can I tell you I was once?

how can I tell you I was once an optimist?

how can I how can I how can I?

I think I left it back in the Bushwick

sweaty metal subway cars

and the sound of the train

was my sleep machine

back in the city

pen on the page wasn’t an effort

effortless

suffering in my stuffy second story apartment was

happiness

but how can I tell you

I was once good at this?

how can I tell you I was once?

how can I tell you I was once an optimist?

how can I how can I how can I?

but then I got self conscious

and I ran away from it

nothing I wouldn’t second guess

maybe I’m just not cut out for this

and I couldn’t handle all the critics

and everyone was just so selfish

the hardest part was happiness

maybe I should

maybe I should just quit

but how can I tell you

I was once good at this?

how can I tell you I was once?

how can I tell you I was once an artist?

how can I how can I how can I?

how can I how can I how can I?

But I fear that if I stop

I won’t be fulfilled

I’ll just be distilled

How can I tell you

I was once

good?

DEVOTION

You set me high on a shelf

You’re prized possession

Your eyes are tracing me

Object of protection

But then I don’t smile

For a little while

So you smash me down

Down to the ground

You realize that you miss me

And you always wanna fix me

Stick me back together with cheap glue

I don’t need your worship

I am just a person

I am not your goddess

And I don’t need your devotion

don’t need your devotion

Don’t pray to me

No, no I can’t save you

I got no remedy

Except to tell you the truth

Tell you the truth

I’m not a sorceress

I’m not here to impress

And I’m not your muse

No I can’t be perfect

No it makes no sense

What have I got to prove?

I don’t need your worship

I’m just a person

I am not your goddess

And I don’t need your devotion

Don’t need your devotion

Don’t need your devotion

I saw myself through your eyes

Not my reflection

I’m good with all the bad now

My imperfections

I don’t need your worship

I am just a person

I am not your goddess

And I don’t need your devotion

Don’t need your devotion

Don’t need your devotion

 WALK SIDEWAYS

It is a parallel universe

and you did crawl out of your shell

this is why time doesn’t matter

because you always loved me

and crabs walk sideways

and time doesn’t move forward

you shifted your weight

to one side

I was always here in the middle

in this reality

I tell it to the pillow

I tell it to your hair

I tell it to your back

When you aren’t there

I tell it to my friends

I tell it to myself

and I know you know it well

Just throwing the idea out there to see where the

ball bounces

you were skipping the largest stones

over the shortest distance

so basically you’re saying it’ll take years to feel it

and yet I feel it shining through like morning light

I tell it to the pillow

I tell it to your hair

I tell it to your back

When you aren’t there

I tell it to my friends

I tell it to myself

and I know you know it well

oh that light

and in me it’s just dawn

it’s always the sun coming up

it’s never going down

I told you this

it’s consistent

it’s always been

since the fireworks on the fourth of july

I tell it to the pillow

I tell it to your hair

I tell it to your back

When you aren’t there

I tell it to my friends

I tell it to myself

and I know you know it well

I know you know it well

ONE OF US

So now you think that there's a part of you

Who could love someone or who could screw

Things I was tryin to rationalize

I just can’t let it overtake my mind

You tell me to give up the family

I tell you I’ll stay in society

Won’t follow you out into the wild

But maybe someday we could have a child

One of us one of us wants

One of us wants what the other can’t give

One of us one of us wants

One of us wants what the other can’t live

So now I think that there’s a part of me

Who could love someone or who could be free

But this picture always had you in it

Must be removed I have to live with it

One of us one of us wants

One of us wants what the other can’t give

One of us one of us wants

One of us wants what the other can’t live

It’s an age old struggle

I don’t know why I’m surprised

I don’t know why I choose this

When I know how I’m just gonna cry

And it’s an age old story

I don’t know why I’m so surprised

I’ve gotta swallow up my pride

Got to accept that you’re not mine

 MY FEARS

I’m seeing what I was so clearly

It’s like I never left

That long drive

Through the Hollywood Hills on Sunset

And I would use all my gas money

To get to him

You need speed to succeed

In Brooklyn and a bike

and I wanted to tell you I missed you in bed by my side

but I just whined

Try to make it seem like I have my own life

Try to make it seem like I have my own life

My fears are fluff to you

My fears are nothing they’re just

Right here biting

Forgot to tell you about the shooting

Shoulda made a list but then what’s the use

It happens almost every day

And you say dark things are happening every which way you look

And I said and I said too much

But it’s just a mantra

And I don’t know how to show you what it really means

That I need speed to succeed

I wanted to tell you that I missed you in bed

By my side

But I just whined silently

and I know you’re tired

And I know you’re tired

and I know you’re tired

Took four trains to get to you

considered picking up a tree

as a consolation

as if I was in the wrong

‘cause I didn’t wanna be right

try to make it seem like we just need some light

try to make it seem like we just need some lights

And I said and I said too much

But it’s just to myself

And I don’t know how to show you what it really means

That I need speed to succeed

I wanted to tell you that I missed you in bed

By my side

But I just whined silently

And I know we’re tired frankly

and I know we’re tired

and I know we’re tired

and I know we’re tired

and I know we’re tired

and I know we’re tired

my fears are something

my fears are something they’re just

right here biting

and you’re off on your bike and you’re riding
