On The Run 02:50
we check into hotels just to see if I can pay put it on my tab, dear cry about it another day debt's overflowing and the bank is calling me I think that’s my cue now I think I should leave, cause [Chorus] I’m on the run I’m on the run I’m on the run while I’m still young I’m on the run I’m on the run I’m on the run cut out my tongue I’m on the run I’m on the run I hear your gun It goes, it goes, it goes, it goes I’m sleeping sideways I take sleep for the pain wake up at midnight and do it all again. and I can’t separate fiction from reality, it all looks like the same sort of tragedy take my money and I’ll take yours but know that mine can’t be used in stores cause [Chorus] streetlights your eyes dance to waste time why did I leave you at all? best friend pretend I’m in your bed why did I leave you at all?

woke up again as in had one of those moments where everything before this moment just feels like pretend and my hair is wet because I showered and half of an hour ago I was across State Line with my friends and I bought a slurpee at a gas station but it's full and in my freezer and I don't remember putting it there but it wasn't me who did it. no it wasn't me who did it, but I'm the only one here so it had to be me, but it couldn't have been me? but I'm the only one here, so it had to be me, could it have been me? oh it must have been me.

mother soon 03:11
I didn’t shave my legs today, I hope all the boys still love me I was born just yesterday, in the doorway, I saw you watching and I thought “was that the truth?” when I saw you, or was I faking? and if I made a mistake, tell me, would you stay my baby? would you stay my baby? If they saw me at my worst, would all the girls still think I’m perfect? If you knew my ugliness, my black lilith, am I still worth it? cause I knew you were my truth when I saw you, but now I’m fading and if I stay half alive and cracked inside until I’m 80. would you stay my baby? would you stay my baby? take me back to KC eat it and drink it silver spoon you’re gonna be a mother soon. fake it and naked with a view blame it all on the tv too eat it and drink it silver spoon weekend blues you’re gonna be a mother soon. make it and take it fake it naked with a view blame it all on the tv too. (and how well do you know your fingers? all mine are crooked at the ends didn't notice till I was 18. I’m always too late to the party I’m always too late to my body)
