Bent Knee : Frosting
Teksty
1. INVEST IN BREAKFAST
I wrecked you on the record
You called because your neck hurts
You call me 'cause your neck hurts
You call because your neck's out
You call me 'cause your neck's out
I can't believe it
I can't believe it
I can't believe it
I can't believe it
I can't believe that in all the places I could run into you
It was right now when I needed you most, yeah
I can't believe my good luck that I met you, yeah
Give me the Pop-Tart (Popped)
Give me a deadlock (Locked)
Give me the nice house bought
Give me a face full of my foot
I blocked you from my black hole
You blocked me from your black hole
I'm feeling like a spice
I'm feeling like a spice
I'm feeling like oregano
I can't believe it
I can't believe it
I can't believe it
I can't believe it
I can't believe after all the days and wash basins
I finally feel clean enough to call you out, yeah
Give me the Pop-Tart (Popped)
Give me a deadlock (Locked)
Give me the nice house (Bought)
Give me a face full of my foot
We got lovin' rolled in batter
Cry over me, yeah, when we fold
I know it's not okay
Open up, look away
We got lovin' rolled in batter
Cry over me, yeah, when we fold
I know it's not okay
Open up, look around, ooh
Down, ooh
It's not cool
It's not about you
Give me the Pop-Tart popped
Give me a deadlock locked
Give me the nice house bought
Give me a face full of my foot
2. BABY IN THE BUSH
This
This is so far off
Off
From what I
What I believe in
This is so far off
From what I wanted
I watched you live
I watched you live
And it's no better
I watched you live
I watched you live
And it's no better
I watched you live
I watched you live
And it's no better
I returned to my mother in a ball
And cried, cried, cried in a song
I hadn't sung before
It was bright damage
Bursting off your voice
Your voice
I watched
3. CASPER
I cannot be a good one
It's where you're born, it's who you're born to
We all tuck in our shirts and get our hands to work in dirt we work in
I'm holding out for green lights
It's for my lungs, it's for my mom too
We all are sick of home but
Rotting in the ground seems rough
I'm tired, but tough
Hold me, hold my ever alone
Isn't it over?
Hasn't it slowed?
(I cannot be a)
Hug myself and kiss the mirror never alone
The thread of your sweater
Pull 'til it's gone
I cannot be a good one
It's where you're born, it's who you're born to
We all tuck in our shirts and get our hands to work in dirt we work in
I'm holding out for green lights
It's for my lungs, it's for my mom too
We all are sick of home but
Rotting in the ground seems rough
I'm tired, but tough
Then I get the feeling that I left for the Fall
I must have closed my eyes
I will soon forever know
But no
I can't even hold all I have
'Til then
I can
Hold me, hold my ever alone
Isn't it over?
Hasn't it slowed?
Hug myself and kiss the mirror never alone
The thread of your sweater
Pull 'til it's gone
I'm holding out for green lights
It's for my lungs, it's for my mom too
We all are sick of home but
Rotting in the ground seems rough
I'm tired, but
4. FIGHTING ALL MY LIFE
This guy
This fucking guy
Holding up traffic
With his fucking sign
My, my, a wasted mind
Seven times, I passed him by
I cashed in all my minutes (Ring)
I traded all my time (Tick, tock)
I get to drive real fast (Zoom, zoom)
In the traffic lines (Hey, watch it)
I get to bump, bump bumpers (Bump, bump)
I get to get home tired (Ah)
This guy
This stupid guy
Playing the lotto like he's gonna win it sometime
But no one is made a fool
Like the ones who wish for something new
Everyone's got it all figured out
Throw the ball, it's my turn now
Throw the ball, I'll tear you down
I'll tear you down
I'll tear you down
Fighting all my life for thе slice
I get it
You want it bad, but you will nevеr give it up
You turn me on my brother
Turn me on my friend
I got more in common with each of them
That's enough
Okay, I'll keep it light
It's not like I'm saying what everyone's thinking
Right?
Try as you might
To change my mind
5. THE UPWARD SPIRAL
The horizon is heavy
The water says it could be worse
The air says it will never change
An equilibrium of sorts
Grotesque colors that flex
Baring their teeth as they drive
I tell you I need you now more than ever
And you say
(Yeah)
And I say, "Well, yeah, but did you hear me right?"
And you say
(Yeah)
And I get this feeling that you're not really listening
And you say
(Yeah)
And I want to tell you that you are the line in the sand
And you say
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You have it all figured it out
You feel safe inside your house
You turn your head and look around
And realize I'm you
And you are me
And I am you
I'm complacent inside the crowd
Waiting for a pat on the snout
Frightful I might scuff up my brow
What kind of fucked-up shit is that?
6. SET IT OFF
I set it off
For the lies, for the hope, for the know
For the "livin' my own", yeah
I set it off
For the live, for the love
And the lure of going forth
Living nice, but I can't hold on for us
While you renew
And it's true, for I adore you
Once, whilom
But I follow my gold way
But who but you?
You win my heart
I'm ruined out here
Running on fossils and a prelude
I set it off
Would anoint a few role in the loft
And you're always zooming no one
Day of a mother's strength
And then you're daisy
But it ain't that easy, no
Set it off
7. PAUSE
(Instrumental)
8. HAVE IT ALL
I have fun at the beach
I have fun at the mall
I can gossip all night long
I look good on a man
See my face from the stands
Be a hold for your hand
Please don't go
They always say I'm mean
But I think I'm pretty funny
They're just jealous
I am gorgeous
They always say I'm mean
But I think it's pretty funny
That I have it all together
I have it all
I have fun being the bitch
I have fun against odds
I can roll my eyes past the stars
I look good with a tan
I get tons of new fans
And who can blame them? Goddamn
But please don't go
They always say I'm mean
But I think I'm pretty funny
They're just jеalous
I am gorgeous
They always say I'm mean
But I think it's prеtty funny
That I
Have it all together
I have it all
9. QUEER GODS
Give me a better guy
Give me a better, better guy
Give me a better guy
Give me, give me, give me
Don't get your panties in a bunch
I'm just saying what we're all thinking
It's tedious to play within
Predetermined roles we're all given
Don't you get tired of being the good guy?
Don't you get tired of being the dry eyе in the room?
Can't you see past the pink and blue quеues?
In the thick of the night, I pray to the queer gods
Give me a better guy, give me a better guy
Give me a, give me a, give me a better, better guy
Give me a better guy
Give me, give me, give me
I'm something ancient radiating 'round the shovel while you're digging
You find the bones and the little tomes, but not the meaning
Sifting through gems and calling them sand
You press my waves as I flow through your hand
From the earth and sea, I'm the sun and the night
In the shifting light, I pray to the queer gods
Give me a better guy, give me a better guy
Give me a, give me a, give me a better, better guy
When it gets colder on your own
Steal your breath, close your eyes
Heaven is wasted on the throne
When it gets colder on your own
Soaked in blight and cheap cologne
Knees to the dirt, eyes to the sky
Give me (Give me), give me a better guy
Give me a better guy, give me a better guy
Give me a, give me a, give me a, give me a, give me a
Don't you get tired of being the good guy?
Don't you get tired of being the dry eye in the room?
Can't you see past the pink and blue queues?
In the thick of the night, I pray to the queer gods
Give me a better guy, give me a better guy
Give me a, give me a, give me a better, better guy
10. RIB WOMAN
And then you find me
Just like it's always been
I take half of your heart
We'll make it easy
We'll agree and agree
Don't fall asleep on me
Do we stand at the shoulder?
Bring in the glow of young, supple heat
And untouched meat
Yeah, we know how to gussy up
Turn heads and pitch tents in any bed
My god, I'm more than
More than, more than a rib woman
Uh, too bad I'm only of you
You're like, aw, too bad you brought your big brain with you
I'm like, I merely wanna taste the fucking fruit
I am all that I am, I am all that I do
Uh, too bad I'm only of you
You're like, aw, too bad you brought your big brain with you
I'm like, I merely wanna taste the fucking fruit
I am all that I am, I am all that I do
11. ERMINE
(Instrumental)
12. THE FLOOR IS LAVA
Keys in the aisle, I hear my mama among the strangers
My favorite meal blue on my tongue
Sugar on sugar, the floor is lava
I fake asleep
So you will carry me
And talk so soft to me?
Lie in the sun
Potato bug
Rolled up in armor
Don't let 'em hurt you
You always have to know
You always have to know
What I'd do for you
Clothes in a pile
I wear your goggles
I gotta have more
Tears in my eyes
Singing by fire
I never felt more
Like other people
You always have to know
You always have to know
What I'd do for you
You always have to know
You always havе to know
I'm made of you
13. CAKE PARTY
I just got my pass
To see the ocean
Climbing
Climbing out of itself
It's enough to know I know I don't know
When enough's enough to notice nothing living in my hole
Oh, holy knowing god to go, I've got to go
Where God is never looking hiding in my home
In my home
Hiding in my home
Your final gasp
I watch you in your box
Not a clue you're being helped
Just the wound and nothing else
Hiding in my home
In my home
Here, there, over where
Ask where I belong
14. OMG
How close do I get to your face before
You push me back? I fall forward
We act surprised, but it's designed
Little pawns in a big war
Jenny at the store with nothin'
Jenny gets caught shopliftin'
Someone getting taught a little lesson
Someone stayed dead when they came down hard
Cannot be blamed for browsing
Cannot be blamed for arousing
Pieces past their prime
Pieces past their prime
Jenny in the club with nothin'
Jenny getting clubbed for speakin'
Someone's in the dark for the weekend
Someone stayed dead when they roughed him up
Cannot be blamed for a break-in
Cannot be blamed for resisting
Caught in a current
Mess up and lay
Lost inadvertent
Buck up and bray
Silence
Can you concurrently swear?
A truth and a lie
Bully a neighbor
Fess up and brag
Murder a lover and stay silent
15. NOT THIS TIME
Own up to your mistakes
It's the only way to move forward
You've grieved for the heartache
Try to build a time machine, do it over
There no debts to repay
All the guilt's a sham to keep you under
The risk always outweighs
A big change, of course
But now's the time, there's no reason to change your mind
I'm breaking free
I'm breaking free
I'm breaking free
Not this time
Sewn in by your worst traits
But just you wait
You're bustin' open
You're gaunt, baby, you're faint
But the whole of your strength
Bone wrapped in muscle
Why stay when it won't change?
When you know, you know, you know
You don't have to be told no
The risk always outweighs
A big change, of course
But now's the time, there's no reason to change your mind
You can't keep me down
Don't you dare
Change your mind
It will take all your might
Break some bones
Take some time
Fortify
