{Verse 1}
Black jean queen, what’s your tattoo mean?
See your patience peeking through a loose seam
Rest your worried eyes, now you’ve got a drink that’s all warm
Pool table, stool fable, dull light shed at a pretty angle
Work your tired feet dancing ’til your soul is all worn
{Chorus}
You don’t know what you mean to me
And I don’t want to be your bad news
Infatuated easily, you’re brand new
And I know, My ego’s got me up in arms
And I could never say that I tried
So when you tell me nothing’s wrong, you’re so right
{Verse 2}
Hair dye in a sink drain
Did it drunk and left a pink stain
On the only white shirt that you had
Shoelace damp with cheap beer
Changing states every leap year
Leave some room for my heart in your bag
{Chorus}
You don’t know what you mean to me
And I don’t want to be your bad news
Infatuated easily, you’re brand new
And I know, My ego’s got me up in arms
And I could never say that I tried
So when you tell me nothing’s wrong, you’re so right
{Bridge}
“What’s it mean when it’s never enough?”, I said
I spun a web and been waiting for months I bet
My stomach hurt because you ain’t fall for the rush in my head
In my head
“What’s it mean when it’s never enough?”, I said
I spun a web and been waiting for months I bet
My stomach hurt because you ain’t fall for the rush in my head
In my head
{Chorus}
You don’t know what you mean to me
And I don’t want to be your bad news
Infatuated easily, you’re brand new
And I know, My ego’s got me up in arms
And I could never say that I tried
So when you tell me nothing’s wrong, you’re so right

Don't Sleep

{Verse 1}
I don’t want to go to sleep, I don’t want to go to sleep
Want to spend some time with you while you’re still in front of me
I could do it on my own, I don’t really want to, though
I could tell you all these things you don’t really want to know
I just keep it to myself. I’ve been good at that I think
I don’t want to go to sleep. I don’t even want to blink
That’s how I’mma loose you. I would be a fool to
Feel like you’re a part of me. I can’t tell, like, who’s who
I’mma try to stay awake. Don’t care how much drugs it takes
I can’t even play no more. If I sleep that’s my mistake
You can put it on me. I’ve been waiting all week
Now you finally call on me, don’t want to go to sleep
{Chorus}
I don’t want to go to sleep unless I see you in my dreams
You’re there when I close my eyes, I’m trying to find out what it means
Maybe you can help me out and show me what it’s all about
Put it all in front of me before I go to sleep
I don’t want to go to sleep unless I see you in my dreams
You’re there when I close my eyes, I’m trying to find out what it means
Maybe you can help me out and show me what it’s all about
Put it all in front of me before I go to sleep
{Verse 2}
I’ve never been this tired before
My disguise lets me hide some more
And my bed used to feel like home
Now it don’t
Wonder is I’ll ever learn. I got so much I never earned
Think I only love myself, but every night I toss and turn
Every night I toss and turn. Every night I toss and turn
Toss and turn, Toss and turn, turn, turn, turn, turn
{Chorus}
I don’t want to go to sleep unless I see you in my dreams
I don’t want to go to sleep. I don’t want to go to sleep
Maybe you can help me out and show me what it’s all about
Put it all in front of me. Put it all in front of me
I don’t want to go to sleep unless I see you in my dreams
I don’t want to go to sleep. I don’t want to go to sleep
Maybe you can help me out and show me what it’s all about
Put it all in front of me. Put it all in front of me
I don’t want to go to sleep unless I see you in my dreams
You’re there when I close my eyes, I’m trying to find out what it means
Maybe you can help me out and show me what it’s all about
Put it all in front of me before I go to sleep
I don’t want to go to sleep unless I see you in my dreams
You’re there when I close my eyes, I’m trying to find out what it means
Maybe you can help me out and show me what it’s all about
Put it all in front of me before I go to sleep

{Verse 1}
If my lips produced anything, my house would be haunted less
White paint peeling pitifully. Dull Yellow from cigarettes
Pine needles now cradle me, breath fleeing me fatally
Birds whistling gibberish, got nothing to say to me
And I get it I would too
40 bottle hollow calling me to follow through
Join with the clouds, I’m leaking steam to solid blue
And I don’t know what’s coming after but I’ll tell you when I do
{Verse 2}
Find me in the woods spent, lying in a creek bed
Thunder growling, raindrops kissing on my forehead
Reminds me of your face lit dimly in a basement
Poison in my brain stem, dormant entertainment
And I wish I had the patience
To wonder until the sunrise, wait until to dew dries
Knowing that your head lies a mile as the crow flies
Only makes the problem way worse

Suffering is Dumb

{Verse 1}
Coffee’s going cold, I’ll drink it anyways
Come to think of it I don’t drink it for the taste
Money in the bank is just numbers on a page
‘Cause I’m never really seeing what I make
I’m never really seeing what I make
I’m never really seeing what I make
I’m never really seeing what I make
{Verse 2}
Jealous of the snow that feeds the river bends
Purpose super clear ‘cause nature can’t pretend
Silent when I pray, I just do for Heaven’s sake
‘Cause I’m never really giving what I take
I’m never really giving what I take
I’m never really giving what I take
I’m never really giving what I take
{Verse 3}
Buzzing in the brush, lie lazy on my skin
Prairie grass will grow and claim my breath again
Lips will kiss the shade of the ripple on the lake
And I think about it every single day
I think about it every single day
I think about it every single day
I think about it every single day
I think about it every single day
I think about it every single day
I think about it every single day
Think there’s gotta be some other way
