I'm trying not to sink, but when I blink your waves crash around me.
I'm trying to find a way to be comfortable in my skin again. And I hang on to the words that you said, echoing in my head. Won't you make it stop?
And I long for your touch; it was always enough to make me believe, that you could help me breathe.
And you, you're not trying, to save me.
When I reach for you, you just look away.
And you couldn't care less, that I'm a mess.
Even with all we've shared in the past.
And I'm just getting sick.
I can't handle it.
I am trying not to sink, but when I blink your waves crash around me.

Nothing Like You Two

It took a long thyme to realize, I'm nothing like you two.
But somehow I'm your daughter.
How could Daisy be the product of such murky water?
It took a long thyme to realize, I'm nothing like you two.
I thought for the longest thyme I couldn't be different from you.
But there are things you say I know I couldn't utter to my worst enemy.
And things you do like leave the room, when all I needed was someone to talk to.
How could I be the product of such murky water?
And how could I believe the words of a loved one when all you did was turn and run, when I needed to be loved, Mom.
Oh I'm nothing like you.
My soul they say lights up a room, when I walk into.
I love always, endless, unconditionally, just like the way that you taught me I followed but you'd never lead.
Just leave me to figure it out, and fall to catch myself.
How could I believe, I'm anything like you two when you're nothing like me?
It took a long thyme to realize but I'm nothing like you two.
But somehow I'm your daughter,
But how could Daisy be the product of such murky water?

(Laughter)
(Okay were talking to her, okay. Uhm. Hi? I hate you)
I can't find my mind this thyme if I tried.
But who are you listening to?
(So talk to me, Stop hating me and be different)
The one that lost or the one that found you?
And I can't often tell the difference.
(How can we all exist and be okay?)
Years ago when I first felt me lose myself, I set out on a quest to make a map in case I lose again.
(It's been a lot of nonsense and i'm sick of your fucking shit)
And I just lost myself again today.
Camouflaged incognito thoughts they simply get in my way.
I was the one who taught myself to play, make believe and hide and seek with my own sanity today.
(laughter)
Who are you going to listen to?
And I do try to climb that mountain real, real high.
To see into the valley, through the shadows, the places I have been. Who are you going to listen to?
(You're my best friend than anybody and my biggest fucking enemy. Oh my God I can't get away from you)
Is that you over there? Did I put you in a book, under a rock.
(I know i'm such a mess I'm sorry I'm so sorry)
"I don't know, Sis I'm sorry. I guess I kind of forgot?"
Is that you in my living room behind that owl clock?
Is that you under my pillow where I lay my final thoughts?
"I don't know, Sis, go ask you soul."
(Okay)
Way over in the distance I uncover.
Way over in the distance, do you see?
My mind, Its own thyme, swimming its way back to me.
Who are you going to listen to?
(So this is Kass?)

Devil's Song

I was lying on my bathroom floor summoning the Devil to come take my heart.
Nothing but rage and a candle glow came from my apartment.
Sage and anecdotes couldn’t keep my thoughts pure not this thyme, so I close my eyes and I summon the Devil one last time.
He stared into my soul and said “Are you sure you want to do this so young, you’re a beautiful girl you could figure it out down the road somehow”,
I said “I will stop you now stranger with your face, stop telling which side of me to embrace, you don’t know the cruel I’m capable of.”
A bit confused he said
“You just look like an Angel”
“Don’t you know I was born to replace the Devil.”
So he took out his book and he told me to sign with my blood, just like the others.
I remember the smell of a thousand dead corpses rotting,
and I knew this was the right thing to do with the way I have been feeling lately.
Now I can be as crazy as this life has made me.
On my bathroom floor laughing with the Devil,
he’s become my best friend,
Til I look around and I realize I’m sitting there by myself.
There’s a little bit of Devil in all of us,
sometimes you got to know what side of the mirror to trust.
Breathe, release, that beast.
You’re not half as crazy as you make yourself out to be.

The Exanimate Homo

I've never been concrete, like the road paved beneath my feet.
And inconsistent tendencies would surely be the death of Lady Daisy,
And so I try to find a subtle line they say it' smudged beneath the grime and,
I'll grow older everyday but not much wiser than the one who made mistakes.
Those who don't have much they seem to give an awful lot,
And those who have it all they only give a portion so small.
Leaving the poor to search for more, with metal detectors, on a sandy beach where the rich man forgot his wristwatches,
Things were once so nice, we'd hand them down more than twice, and now we throw away everything that China makes.
Oh God, when did this world start to be just as inconsistent as Lady Daisy?
I can't stand the moral code that came with this free land, and if you can, my roots can't.
And I refuse to grow.
Inconsistence tendencies would surely be the death of humanity,
Inconsistence tendencies would surely be the death of you and Lady Daisy,
Inconsistence tendencies would surely be the death of you and me.
