Scared 02:22
As soon as i got home it was like everything was dying My hands started to shake again and i couldnt stop crying It felt like i was running out of time to do the things i wanted Live completely, work, be happy, walk around and not feel haunted By the things i havent done yet Graduate and go to college Try not to die in the process Use the time that i have got left And sure there are times when all i got is time But most of the time i just wanna go to sleep But instead of counting then i keep murdering sheep Because i've been having nightmares every fucking night this week! Sometimes when i wake up from bad dreams i cant move at all My body full of novocaine my back against the wall Creatures creeping halt my sleeping, shiver weakly wake up screaming, keep the lights off i dont wanna see the things in my dreams over me Puh puh puh palpitations And i start to wheeze Squeeze my eyelids shut and pull the covers over me And sure there are times when i feel like im in touch But most of the time i think too fucking much And when i think too much i care too much and i'd rather be pissed off Cuz my heart was on my sleeve and my sleeve just got ripped off! I grew up Thinking that i was fucked up Thinking my family's the only family that argues Wondering if im a boy or im a girl what are you Well thank god im done thinking And thank god my friends reassure to no end that my heads not caving in and im not shrinking Cuz im filled with so much love Im bursting at the seams My head is blowing up! Please hold me and tape me where i leak.

when will I fall asleep again Everything is beautiful but no one here is happy everything is terrible and I don't know what's happening When will I have good dreams again My bed is no longer my bed I cant feel my legs anymore and my sheets don't feel the same as they used to when will my hands be still again I've been trying to make myself better for a couple years now they say time heals all wounds but I'm still bleeding When will I fall asleep again

Cherry Pits 02:56
Fia: Hey Sky? Skylar: Yeah Fia! Fia: Do you remember that time, that you and Ruby-Joy were spitting cherry pits into each others mouths? Skylar: Yeah? Fia: It was that moment, when i realized, you're my best friend Skylar: Awww Swollen finger tips Palpitating hearts still beat My blood will still pump through Tell me all yer dreams Wind chimes can't sing without wind As i cant sing without you Like oil and water we're different in ways we think But like oil and water, you n' me We both wash down the sink Bruises on my knees mud in my shoes theres blood in the sink again Blisters on my feet wish there were more Cuz i just can't stay in one place Bugs r in my hair But thats okay I've got some friends to play pretend And if i succumb to this planet Will it be worth it Im worried god damn it Ill lay down in the dirt Pick the scum from my nails I don't need anyone's finger over the whole in my throat just so i can breathe I got 10 of my own I'm learning to be okay alone Sky: i love u Fia: iloveyoutoo

GCB 01:51
Acne braces highschool awkward body locker room Gym class blues, gym class blues Im sorry to all the kids with gym first period, but mostly to the ones in gym who get their first period*** I know its rough being in 9th grade 10th 11th 12th grade hating that you take up space Acne braces highschool awkward body locker room Gym class blues, gym class blues Remember to participate in stupid sports you probably hate With really awful cocky people making you feel less than equal Pick you last even for kickball Smash yer teeth in during dodge ball Gym class blues, gym class blues How many pull ups can you do? How good at capture the flag R U? Thank god my school cant afford a swimming pool Run yer laps and tie yer shoes Gym class blues HEY! (NA$TY JAM) ***literally this is a Carrie reference because im sure that fckin sucked

Angst 02:34
I, fucking hate my life Everything is so hard EVERYTHING BUT MY DICK IS HARD And time Where has all of my time gone Where the fuck is my time bomb Where the fuck is my mom And over and over are all of these feelings Of crashing and burning And cracking the ceiling Wasting all of my parents money Pretending im okay pretending its funny My dog's The only friend that I've got left She doesn't get upset when I can't out of bed Cause I don't even drink alcohol But There's a pounding in my head so I sit around and wait for things to fall in place instead Of getting up and going outside of the place that I live Fuck whiskey I'll take an existential crisis Over and over I feel like I'm fading My hair's falling out and my body's decaying Panicking over these things all so petty Bolted the door shut, be out when I'm ready My eyes Are infested with flies- and rodents, its quite malodorous The keys to my house are worn down the core Im never inside or out- i should just break off the door And why Why does everything feel wrong The only thing ive got is this song All the good things i had are gone Closer and closer my nightmares are creeping People avoid me and i cant stop screaming If youre looking for a sign this is no magnum opus Dont pry my heart open there isn't room for much Farther and farther we get from these feelings No longer exhausted my nerves r depleting U've been treated like trash but god damn ur my treasure Ur safe and i love u ill be here forever

about

Good rhymes about tough times. These songs got a lot of heart in em'. A big thank you to Odyssey teen camp for establishing such a warm and safe environment for us to create, preform, and spread our music. And thank you to all of the good friends and good counselors who encouraged us to make more stuff. We love you.
