This is a fight song I wrote when at the height of my post-breakup anger. It's a cry of "yeah? I could take you." It's about fighting dirty. Do you want a war? I could give you one Do you want a war? It might be fun Polish off my halo Take some shine for yours Pearly wings aflutter Funnel tears from your eyes Do you want a war? I could take it Do you want a war? Your pawns might fall Polish off my halo Take some shine from years Pearly wings aflutter Funnel tears from your eyes

You know when you do something that you know is deeply morally wrong and you know it's going to make you feel worse and everything worse but your body just does it anyway? This is about picking up a notebook and knowing what it is somewhere in your mind but not listening to that part of your mind and reading one sentence and closing the book again and crying and breathing in sharply and realising all you were to him was a burden. "J felt stressed" that's what I wrote in your converted school notebook "J felt stressed" I guess I did didn't think you noticed noticed more my distress And I see you tonight boy and I think you sure look swell Did I make you upset? Did I push you away? Did I make everything worse? Did I not try my best? "J felt stressed" that's what I wrote in your converted school notebook When you left was it for the best and when you left was it for the best? When you left I couldn't talk There's a silence with you And sometimes a letter with your name Arrives at my door

Music video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTzjTFJqf_g This is about playing the texting game where you don't text because he hasn't text and you don't want to be the first to text (so you can find out if he cares about you) but he works full time and has a wife and a baby so he's probably not going to text you first and then you text and you have to apologise for being a bother but bringing up your feelings just creates more tension in an already tense situation. I wanna reach out to you But I know if I don't You won't Don't talk to me about silver linings But then I saw the weather

Music video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cszuyzkF0Fk Sexual abuse tears people apart. Rediscovering that I'd been abused tore my relationship apart. Sure, there were other reasons for the relationship ending, but I count past sexual abuse high on the list. Some of these are questions I ask myself: if I hadn't drank, would it have happened? The answer is probably not. So my mind goes in a spiral and says, "You brought this on yourself." Which, while untrue, is a hard thought to ignore. Did he ask for it? I think all my friends hate me Some days I think I asked for it Couldn't handle my drink Don't tell me anything Don't tell me anything at all We've just grown apart

Waves 2 02:40
Music video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cszuyzkF0Fk Captured, stripped, interrogated, tortured. I break easy, I capitulate. "Yes," I admit, "I asked for it." Finally, a talker I don't look good naked anymore Can't even look upon you Without feeling his hand Some days I think I asked for it
