Is there something on the concrete Something fucking ugly scary And bloody Is crawling And screaming Some piece Of me that they can't believe There's something on the concrete! So if you don't get up and run Get up, get up Get up, get up Yea if you don't get up and run You'll see what I've become Is there something under your feet Do these bugs make you wanna scream They crawl and bite The worms can't ever die And you wont Sleep tonight while your blood is their feast There's something on the concrete So if you don't get up and run Get up, get up Get up, get up Yea if you don't get up and run You'll see what I've become Of your blood they eat Mines the blood they heed And there's something on the concrete So if you don't get up and run Get up, get up Get up, get up So if you don't get up and run Get up, get up Get up, get up So if you don't get up and run Get up, get up Get up, get up Yea if you don't get up and run You'll see what I've become

Do you know all the ways you couldn't've hurt me Another message I wipe off of my screen Does a singer still breathe when he sleeps Bridges we burned when I was thirteen Fording it all went according to nobodies plan Here's to nobodies plan You won't tell me what I said And I don't remember Why do they hurt me If they're like me It's better below and that's where I'll go Wells of stars That are fallen apart In the coke bottle On your arm Uneyable sighting My body is lightning She is so inviting I am so igniting Screaming on the nightly Hold my body tightly Let me have the saw please Cut you out of my sleep But I feel you rotting Do you know all the ways you couldn't've have hurt me Do you know all the ways you couldnt've hurt me When did my back bear such violent teeth Why do they hurt me If they're my teeth It's better below and that's where I'll go Laying in my bed is a mess of words Wiggle inside me my little things that hurt Worms in I'm not ready dirt But there are lessons to be learned in places we don't know What is scared What isn't there What's left for air What hand it bears Why be scared Why breathe any air Why exist in fear Why believe their tears Did you know all the ways you couldn't hurt me This is the last night You'll be seen alive You grant yourself wishes Nobody listens Is this sickness What is scared What isn't there What's left for air What hand it bears Why be scared Why breathe the air Why exist in fear Why believe their tears What is scared

"How will this end" I can't even begin The rain wakes her up But she can sleep through the thunder Keep this I wonder who wishes for others "But that's not what you said" That's not what who said Can you only remember How to hear? Goodbye this December Goodbye "Get them off!" Worms in the dirt I threw over you Slither down your throat And eat you for the lies you told The darkness at night Can never see sunlight But I do breathe steady sometimes Not at night And I swear to God sometimes Explorers ruin my life Exploders All you left is blood You're always bleeding In my veins "How long till this ends" And i smile Because I asked for it again I cry Because I wanted it to begin You were pretty good to But you began to crack And now your just monsters to me Viva la fine Triste viva la stasera

about

I Am Not A Person, I Am A Body
A two part EP series, this is the first

Things that are behind these songs:
a phone conversation with my mom where she insisted I was a person not a girl. And a dream where a demon tied me down for 1000 years and scratched my back till my ribs turned to dust. And a queer person who's story we will never hear. And a Daniel Johnston cover. And the horrific way GNC people are being attacked all over America. And my best friend radical cat the digitakt. And my gun salesman cousin. And the origin of my name. And late night demos about the book Aristotle and Dante Discover The Secrets Of The Universe. And cats n blood. And vampires being inherently queer. And artistically expressing the need for violence that so many frail men choose to literally express.
