Salish

You drove off your college campus
So you could go get high in your mother's Tesla
Let me ask Alexa
How to fix my partner
So they're not disgusting
So they never hurt me
Maybe you could love me

I was playing dress up
Beautiful and flirty
Put my favourite dress on
Pocket full of posies

Ashes on her tombstone
Dancing in the basement
Drunk with all the lights off
I hate this

Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

My dad's working at the grocery
He was always pissed off
Never said he loved me
Unless I fucking earned that

Told me to learn patience
My mother's sick and dangerous
She's manic, and she broke my brother's bones again

Could we go and see a movie?
Made me play a chess match
Just to prove if I lose
We won't go

Felt bad
But he never told me
I think I could've helped him
I think he would've loved me more if I did

Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

And I was sick in the head, man
But you were sick too
The only difference is I can't drown my problems in alcohol like you

And I'm at the bottom of that bottle
And your brother is too
And you're the end of the joint that I smoke in my room

And you're the things in my past that I want to forget
And you're the thoughts in my head that cause pain in my chest
And I get sick when I think about them both in bed
But it gets easier with time and with love, said a friend

And I drowned (away, away)
In a ship that sank (away, away)
From my own words (away, away)
How do I become who I want to be
Not who they say I am (away, away)

There's a change here (away, away)
In the air here (away, away)
Can you hold me close?
Will you hurt me too?
Will you love me true? (Away, away)

There's a change here (away, away)
In the air here (away, away)
Can you hold me close?
Will you hurt me too?
Will you love me true? (Away, away)

There's a change here (away, away)
In the air here (away, away)
Can you hold me close?
Will you hurt me too?
Will you love me true?
