Salish

You drove off your college campus
So you could go get high
In your mother's Tesla

Lemme 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 favorite 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 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?
