You lay it all across your bed
you try to find the pattern in
the how’s and why’s and carelessness
of all the times you had to get
out of there fast
I can stubbornly stare you down for days
and kick your ass at emotional charades
but I can’t help but pray
that when we see those flames
you’ll look at me and
we won’t hesitate
to get out of here fast
It’s the season of the white lie
it’s the season of shame
it’s that kind of year you’re holding onto your pain
you say what am I doing
just waiting for the day
when the pain looks around and says man it’s either you or it’s me
that’s gotta get out of here fast
Yeah but it’s a part of my story
it’s a part of my home
it’s the smell of my middle school boyfriend’s cologne
and the sun still sets calmly
people still fall asleep with our bags at the door
and our socks on our feet
because we’re getting out of here fast
Yeah maybe there’s something wrong with my heart
or it’s too much caffeine
it’s the time it takes to vanish and the water you don’t drink
‘cause I spiraled out this morning
I’ve been spiraling ever since
it’s a flowers on fire feeling
and knowing I might not get
out of here fast

I can sadly only choose between anything and dragon eyes for my favorite track, but then I realized it probably is anything. The rest of the album and its instrumental sister album are both amazing and imo her best release thus far. 9/10 angrypizza98
