favorite julien baker lyrics, in no particular order
you don’t have to remind me so much how i disappoint you
i think if i ruin this i know i can live with it
this will be quick and easy, i’m not gonna feel a thing
my mouth like a wound
why did you let them leave and then make me stay?
vessel of brightness, come make me blind
i’m tired of washing my hands, god, i want to go home
there’s a comfort in failure / singing too loud in church
all my prayers are just apologies
hold the chorus in between my ears until i go deaf
if it makes me feel better, how bad could it be?
isn’t that what you want / for me to be miserable like you
it’s no good if the pain doesn’t make you feel like you’ve earned it
living with demons i’ve mistaken for saints
But I think there’s a god and he hears either way …. i rejoice
Maybe it’s all gonna turn out alright and I know that its not but I have to believe that it is
maybe the emptiness is just a lesson in canvasses
and besides I’m starting to get used to the gap
pinned to the mattress like an insect to styrofoam/ all my prayers are just apologies
Grit my teeth and try to act deserving / When I know there’s nowhere I can hide from your humiliating grace …. and I would go to church on sunday
rom the sting, paper sheets, bloodwork and the IV / And the whirring machines while the nurses reassure me
(I know I shouldn’t act this way in public)
But I’ve kissed enough bathroom sinks to make up for the lovers that never loved me/ And I know my body is just dirty clothes
And I just let the parking lot swallow me up / Choking your tires, and kicking up dust / Asking aloud why you’re leaving / But the pavement won’t answer me

love using “u” and “you” in the same sentence. variety is the spice of life and boy is it sexy
boygenius has too much power for one band

just because I spend some time doing nothing doesn’t mean I’m relaxing. I have not once relaxed
me when a girl refers to her “partner”: 👀 me when i find out she was talking about her boyfriend with a beard: 😴
