Haley Blaisthis is a song i wrote (lyrics below if you want to sing along)
ELOA the incident with karen's dog still haunts me to this day i opened up the door to have a smoke and he just ran away my father, he is an actor and actors they love to cry but i never saw him sob on stage like he did when princess diana died
and i know it may feel heavy the weight that you wear on your back you'll drop it when you're ready and realize that you don't need that load of all the worry and all the things you thought that you can't and you'll find you relate to the existential life of ants
i used to hang out in the garden 'till i got allergies now i can't stick my nose in a rose by any other name would smell as sweet it's been years since i've spoken to karen i know that she blames me 'cause i guess that the death the words promised on the carton of the cigarettes wasn't for me
chorus
'cause we're much too small to think at all about our wage or our status quo we just carry on one by one and bow to the queen before we go
chorus

Lyrics: God, what a mess I must seem In the back of a theatre, the scene where the dog has to die I'm upset but at best Keep your hands off my chest Can't a girl mourn the death of a dog in the back of a theatre in peace?
The carpet left marks on our face I remember the sun was still out, as if nothing had changed I could see through the window at minimal height No obstructions at all Just the pure virgin light
Can't a girl mourn the death of her dog in the back of a theatre in peace anymore?
I never wanted the space I can picture the cause of the clearing and the look on your face You can fool me once and I'll actually believe you If you fool me twice I'm like putty in your hands
Just like a lamb, I'll trust you in the still heat Sucking the finger of the butcher who'll kill me
All that I am All that you are Call me a liar, I've heard it before Call me a cab All the blood spilled Get in the car, it's survivor's guilt

crying in the backseat of your parents car
you say that you don’t have a curfew anymore
23 and trying to keep your life from sour
and your mothers getting married in the fall
and you know that she is happy that things will be okay
but you wonder what will happen christmas day
and I don’t know what to tell you to make you not feel bad
so I’ll offer my condolences to dad
am i just hypocrite or is there something wrong with it
i want my therapist to think i’m cool
i call you from the office phone to ask you to come drive me home
okay i’m just a liar i never went
but if you see me out
know i’m the coolest fucking bitch in town
you wanna drink a drink that’s watered down
it’ll just take you longer
can i be responsible for things that i did years ago
i guess it could be good for just a laugh
is it just a privileged thought, i asked you once but i forgot
i’m not the only one who’s split in half but if you see me out
know i’m the coolest fucking bitch in town
you wanna drink a drink that’s watered down it’ll just take you longer coolest fucking bitch in town coolest fucking bitch in town coolest fucking bitch in town coolest fucking bitch in town

~Lyrics~ I carefully conducted a plan to leave me faultless I watched it from the sidelines I watched it from the sidelines
I learned to keep my distance, the path of least resistance But every time I faltered I chose to go back under
But this is not a love song, I wrote too many love songs I always got one part wrong I always got one part
Oh, she’s a firestarter The match to my desire I never really noticed I never really know What is it I require I step back from the fire I learned to keep my distance, the path of least resistance
But this is not a love song, I wrote too many love songs I always got one part wrong I always got one part
Oh, she’s a firestarter The match to my desire I never really noticed I never really know What is it I require I step back from the fire I hope I don’t get burned I hope I don’t get burned

Thank you for listening all this time, couldn't have done it without you.
Call me a liar Call me anything you want I can tell that you are waiting for me To say something wrong But I'm too good
Ooh, I can tell you anything, but you won't listen to me I could save your life and you'd say, "Thanks" sarcastically The irony to me is deafeningly blinding How does a dog see in black and white not minding?
We watch a movie and we act it out with all your friends I think it's healthy to suspend belief and just pretend

By the way I’m leaving today I need to go home And by the look that’s on my face that’s not what I wanted you to say, no
So why do you fall asleep when you can have me Why do you fall asleep when you can have me
But it’s too late you’ve already gone and the sun’s just set Guess I was just sitting inside of my head too long and regret the time so I think
Why don’t I fall asleep so he can have me
I don’t regret the things that I said it’s not about that Maybe you left because of the things I never did
So why do you fall asleep when you can have me Why do you fall asleep when you can have me
And my body’s like a garden unattended at the harvest What’s to eat if there is nothing left to reap? And in the morning you’ll remember to come and water love me tender At your convenience ‘cause you know that I will wait ‘Cause you know that I will wait Does it matter anyway?

Tried to say hell to the rat race Tried to make my escape Pictures of parties and their faces under blue light And their voices all on tape
Can I become what I think I am Try to find my weekend man Or will I become what I most fear I bloomed too late now winter’s near
All of the guys think that it’s bullshit I have better things to write about But can you tell me that it’s better this way Someone called while you were out
Can I become what I think I am Try to find my weekend man And in its place a smoking gun Right before the weekend’s done
Can I become what I think I am Try to find my weekend man And in its place a smoking gun Right before the weekend’s done Can I become what I think I am What I think I am
