i can tell you that i'm sorry, but its all i ever say and i can pretend that i'm okay, i've been doing it all day and i'm running out of words, or running out of patience i'm wishing i'd forget all of the times i hesitated i've come out of the closet at least three separate times and everyday there's something new i realize about myself, and thats okay i'd rather be myself than be any other way x2 i'm trying harder than ever to do what i want when i can and i'm being a lot more honest with my friends i'm done pretending, i'm done forgetting every thing that's happened matters i'm taking matters into my own hands i'll tell you how i feel and i'll mean it i'll cry in the target parking lot i'll tell you i love you, i'll say it real loud so everyone around us knows i'll tell you how i feel and i'll mean it

every day my beliefs are solidified, yeah every day i hear someone being an asshole and i remember why i started this whole thing anyway, i remember how i was feeling, oh, how i was feeling look up to the sun or go outside and ride your bike, or play a ukulele just do it for yourself so DIY or DIT, have a bonfire and make some moon tea just do it for yourself i wake up and tell myself "yes i can" i say that i'll get better and i'll talk about the weather and i know how hard you try everyday, and i promise i'm trying just as hard all the time

I've lived in my room for the past three years and I'm not sure if you have even noticed and I can't wait to spend my days making zines in the living room or sleeping in the middle of the hallway or sitting criss-cross, eating on the kitchen floor or doing my own dishes, not yours and it's okay that we're broken and it's fine that you dont know me or my friends you think we're reckless but we're not we're gonna change the world, we're gonna start a band we're gonna run for president, we're gonna take a stand we're gonna do great things, and you won't see a thing

i grew up in a big, big house, with the coolest tree i've ever seen in my back yard i grew up being terrified right after my uncle died, thinking the same thing could happen to my friends but i won't let the shit that got to me when i was ten define who i am today no i won't let it get to me cause i have to be strong and mature, whatever the fuck that means i grew up hating men, i grew up hating more specifically the people who hurt you and me i grew up wondering what comes after suffering but now i know its this weird period of getting angry but i won't let the shit that got to me when i was ten define who i am today no i won't let it get to me cause i have to be strong and mature, whatever the fuck that means i grew up moving every other month, i grew up sleeping on the couch and now i like sleeping on the couch you've seen hell about nine times, and you've walked in circles a couple more, but i won't hold that against you cause i won't let the shit that got to me when i was ten, definte who i am today no i won't let it get to me cause i have to be strong and mature, whatever the fuck that means

it's been a real long time since i released any music, and for that i'm sorry. however, i hope this ballin mixtape makes up for it. all of these songs are really dear to me and i hope you like them just as much as i do!
