Beach Dumpster

Some say that I was born in a dumpster by the beach
Limbs of toilet paper tubes
Wrappers for guts and dirty napkins for shoes, yeah
Well it's true, but it is rude to reduce me to the trash you think I am
I will never accept how people assume what they can’t understand
I drag my little legs I’m not strong enough to carry my contents
But I know that I’ll be alright in the end
Well it's true, but it's rude to reduce me to the trash you think I am
I will never accept how people assume what they can’t understand
But I’m so much more than that
But I’m so much less than anything
But I’m so much more than that
But I’m so much less than anything
Spilled out on the boardwalk
Met with shrieks and stares
Spilled out on the boardwalk
I’ll discard myself
But I’m so much more than that
But I’m so much less than anything
But I’m so much more than that
But I’m so much less than anything
Lately I feel like my mom is calling
I wake up in the dumpster I was born in

He didn’t mean it
He’s just a kid
He didn’t mean it
He’s innocent
Just a little kid
‘Your face is bleeding’
That’s what he said
I really hate that kid
I’ll tell you what, if I had kids right now!
Where the hell are your parents?
I’d make sure that he knew he was wrong
I’d put him in time out
...But I’m not his parent
I wanna teach him a lesson
I wanna teach him a lesson
Don’t talk to strangers
That’s what they said
Did it get through your head
I’ll tell you what, if I had kids right now!
They’d never ever act this way
I’d make sure that he knew he was wrong
I’d put him in time out
...But I’m not his parent

Not My Friend
02:16

Maybe it’s my fault and I should have been more straight up
Maybe should have spit it out as soon as it came up
Maybe it’s my fault
Well, I don’t even care that you liked me for a time
Doesn’t even matter cuz you made me feel like crap
You are not my friend
Maybe it’s my fault and I should have been more straight up
Maybe should have spit it out as soon as it came up
Maybe it’s my fault
No, it’s not my fault
Well, I don’t even care that you liked me for a time
Doesn’t even matter cuz you made me feel like crap
You are not my friend
Hanging out with you has been nothing but detrimental
And, all I feel around you is that i'm not my best self
Hanging out with you has been nothing but detrimental
I’m tired of it
My car is here
I don’t even care that you liked me for a time
Doesn’t even matter cuz you made me feel like crap
You are not my friend

Someone
Poked me with a stick to see if I'd feel
Something
No reaction, none at all
No reaction, none at all
Someone
Poked me in the ribs and then I felt
Something
Drew an outline round my body
Chalk is there but I dissolved
They try and get a rise of out me
I wonder how I'm so even keeled
Took a couple tries for me to react
They tried to get a rise
No reaction none at all
Drew an outline round my body
Someone
Poked me in the ribs and then I felt
Something
Well, maybe if I got fired
I'd get a notion
It's hard to say
I don't know

Dumb 2 Exist
03:38
|

I know that you can’t win all the time
But just once would be kinda nice
Just gimme once, or give me twice
Lose every time
Pain in my side
Fear of a leaky spine
Or misfires in my mind
These aren’t my friends, I don’t know them at all
They're strangers now, I'll just ignore their calls
My power’s out again
And it’s dumb to exist
Mope around a dark apartment
I am an idiot
So are you, and don’t pretend
I don’t know what I’m doing
They shut me off again
My power’s out again and it’s just too dumb to exist now x4
I fear of a leaky spine
Or misfires in my mind
These aren’t my friends, I don't know them at all
They’re strangers now, I'll just ignore their calls
They shut me off again
My power’s out again and it’s just too dumb to exist now x4
They shut me off again

All Night
02:07
|

I can’t stay out all night
I don’t live that kind of life
At least not anymore
If you ask me to hang out
I’ll probably say I'm down
Maybe I don’t know
I am one needy girl
I just need
I just need
Do you have anything
Left for me
Energy
I know you work a lot
And you take a class
I know all of that

Catch my breath, count one, two, three
Facing this day seems a little overwhelming
Get up and I’m all sweaty
I wish I’d gotten just a little more sleep
Went to bed feeling antsy
How is it that I wake up and I still feel so exhausted
Thought these 6 hours would help me
I still feel the same, what’s the point in even trying
But I gotta go, but I gotta go
Will I make it till five
Getting up to go, getting up to go
Make those nickels and dimes
Woke up and I forgot that it was just Monday!
For a second there I thought it was Saturday or Sunday!
Rest up for your big day
I’m so tired, I feel crazy
Every night I’m chasing it just feels so neverending
Get up and my heart’s beating
I wish I’d gotten just a little more sleep
Went to bed feeling antsy
How is it that I wake up and I still feel so exhausted
Coffee’s lost its potency
Wish I’d gotten just a little more sleep
But I gotta go, but I gotta go
Will I make it till five
Getting up to go, getting up to go
Make those nickels and dimes
Woke up and I forgot that it was just Monday!
For a second there I thought it was Saturday or Sunday!
Rest up for your big day
It's a little overwhelming
Get up and I'm all sweaty
Wish I'd gotten just a little more sleep

Big Bones

I’m not fat
I'm just big boned
I’m not fat
My metabolism’s slow
I’m not fat
I'm just big boned
I’m not fat
Do you think I’m gross?
Hey, let me tell you all about my new diet
It’s working pretty good and I think that you should try it
Man, that looks good let me take a bite
Oh no, never mind, I’m starting to look alright
I’m not fat
I'm just big boned
I’m not fat
My metabolism’s slow
I’m not fat
I'm just big boned
I’m not fat
Do you think I’m gross?
My BMI tells me I’m no good
That I really gotta weigh a lot less than I do
And I’m trying really hard but have no success
I care too much, and it does’t make sense
I’m not fat
I'm just big boned
I’m not fat
My metabolism’s slow
I’m not fat
I'm just big boned
I’m not fat
Do you think I’m gross?

Good Again
01:54
|

Trying to remember the last time
I laughed so hard that it made me cry
Can’t remember guess It’s been a while
I can’t remember the last time
I wanna feel good again
9th Grade got kicked out of class
We made jokes, how we laughed and laughed
It wasn’t often that I acted “bad”
I can’t remember the last time
I wanna feel good again
When you laugh, and I laugh
What a feeling
See you smile I just hope it isn't fleeting
See you crack a smile and hope it sticks around a while
I wanna feel good again

Problems
02:00
|

Living life way harder than before
Fixing wrongs I made way too long ago
From now on, I'm being more aware
I am always causing harm, this is making me scared
Tell me all your problems
Can I help you solve them?
It gotta understand
It's out of my hands
Making life much harder for myself
Wondering what you ate and how you slept
I worry about you, tell me you're doing fine?
Any answer you give me, will probably ruin my life
Tell me all your problems
Can I help you solve them?
It gotta understand
It's out of my hands
I called you a couple times, and you never picked up, do you have something to say?
I was sitting here worrying, while you were having fun, do you feel at least a little ashamed?
I called you a couple times and I got no response
I called you a couple times, I guess that you don’t wanna talk?

Fast Times
02:22
|

Having a good time
Rock and roll
4 pack red bull ready to go
Two for me
And two for you
We'll stay out till 1 or 2
Had one red bull
Go go go
Have more energy
Than i know
What to do with
Oh my go
Feel like my heart will explode
Having a good time baby
Having a nice time baby
It's the time of my life
Stay up all night
Fast times at red bull high
All my red bulls
drank them all
feeling crazy
go go go
so much energy
oh my go
feel like my heart will explode
Lost the pep in my step, oh no
Lost the pep in my step, oh no

Dancing With Myself
02:49

On the floors of Tokyo
Or down in London town to go, go
With the record selection
And the mirror's reflection
I'm dancing with myself
When there's no-one else in sight
In the crowded lonely night
Well I wait so long
For my love vibration
And I'm dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself
Well there's nothing to lose
And there's nothing to prove
I'll be dancing with myself
If I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But your empty eyes
Seem to pass me by
Leave me dancing with myself
So let's sink another drink
'Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself
Well there's nothing to lose
And there's nothing to prove
I'll be dancing with myself
If I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But your empty eyes
Seem to pass me by
Leave me dancing with myself
So let's sink another drink
'Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
Dancing with myself
If I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But your empty eyes
Seem to pass me by
Leave me dancing with myself
So let's sink another drink
'Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
