Bar Song 03:11
I only go to this place Because it's close to my house I only go to this place Because it's close to my house And there's a chance you might be here I thought I wanted be alone But there's a chance you might be here So I go to this place I don't wanna go home I don't wanna be alone When there's a chance you might be here I can't stand to be by myself Oh no, I can't stand to be myself Get me outta this place There's a ghost in my house And the chance you might be here I can't get away from you You know, the empress burnt me And the emperor did, too Growing up they never heard me The generational blues And now I'm just stuck here getting wasted on you When I should probably be grateful I get all wrapped up on this glass Trying to numb this pain I got this friend I call no one All these saints are in my way And then I sit back and I remember That you don't love me anyway I only go to this place Because it's close to my house I only go to this place Because it's close to my house And there's a chance you might be here

I walk around tryna be intuitional But cognitive dissonance leaves me suspicional Feet on the ground but the feeling's conditional That kiss was primal and I'm feeling frantic I'm untraditional bleeding romantic Caught in the cycle that borders on manic And nobody cares Nobody cares No-oh body cares Nobody cares No no no-oh body cares Boo-hoo ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Boo-hoo ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Boo-hoo ooh ooh ooh ooh Nobody cares No no no-oh body I feel dramatic or Could it be tragical? Lost and sporadic but also organic Cognitive dissonance leaves me suspicional Cognitive dissonance leaves me suspicional

Body Work 03:58
When I walked in she said Take off your shoes Lie down Focus on breathing Relax and let your body take up space Let me do this You focus on breathing But my body's not connected to my mind And I'm just thinking while I'm breathing My skin's not connected to my touch I thought there would be more feeling More feeling She called me eager to help Please let me do this You just breathe Rest your leg I'll hold it myself Be still and let me take the lead But my body's not connected to my mind And I'm still thinking while I'm breathing My skin's not connected to my touch I thought there would be more feeling More feeling My heart's not connected to my blood My tooth's not connected to my lung My neck's not connected to my right My left's not connected to my sacrum My throat's not connected to my gut My lips aren't connected to my vocal chords My skin's not connected to my touch I thought there would be more feeling More feeling It's cliche she said but it's true That the body is literally all connected So be aware in the way you move and relax your jaw when you feel your hips tense But my body's not connected to my mind And I'm still thinking while I'm breathing My skin's not connected to my touch I thought there would be more feeling More feeling But my body's not connected to my mind My body's not connected to my mind My body's not connected to my mind My body's not connected to my mind
