never put my babe through harder times but when my mind's not safe i try to find i try to find a stable mind i go and let him know but in this darkness it's impossible to seem in control i tried to let him be the help i thought i always needed but his love alone could never be able to change or intercede what always has been behind my eyes

reading your texts by the fireplace i see how wrong you live feeling what i am alone calling back you want some cash to buy the drugs you can't help yourself from buyin my sister called and said mom might be gone i never thought i'd have to hear those words at all i guess i thought that we were done scratching at our minds again he wants us not to live the drugs you can't help yourself from buyin i feel responsible and it feels impossible that i could have ever helped you live or be alive

race around / calling out on the ground / when my mind cowers how could they let him out they should've told us somehow how could they let him out what if the effort don't work now i have this reoccurring dream he'd stare at me unwavering i have this reoccurring dream dream the only words i'd hear from him "i'd love it if you stayed now i'd love to lead you back down" how could they let him out? my body's gotten used to this i find that hard to take i know i'm coping selfishly but i think it keeps me safe i feel cold fingers reach into my mind what what if i tell someone what if i tell someone i wake before he comes for my head can't sleep if i know he ain't dead i been worried bout if he lies about it now will the state still come for his head can't sleep if i know he ain't dead so i tell my babe my body's gotten used to this i find that hard to take i know i'm acting selfishly but i think you'd keep me safe i love you more than anything don't know why that's hard to say now but it hurts when they come for my head can't sleep if i know he ain't dead i been worried bout if he lies about it now will the state still come for his head will the state still come for his head my body's gotten used to this i find that hard to take i know i'm acting selfishly but i think you'd keep me safe i love you more than anything don't know why that's hard to say now

we were not the only ones knew a lot of kids in a hole had a little love back then not that i understood how love goes talk a little about events we never talk about again our hearts and minds thrown in the mud i'm calling the sun to peel off the dark and lead us to a haven where we all are safe i'm calling again not just for myself but for all of the children lost in the dark lead them from hell and teach them to heal and trust in themselves you'll find a way to trust in yourself

couldn't know it's impossible when i speak to myself couldn't know lost respect for the parts i keep to myself watch what i speak to myself couldn've it been right couldn't it have happened in time i wanna tell you the lines on your face will go away and i wanna tell you the dust in the cracks will be gone one day but it doesn't matter what i tell you as long as we all get better and healthier as long as we all grow stronger and healthier one day the shade carves out a line between hate and all his crimes it often covers most your life but what does it give the shade carves out a line above hate and all his selfish crimes you twist and turn out of your skin one last time

"Much of this language, not to mention the sound, is consistent with what he was doing back on Plantation. But it feels different, more mature and self-defined. Lacey’s music has modeled growth not in the incandescent spurts of much pop, but in the way it actually happens: by degrees so fine as to be almost invisible, with plenty of backsliding and false starts. Instead of someone heroically becoming someone else, it represents someone, even more heroically, learning to be who he is." — Brian Howe, Pitchfork [7.1]
