Sober

I'm never alone
I'm never sober
I'm smoking outside, I'm as high as the sky
But I've never felt so low
My love ain't a lie
But I'm trapped inside
My own head and my heart can't make up their mind
Maybe I'm just tired
All my days drag on
Everything just feels so wrong
I'm stuck between apathy and utter desperation
I've been this way for so long

Pretty

You came into my room, hoping that'd you'd find me there
But I knew, oh I knew, what you were looking for
It wasn't really me, it was more like my body
So I gave it to you, thinking that's what I'm supposed to do
So I will ask if you think that I'm pretty, and you will say that I'm just alright
I guess I get it, gotta knock me down. I guess I get it, gotta keep me grounded
So I will paint my face, and I will lose some weight
And you will be proud of me, you will be proud of me
So I will be pretty, for you
I will be pretty for you
I will be pretty for you
I will be pretty just for you

Bones that Break

I'm so god damn passive, you should know what I mean
When you leave, I won't say anything at all
Take my words for granted, I can't blame you for that
But I can't breathe when you're here or when you're not
Set myself on fire to keep you warm all the time
But I can't live like this anymore, I can't live for you anymore
So don't blame me when you're falling to your knees
Cause I found god in your voice, but now it's gone
Written wprds don't mean much (from far away)
I can't stand as your crutch (with bones that break)
Written wprds don't mean much (from far away)
I can't stand as your crutch (with bones that break)
Blaming you is easy when I'm the one who told you to leave
When you stop by I can't say anything at all
Blaming you is easy when I'm the one still holding on
You could be right next to me and still be gone

Part of the Problem

I can't watch you fuck up for the hundredth time this year
I'll stop writing you poems that you don't want to hear
And it's fine if we take our time
To go over what we want because I don't think it's the same
You think that you're in love with me but know I'm just a name
To call when your drunk, or just bored at home
So have a couple drinks and you can yell at me
Bout nothing in particular, you just want to scream
Because nothing's felt quite right since you were seventeen
And I'm just part of the problem, or at least that's how it seems
Because I'm talking way too much, or I'm not talking enough
And I'm laughing over nothing, and my jokes they just all suck
And I know we're not exclusive but I don't know what that means
When you're mad at all my friends cause you think that they're in love with me

Take Me
03:42

When I told you I was leaving before morning
I thought you knew, I thought you knew
When I told you I was intoxicated by your breath
I thought you knew, I thought you knew
I was so scared of being alone
I let you in my bed, I let you in my head
But you can take me anyway you want to
You can take me anyways you want
You can take me anyway you want to
Well you'll just take me anyway you want
When I told you I was missing someone else
I thought you knew, I thought you knew
When I told you, this makes me hate myself
I thought you knew, I thought you knew
I was so scared of being alone
I let you in my bed, I let you in my head
But you can take me anyway you want to
You can take me anyways you want
You can take me anyway you want to
Well you'll just take me anyway you want

I hope California treats you well
You're much better suited there than this Midwestern hell
Those dreams that you had, I never could compete
That's not your fault but you know that it ain't me
I like cold water
I like Mill Creek
Just called my father
He said he's proud of me
Shouldn't surprise I'm only wanted here
I'd catch a flight if I thought you'd keep me near
But I'm scared of taxi cabs, I'm scared of packing bags over and over again
I'm bad at letting go, just thought that you should know I didn't see this as the end
I like cold water
I like Mill Creek
Just called my father
He said he's proud of me
I like the ocean
I hope you do too
Won't catch me sailing
Unless it's with you
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I like cold water
I hope you do too
Next time I'm sailing
I hope it's with you

The Bears & The Bees Ohio
Northeast Ohio based band creating self-designated “fragile rock.” Combining cuttingly honest, confessional lyrics with powerful, emotive instrumentals, they derive influence from a range of artists such as Rilo Kiley, Julien Baker, and The National.
The Bears & The Bees recommends:
Flipcoin is one of our absolute favorite bands, even sharing one member with us! Go to Space is easily AOTY for us, and we simply will not shut up about it.
go to album
There's just something about this album that cuts in just the right way. Love in the time of municipal debt exclusion is full of some of the best lyrics I think I've ever had the pleasure of hearing.
