Freak 02:36
I'm so high in love with my friend and I don't wanna try (lie) but it's happened again So I walk around at a quarter past ten with a picture of baby to make me feel bad But I felt so sure, felt so clean, feel discretely not the same when I look at you, oh baby oh baby After all I guess I'm just some kind of freak and after all I guess I'm just some kind of freak After all I guess I'm just some kind of neat freak

Bike 01:33
I wanna ride your brother's bike I wanna stab his friends sometimes I wanna tell a million lies I wanna steal your partner's heart I wanna turn your pain to art I wanna cry in your mother's arms I wanna wear your daddy's jeans I wanna drink the way he did I wanna smoke menthol cigarettes and I wanna fight I wanna fuck on ecstacy I wanna love, but what's that mean? I wanna go back on EBT
3.
Bath 01:31
If you wanna go with me you should know I'm a screaming scared kid waiting for the bugs to bleed Waiting for you to leave me trust in no one, that's why I'm in love If you wanna go with me you should know I'm still screaming scared to take a fucking bath Scared to take a fucking bath when I'm alone When I'm alone
4.
And when the competition stops I'll let your selfishness resolve by itself Cause I don't wanna stay here anymore cause I don't wanna hate you anymore I'll walk out in the sun I've heard you slip then catch your tongue I know you'll call me names but I'm not the one And I don't wanna stay here anymore cause I don't wanna hate you anymore And I don't have to stay here anymore cause you can't make me hate you anymore I'll walk out in the sun

Sweet 16 02:20
Since you left town I've been living in the truck I've been sleeping in the truck just like all my friends had warned me Been shit out of luck just like when I was sweet 16 Skinny told me what I owed and said good luck then I saw you in the cut and I knew I was sorely fucked I saw you in the cut
6.
When you need purity I don't know what you would say "Happy to be there again" but don't know which ones are your friends They're here again talking shit while you snore Sometimes they're happy when you fall Do you know who they are? Half away, half okay "Happy to be there again" Happy to call you a friend but don't know when I'll see you again They're here again talking shit while you're small Sometimes they're happy when you fall Do you know who they are? I don't
7.
I wanna dance next to you so you can step on my boots it's like any other time you would've told them they could fuck right off I'll be the shit on your shoe want you to stick like I stick to you it's like any other time you would've told them they could fuck right off Long division when you want something new then we could talk though I won't want to it's like any other time you would've told them they could fuck right off Tunnel vision when we talk I don't know what you want I don't know what you want.

Donut Shop 02:24
Your summer sweat smells sweet instead I haven't showered since the first time we met You lost your sock I wanted to stop You told a lie that you used to get off “I'll take care of you til you don't want me to I'll take care of you if you want if you want“ Made up your red twin XL bed I tried to step back but still get ahead Two donut shops and you wanted to stop I told a lie and I needed to get caught “I'll take care of you til you don't want me to I'll take care of you if you want if you want”

released February 28, 2020

Veronica Isley sang harmonies on 'Purity' and 'Long Division,' and played one of the guitars on 'Cherry Hell'

Evan Bernard engineered the drum sessions at Big Mama's Recording, bounced all the songs from the tape, and ran 'Long Division' and 'Donut Shop' through the space echo.

Ian Farmer mixed the record at The Metal Shop, played some of the tambourines and shakers, and engineered some random overdubs.
