Pt. 3
Could you give me a break
Please give me a break
It's been a real hard year
Would you give me a break
And if you don't wanna talk about it
Why are you talking to me at all?
It was all a mistake
It was all a mistake
Everything that I did
Every second awake
And if you don't wanna talk about it
Why are you talking to me at all?
Don't wanna hear about me
Why pretend you're listening at all?
Do you remember the start when I got real sick?
Mucus crowding my lungs
Sweat until the sheets stick
How the hell could I write about politics?
What the hell could I say that would mean anything?
Please give me a break
All I want is a break
It's been a real hard year
My heart is turning to kindling
It's storming all day
My body's an oil slick of caffeine and hate
Sometimes I get worried there's nothing to save
From commercials and emails washing our brains
Give me fifteen dollars no one will shoot up the schools
You can live two more years if you just vote blue
Please give me a break
When my grandfather died
I didn't call Dad for months
I didn't know what to say
I lost control of my lungs
I drowned myself in dying pleasures
Instead of reaching out to the people I loved
I've been a pretty bad daughter and a terrible son
I say some shitty things in an attempt to be fun
And I don't wanna talk about it
But I love hearing my voice leaving my mouth
If bad things happen just because
Why do I feel guilty all of the time?
Do you remember the middle I was manic and cheap?
I was melting at anything I heard that was sweet
I couldn't get out of bed I didn't want anything
But a little sedation and something to eat
Please give me a break
All I want is a break
It's been a real hard year
The planet's turning to kindling from all of our hate
Fascism is eating up our dying state
I wish I could kick the teeth in of this whole fucking place
How can we save the world with all this shit on our plate
Heart's breaking in pieces a new time every month
A couple near death experiences for my mom
Please give me a break
I wish I stopped finding new exciting things to be crazy about
I wish I was 17 and writing angry gender songs
I wish I could worry more on everyone and not myself
Global politics impending doom was so much easier
Than growing up
And realizing
I was never gonna fix the system
And now I need help making rent
It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be okay
And if it isn't
If it isn't
What the fuck can I do about it?
Guess I'll try again next year
Please give me a break
It's been a real hard year
Would you give me a break
And if you don't wanna talk about it
Why are you talking to me at all?
It was all a mistake
It was all a mistake
Everything that I did
Every second awake
And if you don't wanna talk about it
Why are you talking to me at all?
Don't wanna hear about me
Why pretend you're listening at all?
Do you remember the start when I got real sick?

How the hell could I write about politics?
What the hell could I say that would mean anything?
