I know I’ve got a crooked smile
And my feet turn out when i walk
I know i always have a stain on my shirt
And my s’s sound funny when i talk
I know i tend to repeat myself
But would it count if i only said it once?
I wrote this song so i could see myself
In the verse and the chorus and it goes like
La la la la
I’m a dandelion weed
La la la la
I paint an orange yellow scene
La la la la
They don’t want me on the green
But
I come back every spring
A dandelion in a rose filled world
I’m a dress wearing tomboy kind of girl
I’ve got my own way of being and i like to smile
So if you want to laugh, let’s hang a while
I like my oatmeal cold and my coffee hot
I get angry fast but i forgive a lot
I gave my heart to God in 2004
I don’t tend to dwell on the past anymore
La la la la
I’m a dandelion weed
La la la la
I paint an orange yellow scene
La la la la
They don’t want me on the green
But
I come back every spring
Can’t get rid of me

I don’t know what I want
All I know is I want to be loved
Whether I speak it into
existence, or it’s gifted
from the stars above
But everyone I meet
seems to break my heart and
drag it through the streets
And now I’ve become a tundra,
when all I want is to feel some heat
I just want to be happy
I just want to be your everything
So whoever you are,
Please dial the number you
see on your screen
I just want to be happy
I just want to be happy
I just want to be happy
But that’s not something
I know how to be
I don’t know what you want
All I know is I want to love you
My heart gets wrapped up in daydreams
but darling, that’s all it can do
When my head kills itself over
the things that aren’t but might
I hope that we can make it
to the other side of the night
I just want you to be happy
I just want to be your everything
You know you have my number,
So call me whenever you’re free
I just want you to be happy
(Believe me, I want that too)
I just want you to be happy
(I know this is nothing new)
I just want you to be happy
But that’s not something I know how to do

I can’t speak clearly even when asked to clarify
Clear my throat my shit still raspy is it fair if I
Ask you what makes you happy we could be here all day I don’t mind
I got time
I’d rather listen than talk
I wanna take a walk
Down memory lane
That’s better than me trying to sit here and explain this brain
I wanna save you the pain
That shit runs deep in me
Trust me you might be able to understand if I’m lucky but then again you do know me very well I can tell
You read me better than the author
Everyday I just gotta thank my heavenly father
For the way he made his daughter
He took his time with you
More time then I take to respond
This process in my mind
Got me wanting to press replay on the shit I say
My message I can never convey
I rather lay
And stare in your eyes
And pretend we have all the time
In the world
It don’t work like that
As a matter of fact
I wish I could get time back
Better yet
I wanna press fast forward
Speed up the growth
It might reduce the pain
Of living through each day
Hoping tomorrow I can make it to the promise land
Its not looking to promisin
Clouded head
I can’t see the sun
Where’d you go?
I can’t see the sun
Where’d you go?
I can’t see sunshine
I can’t see sunrise
Sunset on them brown eyes
I got my heart ripped out my chest
Tried my best to stop the bleeding for you
For you (x2)
Yea you know it’s Peezy in here
You know it by the way that I ride this beat I’m too easy wit
So don’t tease me wit it
I told babe
We in the front seat but now we both backstage
Love her by the way that she says my name
Or when she calls me babe
Or even by the way that she walks on pavement
Lips nose teeth eyes amazing
Hot day she my lemonade
Scratch that she my drumstick from the ice cream truck
2010 tuesday
Ion care about what you say
I miss conversations
Wit lil shawty daily
Can’t relate to pain I felt when baby
Had to lose my baby
Stupid that I thought that I could hide my sins in shadows
Building my own battles
Now all that I do is think bout milkshake dates
And games we played
We laid all day in shade
It shake my head up like a rattle
I’m like a baby to a rattle
Head up in the clouds I’m
Clouded
Issa
Cloudy day
I can’t see sunshine
I can’t see sunrise
Sunset on them brown eyes
I got my heart ripped out my chest
Tried my best to stop the bleeding for you
For you (x4)
What a day
What a day
Another day of trying to convince myself I’m ok
Another day gon to waste
Because there was no money I made
Nothing funny about today
More hell raise than holy praise
More lonely days on the way
Fighting fire with fire
That’s the only way

Constantly tired cause I’m constantly moving baby
Making excuses to get you into my room
I’m getting tired of these games we’ve been playing lately
But stop me if you think that this is all way too soon
Are we moving too fast?
Throw on some Kanye and put your love on lockdown
Remember you told me that this time would be the last
I can’t get enough of you, we’re in too deep to stop now
But please slow down baby, I think I just need to ask
This can’t be love but don’t call it a waste of time
We’ll play pretend and I’ll love you just for the night

ur slowly melting around ppl u claim to like
if they like u so much, why are they okay
with u dying? im slowly fading away, why
wont u love me back? ive cried for u all
night, why wont u just call me ur baby? i
cant seem to find my way back to a time
before u wrapped ur arm around me in the
cold brought by winter but the alcohol on
ur breath stung my nose and throat i
couldnt stand it any longer so i left u on ur
own. u didnt even care i guess i get where
ur coming from, u had sweat in ur hair i ran
my fingers thru every strand. i cannot
believe, what u mean to me. ur breath
smells like lime, this happens every time
but i can’t seem to find my way back to a
time before u drank away ur problems in
the cold brought by winter, but the alcohol
in my mouth warmed my entire body now i
understand ur point of view, all thats left to
say is im sorry.

It’s been a long night
But I am finally sleeping alright
It’s been a long time coming
I hope you take this in stride
I thought that I ran away
Because I needed some space
I thought I’d come back one day
But as it turns out I like things this way
Well as a matter of fact
I am not coming back
As much as I’d like to
It is not right to
This is not an attack
Don’t you take it like that
I don’t want to hurt you
But I don’t believe you
It’s not been easy
Deciding to leave you all behind
But if you saw what I see
You might just understand why
I know that you’re gonna miss me
And for you I feel mutually
But this house to which you cleave
Is no longer big enough for me
Well as a matter of fact
I am not your dad
I know that you want me
But you cannot have me

I’ve been feeling smaller than the smallest kid I knew when I was five.
Paying close attention to the way I feel when everything feels fine.
And if I showed a picture of the way my brain looks now to yesterday.
Surely it’d convince me just how suddenly the stubbornness can change.
Things are things are things are good.
If this isn’t nice, what is?
Hurry then get dressed
I pull the sheet over my head and I lie
I cant seem to pause Full effect and yet no cause
Shut my eyes
I can take my time I can decide
I can pay no mind But rarely do I
Things are things are things are good.
If this isn’t nice, what is?
The rarest moments, sweet
Feel like lifetimes between me
And reasons why.
But the moments I repeat
Are the moments I don’t need
Stuck in mind.
(But things are things are things are good.
If this isn’t nice, what is?)
The grimmest thoughts I keep
Are painting primrose places deep
With shades of night.
And the messed up things I think
Are messing up the nights I need
To even try.
If things are things are things are good.
And if this isn’t nice, what is? I’m
Things are things are things are good.
If this isn’t nice, what is?
