I had a dream
that I was drinking in the park
that I was living in the dark
-ness of my soul
And then she came to me
She said it needn’t be like this
Why should I live in depravity
all alone?

We went out for drinks
and we have a lot in common
We both know a guy named Lucy
and he's ruining our lives
She goes to Wesleyan and she’s really loving college
English major who drinks earl grey tea
and masturbates to Bernie
Silence at the table when she gathers for Thanksgiving
Because grandpa has a racist streak the size of Mississippi
But who is she to argue? Is she even an adult?
No financial independence ‘cause her parents pay for school
It’s just me and her against the world, we’ll come out victorious
She took me to her place for some dinner with the family
an apartment on the UES, penthouse floor, golden doors
The Steinway grand piano in the living room’s to die for
She took lessons up ‘till middle school but hasn’t touched it since
Summer breaks in Haiti, yes she's quite the voluntourist
But she's moving down to Williamsburg
a real white feminist
the key to get her going is to mention Kylie J
yeah, she’s up to date on culture but she's never heard of migos
She kicked me out right after
I’m afraid I got her mad
‘Cause she’s got some affluenza and I told her it looked bad

Summer
Brings the crime
We gotta get the police
Out patrolling the streets
Oppress
Me with your signs
Are you my solace or my demise?
Oh baby
Our eyes are on the prize
Explosive
These fireworks are our lives
Stay American dreaming
Through Capitalist eyes
As long as we work hard
The kids, they’ll be alright
Summer’s in the air
But baby, heaven’s in your eyes
When daddy walks you down the aisle
A property exchange so vile
Oh misogynoir
So americana
To be great again, so American
Oh baby
Our eyes are on the prize
Explosive
These fireworks are our lives
Stay American dreaming
Through Capitalist eyes
As long as we work hard
The kids, they’ll be alright

My Room

Solace in solitude
Golden souls are where I find my wealth
There I have nothing to prove
Outside I don’t recognize myself
Trouble facing all my fear
All I need is some time alone
I make all my problems disappear
Forget them all until the morn, forget it when I go to
My room (my room)
My room (my room)
My room (my room)
My room (my room) (x2)
Summer stays on Saturn
Try to come and find me if you can
Afternoons of afterlife
Carving out the pyramids in sand
Put it in perspective
All this talk has got my spirit torn
Facing in and chasing out
Forget that I was ever born, forget it when I go to my room
My room (my room)
My room (my room)
My room (my room)
My room (my room)
I don’t need you
I don’t think I need you
I don’t wanna need you
I think I’ll be fine
Inside
My room
The door is open
and now my peace is broken
the door is open
and now my peace is broken
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone

Diamond chains and golden pain, the dreamer hopes for
Darling it ain’t worth the sticker price
Spending by the hour, what your labor gets you
Calculate the value of a life
Love for mere location, geographic romance
Imperfection anthropomorphized
Nocturnal solitude, the lights, an urban slowdance
Beauty from the hands of humankind
Bleeding in plain sight, don’t give up your crown
The boys in blue are just playing around
Oh sometimes the city gets me down
Words won’t save you, don’t you see that now?
Built upon the backs of those who tried believin’
A monument to greed and greener sight
Light for all the world, she is a global beacon
She looks prettier through bourgeois eyes
Bleeding in plain sight, don’t give up your crown
The boys in blue are just playing around
Oh sometimes the city gets me down
Words won’t save you, don’t you see that now?
