Intellectual Property Album Lyrics by Waterparks

ST*RFUCKER

You, imagine an album starting with this
Like, take a breath

I'm gonna move out of my loft
And into a limousine
So I could drive you f*cking crazy
And crash out where I sleep, yeah
Jesus Christ, don't text me back
I'll always be around, in fact
I'm climbing up to your window now
Running back to you at the speed of sound

It's been a pleasure, it's nice to meet you
It's been a pleasure, it's nice to meet you
It's been a pleasure, it's nice to meet you
It's been a pleasure, it's nice to meet you

Maybe I'm a soul-sucker
But you're just a star f*cker
I signed somebody's NDA
I'll go away but LA's
(Such a f*cking weird place)
I bet you wouldn't ask me
To do that by this time next week
You can't hide my face and save me for a rainy day
It don't go two ways, no
I don't wanna be toxic
I just wanna be honest
Your future is second coming
And it just hurts 'cause I want it
Yeah, it just hurts 'cause I want it

It's been a pleasure, it's nice to meet you
It's been a pleasure, it's nice to meet you
It's been a pleasure, it's nice to meet you
It's been a pleasure, it's nice to meet you

What you get back, that's the law of attract
(I'm saying picture that, but like right before things go dark)

REAL SUPER DARK

(Let me speak to your manager)
Oh, you mean Benji? He's f*cking busy
'Cause I just drove through AP
On my brand-new jet ski
So leave some tears after the

If you're feeling silly
I'll call you, beep you later
If Otto doesn't serial kill me
(Otto, I'm sorry, stop)

I'm out of my cage, and I'm on the stage
I'm dying to give you a show
I'm alienated, way overrated
Here are a few of the notes

My fans are the best
They'd love me more dead
But man, I can't die 'til I finish the album
'Cause if I could time it right, shit could go Platinum
But baby, it's getting too loud

(Da-da-da, da-da-da-da)
(Da-da-da-da, da-da-da)

And everyone's freaking me out
I wake up and I'm up and I'm down
Yo, shut the f*ck out of your mouth
Bite tongue 'til there's blood in my mouth
It freaks me out

(All of the ghosts of the earth became very unhinged)
(Otto get in the car, get back in the car)

I'm Miss Congeniality
Everybody's proud of me
But when they try and tell me
Volume's muted like they're sound asleep

Therapy's not working
I don't understand, so
I kill time playing tennis
With your favorite bands, we're singing

(Da-da-da, da-da-da-da)
(One more f*cking time)

And everyone's freaking me out (woo)
I wake up and I'm up and I'm down
Yo, shut the f*ck out of your mouth
Bite tongue 'til there's blood in my mouth (blah)
It freaks me out, it freaks me out

It gets real super dark around the edge of my heart
Around the edge of my heart
It gets real f*cking dark around the edge of my heart
Around the edge of my heart
(Go) gets real super dark around the edge of my heart
Around the edge of my heart
It gets real f*cking dark around the edge of my heart
Around the edge of my heart

(Otto don't be mad with us)
(I don't know, I don't know)
(Oh man, you don't look so good)

FUNERAL GREY

11PM she walked in with her friends
And now I'm tripping off the deep end
So call me a Lyft or a black hearse
'Cause I know you'll make my head spin, yeah

And I said
"What's your favorite color?" She pointed at her waist
And I said
"That's not a color, it's a shade", she said
"Don't disagree with me," and then

And then she walked away, I didn't get her name
I can't explain the look on her face
She wore a sweater in summer weather, yeah
She wore a sweater, it was funeral grey
And now it's killing me, I just want you to be
My next mistake that I'm gonna make
She wore a sweater in summer weather, yeah
She wore a sweater, it was funeral grey

3AM she walked in, took a hit
I said, "That shit is gonna kill you" (kill you)
She kinda smiled and she blew it in my face
And said, "Well, now you're gonna die too"

I said that you can call me, beep me
If you want my skin
She rolled her eyes and then she said
"I know your dying wish is to be baptized in my spit"

And then she walked away, I didn't get her name
I can't explain the look on her face
She wore a sweater in summer weather, yeah
She wore a sweater, it was funeral grey
And now it's killing me, I just want you to be
My next mistake that I'm gonna make
She wore a sweater in summer weather, yeah
She wore a sweater, it was funeral grey

Float my way, I'm melting for you
Float my way, I'm melting for you

She walked away, I didn't get her name
I can't explain the look on her face
She wore a sweater in summer weather, yeah
She wore a sweater, it was funeral grey
And now it's killing me, I just want you to be
My next mistake that I'm gonna make
She wore a sweater in summer weather, yeah
She wore a sweater, it was funeral grey

Float my way, I'm melting for you
Float my way, I'm melting for you

BRAINWASHED

What's up? Hello, I'm tryna meet ya
Shocked at the words coming from my tongue
A language that I'm not familiar
Don't take it away, I wanna play, where did the time fly?
What if I pray? Hoping you'll stay into the daylight
Wait, what am I saying? I feel insane
It's only been a couple days

I'm having the same thoughts, can't stop
Thinking you got me brainwashed
I'm see-through, need you
Why do I think you're so cool?
Everything's clean except for my thoughts (yeah)
Thinking about me getting you off
It's been a week, I'm still at your house
I don't wanna leave, it's freaking me out
I don't wanna leave, it's freaking me out

Why am I acting like that?
My day's f*cked 'til you finally wanna text back
I put some extra on my laugh when you say things
Are you really that funny or am I hallucinating?
Like I'm slipping away, living the life, open the floodgates
Give me my space, give me your face at the same time
It's like my brain isn't mine, you moved into my mind
Dropped your bags, drew the blinds

Now I'm having those same thoughts, can't stop
Thinking you got me brainwashed
I'm see-through, need you
Why do I think you're so cool?
Everything's clean except for my thoughts (yeah)
Thinking about me getting you off
It's been a week, I'm still at your house
I don't wanna leave, it's freaking me out
I don't wanna leave, it's freaking me out

The syndrome feels Stockholm
I'm like "Do you wanna keep me on lock though?", Yeah
Symmetrical feelings match best when we're staring at the ceiling (yeah)
The syndrome feels Stockholm
I'm like "Do you wanna keep me on lock though?", Yeah
Symmetrical feelings match best when we're staring at the ceiling

I'm having those same thoughts, can't stop
Thinking you got me brainwashed
I'm see-through, need you
Why do I think you're so cool?
Everything's clean except for my thoughts (yeah)
Thinking about me getting you off (getting you off)
It's been a week, I'm still at your house
I don't wanna leave, it's freaking me out
I don't wanna leave, it's freaking me out
(Yeah)

2 BEST FRIENDS

I'm trying to turn my mind off
But I don't know where to go when the night's long
Yeah, with the blinds drawn
And the lights off
I could've picked your body in a lineup

Now I'm sick of waiting on you
To call when you're out every night
Yeah, I'm sick of playing it cool
When baby, really I, I wanna die

So I went out with my two best friends
Tried anything not to think of you
It didn't work and I feel like shit
Wake up tomorrow and try again
I went out with my two best friends
Tried anything not to think of you
It didn't work and I feel like shit
Wake up tomorrow and try again, yeah

You hit back with the syntax
You treated my heart like a handbag
So now I'm solo when the night's cold
Yeah, I kissed a couple people but they taste wrong

You know, I'm sick of waiting on you
To call when you're out every night
Yeah, I'm sick of playing it cool
When baby, really I, I wanna die

So I went out with my two best friends
Tried anything not to think of you
It didn't work and I feel like shit
Wake up tomorrow and try again
I went out with my two best friends
Tried anything not to think of you
It didn't work and I feel like shit
Wake up tomorrow and try again, yeah

I went out with my two best friends
Tried anything not to think of you
It didn't work and I feel like shit
Wake up tomorrow and try again
I went out with my two best friends
Tried anything not to think of you
It didn't work and I feel like shit
Wake up tomorrow and try again

END OF THE WATER (FEEL)

If you feel it, then I feel it too
If you believe me, I could be your truth
If you feel it, then I feel it too
If you need me, all I need is you
(Wait)

Why we ghost each other for a week at a time?
Both waiting for each other to reply
Make plans and let 'em fall through
I can't even call you
Let alone call you mine
I can be nonchalant
If that's what you really want
But I'm just glad you and I
Are alive at the same time

If you feel it, then I feel it too
If you believe me, I could be your truth
If you feel it, then I feel it too
If you need me, all I need is you

We can't take back what we never gave
And that distance keeps us safe
But nobody told me that safe is so lonely
Now, I'm checking DMs again
'Til I'm thinking 'bout your face instead
It's d-d-decorated in my head
But can't we act like you and I
Are alive at the same time?
(Alive at the same time?)

If you feel it, then I feel it too
If you believe me, I could be your truth
If you feel it, then I feel it too
If you need me, all I need is you

Do you feel it, 'cause I feel it too?
Do you need it, 'cause I need it too?
Do you feel it, 'cause I feel it too?
And do you need it, 'cause I need it too?

(Do you feel it? Do you feel it? Do you feel it too?)

You know, a little bit of living
A little bit of loving
A little bit of kissing
A little bit of hugging, you know?
That's what I'm feeling

SELF-SABOTAGE

"What this is but"
"Hey guys, just me and Awsten here"

When we talk, I'm never wrong
And if we don't fight, it won't last long, no
Might unplug my phone at night
And when you need me most, I'll miss that flight

'Cause it's avoidable, I'll destroy chances to be
Better than I was before you and me
Now we're at the part where you'll hate what you see, yeah
What the f*ck is wrong with me?

I'm on my way to you, but I self-sabotage
So I might drive my car and crash into your garage, ooh ooh ooh
To get away from you, I'll self-sabotage
If you like when we talk, I'll dislocate my jaw, ooh ooh ooh

What the f*ck is wrong with me? (Yeah, yeah)
What the f*ck is wrong with me? (Yeah, yeah)

It's sad, so sad, we both know it (uh-huh)
Every time I find a good thing, yeah, I throw it
All the way over the edge, and I stay stoic (stoic)
I get the chance to change your mind, still I blow it

You see, I don't really battle
You lead me in the rain (hey)
I'm Nirvana, singing "na na, na na" through the pain
Eddie Vedder sang it better
When he said he hated me
(Well, what the f*ck is wrong with me?)

I'm on my way to you, but I self-sabotage
So I might drive my car and crash into your garage, ooh ooh ooh
To get away from you, I'll self-sabotage
If you like when we talk, I'll dislocate my jaw, ooh ooh ooh

What the f*ck is wrong with me? (Yeah, yeah)
What the f*ck is wrong with me? (Yeah, yeah)

I'm on my way to you, but I self-sabotage
So I might drive my car and crash into your garage, ooh ooh ooh
To get away from you, I'll self-sabotage
If you like when we talk, I'll dislocate my jaw, ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

What the f*ck is wrong with me? (Yeah, yeah)
What the f*ck is wrong with me? (Yeah, yeah)
What the f*ck is wrong with me? (Yeah, yeah)
What the f*ck is wrong with me?

RITUAL

(What if I want to have sex before I get married?)
(Well, I guess you just have to be prepared to die)

My inner child needs a bulletproof vest
And a phone that can't text and twenty years rest
Build a bomb shelter, bite a belt for the stress
Never know what's next, next
Sleeping with my clothes on in case shit goes wrong
Gotta clear my front lawn off
Sleeping with my clothes on in case shit goes wrong
Gotta clear my front lawn

Melatonin, eyes feel heavy tonight
I could sleep for weeks and speak in Z's
Don't look for me (don't look for me)

They're killing me when I'm fast asleep
Are you hearing me when I say you're bleeding me out
With all the things you don't say
I'm living f*cking betrayed
Living like I'm dead and on my own
They're killing me when I'm fast asleep
(Like a ritual)

(Yeah) my inner child needs a bulletproof vest
And a phone that can't text and twenty years rest
Build a bomb shelter, bite a belt for the stress
Never know what's next (next)
Sleeping with my clothes on in case shit goes wrong
Gotta clear my front lawn off
Sleeping with my clothes on in case shit goes wrong
Gotta clear my front lawn

Melatonin, eyes feel heavy tonight
I could sleep for weeks and speak in Z's
Don't look for me (don't look for me)

They're killing me when I'm fast asleep
Are you hearing me when I say you're bleeding me out
With all the things you don't say
I'm living f*cking betrayed
Living like I'm dead and on my own
They're killing me when I'm fast asleep
(Like a ritual)

(Seven, six, five, four, three)

My inner child needs a bulletproof vest
And a phone that can't text and twenty years rest
Build a bomb shelter, bite a belt for the stress
Never know what's next
Sleeping with my clothes on in case shit goes wrong
Gotta clear my front lawn off
Sleeping with my clothes on in case shit goes wrong
Gotta clear my front lawn off

(Shut the f*ck up)

FUCK ABOUT IT

I like you but I need some space
I like you kinda far away
It's not hard to kill a day
Lookin' at your face
I like you but I need some room
Been givin' me your attitude
It doesn't always stay that way
I hate the aftertaste

I don't wanna leave you hangin' on
But when we fight, it's like a marathon
Give me three days, three days alone, yeah

We can f*ck about it later, if you want
It's all we ever really do when something's wrong 'cause you
You don't seem to like it when we talk
I guess I'll see you later, see you later
We can f*ck about it later, if you want
Because we never fix the problems that we've got, baby
You don't seem to like it when we talk
I guess I'll see you later, see you later, yeah

You've been at my crib for like the seventh day up in a row
You've been doing silly things like checking who I follow
I know you're waiting by the phone
But I just wanna be all alone tonight
And it's all right, I won't lie to you
But sometimes, when we fight
It's like scars on my wrist
When I think about the shit that we did to one another, baby

We can f*ck about it later, if you want
It's all we ever really do when something's wrong 'cause you
You don't seem to like it when we talk
I guess I'll see you later, see you later (yeah)
We can f*ck about it later, if you want
Because we never fix the problems that we've got, baby
You don't seem to like it when we talk
I guess I'll see you later, see you later, yeah
Yeah

I don't wanna leave you hangin' on
But it's kinda hard to miss who's never gone
Give me three days, three days alone, yeah

We can f*ck about it later, if you want
It's all we ever really do when something's wrong 'cause you (when something's wrong)
You don't seem to like it when we talk
I guess I'll see you later, see you later (yeah)
We can f*ck about it later, if you want
Because we never fix the problems that we've got, baby
You don't seem to like it when we talk
I guess I'll see you later, see you later, yeah

We can f*ck about it later, if you want
It's all we ever really do when something's wrong 'cause you
You don't seem to like it when I talk
I guess I'll see you later, see you later

CLOSER

But nothing stays the same
I feel love a different way
Yeah, so I contemplate the change
I got my space but what I'd pay
For you

'Cause I love you or I want to
But I don't know how
Because I need to really feel you but we're running around
Because I love you or I want to
Is it easy now?
You only hit me in the evening
When I'm all stressed out

I need you closer or I need it over
Either need you closer or I need it over, yeah

There's nothing left to let go
It's the darkest afterglow
Maybe in another life
We can try to get us right
No, no, no

Because I love you or I want to
But I don't know how
Because I need to really feel you but we're running around
Because I love you, or I want to
Is it easy now?
You only hit me in the evening
When I'm all stressed out

I need you closer or I need it over
Either need you closer or I need it over

'Cause you're the holiday I celebrate too late
You're the eyes that I gave up trying to captivate
You're the song that I love but then overplay
And I'm the B-side throwaway
I hope you never rain on my charade
The lonely part I let myself create
I got my space but what'd I pay?
I've been f*cked so much that
I no longer wait, I sabotage and break my own heart
Just in case

So yeah, I loved you or I tried to
But I don't know how
Used to need you and feel you
But we ran it all down

'Cause I loved you or tried to
Can it be easy now?
Or will it kill me on the evening
When I let you down?

I need you closer or I need it over
Either need you closer or I need it over

A NIGHT OUT ON EARTH

Am I missing out? Am I having fun?
Is it just me or is it everyone?
Desensitized, the love I get is virtual
Now Jesus hates my guts, it's getting personal

It's a night out on Earth
The last one for a while, can't get worse
A night out on Earth
A night out on Earth

Now if I ever feel jealous (what)
I just turn it into lyrics and I f*ckin' sell it
And now, when I get depressed and make songs
I turn pain into rent and sing along
Still, I get hit by Houston friends like "Do you remember me?"
Some version, I guess
(Dude, oh my god, just, just f*ckin')
Tell me what you want about your brand, band
Will I make a post shouting out your lemonade stand?
"Aw, come on man, we're bros
Like I've known you forever, I watched your little band grow"
(Uh-huh) well now it's "f*ck you, and everyone you know
And I'ma make sure you get it through your head before you go" (asshole)

See, now I wear my red flags like a cape
Got superhuman strength when I'm f*cking up your day
I'm coming in first, so pour the Gatorade
Life gave me lemons, now I bleed lemonade (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now, I wear my red flags like a cape
It gets so f*cking hot under all this shade
Everywhere I walk's a toxic parade
The glove don't fit, but I wear it anyway, ay, ay

It's a night out on Earth
The last one for a while, can't get worse
A night out on Earth
A night out on Earth

(What I'm saying the bottom line is)
I could drive my Lexus overnight back home to Texas
I could fall asleep in my old bed
'Cause life got kinda hectic
On the day I got my necklace
Now I just wanna fall asleep in my own
It's a hell of a time
Was I loved or was I right?
I kissed a couple people in a week
Am I gonna go to Hell in my sleep?
Or will God forgive me?

I gotta hide everybody that I like
Did therapy four times this week from my bike
Born January 17th, I'm overthinking everything
A Capricorn with devil horns
Like triple six, but baby, I'm f*cking dying for you
If it was up to me, no one I know, know anyone I know
'Cause everyone I know knows another me
It's getting hard to keep track
Of everything I keep locked behind my back (let's go)

'Cause it's a night out on Earth
Just another night out on Earth
A night out on Earth
Just another night out on Earth

I ain't jumping out the window
I'm leaving when the night goes
I ain't gonna let go
Still jumping at the tempo
'Cause that's just how this shit goes
I ain't jumping out the window
Stay living at the tempo

(With I'm a natural blue)
(I'm very stoked to have them on the phone right now, what's up?)
Hey, how's it going?
(Going good, how are you?)
And we're not doing too bad
(No complaints on this beautiful day)
Nope, not at all
(Everyone get stoked, check out Waterparks)
(Thank you so much to Otto and Awsten for calling in)
(Once again, this is Waterparks)
