After School

Notebook (Lyrics)
[Intro]
Write this down, baby

[Verse 1]
I'm not physically fulfilled, you never held it down all night
And you're selfish 'cause you always think your ass is always right
And you never see the lesson when it's right in front your eyes
Are you writing this shit down? 'Cause baby boy, I think it's time

[Pre-Chorus]
Time you learned a thing or two
'Bout how to keep a girl like me with you
Time you learned how to switch it up
I'm tired of ridin' 'til you just give up
'Cause I didn't sign up for this
Actin' like your time's more valuable
When I sacrificed blood for you
I sacrificed blood

[Chorus]
Write this shit in your notebook, baby
Since you never wrote lovе letters to me, to mе
Don't forget all the things I've taught you
You'll need it for someone who isn't me, ain't me

[Verse 2]
What's the point in your "I love yous" when they don't hold any weight?
You touch your computer much more than you have ever touched me
Every night you come back home, then you just go back to sleep
Laying next to just a friend who occasionally fucks me

[Pre-Chorus]
Time you know just how I feel
Since you threw me away forever
Time you start growing up
Age is nothing if you're not evolved
Yeah, I didn't have time for this
But I still gave you my all
I sacrificed blood for you
I sacrificed blood

[Chorus]
Write this shit in your notebook, baby
Since you never wrote love letters to me, to me
Don't forget all the things I've taught you
You'll need it for someone who isn't me, ain't me

Test Me (Lyrics)
[Intro]
Haha
Woo

[Verse 1]
Hey God, I'll be the jester
Entertain ya to the best of
My ability, when I suffer, no
Fragility when I enter
Came here for a reason, ah-ah
So stop complaining
All have offseasons, ah-ah
It's not just a joke or a lesson to live through
Every which way and second is a breakthrough

[Chorus]
I'm mortal, ah-ah-ah
Defected by this form, ah-ah-ah
So I'd rather be tested by goddesses resting
Their heads up on pillows of all they have learned

[Verse 2]
I'm not to be forgottеn
Drop your books when I walk in
Magic talks without talking
I make the most bеfore the coffin
Born to be desiring, ah-ah
Gotta learn, yeah, eyes are always on the next goal
But space isn't there to always be filled up
It's the quiet, the downtime to breathe in my lungs

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm mortal, ah-ah-ah
Defected by this form, ah-ah-ah
So I beg to be tested by goddesses resting
Their heads up on pillows of all they have learned
'Cause I'm mortal, ah-ah-ah
Test me, I'm mortal, ah-ah-ah
And I beg to be tested by goddesses resting
Their heads up on pillows of all they have learned
'Cause I'm mortal, ah-ah-ah
Defected by this form, ah-ah-ah
And I beg to be tested by goddesses resting
Their heads upon pillows of all they have learned

[Outro]
'Cause I'm mortal, ah-ah-ah (Give me an A-plus if I'm doing this thing right)
Defected by this form, ah-ah-ah
And I'd rather be tested by goddesses resting
Their heads up on pillows of all they have learned

Brain & Heart (Lyrics)
[Verse 1]
Help me when I'm at a loss for words
Bring up all my memories folder please, in the temporal lobe
False loving when I was illogical
Didn't know they held each other's hands 'cause they made one whole

[Pre-Chorus]
Brain stem yells temperature
Arise now, sweat raindrops down my silky flesh
Buttering up my consciousness
Cook, cook, cook now
Ability to sleep sound
Throughout the star, time's an illusion
If you just remove it

[Chorus]
When did humans start to separate brain and heart
As if they could stay alive alone?
Flip it around the other way
If they were apart and you had no power start
Or no database
Only your shell remains
What fun is it to be so calculated
Or be taken advantage of 'cause your heart's too trusting?
Silent expressed, push my head into my chest
Bind them up, forever wed
"Don't drift too far," they said
