Tracklist
- how long will it take to walk a mile? (interlude): A raw, stream-of-consciousness gratitude list that feels like a desperate, whispered anchor against the chaos, finding solace in the mundane to keep from drowning.
- F**K EVERYONE: A nihilistic, hedonistic rampage through empty encounters, weaponizing sexuality as both a shield and a bomb in a defiant, self-destructive rejection of emotional intimacy.
- One Thing: A masterclass in carnal confidence, where desire is distilled into a singular, commanding focus that prioritizes raw physical connection over emotional entanglement.
- d£aler: A hauntingly intimate confession of addiction and escape, where the deepest goodbye is reserved not for a lover, but for the *** who numbed the pain of letting go.
- SPIDERS: A claustrophobic ballad of codependency that equates identity with possession, where love is a parasitic exchange and intimacy feels like being consumed alive.
- Penny Out Of Nothing: A portrait of performative resilience built on lies, where the narrator conjures miracles from thin air to mask a profound internal collapse she refuses to acknowledge.
- Walk All Over You: A blistering reclaiming of power from a condescending partner, transforming accumulated resentment into a triumphant, stomping anthem of self-respect and finality.
- Post *** Clarity: A tender, bewildered admission that post-coital clarity doesn’t bring detachment, but instead reveals a stubborn, inexplicable love that defies all previous patterns.
- SAD SOB STORY! 🙂: A cathartic, sneering dismissal of a toxic ex, swapping bitterness for liberated indifference and reclaiming narrative control by refusing to engage with their “sad sob story.”
- CAN WE IGNORE IT? 🙁: A desperate plea for a temporary reprieve from the suffocating weight of mental illness, seeking numbness over solutions and love that enables escape rather than healing.
- why do i feel better when i hurt you?: A chilling self-interrogation into the toxic thrill of emotional sabotage, where love manifests as a cycle of verbal violence and intimacy feels like a battlefield.
- Not Like That Anymore: A raw, progress-not-perfection anthem of recovery, finding grim triumph in small victories like declining a call, even if the broader landscape remains bleak.
- who f**king cares?: A devastatingly honest snapshot of depressive stagnation, where the hope to someday feel happy is overshadowed by the crushing weight of present apathy.
- ur an absolute c word (interlude): A fragmented, emotionally volatile outro that cycles through vulnerability, betrayal, and performative rage, ending the album on a note of beautifully unresolved chaos.
