Listen to Bury Me at Makeout Creek:

New album Laurel Hell out now.

Lyrics:
I don't smoke
Except for when I'm missing you
To remember your mouth, how it
Tasted true
And I don't smoke
Except for after I've held you, baby
Being with you
Makes the flame burn good

So if you need to be mean
Be mean to me
I can take it and put it inside of me
If your hands need to break
More than trinkets in your room
You can lean on my arm
As you break my heart

I'm what's left of when we
Swam under the moon
Now the rest of my days are just
Waiting for when
You come down and tell me
I was meant for you, baby
Being with you
Makes the flame burn good

If you need to be mean
Be mean to me
I can take it and put it inside of me
If your hands need to break
More than trinkets in your room
You can lean on my arm
As you break my heart

Just don't leave me alone
Wondering where you are
I am stronger than you give me
Credit for

If your hands need to break
More than trinkets in your room
You can lean on my arm
As you break my heart

the "if you need to be mean, be mean to me, i can take it and put it inside of me" part is so relatable because for so long i just accepted the torment of my friends just because i didnt want to be alone, but sometimes it doesnt work out and im alone again

[Karolinacarm]

"I can take It" in fact, I can't.

[eurus]

i see everyone talking about abusive relationships, but to me, this music is about someone you love that is so deeply hurt and you just want to take their pain away

[theriverwalks]

"just don't leave me alone wondering where you are.."

"I AM STRONGER THEN YOU GIVE ME CREDIT FOR."

STOP I AM CRYING THAT HITS HARD IF YOUVE BEEN IN ABUSIVE/TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS

[sftie]

“and if you need to be mean, be mean to me.”
*lord.*

And" if you need to be mean be mean to me" hits when you have abusive parents and you rather them take their anger out on you rather than your siblings

شكرا ميتسكي على صنعك لهذه الأغاني إنها صناديق نخزن فيها ذكرياتنا ونرجع نتذكرها في كل حين نفتحها.

[madisonmaldonadosanchez]

You don't know how much I adore this song, I would like to tattoo it in my thoughts

[Cloud]

I DON'T SMOKE
EXPECT FOR WHEN I'M MISSING YOU🗣🔥

[goopernation]

“IM WHATS LEFT AFTER WE SWAM UNDER THE MOON”???? WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TOO ME

[dewi_k]

"I am stronger than you give me credit for" Hits so hard for me because my parents don't care about my mental health as much as they should and think i didn't remember anything while my mental age is already a fully grown adult, even my friends think so😕

[LilZaza-bpqk]

“i dont smoke unless for when im missing you. to remember your mouth how it tasted true” literal chills.

[wilbertrb]

I HAVE A MENTAL BREAKDOWN EVERYTIME I LISTEN TO THIS SONG😂😂😂 CLEAN ISLE IN MY THIGHTS!!😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉❤

[maxmaxmax-]

storytime 'cause i've known this song for like one year but it's so relatable for a situationship i had four years ago with a guy i met just after breaking up with my partner. he had just left his boyfriend too, and we sought each other. i told him i was hurt and he said he didn't care, but to not get too attached. i never smoked up until that point, but i couldn't say no when he offered me a cigarrette- just because it was him. i lost because i did fall in love, and when he left at the end of the year to pursue his career path i thought about going after him but it would've been too risky, too stupid, too obsessed over someone who wasn't even my bf or anything.

i mostly don't smoke anymore for health reasons, but when i do i remember that i fell in love once. just once.

[moon_watcher]

i have chills everytime this song starts

[bloodanalyst]

"if you need to be mean, be mean to be, i can take it and put it inside of me" LITERAL CHILLS GOD I LOVE THIS SONG

[yinuo-pblx]

"if you need to be mean, be mean to me, i can take it and put it inside of me" i love this part specifically bc i think many ppl can relate to it including me... i let people walk all over me. although i never say anything of it, it hurts, and especially my friends when they make fun of my insecurities, or when they just make fun of me in general.

[EmoO_o]

Listening to this when smoking hits different

[IwkuraLain]

Mitski, since I was 6 I heard your music and I liked it so much. You changed my whole life… When I had depression at 8, your music saved me. Your lyrics were glued to my brain.
