The Wedding

I losing my fucking mind
Over you
Not even close to
Over you
I'll apologize in advance and say
I haven't thought about you in a positive light in the past three weeks
Sorry that I remember every word, every vocal inflection that you make my memory is photographic when it comes to convictions
Sorry for to be the bearer of bad news
While your cousin bears the rings
At the wedding
I wasn't invited to
I guess I just haven't been the same without you because
We used to be stuck together like paper crafts and glue
And if you think this will stay the same then you're probably wrong
I wish I could be a catalyst in song
And who am I to think that our flame wouldn't die out
When all that was kindling was paper hearts and lighter fluid
I've got my heart out on a sleeve
That I'm knitting up for you
I'll convince my self that one is greater than two
That one is greater than two
Sorry for to be the bearer of bad news
While your cousin bears the rings
At the wedding
I wasn't invited to
I guess I just haven't been the same without you because
We used to be stuck together like paper crafts and glue

I'm not here to serenade
More or less just here to exchange a wallow
We outgrew each other and that's a bitter pill to swallow
I saw a placid lake that reminded me of your eyes and now I can't breathe
And That juxtapose was a verbal rose built to say you take my breath away
And oh, how I wish I had actually said that
I saw a beaming star in the moonlight that reminded me of our distance
Get it it's funny because normally the connotations of stars are positive images in love songs
I'm not that good at music
If that was your concern, be thankful, I'm addressing it in
the bridge
And it seems like our daydreams about each other don't mean anything at all anymore
My limelight doesn't hit your eyes like before
I'm sorry if that's disappointing news but if it makes you feel better I haven't been the same without you
And if you want to, then I probably want to too.
I'm just waiting to see what you're planning for us to do
If we're driving off a bridge tonight
I wouldn't mind it
I wouldn't mind it
I saw a boy playing basketball and he missed his shot oh that sounds familiar
Get it? Haha it's funny because I missed my shot with you boo yes haha I'm funny now please be my honey again
Ok yeah that didn't work
And maybe this didn't end on even terms
Maybe I'm lost inside of my own head
And you were the compass that guided me through
It's hopeless like Hitler coming back to life
It's hopeless like Fetuses raining from the sky
And it's hopeless like me making it through the night
And hopeless like the ambulance getting to me before I die
And it seems like our daydreams about each other don't mean anything at all anymore
My limelight doesn't hit your eyes like before
I'm sorry if that's disappointing news but if it makes you feel better I haven't been the same without you
And if you want to, then I probably want to too.
I'm just waiting to see what you're planning for us to do
If we're driving off a bridge tonight
I wouldn't mind it
I wouldn't mind it

I'm not sure that this will look any different
In hindsight
Everyone seems to act like they care about you
And that's not right in my eyes
I'm the kind of guy that believes in miracles
But I don't see one coming anytime soon, so
Let go of your faith
It'll save you from the disappointment in the end
I try but I can't reach
You with my signals, you're chalking up 700 missed calls now
I wish I could say that the Sunset sets our silhouettes in place
But that's a trivial wish for me to ask one can't simply go back to the past
And the past is locked away and the future's key is turning also
I wish I could say that the sun would set our silhouettes in place for a day
At this point I'm sounding pretty stupid
Sorry but my mind is a jungle and I haven't adapted to swing from its vines
I want to croak an apology
But my thought webs loop into nooses and I asphyxiate
You don't seem to take interest anyway
You seem to be noticing that it's pointless and that you should
Let go of your faith
It'll save you from disappointment in the end
I've learned and I can't wait
To start the cycle all over again and continue punching myself in the face
I wish I could say that the Sunset sets our silhouettes in place
But that's a trivial wish for me to ask one can't simply go back to the past
And the past is locked away and the future's key is turning also
I wish I could say that the sun would set our silhouettes in place for a day

It's Only Adolescence

I think about you like you're the love of my whole life
But you aren't
I wanna hookup maybe makeout in a closet
Then fallout a week later
Like normal kids do
But we aren't normal kids
We can't just have fun without seven thousand different strings and stipulations suffocating us
We're adults in younger bodies
That still Cry like hormonal preteens when things don't go as planned
And we've tried twice before
And it just hasn't worked out
As much as I want it to
As much as I'm in love with you
With my whole heart
It's still beating
Is yours?
Step out of your shell for a little while
Look me in the eyes and say that wanted this to work out
Because I'm starting to doubt that you ever did
Maybe you just like burning in the atmosphere
Maybe we aren't supposed to be happy
And maybe that's okay with me if it's alright with you
I don't hate you
I just want to be away from you for a very long period of time
I want you to sit around for 2 months and think about how awesome I am
And the idiom "Third Time is a Charm"
You think everything is your fault
You're guilty when I'm sad
Trust me that's only half of the time and the fact that you think that it's all because of you is selfish in it's own right
Step out of your shell for a little while
Look me in the eyes and say that wanted this to work out
Because I'm starting to doubt that you ever did
Maybe you just like burning in the atmosphere
Maybe we aren't supposed to be happy
And maybe that's okay with me if it's alright with you

Knives / Bag of Nails
01:53
|

And you say I've got my whole life
Ahead of me
But I would disagree
And say I've got a few breaths left
At best
My throat's tight
Like the noose that I'm making out of the words you've said to me
Sorry if I'm making you uncomfortable
I'm just a hopeless case
And right about now I'd rather be
In a million different places than the mental one I'm in
You take my breath away
But in the way
Where I'm gonna die
If you don't stop
And I don't mind that at all
And I'm so suicidal
Except this time I'm involving you in it
I hate you
I love you
I'm sharpening the knives
I hate me
I love you
They're just for you and I
What's the point of living when we'll just be in a bag full of nails on the highway?
And who am I to be the one that says that you should change
When I've been a piece of shit for 16 years straight?

Apple Gro(o)ve

Why is it called an Adam's apple if Eve ate it?
You stab your friends in the back, but I don't mind because we're only acquaintances
Don't hold your breath, just let it out and keep you head turned over while in this swimming pool
Sorry if that was a little harsh, I was kidding. Although, I never lie unless I say I'm kidding.
Unlike you.
Hit the gas, then put it in neutral.
Don't look at the screaming people just let it lose control, and we'll fall.
When we hit the ground, don't be surprised when I'm not there.
You eat my soul like candy corn, and stomp on me like a shopping mall.
By the way, here's your valentine.
This feels like that one time that I had a dream where I tortured you until I woke up.
Except the tables are turned and I'm not gonna wake up anytime soon and I'm okay with that.
I miss learning how to tie my shoes.
Instead of trying to learn how to escape from myself.
It isn't actually you. Sorry if I came off angry in fact it's still the same.
I'm running from myself and building walls between us out of clay.
The sky looks like kelp forests and your eyes look like the sky.
I'm too mesmerized to question why.
Let's hope that I can figure myself out so I'll see you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.

I've Been There
02:30
|

It's okay to cut yourself
It's okay hate it when you do it but then continue a night later
We've been there
It's okay to do drugs
To run from all your problems
But it's not okay when drugs become them
I've been there
I'm sorry if you've ever stayed up late
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing your fan would cut your head off
I've been there
I'm just a fucked up guy when it comes to life
And you are fucked up too
We all are
I've seen some fucked up things done to people
And I have done them to,
I've been there,
I've been low
I've hit rock bottom at least a thousand times before
And you can pick yourself up
Trust me, you can make it
It's okay
I've been there
It's okay to want to swerve your car off the road
And into the lake that's far below
I've done that
In the dreams that plague each night of my life
And it's okay if you bad dreams too
We all do
It's okay to cry into your best friend's sleeve
And not say anything for hours, I've done that, it's okay
I've been there
I'm just a fucked up guy when it comes to life
And you are fucked up too
We all are
I've seen some fucked up things done to people
And I have done them to,
I've been there,
I've been low
I've hit rock bottom at least a thousand times before
And you can pick yourself up
Trust me, you can make it
It's okay
I've been there

Rain
01:54

You smile
And it's kind of pretty
But I can tell when you
Want to break down
And the part that hurts the most is when I can't be there when you do
(Not to watch or anything that's creepy I mean to help you through it)
It's weird for me because
I never thought I could feel so
Empathetic, it's pathetic to me
sometimes
So I'll just say
None of your scars will fade with
time
But the pain that comes from them,
It will pass
And if you want I could be the one who helps you forget about your rain
Rain, go away,
Rain, go away
Even if it's just me laying atop some monkey bars at the park when it's sprinkling
You could chill under that and be dry
Metaphorically speaking, of course
