Talking Shit 03:39
I’ve been talking shit recently about some people that don’t even deserve it I’ve been talking out the side of my mouth That is just a distraction, because I hate most interactions Once I fake a couple more then I’ll bounce And I’ll get drunker than expected And I’m sorry I regret it I just need a drink to calm my nerves down Isn’t that what I always say? I can’t take another sip, at least not right now I just need to get a grip and find someone to hold me down I need to get a grip on my life and someone in the night to hold onto I need to get a grip on my life and someone in the night to hold onto, hold on to I still hunt for your scent just like an animal would I still think about us when I know that I should not So I’ll grab my coat off that hook on your door And I’ll fake my last smile knowing I’m not coming here anymore, no not anymore I fall in love with everyone that I know and I’ve got such a problem with letting go On the outside I’m fine, I’ve got this happy heart But I’m a total wreck when I’m alone in the dark, it’s so hard Isn’t that what I always say? I can’t take another sip, at least not right now I just need to get a grip and find someone to hold me down I need to get a grip on my life and someone in the night to hold onto I need to get a grip on my life and someone in the night to hold onto, hold on to

Sit Around 02:31
Well if I hate you so much Why do I keep writing you songs? And if I hate you so much Why were those texts I sent so long? So long I don’t wanna be a mess you made I don’t wanna feel so thrown away I don’t really wanna do anything I wanna sit around and die And if I hate you so much Why do I answer when you call? I don’t wanna be a mess you made I don’t wanna feel so thrown away I don’t really wanna do anything I wanna sit around and die
3.
Burnout 03:32
I’m dragged along By all the things that I’ve done wrong They seem to find me Even when I tried to hide and run away, run away Da da da da da da da da da da It’s inconsistent inside my mind There’s sunshine, but sometimes it gets terrifying There’s no one else who can see this beauty No one else can feel these violent storms Early death and heart disease Wrap around my family tree Tight til branches dropped leaves And I don’t wanna be an addition to the pile Restrict me from the vial now Collect me before I burnout It’s inconsistent inside my mind There’s sunshine, but sometimes it gets terrifying There’s no one else who can see this beauty No one else can feel these violent storms You wouldn’t really wanna talk to me with the way I’ve been You wouldn’t really wanna open up that wound again You should’ve been my first and last love I should’ve given you much more time Instead of spending most nights crying This is the last night of my life It’s inconsistent inside my mind There’s sunshine, but sometimes it gets terrifying There’s no one else who can see this beauty No one else can feel these violent storms
4.
I swear to God, if I go in tomorrow and I am picking weeds once again I will be the most upset, and I will curse under my breath But I will not deny myself a pleasant day, yeah I swear to God, if I open my phone and I see everyone complaining again I will just take a deep breath, maybe not say things I’ll regret I will just remind myself to stay away, yeah Wo0o0o0oah The hands on the clock have all been moving in slo0o0ow motion There’s a singer in me that just wants to be free And dance around with the celebrities Well I hate the rich, but I hate being poor I don’t think I like this job anymore I don’t have me a college degree I put my foot in my mouth constantly But I’ve got a way with words to make up for that I took a break from killing it but now I’m back Wo0o0o0oah The hands on the clock have all been moving in slo0o0ow motion
5.
Windmill 03:36
Maybe someday soon we’ll set that Windmill on fire, Maybe we’ll be stuck here for our whole lives I cannot wait to see you in those bright lights, They won’t be shining ‘round here for some time Til then I hope that you don’t find somebody else who speaks just right You got me all wrong, you got me all wrong, I’m not some noble man or poet I laugh at dark jokes, I’ve lied to my folks and I know all my family knows it They see one side of me, everyone does I try to talk and make her blush, she says she just can’t swim enough Well I don’t really like the beach that much But I keep going just to keep hearing all these red flags that should waver me I just couldn’t get enough, Loved her attention far too much, plus I just couldn’t sleep my days away Wooooah, stop pretending like you’re different than me
6.
Critical 02:46
I’m a little critical of everyone I meet or know Maybe it’s high time I realized, I’m not the only star of the show These lights will go on without me, these lights will go off just the same I’m not an integral part of this world I inhabit, This life is not long but I swear I will grab it someday, Far away Even if I don’t agree with the words that I’m hearing, Just to hear them is alright, it’s alright You don’t have to hate, you don’t have to change everyone who thinks those ways I think it’s time I took a bit of my own advice Wearing my whole life stitched bold on my sleeves, Has exposed the dark parts of me that I didn’t want you to see I never asked to be this way, No I never asked to hesitate, And I’m never nice Instead again, I am being impolite to all my friends Even if I don’t agree with the words that I’m hearing, Just to hear them is alright, it’s alright You don’t have to hate, you don’t have to change everyone who thinks those ways I think it’s time I took a bit of my own advice
7.
Carcinogens 02:22
You tore the love that we danced in And I’ve been planning out my revenge But I must admit that dying alone won’t be so bad I won’t be hurting anyone, I won’t be blaming anyone, oh no This is the third night this week I’ve said that nobody needs me And I’ve been proving it I’m disappointed in myself, my choices put me in this hell And I’m breathing in carcinogens Cigarettes, more cigarettes still I’m not breathing any less I’m fine, I am fine So let’s parade around the town, Promise my mask will not come down I’m fine, I am fine This is the third night this week I’ve said that nobody needs me And I’ve been proving it I’m disappointed in myself, my choices put me in this hell And I’m breathing in carcinogens
8.
Bonfire 03:01
The bonfire and my chess games with Mike, and everything else I like They are keeping me alive I am glad that I never did act on Any of my darkest thoughts, because those are not who you are At the end of the day, when your pillow meets your face, Will it be met with your wet cheeks and your puffy eyes? Your eyes I held your waist, So you didn’t fall along the way It’s your first day in roller skates, It’s the first good day in my brain You were the light that would shine on me, In the times I felt my most lonely, I was shouting death to my enemies Now I’ve been hanging with my brother and I have been loving my whole life, most of the time Making amends with my mother and I think that we’re gonna be alright And when she dies, I will die too And at the end of the day, when your pillow meets your face, Will it be met with your wet cheeks and your puffy eyes? Your eyes I used to hold so much anger I let resentment rot me away And does it creep up sometimes? Sure, but I don’t care cuz it never stays for long
9.
And without warning I feel it creeping This feeling that nobody cares, Convince myself everyone else would’ve rather I’d not been there And I want to know what you’ll say when I die Another selfish thought that I have all of the time And I want to know what you’ll say when I die Will you get off that fence and will you just pick a side please? And if I wasn’t meant to be here, then why was I even made? Just a joke for the creator, I’d wager that I was a mistake that got away And I want to know what you’ll say when I die Another selfish thought that I have all of the time And I want to know what you’ll say when I die Will you get off that fence and will you just pick a side please?
10.
Don’t feel like living today But I’m surrounded By people that force me to stay And keep me grounded, I guess I don’t feel like drinking today And that’s astounding I don’t really feel anything So why was I counting on you? And you could tear my limbs apart, You could search through all my organs And you’d never find a heart I said “I didn’t care when you left” And I meant every single word that left my mouth
11.
Fell asleep in my jeans again, I will take them off in the morning Forgot to brush my teeth again, I will brush them all in the morning If I ever get up in the morning Cuz I’m fun, I’m a show but a good one At least you know you can get a laugh from me I am fun, it’s something everyone can see But you don’t really want to, it’s such a pity I’m fun Living in Margaritaville I’ve been swigging swill since the morning Now all I see are insects in bed I will brush them off in the morning If I ever get up in the morning Cuz I’m fun, I’m a show but a good one At least you know you can get a laugh from me I am fun, it’s something everyone can see But you don’t really want to, it’s such a pity I’m fun
