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

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

A Pleasant Day
02:07
|
|||
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

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

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

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

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

Without Warning
02:35
|
|||
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?

Creature of Habit
01:26
|

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

Fifth of July
03:29
|

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
