let me blink, don’t disappear
I only want to be your friend
Stay here
Blow me off just like the rest
Put your knife right through my chest
I know
I promise my intent was fine, but somewhere along the line
I fucked up
All I do is bitch and moan, a leper king upon the throne
By myself
But I’m always getting better, I’m always getting practice
But all my vile memories have got me by the throat
I see you on my mattress, I see you on the floor
I try to dream of better days, but it leaves me wanting more
It’s ok now, carry on
I don’t need you now, I’m happy
I’m just another sad white boy, moaning about all of his problems

Stuck at home, I’m watching Star Wars
I gotta go to work at 5
I hate my job and if I could I’d quit today
I don’t even have a ride
I’ve been paying bills and watching TV
I really hate being alone
I should go out instead of staying at home by myself
I guess I’ll see you at the show
Maybe I should take a vacation
Maybe I’m overwhelmed with stress
Maybe I should buckle down and fix myself
At least I should give my best
I’m not perfect, you’re not perfect
We’re all fucking failures, but in the end we all lay in the ground

Ef U, Pay Me

I pop a pill all by myself, can’t shake the thrill it gives me
It calms my shakes
The doors are locked, I’m on my own
I tell myself I’m not alone
And I’m not lying, it’s my fault I’m this way
I walk to work almost every day
It’s a waste of time, but I got paid
I woke up last night on my Floor, with one hand on the door
And the others gripping empty bottles
So here I am, a deadbeat taking pennies out the fountain
Selling out my name
So here I go, running from the things that pull me down
Selling out my name
I don’t want to go, but I know I can’t stay long here because I don’t belong here
Why won’t you say my name? Is it because we aren’t the same as when we first were friends
Like posters on my wall I ripped down
I know that I tried my best
It wasn’t enough, but I know that life isn’t fair
Fuck you, I’m trying to be something I’m not
I know I’m a mess and I’m sorry that I wasn’t there

Home Alone 2

You can sleep on my floor, you can tell everyone that you’re my friend
Tell your secrets and run away
We can sleep all day, I just need to breathe a bit
Lay awake in the morning, sleepless night that turned to waste
All that’s left is an empty space, where you once laid
Something’s got to give me a taste
No I don’t wanna wait anymore
Can anybody hear me obsess over nothing?
Give me something
Come closer, don’t let me in
I’m on my way, I would travel through time as space
To take you away, but there’s on thing I’ve got to know
If I told you I cared, if I told you I’m scared, what would you say?
Would we start over and feel the same? Would you remember my name?
I don’t wanna know, I don’t care if you go
Just tell the world about me when I’m gone
If you could only see who I’m trying to be
We’d run away and live our lives in song

Nervous

I can’t do anything right, I’m a mess, I’m obsessed with feeling ok
I don’t know much and I swear I’m not stupid, but observant is something I am not
I’m scared, don’t fuck this up
I know I need to relax
This is losing my attention, but I swear I’m not bored
I just need to find myself. I’m coming back
Don’t assume I’m happy because I’m smiling, I’m just nervous
Am I worth it? Am I wasting your time?
You’ve lived a life I can’t fathom, but I’d rather be a footnote than no one at all

Scared of the Dark

Any time, anywhere, you can tell me that you need me
I could use a boost in confidence, just say you won’t forget me
I don’t know what you’re saying, I can’t hear that well
I’m not choosing not to listen
Anyone can tell I’m a mess, I’m obsess
Sometimes I repeat myself, because I just want you to hear me
Can anybody tell me what’s that light outside my door?
To be honest, I’m not sleeping well and I woke up on my floor
I just need some sleep, I need to stop complaining
But I’m really fucking lonely since you went away
Please come home, I promise that I will do the dishes
You won’t even have to ask me for anything anymore
This is a trip and I can’t let you slip away
I wonder if you notice what’s been keeping me awake
My eyes are out of focus, the sun is up, and I’m still awake

After tonight, tomorrow seems so easy
I know I’m alone, no one’s here to save me
I wrote letter after letter explaining my side
I don’t know when I’ll be home, it’ll probably be late
Drift off to sleep, don’t you dare stay up and wait
I’m not worth your time, I’m not ok
I just want to know how to breathe when you’re around
I just want to seethe your hair looks with leaves on the ground
I’m falling
After tonight, today seemed so easy
I laid down in bed for a moment of sleep and I screamed
I’m falling

I’m not a sight for sore eyes and you’d probably like me better with your eyes closed
Feel my heart beat steady, and I’ll be here when yours gets heavy
I’m not exactly worth it and I’m so fucking far from perfect, but you’ve held me tight through stormy weather and I’ll hold your hand till it’s all better
I’m weak I can’t stand
Pull me close again
Remember when we met that night, and stayed up late till 4 or 5
We talked a lot about our lives, and when I left you kissed me twice
Now I wake up next to you and smile
Because everything’s alright
We used to sit alone and hurt ourselves to pass the time
But I’m not afraid to kiss your scars, I’m not afraid to show you my heart
Look at the lights, don’t they look like the stars?
We are never apart no matter where you are
I don’t want to feel this way with anyone else
You make me happy, something I couldn’t do myself

My Floor

I’ve been dying all alone
RIP DA BONG, I’m only happy when I’m stoned
I’m selfish and I’m useless, but you already knew this
I can’t breathe, I can’t sleep
So lock me out, I know some things I wish I didn’t
I’m just trying to get through to you, but I’ll never admit it
Everything’s a competition that I will never win, and I’m sorry for flaking in you over and over again
I always cancel plans, because I can’t get myself out of this bed
I don’t understand you, you don’t understand me
That’s ok, I guess I’ll talk to you tomorrow
If I could write a metaphor to tell you how I’m feeling, I’d probably compare it to the cracks that are on my floor
Play along, play along, stop playing with yourself
I’m not asking a lot, but I’m asking too much
Rip the bong with me some time
We can talk about whatever

Take me home, this is way too much
I swear I’ve been here before
You said you’re sorry, I don’t give a fuck
You’re not welcome here
And I swear to god that I don’t need you anymore
You were never my friend
I guess I see that now
I’m not sad that it’s over
I’m just mad that I let it start
