Fool 04:27
lyrics
Forcing myself to crack a smile Obliteration of self worth like a toothless crocodile Of all the things I never said Lies came out on top and oh most pertinent And so I fall out of love Before I can get enough I fight on opposite lines Without a motive defined Forever old over lips That I never got to kiss Fold over on little words I don’t wanna remember I’m a fool, I’m a fool I’m a fool, I’m a fool For you Forcing myself to open my eyes I am a sleepless child, my lack of energy is no surprise Of all the things I never did Stupidity reigned supreme and apologies came right in with the assist And so I force out old lyrics I genuinely don’t remember when I was that optimistic And I crash and I burn and I toss and I turn and breath and I heave and I yell and I yearn I’m never going to save myself, I’m never going to learn I’m a fool, I’m a fool I’m a fool, I’m a fool For you I’ve made mistakes, more than enough I may be man, but I’m not tough You tell me that I shouldn’t feel This way but I can’t seem to heal From everything that I’ve seen And I’ve felt, I wanna leave I’m gonna be the last person to see me I’m a fool, I’m a fool I’m a fool, I’m a fool For you

Ever Were 02:44
lyrics
This isn’t the end For you my friend Forget everything you’ve received Regret everything that you’ve sent A new beginning is coming for you Now you know what you have to do Just keep cool and keep composure Don’t worry if you fail or if you don’t get closure You’re gonna stop feeling so sick You’re gonna truly survive right through it Don’t worry if it isn’t a “yes” Soon enough you’ll feel better, much better than you ever were Ever were You’ll be much more well-rested and alert than you ever ever Ever were Than when you were alone I will shelter you from storm I will revitalize the suburbs I will praise the ground that you walk on By gazing up at Mother Earth’s stars up above you With your hand in mine And no one else’s I could start working on a smile That covers up my scars from prior decisions I’m gonna stop feeling so sick I’m gonna find some more confidence And I know it’s a risk But happiness just a chance And I wanna make you happier than you ever were Ever were Than before you weren’t with me I’ll forget the prospects that never were Never were And never were as pretty as you

There Is Still Something Missing 03:36
lyrics
If a couple who cannot speak can communicate their feelings better than me Then I guess I'll stay this weak until I learn to find my bravery And if a couple who never see each other have a positive outlook on life Then I guess I'll remain a bother to distant lovers to whom I've given time You are pretty, my heart sinks You're beautiful, I cannot sing You are gorgeous, I just sleep Your eyes are crystals, I'm dirt cheap If a couple that is strugglin g from being too supportive I treat it like it has to be some fucked up rare disorder And if a couple's too distracted by feeling too much love They probably just haven't found anyone better that they could think of You are a treasure, I am trash You're oh so sweet, I'm spoiled bad You're so composed, I'm damaged goods You are a charm, I've got no use You are a queen, I'm just a joke You are restraint, I am a rope You're a first prize, I'm second gear You're everything, I'm barely here I don't expect you to feel for me I don't expect a fucking thing My expectations may seem crass But your heart works, mine's been attacked

I'm Mad At You For Being Beautiful 04:00
lyrics
I’m mad at you for being beautiful I’m mat at myself for being too scared to talk to you It’s not fair that you get to be so praised And I am stuck praising you alone You’ll never know how high of a pedestal I’ve put you on You’ll never know how much I’ve always liked you You’ll never know how my heart sinks a little bit each time I see you And whenever you speak to me it’s a blessing You’ll never let me tell you how I feel But you’re probably better off not knowing If you knew what I thought about you You’d never want to see me again And that’s the way it will be We’ll part ways without you ever having a clue That I could almost say I loved you

A Stomach 04:44
lyrics
I wake up sick, I wake up tired I wake up unfueled and unrequired Fall asleep now, little construct You are worthy and full of luck Self-dependent on a fat chance Unrepentant, unable to dance Feet like anvils, tongue like loose caps Try to stand still, when you walk past The middle of the night is no time for a mind like mine I’m switching on the light for new rhymes that might pass by The common ear, oh but darling you’re uncommon but that isn’t what you wanna hear A drop of a tear, well I’m sorry I’m neurotic but you probably don’t even care Let me let me let me let me let me let me let me stay Let me let me let me let me let me let me let me say Whoah oh whoah oh whoah oh whoah oh Whoah oh whoah oh whoah oh whoah oh I’m sorry that’s all I could come up with I’m stupid you know I walk slightly off, I sit down slumped I sulk and scoff, and curse and stuff And blame my feelings on you and I But we both know the fault is mine The weird thing is, you’re unbeknownst And I don’t know how to announce What I must say to your cute face My words just tumble right out of grace The middle of the night is no time for a mind like mine I’m switching on the light for new rhymes that might pass by The listeners I want as I cover up my coughing like it isn’t sore or anything I want to see a lot of your teeth so bright and shining as you’re smiling at me Let me let me let me let me let me let me let me go Let me let me let me let me let me let me let me know Whoah oh whoah oh whoah oh whoah oh Whoah oh whoah oh whoah oh whoah oh If you want me but I’m guessing that you probably don’t I’ve got, I’ve got a pain in my stomach And I just, I just can’t get enough of it Let me let me let me let me let me let me let me free Let me let me let me let me let me let me let me see Whoah oh whoah oh whoah oh whoah oh Whoah oh whoah oh whoah oh whoah oh You smile one last time before I go

Rot With Me 04:50
lyrics
My car is the last place I have left to be alone And it’s gonna die someday My heart is the last thing anyone would wanna hold And it’s gonna die someday My mom and dad supported me But they’re gonna die someday And I am forced to be lonely And I will die someday To a eulogy given by a ghost At a funeral where no one’s gonna show Give my regards to anyone who’ll take them And walk away and drop my casket on the pavement Even in death I’ll be alone All I ever wanted was someone Beyond the grave to rot with me My teachers that inspired me Are gonna die someday As quickly as my memories Will float away some day My friends that have mistreated me Are gonna die someday And the ones that stuck around for me Will float away some day I’ll never be okay An acceptance speech given by a loser I was the best at being nothing at all I really wish when I was younger I never had a ground to break my fall I could’ve left here long ago Before I ever heard the word “alone” Maybe then I’d have someone to rot with me

I've Dreamt About You Once Or Twice 04:11
lyrics
I’ve dreamt about you once or twice I promise you that I will try To keep this cool, to keep this calm To keep this simple and concise I’ve dreamt about you once or twice And every time it’s oh so nice It’s oh so true, I pinch my palms But nothing ever feels that right I wish I could’ve made this so I’m never better off alone How can I say this differently? I just want you to be with me I’ve dreamt about you once or twice Awoken in the middle of the night With drops of sweat across my face I sit up and turn on the light I’ve dreamt about you once or twice You are so pretty, oh so bright I truly bet if you heard me say I loved you that you wouldn’t bite I wish I just changed up my ways I wish I never would’ve gazed How can I say this differently? I just want you to be with me I’ve dreamt about you once or twice Or maybe more if that’s all right I’ve dreamt about you once or twice Am I in your head like you’re in mine? I wish I was able to know That you would want me to be with you So I could feel much differently I just want you to be with me

A Place I've Known 07:46
lyrics
Oh to be eleven and stricken with vernacular force as they spewed out taboo terms like "move" and "divorce" and I waited for my tears to run their wet course and locked myself in my room with my German imports while the next day I still had to do all my chores and the pain was white hot like a full power torch and I wonder who felt the biggest remorse but I was still a kid and never heard that word before Oh to be such a pretty teen and lose my virginity and still come home questioning my stated masculinity no matter how they treated me I still just felt this weakening of staying emotionally stable and stating "I won't come for you, oh no not tonight, the feeling isn't mutual, the feeling isn't right" I'm leaving here soon and bringing my stained bed sheets with me, no matter how sick they make me But every single girl I brought into my bed would always look at all my posters over both our heads but I never want another girl to come in here again ‘cause I need this time alone to really focus on them before I have to execute an act so frighteningly intense, take them all off very slowly, store them, make sure they don’t bend, find a quiet place for ticket stubs that retrospect the conquest of every band I ever loved and months and months and months and months Of constant rearranging, pieces moved from wall to wall, I could never think of taking down just one let alone all, from the winters to the springs into the summers to the fall, I have built this shrine of music worship do you hear me call? Out from my bedroom so late at night and writing all these songs, some just way too self-indulgent and overbearingly long, my entire room’s a total mess, more so than just my conscientious realization dripping like the spittle from my tongue I was three and left my favorite place on Earth But back then I didn’t know what it was worth I’ve gotten used to calling this old house my home And though the posters will come down They will be saved and sent to out of town Cause this is a place I’ve known Oh to be eighteen and scared of everything from commitment to the natural act of disappearing, to just simply being surrounded by small creatures with their wings, as a stranger to my life tells me I don’t know how to sing, well please let me inform you about my artistic expression as the pressure in my neck builds to unquenchable tension, yes you’ve heard the spiel a million times about teenage depression, so excuse me for my accidental personal digression Oh to be such a last minute human on this planet, if the future turned like clockwork I’d not hesitate to plan it in advance and perhaps know bits and pieces of it and a preview of happiness to see if I can stand it and my eyes aways close, please don’t wake me I am sleeping, son it’s time to go, please don’t wake me I am sleeping, everything you’ve known, please don’t wake me I am sleeping, please don’t wake me I am sleeping, please don’t wake me I am sleeping I was three and left my favorite place on Earth But back then I didn’t know what it was worth I’ve gotten used to calling this old house my home And though the posters will come down They will be saved and sent to out of town Cause this is a place I’ve known And my grandmother’s old stereo Will never blast my tapes alone ‘Cause this is a place I’ve known I say goodbye to Willow Road And the screen door that just won’t close And deer that look like antelope And nature trails and studios Yes one by one they all must go Though they were a part of my growth And made this a place I've known
