Love Struck Therapy

You know your fucking smile is therapy to me,
Every time you look at me, it’s what I fucking need,
The reason I get out of bed and wanna fucking breathe,
Is cos you know your smile is therapy to me.
I’m a love struck piece of shit who doesn’t know a thing,
I wish we could get married but I can’t afford the ring,
I’ll play you all your favorites just so I can hear you sing,
You’ll go “la da da da da”, it’s my favorite fucking thing,
And I know you don’t,
Wanna go about this alone,
So I’ll stick around as long as I need to,
And if I fuck up, then I’ll make it up to you,
It’s an ancient world full of bullshit scriptures,
And to tell our story I would paint the pictures,
La da da, la da da.

Hands

You don’t want me to call you my girlfriend in public,
But that’s okay because I know you still care,
And if I can not hold your hand in public,
I know it’s cos you hate it when the people stare,
And if I had to say goodbye,
Then I know I’d rather die,
I can’t stand the thought of leaving this behind,
I’m crazy about your features,
You are such a magnificent creature,
Basically I’m in love with who you are and what you represent and stuff
What is going on with me?
I’m feeling strange and I can’t breathe,
I guess my anxiety’s kicking in
My soul is intertwined with yours,
My heart’s wide open like the doors,
Come inside and make yourself at home,
When the song ends,
We haven’t made any friends,
We’ve just confused some people,
And when the night ends,
We haven’t made any friends,
We’ve just confused some people.

Strings

my guitar's dead,
I broke it's string,
I wish to get it some new strings.
Jesus is dead,
I broke his wings,
he's succumbed to the culture of the human beings,
and I know that it's not too easy to comprehend,
that everything you love has fallen in the end,
and I wanna stay strong and carry on
but everything has gone so wrong.
But i promised him and I promised me,
that you'll never catch me in the inbetween
again.
if this is how i die,
I promise I'll be fine,
it brought me back last time,
but now I've crossed the line,
I hope you won't forget me,
I've tried my best to let be,
I miss those texts you sent me...

Fall Is Gone

Fall disappeared the second that it arrived,
My favorite season gone.
Winter has come and now I’m starting to cry,
I wish winter was gone,
I don’t mean to be all self destructive and mean,
But I don’t like spring, it brings all the allergies,
At least it’s making things green,
Melted snow washed the ground clean,
But now the earth is so bleak.
“The sky is falling”, said the chicken to me,
He said he wanted me to stop mentioning the sky when I sing,
Cus it’s not something I made,
It’s just something that exists,
And that goes with everything,
It’s all just stuff that exists,
I told the chicken to die,
He told me he always tries,
The chicken crosses the road,
But always ends up on the other side,
For his dependance in me,
or my lack of empathy,
All my companions agree,
That I need help because I’m talking to a chicken…
And when the night’s over,
I know that it’s over.
And when you come over,
We’ll sleep inside your Range Rover.

Anxious Wreck
05:31

I called up my parents,
And asked then how they’re doing,
They’re doing just fine, I hope,
I never really called them up,
I doubt they’d wanna hear from me,
An awful wreck, a tragedy,
I dropped out of high school,
Now they’re disappointed in me,
I wish I had known,
What goes on in their head,
And if I had known,
Then I’d still be in school,
I had to drop out,
I couldn’t handle the pressure,
I get anxious around people,
I couldn’t pay attention,
It’s not like I would,
If I was able to,
I just don’t like school,
Had no one to sit at the lunch table with,
I wish I had known,
What goes on in their head,
and if they had known,
Then I’d still be in-,
I had to take off my noise cancelling headphones to record this song.
It’s way too hard to record my voice with noise cancelling headphones on,
I can not hear my voice,
So I don’t know if I’m singing bad.
I hope you hear this song one day,
And understand what I have to say
I don’t wanna make you sad,
I just wanna say what’s on my mind,
Are we old enough to decide if we actually love each other?
Are we too young to comprehend the feeling that we feel for each other?
Or am I just thinking too much about what we really are?
These feelings I feel for you are genuine, I promise you that they are.
Are we too old? or too young? I don't fucking know.

Wordless Broken

There’s nothing left for me in this world that I don’t know,
This room is all I have, I don’t even trust my home,
These feelings are so one dimensional it seems,
The only place that I feel free is in my dreams,
I’ll die at 20, I don’t wanna live too long,
These strings are all I had, and you know that they’re long gone,
I’ll buy myself some string, but it’s not for my guitar,
I’ll hang up on the tree with my all so broken heart,
I know that you wanna see me flourish in my
Breathing body, but I’ve become malnourished and I
Swore to god and I swore to you that these thoughts I have would not come true,
But I lied to god and I lied to you because this life that I have lived is through.

Behind

I can't drive, but if I could then I'd be gone.
I can't stand the thought of fighting all night long.
and if I had to pick a side then you know I'd rather die.
I can't stand the thought of leaving this behind.
I wish I could go back to the 7th grade.
The year before I realized it was much too late.
And if it had to go unsaid,
like I said I'd still be dead.
I can't stand the thought of leaving this instead.
So why can't you just save my life?
cus I can't seem to cry..
Tears refuse to pour no matter how hard I try.

Spider Heart

There’s a spider in my heart,
I don’t want you to meet him,
I’m scared he’ll run away from me,
I’m scared he’ll wanna be set free,
I don’t want you to be afraid of me,
Just like I’m afraid of the sea,
I want you to come close to me,
My eyes are failing, I can’t see.
But nobody wants it,
But everyone needs to love themselves sometimes,
And nobody wants to,
But everyone needs to take a break at life,
Just don’t overdo yourself,
You’re gonna wanna be in hell,
To get away from what you’ve done,
You’ll wanna burn under the sun.
And life’s as good as it’ll get,
I’m drowning in the fishing net,
My spider’s back inside his web,
My cat is right beside my bed,
But nobody wants it,
But everyone needs to love themselves sometimes,
And nobody wants to,
But everyone needs to take a break at life,
Just don’t overdo yourself,
You’re gonna wanna be in hell,
To get away from what you’ve done,
You’ll wanna burn under the sun.
