The way that i couldn’t get away without you,
don’t think about it too much
The way that i think about what’s left without you,
i couldn’t use it as a crutch any longer
the songs i wrote that could correspond
don’t play them anymore
the words unsaid that could have been known
don’t say them anymore

Better off

maybe i'm better off crying by myself
and baby you're better off with someone else
maybe i'm better off dying by myself
and baby you're better off if i can't make you happy
maybe i'm better off dying by myself
and baby you're better off in the arms of someone else
'cus baby i haven't felt in a couple days
and baby i'm so scared that if i lose you i won't feel another day
maybe i'm better off dying in my bed
and maybe you're better off with someone else
and maybe i'm better off losing all my friends
and maybe you're better off if i can't make you happy

Every dog on earth

there’s one trick that everyone should know,
so anyone could teach it to every dog on earth
there’s one dog that could never shut it's mouth,
and every wolf out past the yard came up to hear it howl
i tell you that you could never know
what anyone is going through with your lack of self control
there’s one thing, it feels we’re made of stone
these desolate self hatreds couldn’t amount to what i’m told
and i couldn’t sleep, i’ve been so lonesome I can’t speak without you
got so faded, can’t think straight, I close my eyes and I see hell
awaits what’s going through these days are coming
couldn’t count all my sins together makes up time from heaven
and I couldn’t sleep, I’ve been so lonesome I can’t speak without you
lost my blinds i can’t think straight, I close my eyes and I see hell
There’s one trick that everyone should know,
so anyone could teach it to every dog on earth

Happier than this

but i wouldn’t take another second
These days been feeling selfish in this atmosphere
Who do you get your cabin fever from
how could you take it back? you think I’m fucking dumb?
and i couldn’t take another second
these days been floating all throughout the galaxy
where could I take you?
Want you happier than this
I don’t believe in what you want from me
I couldn’t see what you could want from me
where could I take you?
Want you happier than this
our hearts had disconnected
how it got to this
I don’t believe in what you want from me
I couldn’t see what you could want from me

Release

it's been a week since i broke my beliefs
and i call in the audible just for release
'cus i need that sweet serotonin
my fingers are frozen but i carry on
it's just like get up, get out
sinner, sit down
three missed calls
i tried i tried i tried
i never could read minds but there's
something about you
there's something to hide
it's just like get up, get out
sinner, sit down
three missed calls
i tried i tried i tried
the bottle's looking so damn nice
but there's something about it,
i'd never survive and I
and time slows,
my mind goes wild
the curtain closes and credits roll
as i'm flying to touch the sun
it's marvelous my one of one
i still hear your scream
i close my eyes and you're right next to me
calling out for someone
burn my retinas so slowly so,
what can i offer?
and how can i repent?
how can i come so far to be right back home
just to straight face deny what i did?
it's been a week since i broke my beliefs
and i call in the audible just for release
'cus i need that sweet serotonin
my fingers are frozen but i carry on
it's just like get up, get out
sinner, sit down

i tried i tried i tried
i never could read minds but there's
something about you
there's something to hide
it's just like get up, get out
sinner, sit down
three missed calls
i tried i tried i tried
the bottle's looking so damn nice
but there's something about it,
i'd never survive
and I don't wanna wait for this,
i've been fucked up and getting more than i give
would all my promises mean nothing if i could just forget you instead?
i'm never better than i thought,
not your perfect man or your son of god
all my accomplishments mean nothing if you can't see just how hard i fought

Well done superstar
02:24
|

|
and i know there’s nothing I can say,
we've already disappeared
and i know that if i could go back
this time last year I would
but I can’t be a friend,
there’s nothing I can say
don’t wanna fuel disappointment
so i spend my time away
but what is there to gain?
I couldn’t seem to mask the pain
“well done superstar”
but now it all sounds so insane
what’s with this failure and failed behavior?
I wanna hear you tell me
I wanna hear you tell me
and I know there’s no one I can blame,
my skeleton resists these awful fingers sinking through my skin
they’re wriggling and tugging at my insides,
wanna put them on display for everyone
but now they’re gone
but what is there to gain?
I couldn’t seem to mask this pain
“well done superstar”
but now it all sounds so insane
what’s with this failure and failed behavior?
I wanna hear you tell me
What I’ve been telling you these days,
I guess it doesn’t really matter
can you recall a single thing?
Oh surely not, it doesn’t matter
what’s with this failure and failed behavior?
I wanna hear you tell me
I wanna hear you tell me

I wasn’t feeling myself,
how did you think that I would feel?
I couldn’t stand here anymore
I was lying to myself,
this lapse in me I feel no more,
is what I am and nothing more
and I been dreamin’ I been walkin’ down a grey hill
no hesitating, I’m just running to the bottom,
And where I stand is a knife in my back
i threw my meds out,
i kept my head down,
i wanted to feel better,
nothing better had me feeling alone
and it had stopped me from feeling grown.
tell me how
we'll ever get out of town
we'll never come back around
'cus nobody knows we're gone

Miss you more

november came and went i fought
but heaven gained a son of god
and i just wish i'd made that call
and didn't come up short
'cus i don't wanna be the one
to walk away amidst the storm
but i don't wanna miss you more
'cus i been down and
i been stupid
and i been makin' too many excuses
lay down your head
and fall asleep
and feel your fingers graze my cheek
but then i wake up and you're gone
leaving me to dream alone
i don't get why i can't fly
feelin' safe in your eyes
november came and went i fought
but heaven gained a son of god
and i just wish i'd made that call
and didn't come up short
'cus i don't wanna be the one
to walk away amidst the storm
but i don't wanna miss you more
'cus i can't pretend that i'm not in love
with having these feelings and writing these songs
and having the power to right my wrongs
and fucking it up to relieve my lungs
it's not the thought that counts
it's the way you speak when i'm not around and it's
not your fault i'm lost but i'm so damn sure i can't make it up
november came and went i fought
but heaven gained a son of god
and i just wish i'd made that call
and didn't come up short
'cus i don't wanna be the one
to walk away amidst the storm
but i don't wanna miss you more

Shifting blame
02:31
|

|
what's your problem? Where did it start?
I cannot help myself and nothing feels okay
February wasn’t feeling better couldn’t make it to September
now I’m here and everybody’s moving on
how could you have been so bold
to believe what I had told you
that’s not my weight to bear anymore
who am i to place the blame?
cus I know you wouldn’t do the same
but I know you don’t think about it anymore
and I’m not gonna get better if I can’t hear myself think,
I’m never living for myself, I just exist to fucking please
don’t got no time to process feelings and so it’s autopilot dealings
what’s going on?
how should I stop it?
instead I’m going through the withdrawal and, fuck.
how could you have been so bold
to believe what I had told you
that’s not my weight to bear anymore
who am i to place the blame?
cus I know you wouldn’t do the same
but I know you don’t think about it anymore
