Best Friends

Iāll keep writing these songs
Youāll keep writing me off
We havenāt felt like best friends in so long
I guess thatās alright
They say every wound is healed with time
I swear I still see your ghost
Out of the corner of my eyes
The clouds cover up the moonlight
Itās getting darker every night
All we have is how we feel
Warm to the touch
But I donāt feel real
I see the devil every night
I see my face when I close my eyes
And Iām tearing away what makes me, me
Things will always be the same
And itās the same thing everyday
Iām getting used to the chills and the aches
But Iām not sure if Iāll ever get used to the rain
Again
Iāve lost so much sleep over nothing
The lack of light always seems to bring me down
But thatās that
Iāve made my bed
Now Iāll sleep in the ground

The streetlights turn on at the same time every night
And it feels like itās been getting darker lately
I wake up at the same time every night
Hoping you wonāt hate me
I know Iāve got to change me
But I donāt want to change me
No, Iām not sure that this is where I want to be
You left me hanging with a rope around my neck
Some friend you are
You never had my back
You let me down
And I got lost along the way
No, Iām not sure that this is who I want to be
Clawing at the ground
Begging to take me back
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Please return everyone I love
Peel off my skin
Let me start again
Please let me start again
Your headās above the clouds
Put both feet on the ground
Do you feel it now?

Nobody gives a shit
Unless you think like them
So lay it all out
Dissect it until nothingās left
Except
The past
And everything that got us here
Close your eyes
Drown it out
Cause you donāt want to hear
The constant ringing in your ears
The image takes shape
Are you afraid to see
Crows and picked over bones
And everything that you canāt stand
About me
And you just hate to hate
Unless youāre staring through a screen
No, I know that I canāt be
Everything you want from me
Just drop the virtue signaling
And let me be
Are you better than me
Because you said the right thing at the right time?
Am I the worst of everything?
Because I slipped up and said something I didnāt mean?
Are you better than me?
Because you say the right things at the right time?
Am I the worst of everything?
Let me rot from the inside
Until nothingās left except
I will let you down
Just like everyone else
Find some footing on stable ground
Everyoneās got a disease
Iām addicted to your veins
lyrical cliches
And

What a Shame
04:18
|
|||
|
I watched the shadows dance around the room
And outside of the door
Everything I used to feel
I feel it like before
You never cared because you just donāt relate
Iām stuck in my own head
A cliched broken, fragile state
You just donāt
Donāt relate
You said āThings changeā and āNothing stays the sameā
Oh, what a shame
You blame everyone but you
I think itās better if I sit here in the dark
Blinded by the light
And all alone in the heart
Everything I used to see
I see it clearer than before
You took away my soul
And begged for more
You were meant to dream
Not take mine away from me
Are you even losing sleep?
Losing me

Blood Smell
03:31
|

|
Iāve stayed so low
For so long now
Between the dark around my eyes
And planned out space in the ground
Iāve found out how to push everyone away
But donāt worry
Just crucify me
Weāre staring out of broken windows
I canāt have you go
You held my hand all night
Wiped all the tears off of my eyes
Iām not getting better
And Iām just not who I used to be
Oh, judging by the lack of love
And bitter irony
Now Iāll let it all go
But the car wreck shows
Bleeding hearts
And the poetās cracked skulls
Now Iām not letting go
But the car wreck shows
Bleeding hearts
And the poets cracked skulls
You stayed up all night
The sunrise traced your outline
Your silhouette bathed in my skin
And your warmth in my mind
Iām sorry I havenāt been in control for a long time
My words will be sepulchered
In a lake of fire
And Iāll watch it all fall apart
Like so many times before
Each piece cuts too deep
My words will be sepulchered
In a lake of fire

Sycamore
04:08
|

I sold my soul, so I could talk to ghosts
And you donāt have to be alone
You slid back in the seat
Rolled the window down
And you fell asleep
In the absence of sound
And I still dream about the headlights
And the closed garage door
Itās why I donāt sleep right anymore
I donāt sleep right anymore
I donāt sleep anymore
I sold my soul, so I could talk to ghosts
And you donāt have to be alone
Heavy weighed the rope
That dragged me down
No saving grace
How sweet the sound
Every day I saved your seat
And the soul you used to know was me
Too torn up to even speak
From a mix of guilt and apathy
Paper thin, fragile beings arenāt we?
Liquor by the windowsill
I see right through but I donāt feel
I donāt feel right anymore
I donāt sleep anymore
I thought you knew I always wanted to stay
But itās so cold all alone
I always wanted to be
All that you wanted from me
I thought you knew
I always wanted to stay
But itās so cold all alone
I always wanted to be buried under the sycamore tree
Down the street
You stayed home from school that day
That was the last time I saw your face
You stayed home from school that day
No one could ever take your place
It was the first time I had hurt that much
And the last time you rode the bus

They're Watching
03:46
|
|||
|
Theyāre watching me
My muscles tighten
My head is weak
Oh, the irony
Everything it takes to keep me from noticing
That youāre just around the corner
Itās not all in my head
I wonāt make it easy on you
I know it would be easier if I was
Do you regret me?
Am I unraveling?
Iām sick of all my feelings
Turned into songs
To sell more copies
To taste a dose of what I really want
I still canāt live on fifteen
When you were here
We figured it out
But it doesnāt feel like home now
When you moved out
And into the ground
It only hurts the first time
Then you dislocate the empathy
Re-break the spine
Force down pills
Donāt mind the cognitive dissonance
Itās a side effect
The panic and cold sweats
Only last as long as you regret it
Do you regret it?
Just let me sleep
Itās haunting me
Iām sorry, everythingās fine
Everythingās alright

Hypnosis
03:07
|
|||
|
I'm counting down the days until Iļø get to see your face again
If heaven exists
Please put me to sleep with your hypnosis
Because everyday that Iļøm awake
Iļø feel the clouds above my head
Iļøm welcoming death
What do you make of all this?
Am Iļø still haunted?
And what do you know that Iļø donāt?
Why donāt Iļø feel whole?
Wipe the dirt from my fingertips
And the sweat from my brow
Iļø can feel the cold creeping in
As they lower my body down
Wrapped in sheets
Separated flesh from bone
Father Iļøām coming home
I did my best to change myself
Erase myself for someone else
But I don't know who I am anymore

Mother's Day
04:07
|
|||
|
I canāt shake the feeling
My life is hanging by a thread
One wrong move
And Iāll lose everything Iāve ever had
I never make the best of anything
Searching for a way out, constantly
You always see the best in everything
And Find a way with honesty
And honestly
I can never express what you mean to me
I quit the smokes
A year after āGravestonesā
I donāt feel better
Just more alone
I know I donāt say it enough
But, I love you
And everything youāve done for us
I need the rain
The real rain
The clouds that cover me
Like passing showers
Our time is fleeting
I donāt want to be okay
Iām addicted to the misery
The victim, always
Never leave
I just canāt take it
My selfish selflessness masks the glaring imperfections
The imperfections
Nostalgia always gets the best of me
Everything we used to be
Maybe weāre fucked up now
Maybe itās just me
Iām tired of lying
Nothingās the same since dad died
Youāre holding it together
Oh, how I know you try

End.
03:53
|

|
All wrapped up in the bed sheets
A nightly body bag
Youāll wander until the early āmorn
But you donāt have to say a word
I can feel it in the walls
The kind of cold that burns
Stay up all night
And meet me between the black grass
And where the water falls
We can count the cracks in the walls
But Iām falling back into you
You need to leave
You know you do
You were right about the end all along
Speak to me softly under your breath
You come back to life when the sun sets
I used to know you
Oh so well
I even used to know myself
So pass through
Just tell me the truth
Donāt tell me the truth
Meet me between the black grass
And where the water falls
We can count the cracks in my soul
But Iām falling back into you
You need to leave
You know it, too
We were right about the end all along
