oh babe you're a selfish world
stuck inside a twisted core
oh love
i need you to calm
before you ruin it all
separate brain from body before it starts to bruise (x 2)
set it down set it down before you crack in two
there's no need to give that dumb old mouth any use
let it down let it down it's time to stop this ruse
is there any point in loving you
separate brain from body it's forgetting how to breathe (x 2)

odd one out

the world looks still
and not in a way that's kind
i must be losing my mind
it's normal to lose high school friends
but i keep losing them
while they love each other
i stand on the sidelines
odd one out, odd one out
they loved me but they judged me
i don't love me but i judge me
i can't do a normal thing without my brain breaking
squeeze my head shut my eyes till i start getting older
each year another number
but i just keep feeling younger
can't act my age and i'm not getting any better
they loved me but they judged me
i don't love me but i judge me
and i'm not good, i'm not kind, i must be losing my mind

gone

i’m never very good with endings
i relive the moments on my bedroom floor
so that i can feel like they never left my side
i don’t think i miss who i was when i loved them
i don’t miss the shadows in my brain when i sat at the table
yes i don’t think i miss it,
but it’s scary that it’s gone
some of the people i have lost don’t even know that they’re gone
if i saw them on the sidewalk we’d smile and say hello
but it will never be the same as sitting in their houses on couches they no longer own
and then there’s the girl i despise and she’s not fond of me either
if i saw her on the street i'd look away
(but how is she gone)
no i don’t think i miss any of it
the stained green sweatshirts and walking down the halls
the way we would laugh together while my head was on the ceiling
i know i'm better without it
but it’s scary that it’s gone
how do I let go of the clicking of hands and the memories
i don’t want in my head
how do i stop it all how do i forget

take me

i want to know how to let my world fall apart
without dreaming of how to die
tell me how
i give in now
tell me how people give it all up
let the universe control their every move
without giving in to the doom
tell me how tell me how
i give up now i give up now
i give in now i give in now
break me down
it's over now
you can take me now

stupid & wrong
04:09
|

|
keep the words you’re yelling at me
the sound in the air doesn’t compare to the apologies
i can’t tell what you mean
just say the truth: you hate me
i hate myself for being afraid of all the right things that you say
i hate myself for being afraid that i turned everything this way
when your voice goes soft and you say that you were wrong
i know that it’s not true
so i fold what’s real up in my head and try to fix all that i do
i hate myself for being afraid of all the right things that you say
i hate myself for being afraid that i turned everything this way
i was wrong you were right (x 2)
stupid ideas and selfishness it’s what i give
and i’m sorry for ruining things
i was wrong you were right and i don’t want to fight
so i’ll run outside to the dark sky next time
i hate myself when I’m afraid because it’s me who makes things this way

standing in place while the frames around me change
i don't know why i do the things i do
this isn't working for me so i'm glad it does for you
put my name on something to remember i was here
a piece of paper, plastic, anything before i disappear
pretending that i'm living my dreams
but there's cracks in all the seams
slice through trying to survive
how are all the other faces alive
put my name on something to remember i was here
a piece of paper, plastic, anything before i disappear
give me corners sharp edges
i'll try to hold them in my hands
i don't know who the hell i am
put paper to my name
shift all the frames
when will any of this change
