The sun burns again I still feel the same Do you recall their names? Is there any backbone In either of our graves? Oh well, I should have known The steps I took home They’d only lead me astray Well I know exactly what’s at stake But it’s a habit I know I won’t break You were on some bullshit That you probably don’t regret You can miss me with all of it Losing memory of our house And I feel much better now But I’ll never know How you’re doing back at home Well I guess I’ll have to, I’ll bite my tongue
3.
Re-Pizza 02:33
Seven vices Keeping my head clear Sleepless, the clock’s still ticking I know that I’ll be leaving It’s paradise, Mount Sunlight There’s nothing that is Keeping me away Thought I wouldn’t be lonely I was on my own Sleeping in the basement Of a stranger’s home I just want the old days They want nothing from me But to incite my insecurities Silence, I can’t bear it Darkness, drown in Sleepless, the clock’s still ticking I know that I’ll be leaving It’s paradise, Mount Sunlight There’s nothing that is Keeping me away Thought I wouldn’t be lonely I was on my own Sleeping in the basement Of a stranger’s home I just want the old days They want nothing from me But to incite my insecurities We’d combine our lost time Hope all’s well Or not, it’s fine Guess I got tired of digging through Pieces of mind I’m packing all my shit & leaving
4.
Ask me how I’ve been feeling Better, but I still feel it Can’t move, gotta stay in bed Lay around, burn one down And load my head, and I’ve Been staring at your bedroom ceiling Not sure if I’m even healing My legs don’t work, my hands don’t work But at least I don’t have to go to work Thank god Colors bleed slowly All is gray in no time Don’t know what I’ll do today I guess I’ll write some words While I watch Thunderbirds, and I Don’t care what I’ve been missing As long as I have my medicine My legs don’t work, my hands don’t work But at least I don’t have to go to work Aw yeah Colors all bleed slowly All is gray in no time
5.
Wooden Gun 02:00
Oh, here’s more again You write to me and ask me when We both know all the lines are dead So close your eyes and save your breath I’ll keep marking my path But keep back-tracking Got nowhere fast These days, they’re growing darker I know I should have never bothered Should I go any further? I don’t want any love to go to waste I need more again The border’s closed and well-patrolled I’ll never emigrate, escape I was too late They’re pointing guns, I know they’re fake Should I go any further? I don’t want any love to go to waste
6.
You’re not sleeping enough Now you won’t even try The beaten path in your room That you pace every night Never-ending gloom Never-ending Are you happy with your life? Do you regret wasting time? Yeah, so do I They’re all so proud of you I know that you’ll survive You always do You’ll be somewhere soon, Safer than you knew From never-ending gloom Never-ending I watched you destroy & build anew every day So many times you’re losing track Of who you wanted to be But, does having so many faces make you great? That path you pace will recognize you All the same, either way
7.
Ascending to the ceiling How did I get there? I don’t know, I let go Mementos of my failures, shortcomings Come slipping from my pockets Come falling The pieces all shattered and sharpened, Lying on the carpet Weightless complicated to explain where I’ve gone My heart’s no longer heavy I’m just floating along Broke out of my apartment So I’ll fly on down to Target, buy some new memories Now my heart’s not so heavy Don’t force yourself to hold onto the things That always held you down Don’t be afraid to leave the ground Come fly with me, everything will soon be fine When we’re soaring through the sky Cause when you’re way up here, it’s crystal clear
8.
Deep breathing, Steady with your heart beating Warm lips, long last Keeping my hands to myself I was sinking deeper than I could tell But thanks to you, I’m doing well Happy to be myself Blurred vision A lengthy night of therapy Quick glancing at me I was sinking deeper than I could tell But thanks to you, I’m doing well Happy to be myself Out here in these woods, I know I won’t get too far My body will catch up And bring me back to where you are Discretion is the key tonight But I don’t wanna fight I’ve down a dozen vodka Sprites But now it’s 6 in the morning, I’m reading your poetry I must be lucky I know that you want me, too I’m crystal, see through You want me too, don’t you?
9.
Watery Grave 02:51
Red tide comes rising Swept ashore, you’ll find me Rotting in my sad beached body Lay in the sand The smell will drive you home It shouldn’t be this hard to run away (Wish I could hide from my own face) Trying to be what I should be (No reason trying to escape) Don’t throw the body overboard I won’t go sailing anymore Don’t throw the body Watery grave Waiting for the tide to take me in Melting away I’ll never end up on this beach again, no
10.
Cut to the bone, I’ve been left in the cold It’s been so long Since I’ve been Where I belong See me falling See me crawling Sound the alarm Your town is long gone The One-Man Destroyer Black out the thoughts Shadows lurk in the park Laugh in the dark Search for blood, Swim with the sharks Sound the alarm Your town is long gone The One-Man Destroyer

You’re not sitting next to me I don’t think I planned for this at all I’m running to the kitchen Does anybody need a drink? I’ll be right back Stop my frustration Still contemplating Why did I even come? Your friends aren’t even any fun Well I’d rather be Fishing for attention From any girl who’s Never noticed me, than be Spending my whole night here Drinking til I see clear While you tell your friends you’re bored of me Fuck that You’re not sitting next to me I don’t think I planned for this at all I’m running out of ideas Has anybody heard from her? She won’t text back Guess I’m unwanted, But it’s what I wanted Leave me alone at home And I won’t blow up your phone Well I’d rather be Fishing for attention From any girl who’s Never noticed me, than be Spending my whole night here Drinking til I see clear While you tell your friends you’re bored of me Fuck that Well I’d rather be Fishing for attention From any girl who’s Never noticed me, than be Spending my whole life here Drinking til I see clear That you’re just fucking bored of me Fuck that I’m more than that
