Tell me I’m aligned, or least that I am over this
Cause honestly, our situation, I made a mistake and what’s left to prove
So tell me which that you’d rather lose
It’s a shame, relying on the way it was
And I don’t blame, you for thinking anything was wrong
It’s something that we already knew
Sitting on your bedroom floor, you spill your guts and you can’t ignore
What was written here from before
And if it’s all you’ve ever known, then why the hell did it take so long
And if the meaning you can’t find, I’ll make a list of what was
Right by your side through this decline
Or so you’re told
Here is my doubt, you just assumed that I was scared and you wanted out
Affixed by the highs
The ups and downs, the left and rights and you can’t rely
Anymore
And it’s breaking this code, making sense of these flaws
At this moment you stop
So here’s my gift for never giving in, I do not know you
Learning was never meant for me, but I misread

I wrote my errors down
Made my ill-intentions a little unhealthy
Built up just to tear me down
With no understanding, it's all about something
There's a lot I could tell but I need you to change somehow
I lie through my teeth so you never see my face
It's all just a gamble now
And if you'd remember, you'd see we're both guilty
Of letting the other down
And it gets harder every moment
Leads to lacking all emotion
You could die or leave me side
Either way, it all applies
So here's our decision
I see our division
If I make a mistake I'll just move on
The farther you run the less I'll be afraid
I fucking tried

Hardly Seems Ideal

Two addicts in the bedroom
Speed up my heart
No time for contradiction, always in a tailspin
You think you know me well
Well I've been lying since I met you
And from the start you let me in
I don't think that I deserve you and that's a matter of fact
And if you're smart you should be scared
It's not like I'm not scared too
Nobody understands it
Then probably it's a joke
Spend all your time complaining, all you do is hate me
All of this upstaging
We're living in a nightmare
Or police car
Or worse it's like I'm failing, never can stop puking
You think that you can tell, well I've been trying to tell the truth
And if you like, I'll cut my hair
Or wear a hat when I'm around you it actually makes it really compact
If it feels right I'll disappear
I'm already basically never there
Nobody understands it
Then probably it's a joke
Spend all your time complaining, all you do is hate me
All of this upstaging
I'm worried things are changing, always things are changing
Hardly Seems Ideal
Steadfast in your unreason, always under siege
Never seems to yield
So let the poison quell your pride
And let all the voices eat you alive
And in hindsight I misbehaved
I should know better now.

Tell me a secret, I want to confess
All of the reasons you never have left
If you remind, I'll focus this lens
Turn back the clock to make time for the rest
The last sixteen months have been average at best
It's frightening to think that we once thought it'd last
Take my problems
Despite the worries you may have, a perfect match will never last
Wasting a perfect mistake
It's a lie, it should never have been told
Caught me red-handed but the way we dance is getting old
It's a lot like a wedding at dawn
Intentions still are present but despite the fact that you were wrong
Worship the memory changed in your head
Where nothing could ever upset your progress
It's a lot like falling down
It's a long way till your found
I could never be the reason this stands
Two broken arms and a cast on my neck
And it never goes my way
Take my problems away
Despite the worries you may have, a perfect match will never last
Angled under my skin
You're the reason I can eat and you're reason I can't sleep

Fill Your Pockets

1995 Ford Explorer
Parked outside your yard since last winter
I'll be afraid, I've never left before
Who will I blame when everything goes wrong?
All in all, it's worth the call
I had dinner at Kyle's
Fill my pockets till they're full
13 69 to mishandle
Fill our tanks at night, where's the scandal
I've got some petty cash, I've got a bed at home
I'm an enthusiast, I like to play along
And when you try, I'll leave your side, I'll leave it all to waste
And when you cede, I'll watch you need, I'll haunt you till this breaks
I want to remember you, cause when this stops
I don't think I'll be alive

Violent Indifference
03:04
|

I sit alone on top this rudimentary overpass
Certainly defiant and annoyingly I'll have to ask
If I'm a coward then what wisdom do I have to stow
Violently Indifferent, can't imagine why you had to go
Spare my eyes cause they've been buried in your past
But honestly, you left them there
You work the nine to five while I make lists in your old room
Counting provisions and stockpiling words that I can use
Like the time you told me how you felt about my friends
But the joke's on you I hear what's said behind your back
Oh shit, they've actually been pretty nice
Dead
I wasn't left for it
Born like I lost a bet
But I really care a lot about you
Stuck on the wonder years
Dredging up all my fears
But I really care a lot about you
When it's over will you know all that I felt
Through the words from when you asked
Why the hell has this passed?

I wouldn't start rumors
About who the fuck you were
A purpose to the crime
And an obvious one that you see all the time
But it's not like I ever
Cared to make it a better
Focused on myself
If I had just looked around when you needed my help
I see it all the time
Maybe in a couple of weeks it will be different
Hope, it's a lot like when you're lost, it's a lot like
When you try to rely on the ones you despise
Or you find or need to care
It's a lot like a burning car crash
All my friends have died
The sky looks weird tonight
Set an alarm
Dig your own grave
Check your account
Eat a croissant
Watch as it all starts to wither away
Focus your time
On something you hate
Marry the first who tolerates you
Cause if you don't it might not happen again
This is the way that I deal with our world's bullshit
Sell me some fun and I'll watch you oblige
Arms at your side, it's amazing how complacent
One can become when these things go awry
I see it all the time
Carry the shrine
It's a lot like getting older
And I'm buried alive
Carry this chip on your shoulder
And it's not like I'm brave, never was one to relate
Every night it grows
It's a lot like love
It's a lot like fear

I Love This Sweater
02:44

Do you wish for summer
Or is this your kind of place
Cause with this god damn weather
I never know if it is safe
To leave my house unguarded
I was never one to make a bet
And just as you discard it
You probably should have listened to me cause I told you like three times it was going to be bad out today
And if we band together
We'll probably never face the facts
Some things don't last forever
Despite the way that we distract
Ourselves from understanding
It's no way for us to live
I hope it's demanding
Cause all we are, a lesser known
I love this sweater
But I hate the rain
Assume it all gets better
When you're unwilling to change
You picked a place at random
I'll take a piece of what is left
And what was once in tandem
Leaves in open-armed regret
That's actually a really nice sweater you have there
Is that made out of wool or is that synthetic?

Dead of the Winter
03:10
|
|||
|
I've been trying to decide
Over the last five years
I've eaten more shit than I care to digest
And I confess
It's not the easiest way I could live
When your a mess
It takes a lot to make another agree
Testate, hold serve, it's progress
You say, no words, it's obvious
I can tell you it's not fair
When you're a calling card
Amongst a stack of better suited jesters
I could love myself all day
But I'd rather swallow bitter pills
That you've thrown together
It's a long road
In the dead of the winter
We all grow old
We all grow cold
Navigate this space with time
Graduate and humanize
Ankles bend like they're a tease
Under the glow of the streelights
Your voice is wavering
Dead like the winter

Car to the bridge and you jumped in the lake

Nevermore

I'm not lonely
I'm just sad I didn't help you
Cause it's not like it
Could make us feel what you were going through
Honestly it now feels like I'm living in a sad shithole of an existence
And that's okay
I can't pretend like it'll all be the same
Cause it's terribly stressful when I get sentimental
Ian's now thirteen and he'll never get to see you be
A beautiful vessel who's undoubtedly special
I put the cordless in the backyard
In case you'd call to be a friend
It's unfortunate that you never needed me
And even if you'd act sometimes
Like I cared more when you gave a shit
I'd trade it all, give everything, to see you one more time again
I can't pretend like it will all be same
Cause you play the game and make the call
Or drink until you have forgot
That everything and everybody will die
It's what keeps me alive
I can't pretend like it'll all be the same
Cause it's terribly stressful when I get sentimental
