Cough Drops

Punch myself square in the face to keep me rounded. I just feel so stupid. I could beat myself up over things I did back when.
Let's go back to when you said you liked my shoes and I had nothing to lose.
All the pity, all the shame. I know I never felt this way. I will not rest until you're found. I'll keep my ear close to the ground.
I'm not getting any younger; I have much to learn. I figured you could read your favorite stories over a cup of coffee. I want to be the one who holds your hand when you don't think that you can go alone. You seem so alone.
Love yourself as much as I do. Keep your head held high, I want to see your face in fluorescent lights like when I pass you in the hall.

The middle's not half bad
when you're around it
cause you're surrounded by all of
the things you shouldn't miss
and they remind you what's right behind you.
A headshake, a loss of words.
You find it hard to get away.
A headshake, a loss of words.
You find it hard, why can't you stay?
You find it hard, why can't you stay?
You find it hard why can't you...
You're on the ground again
and there's a warning
you find quite boring
and embarrassing to say
to all your friends
will they understand?
yeah will they understand?
A headshake, a loss of words
You find it hard to gain control
A headshake, a loss of words
You find it hard to gain control
A headshake, a loss of words
You find it hard to gain control
A headshake, a loss of words
I really loved you why can't you stay?
I really loved you why can't you stay?
I really loved you why can't you stay with all the people you love?
Climbing into spaces you trust
I bite my tongue, I bite my tongue, I bite my...

It's about that time. My eyes fixated on the exit sign. Don't budge until I see some blurry lines. Finally sneak outside to get in my car and hide.
I don't want to let go.
I've been in my head, haven't slept well in weeks. Call me crazy; call me maybe. Keep it all inside.
I don't want to let go of the shit I love most. Don't want to end up like a fucking zombie on Groundhog Day.
It's all the same, we all want luxury and fame. We could all get rich on bitcoin or make ourselves a name. No one told me life would be this way, doing the right thing, but never getting paid.

Four Cups In
03:23
|
|
||
I am so tired, I could get coffee, you know that I'll start shaking.
Anxious feelings, prescriptive healings, what a mess you're making here.
Yeah in my home, take off your shoes, you start to glow.
Here, yeah in my room, is where I go to places no one ever knows.
Yeah no one knows...
Slap yourself to stay awake, it's how things go nowadays.
Want me to elate? Fuck, fine I feel great.
You should try this shit, it's all the craze.
And when you wake up you'll feel young.
Yearning to speak.
Dispelling harm.
And no foggy brain.
We won't see the sun now.
It's always dark and cold, and dark and cold.
Dark and cold and you're never around.
Open your eyes now.
You can't keep digging your own grave.
Drag everyone in and then expect them to do the same.

Nervous Smile
03:18
|
|
||
I was amazed. I saw your face projected on the wall beautifully displayed. She had your eyes and nervous smile. It consumed me.
That's when I knew...
I sit on the floor of my kitchen poking at pineapple with a plastic fork.
That's when I knew that you were around for a reason. I never felt this way before.
Not to fear, we'll never be like them. The world goes by and I imagine we'll talk all night until I fall asleep. And when I wake up you're still next to me.

Red light, green light all around
You can't get out of this two-star town
You pray that God won't leave you now
Yeah pray that he won't leave you out to dry
On the corner of 4th and Hyde
Feels like a good day to die
But I really love your smile
And I really love those eyes
Yeah mine are fixed on yours
Three drinks in on our old front porch
Smoke a little weed to pass the time
Yeah smoke a little weed and things will feel alright.
I won't get surprised when you walk
I won't get surprised when you walk
I won't get surprised when you walk, out.
Out of here is where we'll go
Yeah to the beach a sunny shore
Close your eyes, you feel just fine
A dropped watch, we're all passing time
Cause time is fleeting don't you know?
No matter where we call our home
And what if we don't see it through?
And what if the one is not you?
How do you know that you're alive if you don't know that you can die?
And you say you will call it life
But I say I won't call it mine.
I won't get surprised when you walk
I won't get surprised when you walk
I won't get surprised when you walk, out.
We all live and we all learn
And you got all that you deserved
And I'm still here waiting on mine
Well, I'm content just passing time.

Streetlights
02:35
|
|
||
Walk out of your house late at night, chomping at the bit just to be home.
Everybody's moving so slowly, at a pace they're comfortable. Streetlights bury me in the darkness they don't cover.
I've made the same mistakes too many times before.
Streetlights bury me and suffocate.
Looking for solitude I found some peace in my parked car. I'll play it over in my head. Everybody's moving so slowly.

Next Year
03:26
|
|
||
Wake up and try to breathe
Today is easier than it may seem
Stand up, and start to bleed
I guess this is what we call routine
And if I'm going crazy
Then it's already next year
And I'm still in the same place
20 years, 20 beers over the few nights or so
And don't forget the smoke
It fills your lungs and you could never let it go
And if I'm going crazy
Then it's already next year
And I'm still in the same place
And if I stop and look back, will I turn into stone?
Or, am I already too far gone?
For my own good, for our own good
Holy shit, what I would give to be good

The Way Back
03:39
|
|
||
Why do I feel so unprepared (and kind of scared)? Lie to myself every single day (like it's okay).
It's hard to see, but some things never fucking change. And I don't know where I'm supposed to go.
I still don't know just how far I'd go.
I don't need footsteps to follow or look back on.

Undertow
03:22
|
|
||
I've been sitting in my room for the past hour or so imagining I'm swimming and get lost in the undertow. Then Tom walks in and asks me if I want to go and watch some waves. And I'll say "no."
I can feel the walls when I spread my arms out wide. And I can hear them talk about me on the other side. Believe me, if I had a choice I wouldn't be here. It's gonna be a long year.
Look at my reflection in the empty TV screen, thinking about school and home and everything in between. Sipping Miller and chewing Twizzlers until I fall asleep. The promises I have to keep to everyone relying on me to be who they want me to be.

You say you know me
How do you know me?
Is it better than I know myself?
Oh, is it better than I know myself?
You say you want me
How do you want me?
Baby, you can pick and choose
Oh, well baby you can pick and choose
You said it on the internet
What does it matter?
She hasn't even read it yet
You say you love me
Why do you love me?
I just get so confused, I just get so confused
You say you hate me
Why do you hate me?
I think I know why you do, I think I know why you do
You said it on the internet
What does it matter?
She hasn't even read it yet
Not yet, not quite yet
Not yet, quite yet
Not yet, quite yet
In your head, in your head I forget, I forget
In your head, in your head, in your head, we were laughing the whole time
We were laughing the whole time
