everything this past week has been setting me off
i wish i could explain it more but i don’t really wanna talk
i need to get my head straight
i need to clear my thoughts
i need this day to end cause its been too damn long
and so far
I’ve only seen you once this month
and so far
i’m stuck in this writers block
take a break from your life
and focus on tonight
you need someone there
and i’d like to be that someone
I don’t know what to do
when i’m here without you
so i’ll just continue
the only way i know how
everything’s getting to me its all catching up
walls are closing in again
feels like i’m gonna lose my best friends
take a break from your life
and focus on tonight
you need someone there
and i’d like to be that someone
I don’t know what to do
when i’m here without you
so i’ll just continue
the only way i know how

i wake up defeated
i don’t even try at all
feel like i’ve already given up
lie in bed and stall
prolonging the action of waking up
or trying to get something done
angered by my own presence
and i won’t talk to anyone
i’ve become so negative
the glass isn’t half empty
there’s completely nothing there to me
the way i see it now
best intentions are your worst
efforts are meaningless
in the grand scheme of things
i reach in my pocket
only $2 left in my wallet
bank account in the negatives
just like me
i never finish my sentences
i don’t reply to anything said to me
i’ve been biting my tongue
until it bleeds
i hate who i am now
i won’t sugar coat it
diluting the truth never made it any better
i lack a lot of maturity
but i don’t lack self awareness
the walls of my brain slowly cave in together
i’ve become so negative
the glass isn’t half empty
there’s completely nothing there to me
the way i see it now
best intentions are your worst
efforts are meaningless
in the grand scheme of things
in the grand scheme of things

repulse
02:36
|
|||
i’ve been starting to question
the people i surround myself with
they don’t seem to be too encouraging of me
i try to distance myself
for the better of my own heath
but they don’t really seem to want to leave
come walking back
you let yourself in the front door
took the key from the mat
and made yourself at home
didn’t need an invite
you just did what you wanted to
and i’m too much of a pleaser
to say no
recounting past conversations
microscopic destructive exchanges
i hate to hear the things you say about me
but i keep listening
come walking back
you let yourself in the front door
took the key from the mat
and made yourself at home
didn’t ask for an invite
you just did what you wanted to
and i know i’m a pleaser but
i really want you to go
repulsive
impulsive
don’t come walking back
or let yourself in the front door
i took the key from the mat
and reclaimed my home
didn’t give you an invite
you just did what you wanted to
and i know i’m a pleaser
but this time i’m saying no
i really need you to go

subconscious stalker

|

i shut my eyes
i won’t have to think about you for the night
at least i hope that i might
you’re outside of my house
i can hear you screaming out my name
i won’t give in to your game
you won’t stop
i’m all pissed off
i open up my door
then i wake up
you’re still a nightmare
even in my dreams
i can feel you right there
coming after me
i can’t escape you if i lay down
you always make your way inside
subconscious stalker
ruining my night
i’ll stay up later this time
how do i stop myself from dreaming
or at least control mine
i can’t deal with this, not this night
gotta get my head straight, and get my dreams right
i lay down
you’re in my house
i start to freak out
then i wake up
you’re still a nightmare
even in my dreams
i can feel you right there
coming after me
i can’t escape you if i lay down
you always make your way inside
subconscious stalker
ruining my night
you’re in the crosswalk of my mind
crossroads of dreams and time
you’re running at me as i’m walking
get out of my head, get out of my mind
yeah get out of my mind
my mind
my mind
you’re still a nightmare
even in my dreams
i can feel you right there
coming after me
i can’t escape you if i lay down
you always make your way inside
subconscious stalker
ruining my goddamn night

always believe the victim
except if they’re a man
it’s just not the same thing
it’s not like you wouldn’t understand
oh what are you gonna do, cause a scene?
oh please, i didn’t even do anything
try and see what happens if you ever speak up
i can turn around and say you did it to me
you should feel lucky
you should feel fine
and i don’t ever fucking wanna see you cry
you should get over it
i think it’s hilarious
and i don’t ever fucking wanna hear your side
luck you
i can flip it all around way too easily
and i can make every half decent person believe me
i can take full advantage of their decency
and i’ll never regret lying about how you treated me
it doesn’t matter if i did that to you
you’re not a man
you’re just a boy
and you should feel honored
lucky you
lucky you
you should feel lucky
you should feel fine
and i don’t ever fucking wanna see you cry
you should get over it
i think it’s hilarious
and i don’t ever fucking wanna hear your side
lucky you
keep it to yourself
and man right up
i thought this was what you wanted
any other guy would want this
you should want it
you should want this
lucky you
you should feel lucky
you should feel fine
and i don’t ever fucking wanna see you cry
you should get over it
i think it’s hilarious
and i don’t ever fucking wanna hear your side
i don’t ever fucking wanna see you cry
i don’t ever fucking wanna see you cry
lucky you!

chisel

i’ve been at this for a while now
and every time i’m left with less than before
i don’t know who i am anymore
i remember how i was at the start
i don’t look like that anymore now
that time seems so far
in the past
bits of broken glass
still the same person i was
except not at all
chisel down the block until there’s nothing left
you chisel down the block until there’s nothing left
chisel down the block until there’s nothing left
you chisel down the block until there’s nothing left
you had a lot to work with
but it’s all been chiseled down
put another dent in your progress
but is it progress or just ignoring all of your problems
take some time alone
to listen to your thoughts
instead of pushing them down
to where they sit and rot
cause they won’t leave your mind
they don’t expire with time
they resurface stronger every time you decide not to
find
the root of all your motives
the reasons for your actions
and your distorted self opinions
chisel down the block until there’s nothing left
you chisel down the block until there’s nothing left
chisel down the block until there’s nothing left
you chisel down the block until there’s nothing left
you had a lot to work with
but it’s all been chiseled down
put another dent in your progress
but is it progress or just ignoring all of your problems
change your clothes
change your mindset
cut them off
take the right steps
towards self improvement
it isn’t hard if you tell yourself it’s not

i looked in the mirror today
i didn’t hate my face
i don’t know when that changed
the reflection looking at me
for once was satisfactory
i guess i like the way i look today
I’ve never felt this way before
but i feel good for once
feels like everything, might’ve just changed
nothing’s in front of me anymore
you’ve lost all your influence on me
you’ll never get that back
as long as i remember that
i like myself for once
change of clothes
change of mindset
change of friends
change of mindset
everything gets better
once you take the steps to make it that way
all change is good, i say
nothing’s in front of me anymore
you’ve lost all your influence on me
you’ll never get that back
as long as i remember that
i like myself for once
nothing’s in front of me anymore
nothing’s in front of me anymore
nothing’s in front of me anymore
i like myself for once

waste
04:21
|

you’re bored you tell me
well i’m bored as well
our conversations are getting stale
maybe i should leave now
it seems about the time
and that’s the only thing that feels right
wasting all my time away
monotonous attempt to conversate
i don’t feel like doing this today
running through the motions
losing my devotion
some things will never feel the same
you call me up again last night
just to say nothing to me
i hate when you waste my time
i’ll act like i don’t mind at all
like you’re not the one at fault
but honestly i’d rather not remind
wasting all my time away
monotonous attempt to conversate
i don’t feel like doing this today
running through the motions
losing my devotion
some things will never feel the same

i feel things have changed
we seem more distanced
with the distance between us
and all my insecurities i try to secure
i’ve been at this for a while now
and now i’m not quite sure
am i causing the strain
why do we not feel the same
is it the fact that for a month i’ve been away
minimal contact with you
still can’t fix my attitude
i’ll act like i know or like i don’t
but i’ll fake it either way
writing all my thoughts down in pen
just to try and erase them anyway
i can’t seem to know why i think that
i just tend to push most them away
am i causing the strain
is it about time we part ways
is this the scene where we both carry on with our day
minimal contact with you
still can’t fix my attitude
i’ll act like i know or like i don’t
but i’ll fake it either way

in conclusion...

i can feel it crashing down
everything around me now
coming apart again
i can sense it right behind me
falling right beside me now
the walls all cave in overhead
impending doom
keeps me wanting you
but keeps me from doing anything productive
every life starts off the same
and we’ll all die slowly
every day starts off the same way
and i’ll end it lonely
why am i complaining about problems i can solve?
how then if i solve them will everything else resolve?
will i finally be
somewhat happy
with everything
in my life
i guess we wont find out tonight
you got it all wrong man
everything that you thought you had figured out
won’t get you anywhere now
you gotta start back up from the ground
i know the truth is shattering you
i’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news
but it’s too late to give it up
you know what you wanna do
so when you’re at the top of that building
as it’s about to be knocked down
i hope you’ll know to go down with it
and to rebuild something new on that old ground
