I used to get along with my friends // You probably didn’t expect that // When I started taking shit out on them // Now we don’t talk as much // And I don’t think I’ve seen them in a couple months // Maybe it’s for the best // They’re probably less stressed out // I know I wasn’t the easiest to digest // Have you ever wanted // To close your eyes // And let your car drift into the passing traffics headlights // Because my head’s been filled up // With clouds and smoke // And I want to clear it out // Before I choke it down // And I can’t remember the last time // That I took a breath // Without feeling I deserved anything less than what I laid out for myself // But it’s not the same now // As it was back then // Back when I could appreciate my friends // And after all this // I can’t believe you’re still friends with me // Have you ever wanted // to close your eyes // And let your car drift into the passing traffics headlights // Because my head’s been filled up // With clouds and smoke // And I want to clear it out // Before I choke it down //

Dare 03:04
Talk me down // There’s a reason why // I’d rather have my feet planted on the floor // And when I walk in // Everybody’s staring straight through the door// I never thought that I could feel so uptight // In a room full of people // They could see the whites of my eyes // The center of attention finds // A little place between fucked up and I’m alright // Obi tells me to calm down // You know you’re the only one that things // Everyone is watching you but // It’s getting harder to breathe now // And it’s like I’m snowballing and I can’t stop myself// Fuck this I want to go home and be far away from this // Oddly specific type of lack of self-confidence // But every signal in my brain // Is telling me to stay // I guess I’m loyal to a fault // So beat me down into the asphalt // Fuck this I want to go home // Fuck this I want to go home // Fuck this I want to go home // Fuck this I want to go home //

Bird Funeral 02:55
Do you think that I could be // Someone that you could be proud of // Because I’ve been absolutely terrified // To admit I don’t sleep some nights // Now I’ve been living in a slow hell // Promise that you won’t tell // Anyone where I’ve been the last few months // And I’ve been talking down to my friends // Almost every weekend // And I don’t think that I’ll ever fuck this up // Now I’m ignoring all my interests // Revelry and progress // How long do you think I can keep this up // But I’m just trying not to hang on // My self-deprecation // I don’t think I’ll ever recover this // But nothing calms my nerves // And sleep just makes it worse // I want to be someone I love // But I want to give up completely // Justify my existence // But it’s never that easy // It’s never that easy // And if I disappear // Would anyone be around to care // And if I stop breathing // Maybe then they’ll notice me // If I disappear // Would anyone be around to care // And if I stop breathing // Maybe then they’ll notice me//

I want to know what you think about // When there’s no one around // To keep your mind away from // The place it goes when you’re alone // Do you stare into space and justify // Every single choice that you’ve made // Or is it easy enough to // Brush it all off // And think how could anything really be your fault // ‘Cuz I’ve been trying to break my analytical code // And bring back the person I used to know // And systematically weed out // All of the things // That I hate the most // Like how I can’t breathe when you’re not around // If I could see inside my head and rip out all the parts that I hate // Do you think I’d be whole again // And not read in to everything that you do // And every time that you say I guess I’ll see you when I see you. // I guess I’ll see you when I see you//

A white piece of granite sat by the tree// It was unmarked but there was no doubting who was underneath// I couldn’t help but stare, but couldn’t bear to see// Because all around was dead grass, and brown and withered leaves// Death to hospitality// I’m unwelcoming to everyone// Who I used to be// I used to be scared of missing out on// Almost everything// So I never made plans for the things that I cared about the most// And now I’m left out on my own// Death to hospitality// I’m unwelcoming to everyone// Who I used to be// Death to hospitality// Because I can’t stand a single thing about// Who I used to be//

Basketball 04:01
I was up all last night // Trying my best to untie // All of the knots in my stomach and on my tongue // But I’m running in circles // So I picked up my phone again // To let the doubtfulness back in // This can’t be it // Is there really nothing more to me than // Missing the point of moving on // But I can’t help // But think to myself// How fucking miserable I was last year // And now my friends all hate me // Because I never want to go out // I’ll drink alone inside my room // I’ve got my coffee in one hand // And a sly sense of humor to hide // The insecurities I feel all the time // This can’t be it // Is there really nothing more to me than // Missing the point of moving on // But I can’t help myself// But keep the thought in the back of my head// How fucking miserable I was last year // And I’m running in circles // And I need to find my way out // I’m running in circles // And I need to find my way out // I’m running in circles // And I need to find my way out // I’m running in circles //

Lawn Games 03:18
I’m always anxious // I curl up on the couch and scream I hate this // And I check my phone every minute // So I don’t feel so alone // Inside my one bedroom apartment // I’d rather pass out on the concrete every night // And I rip my hair out // And I’ll lose my shit in a flooded bathroom // Nothing works to put myself back together // I’m just another sad excuse but I’ll just blame it on whatever comes to mind first // Why do I exist when every single second’s so hard to deal with // Call me out // ‘Cuz I’ve been lying through my teeth // I’ll tell you what you want to hear so you’ll believe me // I’m not alright I never was just to inconvenient to give a fuck about // Why do I exist when every single second’s so hard to deal with // Nothing works to put myself back together // I’m just another sad excuse but I’ll just blame it on whatever comes to mind first // Why do I exist when every single second’s so hard to deal with //

Death II 01:39
//
10.
I find myself sleeping in on days that should be // Spent with friends outside or doing something good // But I can’t wake up the shades have all been sewn shut // And when I go downstairs everybody else is gone// There’s something in the way that I just can’t get out of my head // That’s the least bit addicting // But lying to myself hasn’t seemed this easy // In at least a couple years // I want to get better// Better than before // So let’s get cathartic// I don’t want to do this anymore // Let’s get better than before //
