I remember what you said
now you’re only in my head
an echo louder than the noise
this will pass, the sting will numb
but I’m still dumb
and hung up on the songs we sung
We were working on a dream
now I can’t get to sleep
I can’t hide
I can’t hide
from you
so I get high
I get high
I know these memories will fade
they always try to get away
finding cracks to slip through
but you can’t tell me how I feel
when I’m the one who greased the wheels
and I relive it everyday
I feel just like Wooderson
I get older. You’re 31.
the birthday boy is 31
he’ll always be 31

Slime Bath

I am done wasting my time
now that everything i used to love is growing colder
i'm leaving everyone behind
i can't help it that i'm terrible at growing older
and you don't know the first thing
about what happens in my mind
i'm picking up the pieces
and washing off the slime
i told you everything is fine
but that was then and this is now and i've been swallowing my pride
you're getting less and less alive
i know my memories aren't all i have but it feels like it sometimes
growing colder, getting older
i'll say anything to make a rhyme
getting wasted, copy pasted
everything gets covered in this slime
i always thought i walked the line
but i never listened to the words as closely as last night
i always thought it was a crime
but then i learned to love myself instead of wondering what's left to find

Undertow
03:47
|
|

I know there's not a heaven
just static in between the stations
the world is made of misery
and awkward conversations
i know you're missing someone
it hurts to even say their name
it's been a lonely summer
October boils in your veins
and you try to get a little louder
but no one hears you up in space
among the constellations
your spirit seems so out of place
Let's show everyone you're not alone
tell yourself to just put down the phone
separate your feelings from the glow
push back hard against the undertow
Remember every nightmare
they're with me when I close my eyes
look back on all those moments
i thought i saw through the disguise
And these times are getting complicated
feels like there's nothing left to find
just rearrange the letters
and see it spell out death's design

No Bad Days

i'm afraid
afraid of everything
afraid of death
afraid of fear
i can't leave my house
i can't leave my mind
i can't enjoy myself
i can't go outside
i'm afraid
afraid of loneliness
afraid of god
afraid i'm losing it
i can't ever change
i can't sleep in late
i can't maintain friendships
so i moved out of state
i'm afraid that if i'm honest they'll all hate me
and i'm afraid when it comes out i'll cry and cry
i don't ever want the world to know about me
but i'll sit down and write a song so i can post it up online
i'm afraid
afraid of anger
afraid of inner peace
afraid of doubt
i can't escape it
i can't unknow
all of these feelings
from down below
the world just seems so terrible and hard
i'd like for someone else i know to guide the way
when i set out upon my journey to find the shard
i will clutch my little flute and then i'll pray for no bad days
no bad days
but i'm afraid

Sun Keeps Shining

I can’t even hold a pen
without remembering when
we said we were best of friends
it wasn’t just so long ago
we were sharing highs and lows
hanging out late nights at shows
it doesn’t matter anymore
why you went slipping out the door
when you were doing fine before
but it was maybe just last week
i had a dream and heard you speak
and I was crying in my sleep
The sun keeps shining
when you’re gone
sun keeps shining
when you’re gone
sun keeps shining when you’re gone
but I can’t hold on
Sometimes you feel just like a stain
a steady brand upon my brain
that I don’t wanna fade away
when I’m alone and feel the pain
the numb that comes can be insane
my bones go frozen from the flames
a fire burning in my chest
I want the world and nothing less
to just stop turning I confess
cuz when you're gone
i can't feel the same
about anything left here now
I know that walking in the rain
can do you good and ease some pain
but it's not working yet today
as i go strolling through the mist
it's all the little things i miss
the way that you knew i exist
and i thought that this could be the way
that i could make it back to say
that i remember everything
all of the stupid jokes we had
all of the good times and the bad
but now the summers make me sad

Comfort Zone
02:33
|
|

|
I don’t even notice
the world turning around me
stuck in just one moment
I move imperceptibly
give me time to think
I need a little space
I know I can’t erase it
but I can’t process
That is way too much for me to take
I need a break down soon
while you’ve moved on I have to stay and get my mind unglued
everything is thrown
In my comfort zone
whenever I feel alone
whenever I’m getting stoned
with no one left to know
my comfort zone
I’ll always be boring
it’s fine if you ignore me
cuz I repeat the same damn words
it’s getting hard to breathe
I think I wanna scream
but I’ll just sit and think a while
Cuz this is way too much for me to take, I need a break down soon
while you’ve moved on I have to stay
and get my mind unglued
everything is thrown
In my comfort zone
whenever I feel alone
whenever I’m getting stoned
with no one left to know
my comfort zone
Wasted words and thoughts come spewing from my head
you could drown in all the stupid shit I’ve said
It’s getting overgrown
In my comfort zone
whenever I feel alone
whenever I’m getting stoned
with no one left to know
my comfort zone

800 Miles Away
05:26
|
|
||
|
I’m taking all the pictures down
cuz they remind me of you
I swear I’m gonna leave this town
cuz now there’s nothing to do
don’t think I’ll ever go back home
you lived right down the street
and on your front porch, I’ll break down once more
cuz that’s where we’d meet
800 miles away
I still feel the pain
800 miles away
kills me each day
800 miles away
and ready to start my life again
but 800 miles away I still miss my friends
I’ve wrote a bunch of songs by now
to help numb the sting
but every word that I write down
you’ll never hear me sing
and now that I have moved away
I can’t picture you here today
the landscapes erased
the memories have changed
in some subtle way
