I’m falling asleep again
The days are creeping together now
Can’t remember
All these dreams that are blending in
Wish I was here but I still somehow
Lost my temper
I’m counting sheep in my head
Cause anything would be better than
What I should see
My body’s sinking in just like lead
Into this ocean of nothingness
I’m releasing
I want to believe my eyes
Never was any good at these goodbyes
Leave me in my head
So many places I never went
Leave me in my bed
So many faces I never met
I’m reading my mind today
Nothing else seems to interest
My attention
Do you think you could help me stay
Awake for long enough to be missed
When I’m mentioned
Forgot what this feeling’s like
Gotta ask if I’m feeling anything at all
If I could numb it I think I might
But feeling nothing would probably just get old
I wanna believe her lies
Never was any good at these goodbyes
Leave me in my head
So many places I never went
Leave me in my bed
So many faces I never met
Leave me in my head
So many years I have yet to spend
Leave me in the end
All of this hurt I have yet to mend

Wipe your eyes
It’s time to come clean
You’re paralyzed
Let’s end the routine
Quit fighting me
This isn’t my fault
The fuck is he
Leaving letters and calls
We took our time
The things we saw
We fought our fight
To lose it all
You played your games
And strung along
Your ride back home
No excuses
No replays
I’m so useless
Without your name
We’re better off
Going our ways
I’m still in awe
Was I just another phase
Have better luck
Whoever comes next
She’s quite the fuck
But emotionally wrecked
We took our time
The things we saw
We fought our fight
To lose it all
You played your games
And strung along
Your ride back home

Take it off my back
Tell me what I lack
They told me shoot your shot but
Read between the lines
Vomit my insides
Think I need target practice
Take away everything I used to say
I think maybe we could feel the same
Gave away all the shame
That I used to try to tame
All in hopes that you’d still know my name
Tell me I fucked up
Wish me better luck
Repairing my own self worth
I’ll pour it down the drain
Remember it’s a game
Forget I ever asked you
Take away everything I used to say,
I think maybe we could feel the same,
Gave away all the shame,
That I used to try to tame,
All in hopes that you’d still know my name
With you I’d be on my best behavior
I’d keep my cool in front of your friends
Each day with you I know I would savor
And if we fight I’ll be first to make amends
With you I’d be perfectly content
My eyes won’t leave for anyone else
Too bad I’m not more confident
Instead I’m stuck here playing myself
Take away everything I used to say
I think maybe we could feel the same
Gave away all the shame
That I used to try to tame
All in hopes that you’d still know my name

Leave the light on
That kind of night
I’m not sleeping right these days
Fever dreams aren’t
So new to me but
I’ve never heard them say
You’re not special
You’re not good enough at all
Not good enough
Please can I stay
I’ve been looking for a ride
And it’s cold outside
Where are my keys
Cause I’m lost in the sound
And I wanna be found
Face it now
You’re burning out
Can’t you hear the sounds they say
You’re not special
You’re not good enough at all
Not good enough
When did you
Get so consumed
In what the others do
You take a few
Sleep in till two
It’s catching up too soon
Please can I stay,
I’ve been looking for my ride
And it’s cold outside
Where are my keys
Cause I’m lost in this town
But I wanna be found

SIDEWALK

Wasting my time
Waiting from the sidelines
Feels like my fight ain’t over
Forget my touch
Memories can be a bit much
Realize I’m not your savior
Watch me blush
As if I still had feelings for you
Still be hushed
And don’t pretend to care like you do
Give it another day
Giving my life away
Still kneeling
No feelings
These words are too revealing
Give up my privacy
Another worthless lay
Forever
And ever
Until he says whenever
Wasting my time
Waiting from the sidelines
Feels like my fight ain’t over
So play my favorite song
They’ll never notice that it’s not for you
I’ll play my cards wrong
To find out something that was never true
I’ve been walking
On this road for too damn long now
Give it another day
Giving my life away
Still kneeling
No feelings
These words are too revealing
Give up my privacy
Another worthless lay
Forever
And ever
Until he says whenever
Wasting my time
Waiting from the sidelines
Feels like my fight ain’t over

SISTER

Blood, hate, and betrayal
Faithless and wasteful
The innocence raped her
How, how could you do this
Something so heartless
He’ll pay for it later
Now rest your head on my shoulder
Tell me it’s over
You have all the power
Drink to feel not to forget
Sacred words filled with regret
Hate yourself another time
Close your eyes and you’ll be fine
We keep growing older
Thought that I knew her
That innocent flower
I hate seeing her in my mirror
Not getting clearer
She’ll pay for it later
We came into this world together
A pair of pretenders
But I’ll fucking end her
Drink to feel not to forget
Sacred words filled with regret
Hate yourself another time
Close your eyes and you’ll be fine
How can my head
Wrap itself around what you did
Found no reason
Still I hope to see you again
