Every day I think about dying
Each day more painful than the last
Every day I just end up sighing
My good days are written in the past
If this happened to me, this can happen to you
If nobody hears this, what will I do?
Well I’d like to be in a land submarine
At least for an hour or two
All the ways the I can spell regret
Cursing as I stumble through the door
Acting like my brilliance is a secret
Script in language that nobody knows

Bad Year
01:26

Twenty sixteen was a real bad year
I’d give anything to get outta here
I’ll sit in the clouds just waiting
For anyone to take me home
Now I know what it’s like to feel alone
Cone shaped pockets and an ice cold beer
Shit stained locket that I’ve kept for years
My legacy softly burnin’
Sweet jealousy takes ahold
Now I know what it’s like to feel alone
Twenty sixteen was a real bad year
I’d give anything to get outta here

Astronaut

Up up, into the sky
Is where you’ll fly once more
Do you remember this?
A secret kiss from shore
Astronaut do you say you got
Any room for one more on your flight
Burned away with a short delay
Any spec of decay in my mind
I hear you counting stars
All while I scar the floor
And when I close my eyes
You will reprise the score

Cyber Bully keeps me up at night
At least there’s someone
Cyber bully knows about my life
At least there’s someone
Who thinks about about me every day
Who cares about all the things that I say
And so I thank you cyber bully
For keepin’ me in tow
I know that you don’t owe me
But please don’t let me go
Searchin’ usernames into the night
To prove you’re someone
Cotton coffin bathed in the moonlight
To prove you’re someone
Woah

Truce
03:37
|
|

One night alone Can change your point of view
No self control I’ll retrace every clue
I’ll write a song and I’ll write it about you
And I promise not to break this life we have hewn
I promise not to break this truce
I didn’t know that I could hurt you too but
One common goal was fading out of view
I should have known that nothing’s ever new
And I promise not to break this life we have hewn
I promise not to break this truce
Every god-damn cliche riddled
Love song ringing through my head
I see your blood stained messages
I see the red sheets on the bed
Your panic is my methadone
Your pain my psychic glue
So I promise not to break
Yeah I promise I can’t break
Oh I promise not to break this truce
Right now it's raining
And it is raining
You can't pretend that it isn't
But the skies will clear
And the rain will give way
You'll enjoy your time in the sun
Eventually the clouds will form again
And you'll feel the rain in your bones
It'll fall either weaker
or harder than the last time
And yet, every time
You'll get a little better at remembering the sunshine
Until
One day
During the darkest storm
Amidst your harshest pain
Even though you can't feel its warmth
You'll see sunlight

My Friends

My friends think I’m happy and they’re mostly right
But I get scared when I look at a stage
I am not a racist but they’re mostly white
So maybe I’ll just listen and think
I see my replacement when I step outside
Yeah I can be a little diseased
Chemical blankets made for us to hide
From everything that gives us unease
I am not a bad guy I’ve said maybe three bad words today
But when you look in their eyes really makes you wonder
What they say about you
It sounds quite alarming but we gotta fight
This corporate aristocracy
First a little coffee yeah that feels just right
Or maybe I’ll get anxious and leave
They think we’re deep state sympathizers
Playing retro sythesizers

Mr. Rogers

Oh, Mr. Rogers I’m
Trying hard to make things right
But I still think I’m losing everyone
Got a card says Private Eye
And every time a spot a lie
I explain lying ain’t that fun
But oh, Mr. Rogers I’m
Convinced that certain people care about
And only ever just themselves
So I, bought a locket and I put a little picture of you there
Please won’t you promise not to tell?
Oh, Mr. Rogers I’m
Trying hard to make things right
But I don’t think I’m fooling anyone
I’m not sure just why I try
I can’t see why they deny
Maybe I’m delusional for one
Oh, Mr. Rogers I’m
Trying hard to make things right
But I feel like I’m staring at the sun
I don’t wanna close my eyes, but oh my god that is so bright
I’m not sure there’s anywhere to run

When I'm Bored
02:15
|
|

Sometimes when I’m bored
I like to think about dying and
People I’ve ignored
I like to think they’re still trying and
Baby no it’s not what it seems
I’m just a bit dizzy
Maybe this is all just a dream
Gotta keep myself busy
Always keeping score
I’d never think about lying but
You said once before
That the truth ain’t satisfying but
Baby no it’s not what it seems
I’m just a bit dizzy
Maybe this is all just a dream
Gotta keep myself busy
All the stars, they shine on you
And me
And me
And me
And me

Bombshell

She hits me like a bombshell every night
Invisible charades in the moonlight
I can’t do anything much longer
I’m letting go to drift away
She hits me like a bombshell every day
Keep me happy, keep you sad
Keep me darlin, only glad
I see the drowning faces in my eyes
Sweet silent suffocation, I’m airtight
I’m holding out for getting stronger
I’m thinking that today’s the day
She hits me like a bombshell anyways
Keep me happy
keep you sad

Some People

Some people don’t give a shit
If they pay their debts
Some people don’t give a fuck
If they screw you up, but I do
I wish they would to
I wish they had a clue I know
Some people are confused
Now what do I do?
Some people never think twice
Don’t care wrong or right
Hating and burning inside
They can’t see your light, but I do
