Teeth
02:36

my mouth's been full of blood for three days straight now
it's hard to feel great when your teeth are falling out
and my brain's been a mess since I don't know when
and this aching in my upper lip is not helping with it
OooOOOOOOooooOOOooOoOoooOOOoo
sometimes I get so in my head it's hard not to feel isolated
sometimes I get lost in my thoughts I'm stranded
try to go outside
ride my bike
hang out with my friends in the broad daylight
sometimes doin good stuff don't feel right
OOOOooOooooOOOOOOOooooOoOoOOoOo
my car's been at the bar for three days straight now
I would go get it but I've been too drunk to drive
now I'm three shots in
and I'm bleeding from my shin
and this lack of coherency is not helping with it
OOOOoOOooOOOOOOOOooo
yada yada I'm sad
OOOoOOOoooooOOOoooooooOOooooOO
I'm gonna get shit done today
I'm gonna go out of my way to take care of myself even if it kills me
I'm gonna help myself today
patch up my knees and wash my face
cuz I deserve love
no matter what my brain says
1...2....1 2 3 4
OOoOoooooOOOoOOooooooOOoOoOooOo
KEY CHANGE
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Headbanger

I BANGED MY head against the wall I slammed it against the bathroom stall I wanted so badly to break my skull but my head's too thicc for a pessimist so I walked around with bruises on my face a burning purple shame displayed for days I guess it's fucking time for a change
This (2, 3) isn't fun anymore and it hasn't been for months now maybe it never was at all now sedating and numbing can only go so far I guess I should start giving a fuck now

Gainesville
03:42
|
|||
I drank so much coffee I'm feelin
out of my body
screamin along to country songs
on the back roads to Gainesville
the further I get from the place I call home
the less and less I start feelin alone
oh no
it's happening again
I get used to a place and then leave all my friends
SO HERES ANOTHER SONG ABOUT LEAVING I KNOW YOU DONT WANT ME TO BE SAD BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT ME MOVIN AWAY SCARES YOU MORE THAN YOULL ADMIT TO YOURSELF
SO HERES ANOTHER SONG ABOUT LEAVING THIS PLACE MAKES ME BOTH HAPPY AND SAD AND I ALSO KNOW THAT ME MOVING AWAY IS THE BEST THING I CAN DO FOR MYSELF
ITS THE BEST THING I CAN DO FOR MYSELF
this place is evil and I've
got to get away
it brings out your weaknesses, your flaws
it makes excuses for them all
and THIS PLACE is a trap
it pins you down and fills
your throat
your heart
your stomach
and your lungs
with alcohol until you choke
and i'll miss things like lying in your bed
waking up to pancakes, coffee, and kisses on the forehead
SOOOOO.....^^^^
and I'll miss things like lying in your bed
waking up to pancakes, coffee, and existential dread
drown the anxiety
with cheap champagne
escape the party
go out and cry
in the gahdam bushes again...

Cowboy Blues

I got the CoWbOy bLuEs
the kind that makes ya tremble in yer boots
what's a good ol' country boi like me to do?
I'll grab my truck
pack my shit and test my luck
I might just fuck
around
and drive my ass to Georgia
I got them CoWbYo bLuESs
the kind that gets yer banjo outta tune
can't eat
can't sleep
stuck in all this dang ol' gloom
I'll grab my truck
country roads gon' lift me up
I might just fuck
around
and drive my ass to Georgia
drive my ass to GeorgiAAAAooOOOOOGEORGIAAAHHHHH drive my ASS TO GEORGIAAAAAA

Ghost
03:07
|
|||
I'm just an idea
I'm whatever you want me to be
but as soon as I'm out of your head
I cease to exist
not something ya miss
and I don't know where to go
when I'm unoccupied
like a ghost without a body
or a thought without a mind
I'm having trouble
pretending to be myself
every time you're not around
I turn into someone else
my identity's formed by
hastily glued
insults and compliments
others have used
to describe the awkward shots I take just
trying to participate

Never Learn
02:42
|
|||
I wonder if you'll ever learn...
you keep making the same mistakes
and I keep giving you all these breaks
just hoping that you'll show your better side
you won't listen to anyone's advice
fucked up again and then act surprised
I've given you all I have tried
but you say you're just here to get what you want...
I've tried, I've cried, I've cared for you
but you crossed my boundaries like you do
I finally cut you off
and are you said that you were wrong or
because your self-image was burned?
I wonder if you'll ever learn...
oh no, you hurt someone again
apologize cuz they're your friend
but sorry is empty without a change
you fall into familiar patterns
act like my feelings don't matter
but I know you feel something besides shame...
and you say you're just here to get what you want...
empathize cuz yeah, I've been there too
trying hard to just feel something new
blind to my path of destruction
a hurricane hit land from the ocean
but that is no excuse
you're still responsible for you
no one gets better wallowing in their self-pity
we are always working on ourselves
don't push away the ones who try to help

Here
02:26
|

I think I'm finally here
no, like really here
you can see it in my eyes
I used to nod and smile
then zone out for a while
with guilt trips screaming in my mind
is this what it's like living life like you're alive?
i finally feel in control
three
long
months
alone with my thoughts
who knew I'd be ok on my own?
silence was my greatest fear
until I practice being here
(which ain't as easy as it seems)
sometimes silence turns to inner violence
and the world outside just feels like a dream
sometimes silence turns to inner violence and we let that violence
TAKE CONTROL
sometimes silence turns to inner violence and then that violence
TAKES ITS TOLL
sometimes silence turns to inner violence but
WE ARE NOT OUR THOUGHTS AT ALL
