Tripping in the dark over my words It seems silly & a little absurd I know this Can you show this? We’ll go unnoticed Feels like I’m running in circles Think I’m out of miracles Sometimes~ I feel this way Revert and relapse It’s okay if you Fall behind sometimes You’ll just have to Convert, collapse Retrace your steps Know your false moods To write another… S L O W D O W N B R A I N F R I E D I can't write My hands are too tight.

I just wanna feel good Rolling up all the spliffs I need For my mood Rolling up everything I need for These things they fade away, I swear Whisper when I'm near Comfort me and tell me That everything's so clear I just wanna feel good Rolling up all the spliffs I need for my mood Rolling up all the things I need Fleeting honesty within me I hope you will resent me For all that I have done Going back to try and figure out The quickest most efficient route To where it all went wrong Did you ever have a doubt Did you ever figure out Cause everyday is full of shame Waking up on random dirty floors The beating heart says nevermore And gives in to the pain But hey You got what you want now And I can't even breathe I said hey You got what you need now And I can't even speak Or shout in self defense Lie to me with open eyes Tell me everything will always be alright Once it comes again Lie and tell me You're not fucking with my head But you don't get to use me After I leave this fucking city Yeah you don't get to use me Cause I, I'll stop fucking breathing And you, oh you, won't ever know Cause I, oh I, won't ever show That we, oh we, are a perfect fit And I, oh I, can't get a grip on you

Petals skittering across the sky Today I don’t think I’ll be as wise To separate my mind Tear flowing from love-lost eyes I can’t think or see quite right Or read between the lines Sleeping late high on a restless night Will I fall or fly? You’re the person I once knew In the gardens that we grew Beneath the sky And if it’s time for me to go To a heavenly kept home Then that’s alright. I don’t feel too well Like I’m trapped in my own hell Through the spirals of my eyes this aphasia tells Of a silence for the years And forgetting all my fears And all I once knew We drove home At the witching hour Hands searched my chest For some faint and hidden tune That told me how to live, how to love To give and receive those things you’ll really need I’ll be your friend In the end I loathe the way, my consciousness dissipates Over and over every single god-damn day Waking up in the morning Just never felt the same.

F U A C K Feeling this lonely With someone by my side I'm sick of all the meaningless Relationships that i've tried Holding you tighter but it Doesn't feel right The knife in my stomach and the hands at my neck don't let me survive I don't think I'll hold on If I can't even get a grip Embracing my faults Before I slip I'm not one for fights Counting ticks on the long sleepless nights Expendable, forgettable and that's true And I just don't know what to do I just wanna hold you like the rest Comfort me and tell me everything's alright With your head on my chest Expendable, forgettable and that's true And I just don't know what to do

Over and over we walk to the end Closer and closer we get to the edge Over and over we walk to the end Closer and closer we get to our friends.

And I forgot The last kiss of my favorite light And the fading of fluorescent night I’m buried beneath the snow A delta below my eyes Seeking for thoughts in your blank gaze Divided by light, and turning out alright I had a beautiful demise It’s over now, are you mad about The lies? Goodbye & goodnight The people in my dreams are never the same The next day You heard them well It’s gone It’s lost. Forage for all your assets This year, I know you’ll have some peace left They said it’s cancerous To be living this way I forgot how much I meant I forgot how to mend.

I feel just like an afterthought So walled off yet close enough Whoever knew that it would be this tough Resisting what I know will fuck me up I don't think it's fair Set me up for disaster then leave me there Wish I didn't care But I spoke too soon Charming and friendly or am I deceived Cause I don't know what to believe Help me find the answer help me find my keys Help me find a reason to stay clean I don't think it's fair Set me up for disaster then leave me there Wish I didn't care But I spoke too soon I don't think it's fair Set me up for disaster then leave me there Wish I didn't care But I spoke too soon Now I'm the fool I'm scared of you Said I spoke too soon Now I'm the fool

If things seem worse than before It’s a matter of questions without answers I know you adore Seeing me on the verge of dissipation Chemtrail smile That’s overcasting the nothingness I see on your face I know you’re alone That doesn’t mean you can hurt everyone And yourself. Polarizations of the mind Exaggerations of the people we left behind I just wanna say, I’ll give you my best Then I’ll just leave you Like the rest I’ll feel empowered Your words aren’t any more Sweet than sour I don’t believe you I can’t Anymore Polarizations of your mind Exaggerations of the people you left behind You just wanna say I know you’re in there But I can’t see you anywhere

I'm painting an image With hung-up medallions Held in contrast to the image Our old memories that never happened We swear It's better off this way Off-putting self reflections Set aside for some other day What ever happened To hopeless romance Staying up past 3 AM watching re-runs and catching each glance Hope that it's okay That I fell asleep this way I hope that you realize every memory Is written down on every page I'm hoping for the best of it Setting up the relapse and a hopeless plunge to my bed I'm calling hope you answer Did you really feel better without me So call me out on all of my Mistakes I've made How was I supposed to convey What I wanted Always doubt Everything that I can't see Won't exist to me Did you watch me fall From the hole in the ceiling Shattered rooftops and fractured bones Send the old familiar feeling I'm feeling so shaky Still so unaware Everything that's laid to rest Is still a burden I have to bear Let's share Shattered picture frames It's so insane and unfair But repetitive and one in the same All of my idols have been laid to rest by unfair judgement
