I LAY UNDER IT
03:21
|
|||
|
does it feel unfair for me to cuss you out
cause you found yourself in someone else?
you deserve the gettin' over
you deserve the gettin' clean
you deserve to have a husband,
have your reasons to get mean
but you don't...
now i don't see you
i don't know you
i still love you in this room
but you're outside of it
and i lay under it
yeah, i lay under it
yeah, i lay under it
yeah, i lay under it
it's your life!
who am i to hold you up?

COWARD
01:15
|
|||
|
it's dewy out
i remember it now
watched you step into the prints i left
the campground
both of us were quiet
making shapes with our mouthes
it's belittling, still
to fake-belong to anyone
facing lace
our friends are mostly yours now
i'm finding space in both of your hands to camp out
should i stay awake to watch you walk out?
covered both my eyes under my shirt
and cowered like i always do

LIFETIME
02:53
|
|||
|
i want to know what makes me love you
a lifetime waiting for ya
i could wait a lifetime
i don't wanna miss you
miss me with the bullshit
i just have to know
and if i wait for you now
it still feels bad just to sit around
and twiddle my thumbs for a lifetime
and treat our friends like a lifeline
can you give me a shoulder to cry on?
i'll bat my lashes like they're pressed on
glue all on my fingers, i'm obsessed with you
i'd do anything that you wanna do
a lifetime waiting for ya
i could wait a lifetime
whatcha wanna do?
i can

RESPONSIBILITY SONG
01:00
|
|||
|
give it a break and we'll go home
cause you can't drink and i'll get stoned
and think about our problems
cause you don't have the guts to solve 'em yet
it's not my fault you don't act your age,
we live our lives on different pages
i lost my patience cause you won't change
i lost my patience cause you won't...
a setback? you must be joking!
all my hopes and dreams are gone
it's not my responsibility now
it's not my responsibility now
it's not my responsibility now
hoo-hoo!

SQUASH
02:18
|

i spent the start of my summer unhappy but i’m fine now
i lost a couple good friends to a fire that i couldn’t put out
but i’m happy just to be here now
my friend duncan and i talked about how it wouldn’t get better
and he’s in therapy, and i’m still getting hammered
by the thunder crashing down on my life
but i’m happy that he treats me right
i spent an evening at my dad’s just hanging with the family
and they don’t mind if i don’t know how to drive the quad
they’re just grateful for my company
and i’m happy just to be in their life
my friend, he looks back, right through the mirror
guess he’s tired of getting tortured by me
still i cough, shake and tremble through my sentences
cause i’m holding back the spit through my teeth
and i’m just happy that we’re squashing our beef

can anybody get me shot?
i wanna die like a president
even the medics my opps
i guess it's you lying putting me over
i guess it's you lying putting me over
shorty had me from the drop
fuckin' round, we was only kids
ducking when running from cops
look at me crying, looking this over
look at me crying, looking you over
um, so i...
beat around the bush
feet all in the mud
be there if i could
out here in the woods
out here in the weeds
ration what you need
eat it from the box
begging for you on my knees
i'm still the same boy
outta hand boy
in a haze
loving you
this an SOS
i don't like it
i don't like it
i just wanna be your friend!
you know i could sit in the dark for hours
and talk to you about stuff
i'll be seeing you there
for me it's another life
(in other lives)
i been needing you bad
like a knee in the back
it hurts when i'm lying
now when i think of mike
yeah, i think i might jump
make me out to be afraid in the bitch
most of my friends don't know the kid, naw
nobody hold me down
or hold me closer
when you think of them nights
do you get them butterflies?
or do they flutter by?
over this dinner wine
i'll always sing a line for you
when i'm drunk

MINUTE SONG
01:00
|
|||
|
what can i say in a minute
that i'd never wanna vocalize?
i feel it even heavier now
i feel miserable
i guess i gotta work this job
'til i die or kill myself
or maybe someone else can do that for me
fold me over the bridge
maybe everyone i love has me looking backwards
i can't reach out anymore
rear-view held over my head
hurts to feel so depressed and depraved
that my disorder don't keep me from eating at all
i'll eat all of my words
this is a warning shot
this is a call to arms
call me crazy
this is a "please, just call me"
minute song

SHADOW MANTRA
02:37
|
|||
|
thought i saw you - god, it really was
i wanted to - but part of me thought that i couldn't stop
he had you in his arms
he had you in his arms
limp my way through crowded street in stark
the light moved and shadows of us both were over top
i teeter at the thought
i teeter at the thought
and then for once, i wanted to be caught beside you
so i won't have to hurry when we talk
i'm held up in the tar
i'm held up in the tar
no SMS or tissue could have hopped the gate for you
so stay a while so i can hear your dots
your silence is enough
your silence is enough
it won't take long at all
it won't take long at all
it won't take long at all
it won't take long at all

STANDARD
01:29
|
|||
|
if i get the nerve
to cut my arm in pieces
i just hope this song in standard
helps you out
if i hurl my body
left and right through traffic
don’t wait up for me
just try and park the car
if i lose you in this tide
and sailors drag my body
lifeless out the river
know i’m fine
if i ever start to lose my life
forget your name
don’t wonder if i ever loved you back
i did...
but life is hard

ALBEIT SLOW
01:41
|
|||
|
i black out in my sadness
i can't speak, it won't happen
you get me? i get fastened
now i don't mind
staying inside with the light on low
deleting the messages off my phone
nothing goes wrong when i'm on my own
killing myself, well, albeit slow...

SONGS FOR TIKTOK
02:00
|
|||
|
here's another record that you won't hear
cause i don't write no songs for tiktok
everything you say: works cited page
did you do it yourself? or did you do what it said to do?
i couldn't be the one that you admire
now you don't love me anymore
you're waiting for a hot 21 year old
to tell you now: do you sell your soul for fame?
now i can say anything i want
i can throw your name in the dirt
and you wouldn't know
hold me under water til it stops
and i log out...
