forgive me, you cut out again.
it seems so easy just to blame the reception.
there's something wrong,
i dont know why,
why you, you never say goodnight.
so please just leave.
you dont mean that much to me.
you keep the ring, ill take those saturdays in bed,
cause i know you need them.
as for me, its nothing new,
just another two years.
i wish we'd always wake up new,
refreshed,
and born again with nothing left to lose.
we drink too much
who needs a crutch?
pull of the bandage, there's no wound.
so please just leave,
you dont mean that much to me.
give back the ring,
keep all these summers with your friends,
cause you know you need them.
as for me, its nothing new,
just another two years while im here losing sleep.
your sore thumb,
your best defense is miles from home,
and it reads like a letter with the words
all broken
erase them with a razor blade,
cause youre gone.
i was lost till i found you
but im breaking down now that...
your sore thumb,
your best defense is miles from home,
and it reads like a letter with the words
all broken.
erase them with a razor blade,
cause youre gone.

youre gone.

i cant stand to think about a heart so big it hurts like hell.
oh my god, i gave my best but for three whole years to end like this.
well do you want to fall apart?
i cant stop if you cant start
do you want to fall apart?
well i could if you can try to fix what ive undone,
cause i hate what ive become.
you know me,
or you think you do
you just dont seem to see
ive been waiting all this time to be something i cant define
so lets cause a scene
clap our hands and stomp our feet or something, yeah something.
i just gotta get myself over me.
i could stand to do without all the people i have left behind
whats the point in going around when its a straight line baby, a straight line down?
so lets make a list of who we need.
its not much, if anything
lets make a list of who we need and we'll throw it away cause we dont need anyone
no we dont need anyone
you know me,
or you think you do
you just dont seem to see
ive been waiting all this time to be something i cant define
so lets cause a scene
clap our hands and stomp our feet or something, yeah something
i just gotta get myself over me
and i hate what ive become
you know the nightlife is just not for me,
cause all you really need are a few good friends.
dont wanna go out and be on my own
you know they started something I can't stand.
you leave for the city, well count me out,
cause all this time is wasted on everything I've done
you know me,
or you think you do
you just dont seem to see
ive been waiting all this time to be something i cant define
so lets cause a scene
clap our hands and stomp our feet or something, yeah something
i just gotta get myself over me

im ready, i am

im nicotine
im coming clean
i fooled the crowd when i made it sound like i was more than ready
strike up the band,
deprive my sleep
cause theres no love like apathy
the bell that tolls rings loud enough that it should have woke us up
im trying to find truth
in words
in rhymes
in notes
in all the things i wish id wrote
cause i feel like ive been losing you
I read your last entry
overprivelaged kids keep crying
the need to fit in is harder when living life from a screen
old classmates please drop all your pens
dont write a word cause i wont reply
and im not bitter,
no its just ive passed that point in my life
im trying to find truth
in words
in rhymes
in notes
in all the things i wish id wrote
cause i feel like ive been losing you
Each night it ends too soon
you dont hold me like you used to
your eyes look like theyve seen too much
its always some excuse
too tired, too obtuse
you look so far removed
this time i fear im losing you
im nicotine
im a cash machine
im the color green
and you should have seen the looks i just recieved
i need a reason to let go
an intervention
a lulluby
something to cure me
please believe me
im trying to find truth
in words
in rhymes
in notes
in all the things i wish i wrote
cause i feel like ive been losing you
each night it ends too soon
you dont hold me like you used to
and your eyes look like theyve seen to much
its always some excuse
too tired, too obtuse
you look so far removed
this time i feel im losing you

on_your_porch

i was on your porch
the smoke sank into my skin
so i came inside to be with you
we talked all night about everything you could imagine
cause come the morning i'll be gone
and as our eyes start to close
i turn to you and i let you know
that i love you
well my dad was sick
my mom, she cared for him
her love, it nursed him back to life
and me, i ran
i couldnt even look at him
for fear id have to say goodbye
and as i start to leave
he grabs me by the shoulder and he tells me
whats left to lose
youve done enough
and if you fail, well then you fail,
but not to us
cause these last three years
i know theyve been hard
but now its time to get out of the desert and into the sun
even if its alone
so now here i sit
in a hotel off of sunset
my thoughts bounce off of sam's guitar
and thats the way it's been
ever since we were kids
but now, now we've got something to prove
and i, i can see their eyes
but tell me something,
can they see mine?
cause whats left to lose?
ive done enough.
and if i fail well then i fail
but i gave it a shot
and these last three years
i know theyve been hard
but now its time to get out of the desert and into the sun
even if its alone
