What did you say, I could tell by the look on your vacant face
You don’t even know where you should go.
When we were kids I’d follow any path you chose
It was a time when we were all too young to lose.
You’re out of touch with what you claim to know
And I’m nervous
Cause you think your gold.
Tell me how are you settling into your new place
And do you only call up your mom just to argue every time your bills aren’t paid.
You can call it quits, guess it’s business as usual.
Everybody wants to take a jet to the funeral
You don’t even know about the debt
Let me tell you something ‘bout respect.
Because you’re out of touch with what you claim to know
And I’m nervous
Cause you seem so confident you’ll never be uncomfortable.
Wait till you're dead.
They’ll bury you alone.
You’re calling it quits again
I can’t help
You want everything.
You’re out of touch with what you claim to know
And I’m nervous
Cause you seem so confident you’ll never be uncomfortable.

Runaway

I saw you open the door
To a house that wasn’t yours.
Oh you forgot your cigarettes
Of course you did they're on his bedroom floor.
Oh, you know why.
Well did you know you didn’t call back but texted I should
Go to bed without you, could I
Question what it was that kept you away (am I too late)
But everybody tried to tell me she was always lying and I'd see
She doesn’t really wanna lie awake beside me
Just in front.
How did I know, that you’d go
You left me broken, all alone
But I could never tell who you were
Behind all the silence, say, well did you love me too .
You’re running away.
Well you know I was every bit as tired as you
Eyes with bags too dark to see through
Only sleep I got was Citizen on repeat
But you were every bit as me, every bit of you
I can tell we're done, I can see it through
I don’t need to think back to
When we were younger.
You left me alone,
you left me alone
How did I know, that you’d go
You left me broken, all alone
But I could never tell who you were
Behind all the silence, say, well did you love me too .
I'm running away.
I won’t ever be the one
And I don’t think that’s fair
I tell myself that you're in love
But I’m painfully aware
I could tell you it's just lust
I see red either way
it doesn’t change where I'll end up
I hope that's ok
Though I saw you leave,
You always wanna stay
The roses on your leave
I hope you don't retreat the pain
For all the times we'd run
For every single day
We spent together
Least I know you won’t forget my name.
In all of this, I'll leave your keys on his welcome mat.

Crash

Tell me is he in love, of course
I knew he’d never leave my head
He broke our bed you sleep the same
And how long were you torn for
We’ve built a house you threw away
You dare to say
(I need you)
I see everything you animal
Every time
(You)
I see everything you animal
You were mine.
In the mean time
Dance through street signs
Look for flowers, bloom through busy roads.
Can you see them, see the car crash.
And I can tell the slightest move would set her off
“But aren’t we the same, if you had tired I would have stopped”
Cause she don’t wanna be anybodies thought
But she won’t pick you up.
(I need you)
I see everything you animal
Every time
(You)
I see everything you animal
You were mine.
In the mean time
Dance through street signs
Look for flowers, bloom through busy roads.
Can you see them, see the car crash.
(Pick it up)
ICU
Deep Breaths
ICU
Look both ways you always cross my mind
Dance your way through old street signs

Surrounded by my isolation
The need to act and grief from lack
I was sad to say I was Impatient
The only joy here was platted and cracked.
Wasted my days
I had withered away.
(wow I never felt happy)
Succumbed to the numbness
I'd all but decayed
(it was the rain that had shaped me)
But now I can’t help but feel rusted.
Happy to keep your head down
Scared to let the gold beneath your teeth shine out
I promise you’ll feel better
Breathing the air again.
I feel similar to you
Lonely we are
You don’t seem it
Well you should see me
I was the problem I clung to
And ever since it came out you said you
Could see the clouds turn pink in August.
I was every bit as nervous as you were
No idea why I was freezing till it was too late
Yeah it was too late
Too cold
Happy to keep your head down
Scared to let the gold beneath your teeth shine out
I promise you’ll feel better
breathing the air again
I feel similar
Didn’t know you saw me so bright
But to be honest might not make it through the night
If you could leave me the light on
I would appreciate if you could keep the light on
Happy to keep your head down
Scared to let the gold beneath your teeth shine out
I promise you’ll feel better
Breathing the air again
Save your lies
You’ll seem civilized.

As long as they breath
The days you're alone with them
You can’t always seem to need
Be rid of the whole pretend
I've never fathered but I know blood
He isn’t forcing it, I can tell.
And yet here, here you come
You won’t fear to make it clear you’ll fear nothing at all
Tried not to wreck it from miles away
I only hoped I could have seen you every day
But still you seemed so clear
I always wanted to be an uncle

Drive

I could tell that both her eyes were glazed not sweet
See I didn’t even wanna know if she'd join me
She was running, couldn’t catch me
Should've drove away faster
Saw all the promises she made die like they're diseased
Under the tense that she was not trying to hurt me
I was running, she could see me
I shoulda taken the highway
She was home
I was alone driving through parking lots, I'm cold and lost in it
She was home
I was alone trying to catch my breath with broken cigarettes
(lost myself, keep you close)
I've been staring at the bottle in the passenger seat
Every ashtray filled to capacity
In the dashboard light and neon sign
Screaming you're going the wrong way
Drive
She was home
I was alone driving through parking lots, I'm cold and lost in it
She was home
I was alone trying to catch my breath with broken cigarettes
If I lost myself would it keep you close
If I left right now would you even know
See I was trying not to let myself be taken by my pride
One too many times
I've turned away from my own damn advice, I've been
dependent
obsessing
the ember
is burning out
She was home
I was alone driving through parking lots, I'm cold and lost in it
She was home
I was alone trying to catch my breath with broken cigarettes
If I lost myself would it keep you close, if I left right now would you even know
Should we burn this down, or go up in smoke
Should we end this now or is there still hope

It hit me too fast to find the breaks
And for a moment all the troubles fade away
But then the last chill evaporates
Call me a critic this clinic don’t feel the same
My body needs it
I feel it creeping
These drugs are peeking
But I know I'll lose this feeling soon
I'm feeling weak, I’m numb
And I just need a rush it's bittersweet my love
I'm sorry if you see me feeling weak
Cause I'm numb
And now I’ve had enough of feeling weak my love
Doors closing and I thaw out
High strung collapsed on the couch
Good morning. Did I pass out?
Still tired. Don’t think it's good for my health.
Crave sleep as shadows repent from sun.
Save me
From all of the things meant to hold me back
They leave me so relaxed
I'm feeling weak, I’m numb
And I just need a rush it's bittersweet my love
I'm sorry if you see me feeling weak
Cause I'm numb
And now I’ve had enough of feeling weak my love
Fam on the block they're scraping
Only thing you ever get waiting
I think I’m breaking down x2
Mother on the clock she’s facing
A little debt with a bit of your heart breaking
I think I’m breaking down x2
I'm feeling weak, I’m numb
And I just need a rush it's bittersweet my love
I'm sorry if you see me feeling weak
Cause I'm numb
And I’ve just had enough of feeling weak my love
I'm feeling weak, cause I’m numb
And now I’ve had enough of feeling weak my love.

There's a typo
So the blood work won’t go through
His heart is beating faster than two virgins sitting in a bedroom, clear.
It's just bad luck
I never even knew what to say to you
Always tried to protect me I’m guessing
So I won’t tell you,
That I can’t sleep
A depressed beat
For an old weak man.
I can’t keep this up
This is just my way to show tough love
Cause I can’t even tell what he thinks of me.
Can you see
All the questions are killing me.
Cause your other always makes me question
You
You never wanted to leave
I never said it I know
You never wanted to breath
Well you know what
Been smoking cigarettes since you said to.
It may not have ever been direct
but see I respected you.
I was young I didn’t know much
But who do I have to look up to…
But now I can’t think of a worse thing other than fear
that you ever made me do.
Had a pretty bad mouth no doubt it's loud
It gets worse
Cause I’m cursed
Can you see
All the questions are...
You
You never wanted to leave
I never said it I know
You never wanted to breath
Still you persist in my dreams
I can't shake
Still awake
But it seems I'm asleep.
