do u remember me???
i was that kid who lived across the street
i wore the same hoodie every day
you never complained
you never complained
i stand across the street
fingers in yr hair as i melt from the breeze
8th day of spring
she taught me how to feel everything
she feels everything
ur wasting away!
i have lots to say!
i still see ur face!
i can’t go away!
i’m still feeling so!
unpredictable!
feel my heart beat slow!
i don't want to go!!!
(x2)
ur wasting away
i have lots to say
we’re just wasted space
let’s just go away

i wanna be nothing i wanna be yrs
i wanna be something even if it hurts
don't stay a while
don't stay a while
i wanna make something they can’t see again
i wanna break my bones and cut off all my friends
wasted in time
i don't know why
there’s glasses in the cupboard
i’m making milk and cookies
she's wearing red and black to match the leaves outside
my body’s keeling over
yr feeling kinda empty
a rotten kind of creature sold from 2005
the ground is frozen over
i miss your eyelashes,
how they brushed against ur cheeks when it was all too much

the moon is hiding his face tonight
it’s been a while since i’ve seen his eyes
the branches of the trees hold me gently
i can see the stars from here
they whisper softly in my ear
they tell me to stay a while
take a seat and share a smile
though stars are perfect liars, as they tease me from afar
hiding behind a mask of black and white that never seems to fall
and as i’m laying in my front yard, and the stars begin to fade, i realize i’m not the only one here who’s been taught to hide my face

he’s wearing skinny jeans and vans that make him tall
it’s an irrational fear of feeling small
how could i care about your opinion when you don’t care about anything at all ?
i stay in bed all day avoiding my own thoughts
how can i face the things i'm not???
it’s a cycle and i can’t break free
i don’t wanna be seen, don’t listen to me
and if nothing really matters, why are we still here at all?
i don’t want your affection
give me attention
i just feel so small
everything’s fading away and i don’t know my name
i feel like a stupid little kid and cry
can’t get rid of the rain clouds behind my eyes
and
i can’t stop seeing ur name in every place i go
it’s like we are dying and know that we can’t say goodbye
i drove up these hills and i thought of ur eyes
i don’t know why
and if nothing really matters, why are we still here at all?
i don’t want your affection
give me attention
i just feel so small

nihilism

i'm spending hours in my room
staying up late staring at the moon
and i know it doesn't help my mental state
but the world is so big and i feel small in its place
the world is so big and i feel small in its place
i’ve traversed seas and places afar
tossing and turning after dark
and my friends say i’m weird and i don’t complain
because the world is so big and we die anyway
one day it ends and we die anyway
and i don’t think it’s sad to think this way
people say i’m sad and i’m not

internet suicide

i don’t wanna wake up tomorrow
i don’t wanna wake up anymore
i’m not feeling suicidal, i just always feel so bored
on august nights the sky is heavy
don’t u think there’s something more than what we’ve got here on the floor?
there’s something more...
and i’ve been staring at my arms and legs for way too long
and i know i shouldn’t do it, but what’s the harm?
(x4)
i’m making my parents cry
every time i want 2 die
in the real world i am fine
i’ll resort to internet suicide
it’s not like i want to die
trust me, i’d do anything to stay alive!
my body hurts inside,
i’ll resort to internet suicide

i’m never tired
i’m always feeling sick as a dog at night
wonder if mornings ever had meaning
cry like a wolf when it’s light
spewing up nonsense
coughing up bloodstreams
my hands are sorry knives
and when dusk comes to greet you, kiss him so gently
you’ll never know if he’s right
but my dog likes u more than she likes my friends
she will lay down in the shade and feel nothing again
my dog likes u more than she likes my friends
- - -
and i like ur:
eyes cuz they shine when u smile
hands cuz they understand
face cuz it makes me feel safe
and i hate:
that i still feel this way

nocturnal sounds

please consider concrete kisses all over my body and face
i don’t want to live much longer, though i know the earth’s my place
and my body and bones, they never feel like my own, oh i guess god makes mistakes
i’m running fingers over painted glass and shapes of red and green
but you don’t understand how the world is turning
and you don’t understand how the wind blows at night
and i’ve been getting tired of chasing feelings i know will leave when it’s light
god i hate the night and its nocturnal sounds
i don’t feel safe at all
i fall limp to the ground
god i hate the night and its nocturnal sounds
on september 11th i almost died
i passed out in the bathroom, i fractured my spine
and i cried
no one could hear me cry
so a fragile mess, i made my way back home
my room was cold, my windows closed
and i laughed it off, alone in my room
it could’ve been the last time my body moved
god i hate the night and its nocturnal sounds
i don’t feel safe at all
i fall limp to the ground
god i hate the night and its nocturnal sounds
god i hate the night and its nocturnal sounds

the words
01:23
|

|
you’ve got the world on ur shoulders and it’s weighing you down
when i open the window i can hardly stand the sound
of the people around me and the places i’ll go
you know the only way to be yourself's to learn to be alone
there’s a darkness inside you and it grows every day
i’m so sorry that i never found the right words to say
all the things that i felt when you’d tie your shoes or you closed your eyes and when you spoke so softly
it’s like we’re brand new
and i can’t find the words to say how i feel for you
or do i even feel the way i do?

every day’s the same as the last one
every day’s the same as the last one
every day’s the same as the last,
i miss your voice, i miss your past,
i miss the way your hands moved in congruency to mine
i still have ur stuff inside of my drawer
i promise, it doesn't hurt anymore
but the guilt of knowing you’re still here, i think it makes things worse
but i’ll try living again
even if it never ends
and when i wake up tomorrow, maybe i’ll forget why i even cared tonight
every day's the same as the last, you know things never change
so how come when i look in the mirror i see a different face???
my skin is losing its hue and there’s nothing i can do
so please forgive me when i try to be like you
but i’ll try living again
cuz u know it never ends
and when i wake up tomorrow, maybe i won’t even have to pretend!
i used to keep these things that i knew weren’t you,
but your presence seems so fake, it’s hard to differentiate the two
i can’t explain all the feelings in my brain
and the colors of the trees
do the leaves fall just for me?
i’m tired of looking back on things i knew would never last.
this cycle is a test of my own free choice
and if it never really ends, maybe one day we’ll rejoice
i’m going to bed, i guess
it’s not like i want to think
when will you realize the fact that you don’t mean anything?
