This Charming Man

They say you only get 7 minutes of heaven but I already had my 5 of hell
It makes me so unbreakable but I keep missing nothing else
The light isn't going to keep you safe or tell you to go to sleep at night
It's going to corrupt you and take you down, putting on a good fight

It will eat you from the inside and take you wherever it goes
Quitting when you're younger is easier but who fucking knows
It's harder every day and every day I need to stop
One more step id really prefer to not

They stopped me on my way home and handcuffed me uncomfortably
I watched as they took her away and drove her away I couldn't see
I slept through my alarms the next day and ignored the whole world
I just felt bad, those fuckers and the helpless 18 year old girl

One day I'll see how good you were to me
And maybe I won't complain anymore
When the day comes your smile will let me be
And maybe this time you'll come knocking on my door

Your excessive isn't enough for me and my brain
But I know I take up too much to stay
Leaving wasn't hard it's the goodbyes that got me
And giving away the only set of my keys

I'm on my way can't you tell just a block away
I'll probly fall apart but get glued some day
That day is just not today or anytime soon
Cause yesterday was December but tomorrow is June

I spent time digging and getting dead dirty burnt
My five minutes should have been better but they weren't
So keep your seven, show them to the gods
Maybe they'll like you and show you how to walk

Five to seven and I'm running away too much on my mind to stay

Maybe this time you'll come knocking
Unlike the last time you were screaming
I'm not here to be shoved away again
I'm not wanting to be anything more than friends

Drunken Night In Jail

Are there people you don't know
Who can throw away what you can't show
If you don't know the place or time
I don't think I'm ready for this state of mind

Don't throw out my dirty clothes
Cause I'm not ready to leave
Just please stop wasting it all on blow
And maybe I won't need help to believe
In you

I'm stuck between two lies
And I don't know what to say
I liked this one too much
But less and less each day

I know him way too well
To not even know him
I'm surely going to hell
Guess I'm never gonna win

One turns to two and there's no going back
I can't stop now can't afford to slack
It hurts me to watch you try to help me
But I won't leave you don't you see

Just because I'm gone doesn't mean I don't care
I just can't be long I gotta get outta your hair
Once and for all I'm leaving this tip
I'm dipping right now one less target to hit

Stuck Is So Cliche

I didn't know you too well
but I saw your face a lot
I know you're sad and I can tell
six more months I'll save you a spot

definitely not ready to talk to you
what could I even say
I'm sure I'd be offensive
you can leave us to our dismay

freedom never felt so terrible
walking around with a gun pointing down
nothing left to wear me out
oh
this won't give us peace of mind
it's better to lose than to never find

its not a mistake mistake mistake no
its a feeling I've never felt before
it's not love it's not hate
it's not sadness or a mistake

See You In Six Months

Father

Tell them you're exposed and there's no going back
I can't stop you from hurting those around you
Nothing ever will or ever stand a chance
Against breaking the circle and losing your mentality

I won't leave I know you want me to
I will plead with amnesia or insanity
Inside your mind is where I want to be right now
Deep down you saw me too well

In a different light I promise I look better
I can change your mind if I can change the weather
Don't put it past me I'm stronger than I look
But who am I kidding I'm not greater than the other

You thinking leading me on is better than saying no
Let's chill again soon this week but never follow through
I'm done looking for answers and finding the loop
Those like you are something you have once and never look back

All You Ever Do Is Hide

I don't fall too far
In any case I'm standing
No more connections without
Our sweet misunderstandings

It's quite over it's been done for a long time
I'm out of the game no more running for a while
Regretting the past years it can only be fixed by wine
I've been sprinting drunkenly to finish this mile

Take all my thoughts I don't need them
My mind is thinking one thing &nothing but that
Feel free to stomp in and send all your men
Just get it over with now where can we meet at?

I was just a kid living in the adult only section
Trying to cope with rotten mother coping with attention
She said it's weak of me to run away and hide
But it's heroic actually to be hidden out of sight
And to exploit your tragedies because they're mine too
It would feel better to me- being without you
But please don't flick your ashes at me
Im sorry I'm not the trashcan you hoped for me to be
I'm a human and a good one at that
You wouldn't know, your idea of humanity is pretty sad
You're damn sad
You so fucking sad
