i have tumbled down from an overwhelming high 
where painted clouds are drawn above a pale blue sky 

where i'm at is not a bad place, it's just not good enough 
if you see me drowning slowly, please don't pull me up 

if i died here, would it be the worst thing 

it'd be nice to drift through waves that never crash 
where all the lights stay on, caged in by stone white ash 

if i died here, would it be the worst thing 
i just wanted you to miss me 

if i sunk into the yellow sea 
would you promise not to dive in after me

solano drive

i ran for the door when you told me to stay 
don’t follow me out just go away 
i tried to ignore you asked me for more 
i just want a reason to stay awake 

i already told you 
please stay away from me 
i already told you 
what do you want from me 


like two pieces cut from different cloths 
we don’t fit and my heart is not enough 
raise the music to level twenty two 
i can’t hear my thoughts, but i am thinking of you

fly by off north lamar 
we're driving downtown in your orange car 
i'm tired and you're tired too 
but it's easier being tired with you 

i let this city eat me inside out 
give me a dose of morphine, let me shout 
at the top of your lungs, the whole world's in our mouths 
we'll blow smoke til we're gone, let our souls fizzle out 

fly by off north lamar 
we're driving downtown in your orange car 
i'm tired and you're tired too 
but it's easier being tired with you 

black eye, we're two for two 
i'm down one shot but you've had a few 
it's a nightmare but we're on our way 
we're gonna find out why someday 

and when we're down and out of play 
we'll scream at each other til we're almost okay 
forget the sound, don't call my name 
just bring me salvation in the form of your face

'simply because happiness is important'

i wrote a song
 a long time ago,
for you.
it got lost in the papers.
and i guess there isnt much for us to do
but sit and wait here,
for the best to come.
for the best to come.
on its own. 
when boys seem dumb,
its best to just stay at home,
i guess.

feel good memories
dont feel that good to me,
anymore.

and it feels best
to tell
everyone
how you felt.

and its all gonna go through
its all gonna go through you.
but itll all be gone,
soon
Oo

well, i wrote you a song a long time ago.
well, i guess it got lost in the papers.
       ((well, i guess it got lost in the pictures))
well,
here you go.
here you go.

Self-Happy Packet

december 17, 2017 

pointed chin and rounded nose 
the angle at which they slope 
keep me on my knees and on my toes 

freckled face and ears that glow 
a breath you take, soft and slow 
stop my heart but that’s just how it goes 

please don’t walk away from me 
before i say my piece 
i know it’s hard enough to keep 
your composure 
and maybe later on this week 
we’ll take back the words we speak 
and you’ll tell me once again 
that it’s over 

tangled hair, a beauty mark 
every touch, a work of art 
tell me why this has to be so hard 

glassy eyes and lips that part 
a tear you shed, an odd remark 
why’d you make me love you in the dark

Me's Album

daisy 2 (demo)

voicemail-33 [i'm sorry]

on being a 20-something with no sense of direction

lyrics:
i'm only 20
so why do i feel like i'm dying slowly, waking up restless?
it's kinda funny
the lengths that i go to in order to measure each moment
make the most of the day
i'm a little too cautious, saying
make a ripple just careful they ain't waves
(careful they ain't waves)
can't disrupt this place
but aren't you bored of this?
am i gonna spend every minute just trying to save some precious time
(save some precious time)

leave the light on, when you're gone
and i'll be lying here with eyes glued to my phone
'cause i ain't sleeping when i'm alone
can someone tell me that i'm fine 
'cause right now i don't really know

i don't want to die, but i won't lie
i'm not having the best night
this shit keeps my head so busy 
wondering if we wasted time

i seek out comfort
but only for long enough to know my life is worth something
sunset escapes
and you tell me stop running, stop running babe, but i
gotta catch up, the future is minutes away 
oh tell me i'm okay, i swear i 

i'll leave the light on, when you're gone
sick of going out but sick of staying home
'cause i ain't sleeping
when i'm all alone
but when you tell me i'll be fine
that's the only time i really know

i don't want to die, but i won't lie
i'm not having the best night
this shit keeps my head so busy 
wondering if we wasted time

we live for the feeling
praying to gods in our minds, getting high as the ceiling
remembering not to forget how your touch is so healing
chemicals rush to our heads
i used to wanna be dead, now i forget, can i just vent, baby?

i don't want to die, but i won't lie
i'm not having the best night
this shit keeps my head so busy 
wondering if we wasted time
i don't want to die, but i won't lie
(praying to gods in our minds getting high as the ceiling)
i'm not having the best night
(remembering not to forget how your touch is so healing)
this shit keeps my head so busy 
(i used to wanna be dead now i live for the feeling)
wondering if we wasted time
(i rise with the morning, and fall with the evening, yeah)

a big thankyou to my best friend sebastian sabatin for mastering it<3
