I stare at the mirror
Mirror stares back
Flashes they fade
Night goes black
Have some regrets
Wish I could take back
God, I hope I'm finally through
I'm through with all the
Cheap sex and cigarettes
Laced with the taste of my regrets
So save your breath and pretty dress
I don't miss you at all Ms. Loneliness.

I was so vain
Brutish and crass
The sound of my name
Raise of a glass
There's things that I said
I wish I could take back
God, I hope I'm finally through
I'm through with all the

Cheap sex and cigarettes
Laced with the taste of my regrets
So save your breath and pretty dress
I don't miss you at all
Regardless of the
Mistakes and sour grapes
Oh, how I hate to see a good girl's heart break
So save your breath and pretty dress
I don't miss you at all, Ms. Loneliness

I'm through with all the
Cheap sex and cigarettes
Laced with the taste of my regrets
So save your breath and pretty dress
I don't miss you at all
Regardless of the
Mistakes and sour grapes
How I hate to see a good girl's heart break
So save your breath and pretty dress
I don't miss you at all Ms. Loneliness.

sour grapes

my heart goes bum bum bum

tiger's jaw


lie to me like you used to
tell me everything is how it should be
lie to me, did you have to?
because in the end it never matters what I think

and I can barely tell the sky from the shoreline     
and I can see myself reflected in your eyes

and this was all a dream
and it's coming back to me
a portrait in grey scale
a perfect betrayal
and I can't even breathe with this weighing on my chest
you knew me at my best 
now I can't even stand on my own

plane vs. tank vs. submarine

green

unaware of the earth because its always just below your feet
you're now ungrateful for simple things like concrete
realities in which the rest of them live in
you're so detached now you can't name more than three friends

tried conversation but you just can't sell a joke
tried self motivation but you just can't keep the hope
that someday you'll understand
how everyone can just be okay

he's like a wall that speaks back in fragments
crumbles and falls and no one really misses him
no one ever comes to build him back up again cause
he's not meant to stand he'll just fall down if given the chance

there's a word to describe it but i just can't find it
on the tip of my tongue there's something like
climbing the tallest tree just to find out
you're afraid of heights

~~

when i was younger i knew just how to tie my shoes
as i got older i started slipping them on, so i wouldn't lose
time in the morning to sleep in cause i'd
stay up all night just wishing i would stop breathing

when i was younger i knew how to ride a bike
that time i fell and went to the hospital
was the last time
it's not as easy as just taking off, isn't that right?
wish i wasn't right

he's like a wall that speaks back in fragments
crumbles and falls and no one really misses him
no one ever comes to build him back up again cause
he's not meant to stand he'll just fall down if given the chance

there's a word to describe it but i just can't find it
on the tip of my tongue there's something like
climbing the tallest tree just to find out
you're afraid of heights


maybe someday it'll come back to me
everything i forgot
just to keep my head above
all this self loathing is getting to me
and it's gonna be 
the only part of me left to see

how to tie your shoes (wikihow)

Hey
I know I just saw you yesterday, but I wanted to say
That I miss you and I am sorry I always have to go
Every couple weeks or so
And I’m sick of the roads
And the tolls that we both have to pay, 'cause I’m always away

I miss the smell of your skin and your clothes
And I want nothing more than to be back at home again
Staying in, getting takeout, or binge-watching HLN
I haven’t slept well in days
I miss waking up, having coffee and breakfast in bed
Sharing showers, and I quit smoking cigarettes
Until I left for tour, now I’m anxious again
and you’re in bed back home, and I’m a total wreck
I'm still a total wreck

I tried to sit still
Made the call and now I’m talking to a voicemail
Left a message
Pay attention to the detail
Overwrought and overwhelmed
Hear me shaking as I exhale
Quivering and sweating out the chemicals
11 hour acid trip when Scott became a ceiling fan, and I am soap
So here I go, carry on alone
So here I go, carry on alone
I carry on alone

I miss the smell of your skin and your clothes
And I want nothing more than to be back at home again
Staying in, getting takeout, or binge-watching HLN
I haven’t slept well in days
I miss waking up, having coffee and breakfast in bed
Sharing showers, and I quit smoking cigarettes
Until I left for tour, now I’m anxious again
and you’re in bed back home, and I’m a total wreck
I'm still a total wreck

good ol mr rags

not used to being the second option
wish i knew just how to stop this
every song i make is so sad
it almost sounds fake
but this is something not even light escapes

wish you'd ask if i was ok
its alright, it wouldn't change anything
my parents think i wanna run away but oh god
there's nothing more i want than to just

stay home
stay alone
i walk around like i'm so angry but i
just can't feel my bones when they break
when they break
and they break
and they break
and they break

i'm losing all my friends again
it's not fine but i'll pretend
i'll stay put
and they'll wonder if i'll come out for summer
but every breath i take is so hard to catch
or catch a break
this solipsism's got me thinking that i'm fine with sinking
the isolation will slowly kill me
but this empty world could never fill me
a bottomless pit that not even light escapes
so i'll
stay home
stay alone
sleep all day 
they say i'm angsty but i'm watching this world erase me
walk around like i'm so angry
but i'm just waiting for the break

walk around like i'm so angry
but i wanna feel my bones when they break

bones

Life's alright in devil town
They're right, no one's gonna catch us now
Dad has bought a new car now
We're fine, no one's gonna catch us now
You said something dumb again
She's mad, at least that's what they say
Mum and daddy aren't in love
That's fine, I'll settle for two birthdays
Devil town is colder in the summertime
I'll lose my mind at least another thousand times
Hold my hand tight, we'll make it another night
I still get a little scared of something new
But i feel a little safer when I'm with you
Falling doesn't feel so bad when I know you've fallen this way too
We're all dead in devil town
That's fine, cause nothing's gonna scare us now
We're all in our dressing gowns, mine's white
And stripy yours is green and brown
I forgot my name again
I think that's something worth remembering
Spiders in your favourite shoes
Just leave them be cause they're more scared of you
Devil town is colder in the summertime
I'll lose my mind at least another thousand times
Hold my hand tight, we'll make it another night
I still get a little scared of something new
But i feel a little safer when I'm with you
Falling doesn't feel so bad when I know you've fallen this way too
Devil town is colder in the summertime
I'll lose my mind at least another thousand times
Hold my hand tight, we'll make it another night
I still get a little scared of something new
But i feel a little safer when I'm with you
Falling doesn't feel so bad when I know you've fallen this way too

i don't wanna be alive anymore
its just there's
too much to be fighting for
i don't want
to go outside anymore
cause it's all
too loud, too bright, too boring

and i don't wanna get in fights anymore
cause they're all
for something i can't care less about
but it still
hurts bad when you call me that
it still
hurts bad when you don't call me back

~~

and you don't wanna talk anymore
and that's cool
cause i still don't know what i'm fighting for
i guess its
the overwhelming fear of being alone
that just so
happens to be all i know

~~

SO TELL ME
IS IT WORTH IT TO YOU
TO MAKE ME
DRIVE A TOTAL OF A THOUSAND MILES
IN A WEEK
JUST TO SEE IF YOU'RE STILL BREATHING
JUST TO SEE IF YOU'RE STILL LEAVING

CAUSE IF ITS
TOO MUCH TO BE FIGHTING FOR
THEN IT'S
NOT WORTH IT TO DENY ANYMORE
I LOVE YOU
YOU LOVE ME
BUT ITS NOT MEANT TO BE
NO ITS NOT MEANT TO BE

DON'T EVER FUCKING LEAVE ME
PLEASE DON'T EVER STOP BREATHING

~~

i don't wanna be alive anymore
its just there's
too much to be fighting for
i don't want
to be alive anymore
i don't want to be in love anymore

i'll call it a draw (for tonight)

what do you want me to say
it's never going away
'cause I'm stuck on you like the smell of cigarettes on your flower dress
I want you under my fingernails
I want you in my sleep and in my dreams
I wake up spooning my pillow
sweaty hands but please don't tell your friends
now I'm addicted to cigarettes
at first I didn't let myself inhale
but smoke got through and so did you
and now every burn hole smells like home
and I know it's killing me but that still won't stop me
'cause now we smell the same but you still kill me faster
I don't mind that you lie sometimes
because I lie too
guess I'm just like you
I don't mind that you lie sometimes
because I lie too
guess I'm just like you
I don't mind that you lie sometimes
because I lie too
guess I'm just like you
I don't mind that you lie sometimes
because I lie too
guess I'm just like you
I don't mind that you lie sometimes
because I lie too
guess I'm just like you
