I'm sad for no good reason
yet my life is full of treason
all these people call me out but I'm still not believin
in a god above or the man upstairs
the one who never shows his care
we all know life just isn't fair
but you gotta ride it out, I swear

the media spits these lies into our eyes but it's no surprise 
that I'm struggling to analyze what they feed to me
it's getting hard to see who I'm cut out to be
maybe theres hope
hope for the future, 
but through this smoke
I cant see clear
momma tells me "look up, trust in god"
this bottle and this bong do a better job
I'm laid out on the floor like a dog
hoping to see my way through this fog

I'm locked up in my own head
honestly I'm better off dead
the moon shines on the old but we'll never know 
how this story will unfold
I try but I'm too delicate
in my heart I'm desolate

society fills our minds with these guidlines but its hard to fit
and i'm struggling to keep up so im gonna quit
its so lost to me, just who you wanted me to be
but you speak
promise of treasure
but at my peak
theres too much pressure
papa tells me "listen, trust your heart"
but my fails and my falls tear me apart
im buried 6 feet under the ground
i scream but dont make a sound

I'm locked up in my own head
honestly I'm better off dead
the moon shines on the old but we'll never know 
how this story will unfold
I try but I'm too delicate
in my heart I'm desolate

due to you I'm down on the ground but I won't drown
I'm struggling to get up so I won't make a sound
its getting hard to breathe, when your words cut so deep
but I'll smoke
and I'll find peace
I'll let go
of demons in me
I tell myself "hold on, just one more day"
but there's a path from which I tend to stray
I'm trying to make sense of this all
and every time I get close I hit the wall

I'm locked up in my own head
honestly I'm better off dead
the moon shines on the old but we'll never know
how this story will unfold
I try but I'm too delicate
in my heart I'm desolate

Desolate

oh I, I'm wide awake
oh I, can't feel my face
oh I, I fell so hard for you
oh my, it's hard to see
oh my, it's hard to breathe
oh I, just wanted you to be
mine
but I can't help myself
I'm lost on this shelf
so far away, away from you

oh I, I'm half asleep
oh I, I'm counting sheep
oh I, I'm getting over you
oh my, the air is cold
oh my, my joy is old
oh I, forgave myself in time
but I can't help myself
I'm lost on this shelf
so far away, away from you

oh I, I'm drunk off dreams
oh I, can't silence the screams
oh I, have lost all hope in you
oh my, I've paid the cost
oh my, I feel so lost
oh I, need love that's genuine
but I can't help myself
I'm lost on this shelf
so far away, away from you
so far away, so far away, so far away, away from you

Oh I

ive been soaking up the sunshine
reminiscing bout the good times
but im a sinner fallen out of line
not even Neptune can drain my mind
of you, of your disease
the way your body brought me to my knees
i've been good, i've been fine
until i break down again cause you're on my mind
well i get high, i space out
i stare at my wall until my vision blurs but now
but now, but now

Im falling through the clouds
into the river, into the pain
get out of my fuckin brain
cause you got me drowning so deep
not even Neptune can save me

ive been dancing in the moonlight
a tad bit tipsy but im alright
but im a angel with my wings broke
not even Neptune can keep me afloat
from the weight, from the burden
of repeating every word you've spoken
some the best, but most the worst
the loudest words are the ones that hurt
well I get drunk, I pass out
i taste the concrete on my togue but now
but now, but now

im falling through the clouds
into the river, into the pain
get out of my fuckin brain
cause you got me drowning so deep
not even Neptune can save me

I've been lounging in the darkness
embracing all the sadness
cause im a human, fallen into line
not even Neptune can flood my mind
with the shadows, with the rain
every sad song plays the same
they remind me of you, of us
youre the one i wanted to trust
well i think, i dream out loud
i see the stars falling out of line but now
but now, but now

im falling through the clouds
into the river, into the pain
get out of my fuckin brain
cause you got me drowning so deep
not even Neptune can save me

Neptune

how am i supposed to breathe
while you lie next to him
God I've lost so much sleep
but can you still pretend
that it's all right
and it's okay
well let's be honest
does it matter anyway?

I found hope
in the bottom of this bottle
cause baby I
always seem to forget till
I'm passed out
on the floor again
from this heart
that I'm trying to mend
well baby don't forget
every time you kiss him
I'm left here wondering how

how am i supposed to breathe
while you lie next to him
God I've lost so much sleep
but can you still pretend
that we're all right
and we're okay
well let's be honest
do we matter anyway?

I'm pressed for time
yet my worries are faded
he dances with you
away from the conflict you created
well I'm so happy
that I meant nothing to you
but yet I'm broken
and I'm hung up on you
well baby don't forget
every time that you hold him
I'm left here wondering how

how my supposed to breathe
while you lie next to him
God I've lost so much sleep
but can you still pretend
that you're all right
and you're okay
let's be honest
do you matter anyway?

I'll fall down
but I get up again
I'm washed up
like a has been
well he caresses
your body down
I'm wondering
if your heart can be found
well baby don't forget
everything he says to you
came from my mouth too, oh

how my supposed to breathe
while you lie next to him
God I've lost so much sleep
but can you still pretend
that I'm all right
and I'm okay
well let's be honest
do I matter anyway

Insecurity

Thought Process

Well I’m feeling blue,
It’s what i’m used to
I’ve fallen down
Right beneath you
And it’s hard to get through the day
Ill spend the night drinking my pain away
Another night of smoking to get you out of my brain
I’ll tell you I love you, but can you say the same?

I only ever wanted to mean something to you
I left you so much that I hoped you’d hang on to
Now I’m stuck feeling sorry for myself
Because your words put me through hell
I’m fucking tired of doing it again and again
I thought we had something but you just played pretend
And I can’t sleep or i’ll see your face
Just give me something, get me out of this place

I’ll fall for you again and again
And i put my heart in every word i said
I’m sinking slowly
But baby
Please tell me
That you love me

What's the use in trying to get you out of my head
when I'm singing about everything we had
cause she has to have something that I never will
or maybe she's lovely cause she can sit still
cause I'm shaking while I look in the mirror
as every fault on my body shows clearer
and I'm sorry I wasn't good enough for you
but tell me you love me cause this loneliness won't do
