i heard you were looking like the moon

these motels are never honest 
hiding any trace of previous guests 
as if the beds were never slept in 
and they remained that way after i had left 
every stain in the carpet more present 
as i kicked off my shoes 
theres a home for every bastard 
as i sit here in my room without a view 
as i sit here in my room without a view 

if its all in my head 
why does it feel so real 

these thoughts are never stable 
just a measure of the passing of time 
my head is never on right 
just a vessel for the thoughts in my mind 

if its all in my head 
why does it feel so real

Medicine hat tapes

Its all in my head

The Beths - Happy Unhappy

Spookyghostboy - by my side

ive been counting sheep
trying to fall asleep
without you by my side

no matter how hard i try
i always seem to lie awake 
feeling nothing..
wasting my time

you say you love me
but you don’t know who i used to be
and i feel like you should know
 
i’m starting to feel tired all the time
how do i escape my mind

 i feel my bones compress 
i’m ready to let go
of this weight in my chest
i’m tired of being a mess 
i’m not i’m not 
i just a little off track
i’m paranoid
im a hypochondriac

doing my best to avoid my feelings 
seeing eyes watch me in the ceiling 
and i know it’s not what it seems
but i still feel lonely in my dreams

{bridge}
why am i ..
drifting away

why do i ..
feel like this when i know i shouldn’t
i know i shouldnt 
i know

i feel my bones compress 
i’m ready to let go
of this weight in my chest
i’m tired of being a mess 
i’m not i’m not 
i just a little off track
i’m paranoid
im a hypochondriac

hypochondriac

new song that may or may not be on a new summer EP
I know I know that it's you
I know I know I hate myself too
This has all taken a bleak turn
Self loathing and loving
Gazing at the stars
Hairs grazing on my arm
Head full of read
There is never enough
no there's never enough

Tangerine

1000 Backyard Pools (1/5)

guitar riff by Drake Li
piano + co-mixing by James Ivy
mastered by Barry Grint

lyrics:

mountain sides and the rivers through,
flying lanterns and honeydew
diving into the skies of blue
hold my breath and i think of you
taking in everything around
grateful that i seem to've found 
the warmest sounds and the summer too
golden red and the baby blue

all my life i've had a dream that i'm holding on to
all my life i've had a dream that i'm holding on to
i wanna make you proud, i just wanna make you proud
i'm gonna make you proud, i'm gonna make you proud

just thinking about all those nights coming home from a shitty party
realizing i didn't have anything in common with anyone there
and i stared out beyond the windshield of my old car with that A/C broken
i felt so defeated 'cause every house looks the same
and i thought i'd never leave this place
but i'm only fucking 17 and frank sinatra's coming through the radio
and i told myself i'd just sleep this feeling away

all my life i've had a dream that i'm holding on to
all my life i've had a dream that i'm holding on to
i wanna make you proud, i just wanna make you proud
i'm gonna make you proud, i'm gonna make you proud

(give it some time, just give it some time, everything will be alright)
(there's something innocently sweet and i'm just 17)
to all the heads in folded arms, drowning in a sea of cars
you're sinking in the shallow part
your life's just begun to start
i know sometime's it's hard to be
but if you can, take it from me
don't be scared of the things you haven't seen
you're just fucking 17

1000 Backyard Pools

other platforms

i made this over the span of a couple weeks recently when i was feeling low

Going Thru

these balconies are hardly safe
without a head to contemplate
seems chandeliers can clearly break
when crooked breathing wont awake

and i thought i knew you well
as my limbs begin to swell
with my awkward bloody knees
can't you just let me be, just let me be

stale repetition, blending in
marginal doorways getting dim
insisting chaos takes control
pretentious friendships let me go

everyone here is the same
everyone here is the same
everyone here is the same
everyone here is the same
I hardly remember their names

Weepy Hollow

lyrics:
cause every time I feel your pain
I feel the same 
I feel the same
cause every night I call your name 
some one to save from today 
don't expect me to call you babe
nothing to say 
nothing to say
every time I see your face 
I feel ashamed 
I feel ashamed

they say love aint easy for a guy like me
but I still try to any one who can see

(woah)

cause every time I feel your pain
I feel the same 
I feel the same
cause every night I call your name 
some one to save from today 
don't expect me to call you babe
nothing to say 
nothing to say
every time I see your face 
I feel ashamed 
I feel ashamed

they say love aint easy for a guy like me
but I still try to any one who can see

(woah)
