do you ever just fall asleep
and wonder when’s the next time we’ll meet?
do you ever just fall asleep and dream?
do you wanna go down the street
and clear our minds out past nine-thirty?
do you wanna go down the street and breathe?
a simple memory of you
is all I need to get me through each day
to raise my self-esteem
grateful for everything, and anything.

been starting a new life that’s fake
every time i’ve tried to fix my mistakes
empty souls know when they are empty and cold
keep ending up back of the line
masking my afflictions seemed okay at the time
it doesn’t bother me when it rains anymore
becoming myself doesn’t feel like a chore
how many more…hit’s can i take?
look at me…ignoring fatigue
look at me…gotta eat
self-growth doesn’t always mean
being alone existentially
wanna go driving in my car?
a place that’s really, really far?
me, you, and my six-string guitar
you, me, and my pretty guitar!!!
and we’re going far… (:

what would you give
to see them off
what would you give
to watch them drop
i’d like to think there is a guide
to all this mess at least we tried
every time it storms
sing a song in my head
a song in my head
like i heard what you said
when you said that we weren’t gonna happen again
but i missed what you said
thanks to the songs in my head
it’s not the path
you wanted more
just feeling pain and feeling sore
suffer some more
suffer some more
enduring trials
see what’s in store
songs in my head
the songs in my head tell me
the demons of my past are probably
better off dead

oh well
i’m well aware that you don’t owe me anything
biding, i stare while this mind resides null, vacantly
forward and fall, failures repeating
life’s quite interesting
feeling alive, and yet lethargic simultaneously
all i can ask for is a common understanding
could you come back to bed now?
pull me in
sweep me up from this strange agony
the overwhelming sound of love
i’ve run out of words to say
i know, i really can’t say it enough
but thank you anyway
i forgive you for the times that it felt like you abandoned me
but to forgive you for the lies, perhaps first i should just focus on me
BUT LOOK, IT’S HARD TO DO MY THING WHEN MY WORDS AND ACTS ARE STILL CONSTRUED AS COMING FROM A PERSON THAT STILL STRIVES TO BE JUST LIKE YOU
so maybe i won’t
maybe i will
i wish i could know...

look at them go
so special
have a heart of gold
a soul that’s becoming
whole
watch them
go
watch them go,
watch them grow,
off they go
what a sweet thing
oh aren’t you a sweet thing
someone
anyone
anything
little friend
our time was cut short
you’re in a good place
i’m sure…
things are alright
things are just fine
closing my eyes
just like old times

eyes open up and look around
pick up, connect, and scrolling down
hours pass, just lay around
and put the poison in my mouth
i’m sick…of the same old
this is what it feels like to have a weak soul
fits in with the description
textbook nightmare
holding out for something that might fix it
I’M SCARED
feels like nothing changes
nothing works
it’s manic and depressive spurts
broken mindset
isolated
EGO INCAPACITATED
everybody’s brain is fine
the lights are on for yours and mine
my confidence or lack thereof
will build, entwined with pure self-love

herd mentality
can’t you think for yourself?
you have any idea how many
times it seems like i’ve been
CHEWED UP AND SPIT RIGHT BACK OUT
COME ON
it’s like i can’t think
i can’t speak for myself
human tapestry
have a wall to yourself
always trying to be somebody
else because you never got help
but I’m just seeking mindful health…
I WANNA FEEL LIKE I DO
BELONG TO MYSELF
I WANNA FEEL LIKE I DO

sit with me, let’s sort this out
what was the first conflict about?
i’m sorry for the words i said
and everything else that i could
regret the way that we were raised
or how i was taught how to stay
it’s different when you see my face or hear my voice and i use no inflections
why am i like this?
furthermore, why can’t i accept it?
easy to misinterpret
when neither of us communicated
spoke through problems or aggravations
i’m sorry.
god.
i am not perfect, but i know i am not worthless
i wanna fall asleep again in your bed
can’t help but hear those cursed words in my head
sometimes i felt like a narcissistic freak
and my apathetic nature always got the best of me
i know you want to keep things honest
i am not honest
i’m torn… so, so torn
please
we both need some time to breathe
and perhaps things will be better
when our hearts no longer bleed
and the future will be fine
just no longer you and i
when our worlds evaporate
and our eyes no longer cry
i’m torn
i know you wanted to keep things honest
i was not honest
i’m torn
SO TORN!

you’ve gotta stop letting yourself get so upset
when your expectations are never met!!!
please.
show me the mold it seems like you wish i would fit
is it you or myself that makes me want to quit?
on a rocket moving too fast
why can’t we slow down just a second?
fight for control, like you wanna crash into the ground
this rocket’s gonna wreck if we continue to allow this constant battle
gonna have to turn this ship around
you keep talking like you wanna see me put into the ground
i’m melting
dissolving
stop, don’t let yourself get so upset
when your expectations are never met…
NO NEED TO JUSTIFY WHAT MAKES ME FEEL FREE
I’LL BE THE HUMAN THAT I REALLY, REALLY WANNA BE
MELTING
DISSOLVING
I’M

you make me feel so safe
make me feel so good
make me feel like there’s no need to bend to
what society thinks i should
and your mind, it’s oh so fine
and things are made more wholesome
when our views don’t always align
i feel so lucky too
the universe brought me you
it’s worth the wait, i know
we’ll both have time to grow
and things will always feel new
i don’t mind
wait, no really
i don’t mind
so let’s slow down and stop making things so serious
you may have found some of my actions to be curious
it’s a gamble i know
we both have feelings it shows
but i don’t mind
i don’t
no, i don’t mind
i don’t
i don’t mind if we take our time
we can take our time
walk a slow incline
don’t mind
yeah, i don’t!
