My Gift to the Stars
05:34
|
|
||
|
I feel like I should give you back
to the stars I found you in.
No use for holding onto them..
I sleep fine at night without
the light sneaking in
and holding the shadows down.
I've been holding onto something,
but it's time to let it go.
I feel like I should give you back
to the stars you're made of.
I can finally let it go.
You were a gift from those stars
that time tangled up
in threads of fate and luck.
My fortune don't walk alone and I haven't been
since you walked into my life.
I think the stars put you here with me
to try to convince me to stay here
longer that I wanted to be
You've been holding onto something,
but it's time to let it go.
Our love is too perfect to hold.
They don't have to understand
Our love is too perfect to own.
They don't have to understand.
We've been holding onto something,
but it's time to let it go.

Stuck at the Bottom

I don't hear that much at all
sneaking in to the house through these walls.
I won't make it out tonight.
I'm sorry, but I'm locking up these doors.
I wake up in the middle of the night
drowning in my bed and I can't swim to save my life.
Sometimes I feel like I'm under water
And I can't see the light dancing on the waves.
But I'm too deep, I just can't reach.
So here I am sinking to the bottom.
You can't feel how cold it is
looking out the window from inside your house.
My bones still shake and my soul still aches.
Here in this cold, I don't think I can escape.
I wake up in the middle of the night
My chest is on fire and I can't breathe to save my life.
Sometimes I feel like my hearts on fire.
It's like I'm burning alive.
So I blame it on my anemic heart.
So I'll burn to the bottom..
I'm sorry for bailing.. I'm sorry for blowing you off.
I just didn't wanna leave my house.
And I still feel like I'm under water,
but every now and then I get to the surface.
Sometimes I feel like I'm fucking on fire
and I just can't help it.
Sometimes I feel like I just can't leave my house.
And some days I don't want to.
So I'm stuck at the bottom.

You always said that you would wait for me
Well, don't wait for me.
I wouldn't change a goddamn thing.
I'm happier now than I've ever been..
So let it go.. I'm not holding on to anything.
You always said that you'd hold on to me.
Don't hold on to me.
I wouldn't change anything..
Back then we can just always be..
I'm not holding on to anything.
We grew apart when we grew close
Holding on to broken hearts
We grew apart when we grew close.
Holding on to what we've lost.
You slipped a note under my door
And I guess I'm addicted to nostalgia
because I fucking kept it.
You had Great Expectations,
That might have been
the first time you were honest.
You always said you needed me.
You always said you still needed me,
But I don't need anything.
I wouldn't fucking change anything..
the good or bad that happened..
I'm not holding on to anything.
We grew apart when we grew close
Holding on to broken hearts
We grew apart when we grew close.
Holding on to what we've lost.
We grew apart..
You were my Moon Face.
you were mine. I was yours.
But now it's gone.

I have a hard time sitting still
There are always songs inside
my head I feel like writing.
I'm always tapping on the table.
I'm always looking for the melody
in the world around me.
I've been trapped inside the cold
It can't write itself out of my soul.
I have a hard time waking up
And an even harder time falling asleep.
There are always thoughts inside my head that are
fucking haunting and they keep me looking through
the world around me.. in the world around me..
I fucking fall apart.. I don't feel anything at all.
I've been trapped inside the cold
It can't write itself out of my soul.

You've been giving me the creeps
It's like every time I talk,
where I end, you begin.
Always heard through paper walls.
It's like I only hear screaming
when you talk.
You've been getting in my head
Quick to moments that I'd forget
You've been crawling under my skin
Poking out so deep from within.
I don't mind,
but I don't have the time for this tonight.
You've been haunting me all night
Rumbling through my brain when it's dark.
You keep calling me so fuck this phone
Don't leave a message because I ain't home.
No, I don't wanna hang
I've got better company when I'm alone.
I tried being nice, but it never works.
You double down on hints, in solid force.
I don't mind,
but I don't have the time for this tonight.
You've been giving me the creeps
It's like every time I talk,
where I end, you begin.
Always heard through paper walls.
It's like I only hear screaming
when you talk.
You're still getting under my skin.
Voiceless hopes, like you could hook me in.
Silence cracks the sounds off my phone
Like I've said a million times..
Leave me alone.
I don't mind,
but I don't have the time for this tonight.

Someday

All of the hardest days in my life
are behind me.
I'm not going back for nothing.
I'd rather live each day out until the last.
I'm not living, hardly surviving
in this fucked up world we're all living in.
And I'm trying my fucking hardest.
Goddamnit, I hope that's all enough.
I still feel the weight of the world some days.
Fuck, I don't feel like waking up at all some days.
Someday.. I wanna wake up and feel alright.
Wake up exhausted, I'm always tired
Hijacked to go ahead.
I'm always anxious, I'm always nervous.
My hands keep shaking.
My brain's invaded, my soul's been branded.
My tongue's been cut straight out.
And I keep trying my goddamn best.
That's all I ever had in this.
And I hope tomorrow will be different.
I hope then we all feel like we're living.
Someday.. I wanna wake up and feel alright.

I watch the world end from my bedroom window
I let the stars sparkle out and let the moonlight in.
It's been a long time now since I felt at peace..
And since I felt at home in my own skin.
And the world, it keeps on spinning..
And the world, it keeps on spinning right around.
I still feel like I am waiting for the world to end.
Every day just feels the same
Nothing makes me feel alive at all.
Everything seems old,
And I'm getting older, too.
It's been hard to stay the same
while the whole world changes
I put all my faith on being faithless.
And the world, it keeps on spinning..
And the world, it keeps on spinning right around.
I still feel like I am waiting for the world to end.
I'm crashing and burning, but nothing's turning around.
I guess I thought that was the point.
It should be better now, but nothing feels better now.
I have to try to feel okay. I have to try to feel alright.
I still feel like I am waiting for the world to end.

I've been counting down the days
until we don't have to speak again.
I can't wait to move away.
I can't believe we were ever friends.
And it's a shame..
Let's count it as time we both wasted
and never repeat it.
I could pack up fucking everything I own
Put it in the car and go..
I've known who you were all along
I saw it first at the party where
you scolded your girlfriend for speaking.
And you wonder why we think you're a dick.
And you wonder why your friends keep leaving.
Favors don't mean anything
when you're only nice for recognition.
And it's a shame that we were ever friends.
Let's count it as time we both wasted
and never repeat it.
I could pack up fucking everything I own
Put it in the car and go..
I'm not signing fucking anything.
Except the terms and conditions
of the end of our friendship.
I underestimated you, but never enough.
And I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.
You build yourself up by tearing everyone else down
You feed off their self-esteem and their pizza crust.
I could pack up fucking everything I own
Put it in the car and go..
I'm not signing fucking anything..

The Year I Lost My Mind
03:22

Her memory carried loosely,
Didn't make it to the mark.
Fell from her hand a few steps back
What did I come here for?
Oh, now I remember.. A change of scenery.
Oh, now I remember.. She came for me
An opal orange dagger
cuts the clouds of milky white.
I conceded in my head while driving
that this was not my night.
Oh, but I was so wrong
And I knew it was so.
I saw the plywood crosses
along the side of the road.
Civil war is brewing in my head
and on the lawns.
I hear whispers through the picket fence.
I think my neighbor is building bombs.
I lay awake in bed
Clothespins on my eyes
The planes above my head
are falling from the skies.

I'm not lonely. I've got neighbors
and I've got friends to call.
I still feel empty
And the message was on the wall.
Is this disconsolate?
Because holding on..
Holding on ain't living at all.
I don't know why I feel like I'm drowning
We're lost at sea.
She sang songs
as she paints my hero to my arm
while I sang soft.
Hanging in the van with my friends.
We got home just in time
to see the world fucking end.
I don't know why I feel like I'm drowning
We're lost at sea.
You're old enough to know
You're old enough by now to realize
the things you should have learned in school
But, they are all shut down.
Everything is different
These days just creep.
Everything is different.
This is life on repeat.

I first heard Jason when he was singing a song
It could've been Siouxsie Sioux, Mineral, or Bob Dylan
He was singing about people asking him
"Do you believe in a god?"
He said, "I only believe in The Clash".
It's pretty rare to meet someone who shares beliefs.
It's pretty rare for me to find somewhere to be.
It's could've been Husker Du,
It could've been Minor Threat.
It could've been Jason Ray throwing hearts
into the wet cement.
This world ain't getting any easier to live in.
That's why I'm amazed I have any friends at all..
Through all of these moments between cigarettes,
I smoked this one right down to the filter.
Around this talking about nothing else..
Like a whisper in my bones.
A song needs.. And a writer needs a page.
So don't make these hearts wait.
This world ain't getting any easier to live in.
That's why I'm amazed I have any friends at all..
This world ain't getting any easier to live in..

All Honesty Aside
04:56

People keep asking me if I'm alright
with how it all came to an end.
Well, the truth is if I don't love you now
Then I couldn't have loved you then.
All honesty aside, I don't care about your feelings.
Love is nothing that I've ever felt and still feel now.
I can still see you fighting with the mirror in our room
Clenched fists gripping pills
hoping sleep can cure what time can't kill
I don't know if I loved you,
but I know I tried so fucking hard to.
I guess I was easy lying to,
but that's fine because I'm better off without you.
I can't get away..
And those city streets where we met
We were both different people way back then.
Now I feel like they're both dead.
But the truth is I don't hate you.
We were only meant to have met for it to end.
All honesty aside, I don't care about your feelings.
Love is nothing that I've ever felt and still feel now.
Like most things, only in your darkest moments..
Do you hope it's real..
I remember when we met at the swing set
I remember our days in the city
I remember when you pleaded with me to stay.
I remember how I'd live to regret it.
Let's leave the past in the past
We didn't care enough to not fuck it up.
All honesty aside, I don't care about your feelings.
Love is nothing that I've ever felt and still feel now.

I'm Not Going Home Yet
06:03

When I was young I used to get so mad
I'd pretend no one else in the world even existed.
So I could be alone.
And in the car I'd slump down real low
to soak up the silence
I won't waste my breath on you.
I didn't smell the rain until it was already pouring down.
I didn't feel the rain until it was already on the ground.
I can't wait for this night to end.
But I'm not going home just yet.
When I was young I used to get so mad.
I'd lash out, I wasn't fun to be around.
I'd go for walks to cure the pain in my heart
And I'd get lost along the darkest roads
after jumping out of a car
I never held onto anything at all..
I didn't smell the rain until it was already pouring down.
I didn't feel the rain until it was already on the ground.
I can't wait for this night to end.
But I'm not going home just yet.
When I was young I could get lost inside my room.
Listening to albums stuck on my bed.
I can't get up because my limbs will not move.
Not lack of strength, just the effects of darvocet.
I couldn't feel the rain..
I can't wait for this night to end.
But I'm not going home just yet.
I'm not going home..
I can't go back.. I can't go back..
I'll run away.. and I will never go home.
