Home Alone

i didn't even know the clock was ticking
i can't believe i might not see you again
i never made it clear how much you meant to me
now that's something i'm gonna have to carry
it bears no meaning
i'm a thousand miles away
i didn't feel it at first
but my shin bone
is exposed
maybe it won't hurt
if i don't look
it'll only get worse
the more i'm home
home alone
pretending i don't miss you
god i hope that i can see you soon
i got every thing i thought i wanted
i'm making money but that doesn't mean that i got this
'cause a job won't love you
don't leave your friends behind
all that i can do is keep on moving
there's no sense in ever looking behind me
if that was my life
why would i be here instead
i didn't feel it at first
but my heart is broken
but now i gotta sleep in the bed that i made
and it'll only get worse the more i'm home
home alone
pretending i don't miss you
god i hope that i can see you soon

Festering Wound
02:36
|

my head is gonna hurt
until i come to terms
with what you said to me
i never thought i'd hear
your lovely voice again
but lo and behold
here i am
you said that you missed
all the times we used to have when we were kids
i'd visit you
after you dropped out of school
and smile real big
walking home in the cold december wind
and then we
grew up
and misplaced our trust
i should've known
people don't change
and i for one
want to set fire
to this festering wound
it saturates my mind
no matter what i do
i just want a single day
where i don't think of you
what's a guy got to do
my heart is gonna hurt
until i learn
you wanna be dead to me
well i can't give you that
but i can leave you be
i've got all these years to drink away
you said that you missed all the times
we use to have before you knew
that love runs out
and you didn't know what to do
but smile really big
so i wouldn't have a clue
and it's best we stay apart
this poison runs throughout our veins
but know that i will not forget your name

Laughing At Myself
02:41
|
|||
no i'm fine
i just can't tell where i lost track of time
i better start crawling
inching closer to where i was when it died
or where i lost my mind
i'm gonna handle this
one of these days, i'm gonna stop sleeping in
'cause i can't stand to face
all of my doubts and my fears
while i'm drowning in the
thought of you laughing while i figure it out
well don't you worry 'cause i'm laughing at myself
i've been chasing my tail for weeks now
i keep coming up flat
i'll hide from you until i'm sure that i climbed back again
boy i hope i can climb back again
when i quit drinking i don't leave a bottle in the back of the fridge
so why when i open my phone do i see all your messages
i guess you're just too hard to quit
and i don't wanna admit
that after all of this time
you've still got a hold on me
but why do you think i'm doing
everything i'm doing
to come across as functional
i'm gonna handle this
one of these days, i'm gonna stop sleeping in
'cause i can't stand to face
all of my doubts and my fears
while i'm drowning in the
thought of you laughing while i figure it out
well don't you worry 'cause i'm laughing at myself

Lucky Break
04:28
|
|||
ever since i left home
i've been so gullible
i'll eat up
whatever you feed me
i'm your lucky break
whatever you say
i'll believe
as long as you can use me
you'll just grit your teeth
i've been falling down
tripping all on myself
trying to stop choking
trying to start growing
from my mistakes
i drank all your poison
said i'm done, but hey are you still coming over?
you know i'm not doing a fucking thing
i know what's going on
i'm too tired to make it stop
or maybe i just don't care
it was nice having someone there
no matter who
while you're sucking the life from me
hold my hand,
won't you please
tell me lies to help me fall asleep
won't you say you love me
whispered through your teeth
traded in my self respect
closed my eyes, said you were a friend
i cannot change you
but i can change myself
well i choose to stay the same
been wasting time on a losing game
you can find someone else to use
'cause i'm giving up on you
and growing up
ever since i left home
i've been so gullible
i don't need you
so what have i to lose
after everything why am i not over you?
it might take some time
but at least i know what i should do
