Can I get through this week without a thing I regret Makes the good things I do easier to forget And I see the reflection is all covered in grime Wasn't always that way, it just got there with time And I can't be sure Of the answers To the questions I'm too scared to ask Don't want to understand My two feet were planted, My head in the sand And I came to see you in your hospital bed As I tied up your gown, you turned around and said That I care too much about you to take care of myself Can't make yourself happy how could anyone else And I can't be sure Of the answers To the questions I'm too scared to ask Don't want to understand My two feet were planted, My head in the sand And you'll travel home, down to the river That's miles off the road, and toss in the letters To you that I wrote, Theres nothing inside them That could keep me afloat If you travel this earth, and see the same problems Theres a pretty good chance, you're the one who caused them And you'll lie in your bed Wishing you were dead And I can't be sure Of the answers To the questions I'm too scared to ask Don't want to understand My two feet were planted, My head in the sand

Scabs 03:52
I'll give you a reason To stop believing "everything happens for a reason" I'm so tired of hearing that shit From friends and family All you happy people make me sick I woke up on the pavement with a crowd gathered tight over me It made me anxious, so I put my shades back on And through the shattered glass I couldn't help but laugh As you threw your helmet at the driver and threatened his family But I knew you were a good one when You turned around as they cut off my clothes in the trauma unit I passed out right about then And I dreamt of you I'll give you a reason To stop believing "everything happens for a reason" I'm so tired of hearing that shit From friends and family All you happy people make me sick I knew the pills were working Cause I thought about how pissed I'd be If I died there and I never thought of death As anything but a vacation Honestly, I know that's bad But now I live in constant fear And I'm not sure which is scariest But I knew you were a good one when You called me out for always looking miserable in bed I passed out right about then And I dreamt of you I'll give you a reason To stop believing "everything happens for a reason" I'm so tired of hearing that shit From friends and family All you happy people make me sick I guess I shouldn't be so negative But I won't sleep sound either way, cause I'm... Scared I'll ruin all your favorite songs That I sing to you

Kelly Said 03:25
All that you cared for was gold Now it is lost, or so you are told Look through the windowpane, all of the seasons change But not in a way like before Everything's grayer than it used to be Layered with dust and anxiety Particles of regret left to forget The only thing you've ever made work All that you cared for is gone Short fuse It's gonna blow Fuck you You were hard to know All of the things you held dear Faded away and now ember here Remnants of a kite, dimming and only alight For the days left in this year Kelly said you'd be hard to lose It's just something that we all feel When we have to move Kelly said that I love you It's just something that we all need To work on through Short fuse It's gonna blow Fuck you You were hard to know

Dead Space 02:20
I saw a star die in your eye It was fleeting and I wish it survived With every element burning through the dead space I told myself I believed it was behind Every color changed, I watched them replaced By silky black and delicate lace I hear you stompin', never see your face Only what we've become I've been erased Time is a blessing unless you are faced With love as a burden, or love as a game Oh it felt so right when you slept in my bed And you held my hand two weeks after the break Always chasing, never leading Forever lagging and sticking behind I wanna do something better I wanna feel better I wanna be more than fine I'll try something, something different There is only so much time Expel this taste in my mouth These shakes in my wrists Unsettling thoughts in my mind I'll be alright

Name your price, I'll match it twice I'll buy back all your love I'm scared that I have never tried harder at anything What a way to waste your day, lying in bed until dark Every floor up to your door smells more and more like you FUCK Is this everything you hoped for? Is this all you got? A fifth floor walkup and a bad rep for pushin' your luck? All that I think about is being thought about I haven't seen through my own eyes in seven fucking years I know I need sleep Is this everything you hoped for? Is this all you got? A fifth floor walkup and a bad rep for pushin' your luck? I know that love is just a game Unless you're not the one winning Feels like you pulled your weight too long You know you could have had it all All that I think about is being thought about Coming back up I get high Falling back down I get off You're pushin' your luck
