Burn

Say it isn't me, but I've always been so calloused
Try to believe in something I can't see
It started with him who I could never be
It started with promises I could never keep
It's like watching your house burn down when you always blame yourself
I'm watching you burn
Did my best but it never could be enough
You got me reeling on the nights that won't end
It started with you who it never should have been
It started with apologies I could never believe
It's like watching your house burn down when you always blame yourself
I'm watching you burn
Everywhere I go, it follows me
Every word I say comes back to haunt me
Why is time so slow?
It looked better in the mirror
Why is time so slow?

How it Feels
03:44

I fell asleep once and woke up as someone else
I'm dying to be...
In a moment
Living for dreams, what if I'm wrong?
But you wouldn't understand just how it feels to be me
My story's been told, it's standing in front of me
A boy with a mirror and no reflection
Working for something good
Maybe it'll be worth it
Cheap cigarettes and the thought of it
I'm losing myself for reasons unclear
But I can't quite explain just how it feels to be me
To be me

So far away, but you try your best to be further (from me)
You could be anybody, but you choose to be you
I'm over it
Can I come over?
Over her shoulder, they always stop and stare
They're watching, she's watching, too
With a heart so cold, I still want her so
But could this really be what's good for me?
You could be anybody, but you choose to be you
I'm over it
Can I come over?

Lying on the floor, it's raining outside
Optimism brought me here again
You wanna wake up anywhere else
But someone makes you stay
I'm thinking of a girl I kissed in the park
She is some place else
Living in a city where no one sleeps
Some place I am not
But I don't need you to call
I want you to call
Standing in a room I have no face
Where do all roads go?
Another what if and I'm smoking again
Staring at nothing
I'm staring at nothing
But I don't need you to call
I want you to call
I don't need you to call me
I wish you would call
Well I didn't want this song to be about you
But I'm learning
And I'm hoping
Why am I hoping for you?

Curse of the Hips

Yeah, I, never wanted it to be so easy
And I, I never wanted just to be your friend
So I, I smoke another cigarette it's late
Cause it's the long-haired girl, dark-haired girl, she's got me chasing my own tail
It's the Curse of the Hips that got me so crazy
Yeah she, she never met such a fool like me
Oh yeah, she's licking her lips, she wants to play
So I, I breathe another sigh, it's gonna be a good night
Cause it's the long-haired girl, dark-haired girl, she's got me chasing my own tail
It's the Curse of the Hips that got me so crazy
So I, I'm blinking again, it's another daydream
She's beautiful, but she's not my baby

Falling

Shut my mouth because she talks too much
I'm kicking myself, I don't say enough
Fickle-hearted, she's looking away
But it's too late, he loves her
It's too late, he is me
I'm falling for you
I can't stand the days when she is not her
A little bit crazy, but who am I to say?
From her head to her hips, she won't leave my mind
But it's too late, he loves her
It's too late, he is me
I'm falling for you
"and then time passed"
Well I got what I wanted so why am I running?
She's right where I want her, she's not leaving
I'm sorry but I don't love you anymore...

The Quiet Room

I'm drinking alone in a room with no windows
I got wine in my bed, the walls are painted red
Nobody knows
It's getting cold outside and you're just bored
I'm drinking alone in a room with no windows
I got thoughts in my head, thoughts: I wanna be dead
Nobody knows
It's so cold outside and you're alone
You don't get to come back

Patience

Had my daddy on the telephone with my hands broken and red
He said "Good things come to those who wait"
Well I'm still waiting
I go yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm still waiting
I go no, no, no, no, I'm still waiting
Met my mommy at the diner at 5 with my head hanging low
She said "Cheer up, it's not your day"
Well I'm still waiting
I go yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm still waiting
I go no, no, no, no, I'm still waiting
Had a lady with hips in my bed and a mouth like a loaded gun
I told her I'd call her again
Well she's still waiting
I go yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, she's still waiting
I go no, no, no, no, I'm probably going to Hell

Cheap Cigarettes

Out the window, watched my life go by
My head buzzed, I didn't know how I felt
All I see is the ground
Are you sleeping alone?
Took a walk to see clearly
The smell of rain helped me breathe
All I see is the ground
Are you sleeping alone?
Everything is fine, I lied
When you just feel stuck, it's hard to breathe
And I'll be ok, someday
And I'll be ok, maybe
All I see is the ground
Are you sleeping alone?
