This is the end of an era,
when I can look more sick than I dare to feel inside
All of this totalitaria-
nism overwhelms me shows me I should find a reason to fight
Because we can't bow down, we would break our backs
But we cannot stand without a panic attack
An era destined to end without a chance for us to survive.
Thank you, thank you, I've been here all week.
Thank you, thank you, I see you in my sleep
You pervade my dreams to see if I'm unique
But I hear your voice and don't bother to speak
Thank you, thank you, I've been here all week.
Thank you, thank you, I see you in my sleep
You start talking and I know we're done
Because a backwards love is just the start of evolution
This is the end of an era where I can question if I care about the world at large
The way the media changes shows me I need to opinionate and take up the charge
Because we can't really tell the kind of people we are
But you can pick out my generation based in private scars
An era proving that I'm alone at night and won't go far
Thank you, thank you, I've been here all week.
Thank you, thank you, I see you in my sleep
You pervade my dreams to see if I'm unique
But I hear your voice and don't bother to speak
Thank you, thank you, I've been here all week.
Thank you, thank you, I see you in my sleep
You start talking and I know we're done
Because a backwards love is just the start of evolution

Cold Eyes

Hey there cold eyes
Hows life since our last
Correspondence?
Try not to hear this,
But the looking glass claims it's you I miss
Hey there warm smile
I swear I didn't want to live this
I will be honest
Quote your lies and tattoo my wrists
When I'm cleaned up, I'll try to wipe them off
I hope against hope we haven't both gone soft
I wish that I could tell you
Exactly what went wrong
But here you are
And we still don't belong
Oh hi young eyes
You don't look so sweet this time around
I hope you don't hear this
But when the clock changed us all,
I'm the one it missed
With your creased smile
Dear god how many years have past
When'd I see you last?
Wish it wasn't photographs
We're all cleaned up to put you in the ground
I promise when they lower you,
I will not make a sound
I wish that we could ever know exactly what went wrong
But I'm still here,
And it's clear that you're gone.

Curseword 2
02:56
|

Love is a curse
Love is a curseword
a hex for late nights and high school kids
love is a first
love is a first here
and I certainly hope that it's a last
and we're all just teens who want to be kissed by someone
whether we like them or not
and we're all just myths that need to be proven false we're space rocks whose flights got too hot
I guess I'm high
I've hit a low point
I'm screwed I wrote this on my ride here
Gives me a look
daggers and songbooks
this girl's the one thing I've got to fear
and we're all just teens who want to be kissed by someone
whether we like them or not
and we're all just myths that need to be proven false we're space rocks whose flights got too hot
I'm sick of dating art hoes
they always treat my freedom like some throwaway paint
I'm sick of dating drug girls
the texts go up in smoke before I get to their place
what's the point of her intentions
pretention wins I write another line
last girl stole my plastic
if I can't find it, I'm dropping lots of dimes
and it wraps back round and tears me out until I finally sing
that we're all just teens who need to be proven false
we're liars our whole lot
we're all just myths that need a little love
romanticize my story when I'm gone
love is a curse
love is my curse
I'm screwed, I can't believe I wrote this song

Slow Regard
04:00
|
|||
It’s the slow regard of waiting for you to come back to my home
and the way you keep me on my toes cuts me to the bone
I know that I just can’t believe
the marks there on your neck
because I know that it’s been far too long
for me to have left my love outside you
and you know too
that even with the broken parts of me
as I try just to see
or believe
that there’s no mark from a boy who’s not me
to see
And it’s the slow regard of dropping dead in a house with all my friends
because the humor of my alibis lies all in how they end
I’m pop-punked out and messed up
stress eating slices in my room
writing songs that won’t be heard
and pizza box poems too
my emotions stew
and even with the broken parts of me
as I try just to see
or believe
that there’s no mark from a boy who’s not me
to see
And it's waking up one morning
Seeing how far I've moved on
Understanding that one of these days,
you'll post a pic with lyrics to my song
I hope it's a good selfie,
cause it's the last one that I'll see
because this slow regard is ending,
and I'll leave the watchman be

Paranoid+Parasite 4evr
03:44

I should have expected that things couldn’t go this well,
it was only a few weeks in and I was already in hell
I knew in my honesty
I wouldn’t come back to life
I never saw my paranoia as the blade of your knife
and the story goes
tear me open
let me be ripped from my core
pull out all the stitches
from those boys and girls before
because I’m not ashamed of my soul and their gore
the secrets I could’ve kept
all litter the floor
so just tear me open
and read into my core.
Please distract me, I want evidence of deceit
Nothing about my words
should come off as unique.
You’ve heard enough of me
I’ve heard enough of those before
so please oh please
won’t you leave me
dead propped up against the doors now
and the story goes
tear me open
let me be ripped from my core
pull out all the stitches
from those boys and girls before
because I’m not ashamed
of my soul and their gore
the secrets I could’ve kept
litter the floor
so just tear me open
and read into my core.
tear me open
let me be ripped from my core
pull out all the stitches
With your lies just like before
because I’m not ashamed
of my soul and their gore
the secrets I could’ve kept
litter the floor
so write a new lie down
And place it in my core

No Music
02:37
|

And there's no music when you're dead
There's just two voices in my head.
I'm deaf to all around,
No way to turn up the sound
There is no music when you're dead
You’ve got to give up everything
Please watch me burn
Put out the fire from the kitchen sink
You've got to give up everything because
And there's no music when you're dead
There's just two voices in my head.
I'm deaf to all around,
No way to turn up the sound
There is no music when you're dead
And even with these facts lodged in my skull and socks
I still discover I am nothing but moon dust and rocks.
I have accomplished nothing, this album falls apart each night when a new face steps inside
There's nothing I hate like myself
Please watch me burn
Because it's just another step closer to hell
I've earned this loathing every day because

All I Feel and See
03:50
|

Is this real
Or am I just
Sleeptalking
I've been writing so much better
When I don't know the words
A house in Scarborough
Wild eyes like the first snow
Someone made me think
This was a way love could last
A trip down to Boston
Pretty girls to get lost in
Between you and them
Oh half a year has passed
And all I feel and see
Are like amphetamines
Which could strengthen me
And all I need
Are reminders of snapshots
of his and hers hickeys
Is this real
Or am I just
Daydreaming
The time since then
Has always felt surreal
A house down in Houston
Where I am not welcome
Left me in the cold
You're not the first
A boy in a drug town
Musicality came round
Wrote my first great stories
With some old folk chords
And all I feel and see
Are like amphetamines
Which could strengthen me
And all I need
Are reminders of snapshots
of his and hers hickeys
Is this real
Or am I just
Too far gone
Senses fail,
And so do I

Legacy

Open up the scrapbook;
See the clippings of millennial times.
Understand as I add more,
there's so much more I cannot find,
there's so much more than can be defined.
Forfeit me;
breathe out my life and memories
How can I be
so egotistical, masochistically?
Swallow these,
drink the wine, and hope for better days,
and quote me
in a million years and scream my name
I've slept some places
you shouldn't hang your head.
I've been so low
I've met demon friends;
They sleep in my bed,
and whisper in my head
"They won't remember,
build a legacy they can't forget.
Forfeit me;
breathe out my life and memories
How can I be
so egotistical, masochistically?
Swallow these,
drink the wine, and hope for better days,
and quote me
in a million years and scream my name
I see the opposition;
I see it building up.
I cannot help but hope this,
this might just change my luck.
I know I'm finally falling,
I know I've got no chance.
I know I've got no legacy left to protect.
I know I'm finally falling,
I know I'm caving in.
I see there's nothing left;
I see I'm building sins.
I hope they build a castle,
I hope they finally see;
these fuckers don't know their deaths will be my legacy!
Forfeit me;
Fuck my life and memories
I'm glad to be
This egotistical, I'm fucked up, can't you see?
Swallow these,
bullets tell me what you need,
and quote these
lyrics just to scream my name
