Wasted Nights

Crushed Out 03:11
I shouted “fuck” in the shower And banged my fists on the wall It wasn’t out of pleasure I was just thinking of you. This house is too goddamn empty Even when my friends come around. It’s felt that way since you came here Then went with a whimper of sound. Just one thing I want from you, Get the fuck out of my head. If you won’t be back anytime soon, I’ll sink deep with legs of lead. Maybe I’ll punch myself in the throat Press my hand on a hot stove. It’ll let me think about something else. Please, let me think about someone else. I’m sorry that I can’t hide these things. Should be cut up in a river, But they’re pieces of me and you. What the fuck am I supposed to do? Just one thing I want from you, Get the fuck out of my head. If you won’t be back anytime soon, I’ll sink deep with legs of lead. Just one thing I want from you, Get the fuck out of my head. If you won’t be back anytime soon, Let me cover myself in (b)re(a)d.

Subtle 02:15
a subtle taste of grapes lingering on a sunny day getting lost in old tapes falling back into my old ways remembering how to be myself latching onto everyone else i’ve told too many people i’ve kissed too many things and all too quick i’ll see their face when i fall asleep keep singing “Only in Dreams” with every single coming day i’m becoming more of a cliche remembering how to be myself latching onto everyone else i’ve told too many people i’ve kissed too many things and all too quick

Game Show 02:35
it’s too easy to just breathe there has to be a catch i’ll close the store tonight and we’ll watch that show you like there’s a game show in heaven where you always win because you get to exist and watch that show you like hell isn’t as bad as it seems because you know it’s real you feel the hooks in your skin it’s better than nothing

Oh you’re on a break? Hey that’s okay. I can probably control my feelings Since I haven’t had any in awhile 46 cents a piece? That seems pretty cheap. Black lungs aren’t a comedown Just another form of prayer I’ll pick you up this time So we can light another Then you can put me down In this suburban oblivion I’ll pick you up this time So we can fuck each other Then you can put me down In this suburban oblivion You think that I’m weak? I’m not made of steel. I can still rip your heart to shreds Then make a cute little nest Do I look lonely? Well you’re fucking right. But if I’m with all of my friends I've never felt more alone Don’t call me a homewrecker ‘Cause that house was made of cards I’m just a gentle breeze, if anything Since you don’t see me anymore I’ll pick you up this time So we can light another Then you can put me down In this suburban oblivion I’ll pick you up this time So we can fuck each other Then you can put me down In this suburban oblivion

When you said you're skipping town I thought you might be joking around Gave you a mix of washed up hits to try and pick myself off the ground Watched volume two of Thundercats while thinking 'bout how you might react Sent stupid selfies on the phone to try and make me feel less alone I wanna smoke pot with Carl Sagan And stare up at the stars Come on, don't leave me hangin' We've already come this far Friends picked me up cruised around, I saw you in the lights and the sounds Michael McDonald was so cute, but he could hit that falsetto too Goddamn sometimes I can't believe, “what a fool” I've been for your schemes These cookies pair well with boxed wine, but probably would be better with you Lying on the grass the sun is sinking fast Thoughts are swirling ‘round in a tie-dye haze of milk and doubt I want to hit the bullseye, but I can't even find a dart Love is such a joke, but I'll laugh until I'm in the ground I wanna smoke pot with Carl Sagan And stare up at the stars Come on, don't leave me hangin' We've already come this far

Old calendars from years past Still hang in my room Telling me of the past times, The good, the bad, and the true When I look at you I wistfully hope That I see my own future; our future. And see the pain in your history Written in the lines of your face But the roaring cacophony inside my mind Dies down to a murmur of clarity When i look in your eyes. Even though I know it's all wrong. Are we both so lonely, so distant That if I were to brush the back of my hand Gently against your face Neither of us would feel it? I put on a charade of energy each day Like a clown puts on his makeup: With a deep sigh and a master hand, Which grows shakier each coming night. I am a hollow boy. Like a tree rotting from the inside out, But still clinging tenaciously to life. Stretching ever upward towards the sun. You are my sun.

You kissed me the other night When I was holding you close Did that mean anything to you? In the moment it did to me (the) Way you bit my arm was cute Liked the way you giggled into me But I’m too fucked up to do this It’s too soon to see someone new I know you don’t want to start Another thing that could just fall apart I’d really love to hold you again but For now that was nice, maybe later Walked around the house all night Taste of your lips lingered there Moon was reflecting on the ice Reminded me a lot of your eyes Then my mind ran back to her Who held me for the past two years It’s not right while she’s still there Living in my memories I know you don’t want to start Another thing that could just fall apart I’d really love to hold you again but For now that was nice, maybe later

Won’t you see me my dear? Down by where the creek meets the woods Won’t you stay here my dear? And walk with me on the pier It’s not the same is it beaux? It’s a softer shade of azul It all seems sane with you boo Let the water show us the truth I never lead you astray Only called your name in vain I should have held you so tight Instead of wasting away my nights We were a soft summer haze Catching fireflies in a daze Now with our feet in the sand I’m so glad to hold your hand Are you okay darling? It’s the sun making your skin sting What do you see baby? These days are making me lazy Aren’t you so sweet honey? I’ll give you all of my money Are you leaving bunny? Just take me to where it’s sunny I never lead you astray Only called your name in vain I should have held you so tight Instead of wasting away my nights We were a soft summer haze Catching fireflies in a daze Now with our feet in the sand I’m so glad to hold your hand

I don't need your kisses To tell me what this is Been doing fine alone 'Til we talked on the phone You taste so familiar I can't help but wonder How did we get here? Isn't it so clear? Girl, let's get this together Boy, let's not say forever I say "What are we?" And you say, "It's complicated” Hung you up on my wall But you stayed dangling there Whispering soft hellos Writing your stupid prose (I’m) clawing at my skin But your words are etched in Bleed you until I'm dry Let's give this one more try Girl, let's get this together Boy, let's not say forever I say "What are we?" And you say, "It's complicated" There are times when I only want you Then again, I have no fucking clue You are the shadow that stands in my room I am the headstone next to your old tomb Girl, let's get this together Boy, let's not say forever I say "What are we?" And you say, "It's complicated"

You always believed in me I never believed in you Come out to the coast to see Where we'll let our dreams be free Burns through my skin Like southern Cali sun Turn through my mind All I can do is run My mind lies through gritted teeth Plastered on smile is chipping Numbness is not a state of mind But the way to self maturity Burns through my skin Like cold New england winter Fall through my mind All I can do is hide (I think I'm coming down) Please believe me (I think I'm coming down) Please don't hurt me (I think I'm coming down) Please forgive me (I think I'm coming down) Your love was all too pure

Ice we skate is pretty thin But I try to let you in Fog rolls in across the lake Am I making a mistake? Candy wrapper on the floor Visions of you at the door Anxiety comes in waves At the end of every day December mornings Came without warning The ice is melting Where am I going? My pal lied down, fell asleep He wasn’t feeling serene Took a dozen little pills Dust gathers on windowsills Things are heavy, things are fake But I float, I hold no weight I tear my heart into shreds Give it to all of my friends December mornings Came without warning The ice is melting Where am I going? I love them Everyone Numb heartbeats I can’t speak December mornings Came without warning The ice is melting Where am I going?
