Angel of Boredom
02:10
|

|
As I open the door
To our apartment floor
Get the feeling that I’ve
Never been here before
When you said you would leave
I forgot how to breathe
Let the sad memories
Sing me back to sleep
And when you let it all out
On the side of the house
With your new boyfriend who
Who knows nothing about
You rub together your feet
To help you fall asleep
Reckoner on repeat
Or that you cry when you drink
Does he hold back your hair
Or hold your hand when you’re scared
Do your parents approve
Or are they even aware?

Sheets

Up all night
I need more wine
I don’t know you but it all just moved so fast
Nothing lasts
When pains your craft
Don’t wanna hurt you like the way I hurt myself
I just need some time to breathe
Time for you to get to know me
I can mess up all your sheets
I can haunt you in your dreams
Disconnect
While there’s still time left
Add another to the head post on my bed
Hold you close
But not too close
Sink into your skin like I’m a fucking ghost

Summer Sick
03:02
|

I'm so sick of the summer
I want a dark day with the clouds grey
I'm so sick of the laughter
I want a straight face with a bad taste
Tell me when, tell me when it's over
Until then you won't find me sober
Tell me when, tell me when it's over
Until then you won't find me sober
I'll be passed out on the sofa
I'm so sick of being broke as shit
I want a handout and I don't care how
I'm so sick of pretending
Every fake smile is never ending

Cutting Ties
02:16
|
|||
|
Oh when you talk about life
I get so tired
I want to go to bed
No I don’t mind if you’re a liar
It’s nice to play pretend
Hey, can we talk about something new?
Let’s talk about you
What’s on your mind, is it as fried as mine?
Wait, let’s forget what I said
That’s not what I meant
What a big surprise - I’m always cutting ties

Swarm
02:33
|
|||
|
It felt like a swarm of bees attacked me
Oh I do, I adore the ones who love to hurt me
Must be the pain sending some sort of signal
To my brain, so we repeat the cycle
Water these flowers with bleach
Cleanse me of my disease
You're so sweet my teeth are sore
I don't wanna feel that way anymore
It felt like a storm of emptiness it drenched me
Wash off the dirt from the mess that you left me
Must be insane to go through all of this
I must be a saint to put up with your shit so

Dog Eared Pages
03:27
|
|||
|
Said goodbye to my sanity - I don’t need you anymore
Stopped searching for a clarity when I turned twenty four
It took a year of numbing the pain with alcohol to get me where I should be
Now that I’m here I thought it’d be better but I’ve got a foot out the door to leave
Time moves slow when nothing changes
Problems become dog eared pages
Sleeping it off won’t erase it this time
Starve yourself of the basic needs til you crumble to the floor
Like the rug you’ve been swept beneath, you’re all beaten up and torn
Wish I could help but it’s a hard enough time for me just trying to help myself
If there’s a god well then there must be a heaven
And I guess that means this is hell

Me & My Lows
03:16
|
|||
|
Coming down from a high
Just me and my lows
I sink into the floor
No burden anymore
Just hold me down
Drown me in sound
It comes in waves
An early grave
My walls are crumbling
But at least I’ll feel something
The pain outweighs the numb
The mind becomes the gun

Friends Burn
03:41
|
|||
|
In the darkness of my mind
It seems so hard to find any sort of light
All the stars flicker and fade and the clouds start to deflate
Heavens not so far away
Now I know it hurts
To watch your friends burn
In a fire you pushed them into
So I sit and watch it burn
It was just a gasp of breath
But it scared me half to death
Heart beating out my chest
Everything was so mundane
Swarm of bees inside my brain
And the honey that they make
Just numbs the pain

Tattoo Ink
02:26
|
|||
|
You took the words from my mouth
Now I’ve got nothing to say
Then again it’s probably better off
No need to complicate
You were the air in my lungs
To my sure I don’t deflate
Now I’m high in all the right ways
If you wear your heart on your sleeve
Then it’s destined to get scratched
So you cover it up with tattoo ink
And say you’ll never go back
Our love was just a slow dance
To the sound of a car crash
Like a cannonball without a splash
A cold December it’d be without you here with me
Now I can feel the summer heat

Dreams
03:20
|

|
Can I be alone now?
It’s been a long day
If my wounds are shown now
I’m on the next train
Did I take my time?
Did I even try?
All I needs a piece of mind
Maybe in my dreams I’ll find
Could you be a friend now?
I know I’ve been strange
Wish I could explain how
But I’m stuck in my ways
Did I take my time?
(Only one way to know)
Did I even try?
(The fastest way to go)
All I needs a piece of mind
(Sends shivers to my bones)
Maybe in my dreams I’ll find
