Heard your voice outside my room, wishin' that this was just a tomb for everything we could've been. I guess you could say that again.
Obsess, obsess and waste your time over things you can't control so you stay inside, and you try to write.
I thought I heard you knocking, but that was far too commonplace, so I'll still take you to and from work, and I'll let you scream in my face.
The thoughts run through again and again over things that you once were, things you could've been. Seems like it never ends.
Brace yourself for one hell of a fight, cause if it didn't come today, it's gonna come tonight. But you'll be alright.
And every night at like 2:30- when I should really be asleep, I'm up smoking hitters in my room, leaving all the lights on when I black out at 3.
And I thought I heard you knocking, but that was really just a dream, so I'll still take you to and from work, and I'll forget that this keeps on happening.

I can feel the pull of the waves
Draggin' me deeper everyday.
If here is what's meant, then here I will stay.
If that's what you want anyways.
Well, you watched me watch you walk away.
You asked me what's wrong and I said "Hey,
You wouldn't like it if I had said and
that's okay, but if you don't mind I'd really like to
have the subject change so 'how are you?'
'How's it goin'?' and 'How was your day?'
And man, look at the time. It's getting late"

Too Busy

I don't wanna play these games with you
'Cause either way I know we'll both lose
But, it's not up to me to choose
But you're not doin' anything.
And I've heard about these different views
About what I should just say to you
But it's not up to me to pursue
Cause we're not doin' anything.
My mind won't stop
Spinnin' round these thoughts
About what could be
If we tried
But we're too busy getting high

Ambien

I said I love you, you didn't care
No more no more no more
So I'll just take some more Ambien and
Pass out on the floor and when I wake up
Nothing will change.
I'll just be more disappointing.
More pathetic, more of a headache
More of something you didn't need.
That's okay, I guess.
There's really nothing I can do except try and get some rest
And hope that one day I'll feel better, and you will see something
in me that feels worth it.

Your eyes are in my mind
You try and find the time, again and again
It's the same old line
"I think I need to get better, but I can't stop fucking crying"
And I think I'm tired of you
But I miss you while alone in my room
But you don't wanna hear it, so I guess I won't say it
I don't know if I should've come back so soon.
It's hard to feel your love, when you don't give it up
To feel like anything, to feel like giving up.
I think I'm getting better but I just don't have the guts.

Guilt Trippin'

I think of you again
I wonder how you've been
I learned a lot from your eyes
I wish I hadn't tried so hard
I don't want to try no more
I heard your voice from the stage
I looked around and saw your face
Who are you? I'm so glad you came.
And then the lights slowly fade away.
I thought I heard your name
But it don't sound the same
I'm losing my hair, I'm losing my mind
And it got so hard to see your face
In my dreams, and so I take some
more pills to fall asleep.
Isn't that surprising?
