I'm driving on the interstate
And I'm running out of gas
We're speeding up consistently
We'll still be late for class
I'm crazy you can't drive
On one brief hour of sleep
Silently I'm waiting
For the end to come to me
You look so happy
When you're with me

Eggshells

Getting closer every day to my final destination
And I'm out of things to say, another wordless conversation
But these people will never see these thoughts that flow through my head
And they'll never understand when I say,
"Today, I'd rather I be dead."
And I'm so tired of saying sorry
I'm having trouble finding out what I'm even sorry for
You'll try to ask, but I don't know
I say I'm sorry for your pain, but that won't make it go away
I say I'm sorry because I love you, but I'm insane
I say I'm sorry and I love you, but you think that I'm insane
She says I'm crazy! Well maybe I am!
I don't know, but I'm not acting!
No one can save me!
Arms are tired! Reaching out!
It's so hard, so I never bother asking
And I could word things so poetic, exactly as you like
Here I'm running out of steam
Out of steam and out of time
Have you tried waking up? It's harder getting out of bed
But not as hard as dealing with all of those truthful things you said

I hate myself and I don't know why
It's a case you won't understand
I can't explain
I'll be gone before you know
I feel sympathetic eyes on me
Feel my loneliness stolen from me
Carry on
I'm just a poorish boy for sale
Give me shelter in your closured home
By sunrise you'll see I'm gone

I thought about it again
but I'm not really prepared to just talk it out
Was it something I said?
I don't care to know, I just walk it off
Missing all my friends
They call it growing up, I call it moving on
It was something I said
I didn't really know, so I walk it off
What're you banking on this time?
Don't come running,
There's no chance of coming back now
While your jaw is falling off
Make no mistakes,
I don't feel sorry for your problem
Make the same mistakes, call it another day
I might never change, so don't wait it out
Picking up our clothes off of the floor
She's never coming back, I can't walk it off

This Feeling in my Chest
02:45
|

You never left the back of my brain
Growing like a weed in the garden of my inner brain
And you make me remember
That this feeling inside of my chest never died
It's getting harder to sleep while you're still on my mind
Blocking memories and traumatizing words that you said
It's so comforting! A kakistocracy!
And after all this time I find it hard to believe
that I'm still on your mind
And your Richard Dawkins book is resting in your hands
And I'm amazed that you kept all those memories
The lyric sheet! The music box! The bear that I gave you!
Stumbling on words I never understood
Taking the time to thank those who wear
Their hearts on their sleeves like a soldier in battle
Have you had much sleep? Take a drag from your bottle
Do you miss me yet? Or do you miss this affection?
Your cough syrups run out, all that's left is withdrawal!
I felt insane, but now I'm growing up
Making friends that were once enemies
And enemies that were once friends
Count my blessings we don't even reside in the same state
And as a matter of fact, I was thinking of moving again
And I miss the way I felt, but I don't miss you

Pick me up when I've fallen to the floor
I can smell your cherry cough drops in the hall
As you're waiting by the door
Who could ask for more?
Who could ask for more of anything?
Centuries have passed and you haven't aged a day
You should recall what I last said
I don't remember who I called last night
But my inbox is full, and it's full of
Angry messages
Word got around. I could say,
But I don't know
Telling the whole town! You asked me,
But I don't know!
Pick me up when I have fallen to the floor
I can smell your cherry cough drops
But you weren't at the door
Like a toddler learning how and why
all these social cues and actions
never follow in my line

Hey there, how do you feel today?
Mom and dad had another fight again
I know you're sad
And honestly it makes me mad
flash your pretty smile here my way
Here comes autumn, winter, spring
When it's colder, which blanket should I bring?
Ohh come on closer
Your eyes keep on singing
Whispering my name
Ohh let me help you
No one else would bother
But I'm not the same
Summer evening on the porch
June rain is short but brings out all the life
See the children catching on
Please don't break my heart,
I can't forget what you've said

Stuck inside my head
I'm feeling down
Writing down my thoughts
so that my feet stay on the ground
Living day to day
the morning light seems dull
Up all night
I'm wide awake
Sixteen years is way too long to be depressed
Sleep til noon and find no reasons to get dressed
Sixteen years, sixteen lonely lonely years
No one asked what laid the basis for my fears
And it helps, but you've gotta be willing to try
I'm glad I have insurance
'Cause I need someone to talk to
Therapy helps! But you've gotta be willing to try
And days go by, I wonder when am I to die?

Song for Diesel

He won't go far
As long as someone stays
to watch your car
'Cause his leg is gone
He's learned his lesson
And he shows his love
by standing on your heart
He's old enough
Been through enough
And he waits for me at home
Now it's alright
Because of you
I run myself in circles
chasing you
The things you do
to keep me on my toes
it's something new
And it's true
'Cause every night you take up half my bed
