Maybe I'll sleep with a thousand men and when you decide to call me years from now I'll tell you about everyone about Neil, David, and three other Evans but James was the best the way he'd put his hand on my back and slide the other into my hair and when we were finished leave me trembling face down in the sheets finding my breath then we'd sleep silent in the mess we made two extinguished cigarettes in a lonely ashtray

I don't want a girl who wants to kiss all the boys I don't want a girl who dies for everything I don't want a baby black widow I don't want a girl button-down cookie cutter the kindest thing I can do is discard unlike the rest the kindest thing that I can do is see who she is to look at her once then cut her loose say, "Attention isn't what you need" there's no company here only hollow men but that's not why we came fevered palms and sickly waves common closeness is uncommonly cruel these days

For Mom 02:02
Family vacation circa 2001 that's when all of this got started that's when you stopped having fun I couldn't love you more than the things you hoard I couldn't love you more than those things I'm constantly fearful of leaving you tearful and now a days you don't try I think it's safe to say that we've cut ties I think it's safe to say we don't see eye to eye I'm constantly fearful of leaving you tearful still I've never been to the Grand Canyon forever climbing up a Blood Mountain

I get so caught up sometimes I forget what I'm talking about no the words that come out of my mouth they belong to someone else not me cuz it's not that I don't think you're lovely it's that I want you to be happy and I know I can't make you happy what we want's not the same but I think that's okay what we want's not the same but it's okay well I always get so caught up in doing the wrong thing it's a bad habit that I can't break I just can't make it escape me what we want's not the same but I think that's okay what we want's not the same but it's okay

Certain Doom 02:49
A pedestal sits between leaving blind spots and breaks unseen but baby that's just not me that pedestal always follows haunting me as I try to go chains I never chose let me in and I'll gain your trust but that pedestal is blinding and you're no must cuz my heart and brain don't intermingle and I'm pretty sure I'm meant to be single that pedestal- it protects me things fall apart old feelings lingering leaving you with your broken heart

Drinking from a cup made out of lead I'm feeling like I'm better off dead or alone drunk at home or stoned lying in my bed blaming my apathy on things like the weather so I try to occupy my time by doing things I know that I like like keeping you close to me I know it's wrong but it's comforting I wake up early just to do nothing plan out my day to accomplish nothing stay up all night just doing nothing I've had the time of my life while I've been doing nothing resistant to all and you're set in your ways you think what you want and blame it on your age
7.
We fight back and forth but I agree you need therapy and that Rachel's right you're too smart to ever be happy but with so much to learn and countless things to try I'm sure eventually you'll find something that you like cuz it's taken some time but I like where we are now and I like that you have your own car now but with so much to learn and countless things to try I'm sure eventually you'll find something that you like

Blood Hammer 01:50
My body's cold and I feel tired I want to be alone so I want to be with you can I go home with you to just lay in your bed? can I go home with you just to hold your hand? I don't keep to myself very well In a single size with bloodshot eyes falling asleep losing my mind

Swahili 02:09
Today's the day now is the time if you ask I would reply but you're shut off so I'm stuck I'm just repeating repeating tell me something I don't know just tell me something for countless days it's been on my mind I've weighed the pros and cons at least a hundred times but you're shut off so I'm stuck and repeating cuz I enjoy the days that go by spent in the company of your kind but who's to say that things are better off this way?

Buzzbrain 02:12
When all you do is write songs you'll never have a social life when all you do is what you want you're never gonna do what's right I know it's hard to stay calm when nothing's getting done and even harder to be productive when you can't stand the cause my greatest contribution to the world will be to stay out of the way

2005 03:04
You'd been a fan of my songs since 2005 back when you sat shotgun and all I did was drive how few tattoos I had back in those days when we solely existed in that youthful haze I was naive to think that this would last now those days they're dead and long gone buried in the past and thinking back I'm surprised by how hard I had to try cuz you'd been a fan of my songs since 2005 I never knew why Now these days I don't try so hard I'm doing all the things I want when I want and thinking back I can't believe I thought that this was the end but trust me I won't make that same mistake again I was the idiot but now I'm older we both grew up and grew apart at the shoulder and I stayed in while you went outside cuz I would never give up I'd rather die trust me I won't make that same mistake again

Hell Hawk 02:05
It took two years to open my eyes and three months away from home for me to realize that these new guys you surrounded yourself with they were permanent I'm confident you don't need me I'm sure you're better off without my instability I'm through saying things that I don't mean cuz you're the best at making yourself unhappy I'm sure you'd like to pretend that we're still close friends I don't regret our relationship we can't take back the things we did I know you'd like to pretend that we're still close friends I don't regret our relationship
