Lately, I’ve been living in an empty room. With no reason to be, I’m staying in till the afternoon. Lately, I’ve been falling in and out of prescription sleeps cause I always find a way to bring myself to my knees. Everyday for the last few weeks has been a self destructive haze with Shelvey. And I’m trying to forget everything you said. But our last phone call repeats in my head. Lately I’ve been walking the streets Trying to find my way I know it’s a lot to ask for with our history But if you have an extra second could you just pick me off of my knees. Everyday for the last few weeks has been a self destructive haze with Shelvey. And I’m trying to forget everything you said. But our last phone call repeats in my head. Everyday I open the door empty space becomes so much more than just a metaphor. Everyday I open the door empty space becomes so much more than just a metaphor.

And I, had a rough summer and I began to slide. One more time. And you, had a rough summer but not compared to mine. So give me one more shot, you’re giving me a run around. I’ve been self medicating everything with cigarettes and alcohol. We could lose all that’s left for not putting the work in There’s no excuse to be right back where I’ve always been. And I, guess you’re right, it could always be worse. She only stole my heart and a couple of t-shirts. I’ve been self medicating everything with cigarettes and alcohol. We could lose what’s left for not putting the work in. There’s no excuse to be right back where I’ve always been. Where I’ve always been. Can we just start this one over again? It’s getting harder to mark this one down as a win. But I swear that I’ll never throw the towel in.

I know, I should have seen this coming from a mile away again. I know, I checked out months ago but I’d hate to see this end. We rise, we fall just forget about me. And we’ll move on. Save me, from this empty seats Used to be a full house and now it’s you and me. Save me from these empty seats Used to be a full house and now it’s you and me. Save me from these empty seats. Used to be a full house and now it’s you and me. It’s you and me. We rise, we fall just forget about me And we’ll move on.

So put the weight of this town upon my shoulders. Young and careless even though lately I’ve been feeling older. And all I can do is offer everything I got. But I’m a nervous wreck with a body full of stomach knots. It feels like the walls are closing in, at least I have something to put my back against Cause everything we had is hoping, everything we loved is broken down I want it to work this time If i could find the words to then I would be oh so honest. I’m trying just to see this through I’m dying just to get beyond this. So take your time, cause I’m a little over wasting mine Everyhing we had is hoping, everything we love is broken down. I want it to work this time If i could find the words to then I would be oh so honest. I’m trying just to see this through I’m dying just to get beyond this. I’m dying just to get beyond this. I’m dying just to get beyond this. I just wish I knew what you were thinking. I just wish I knew what you were thinking. I just wish I knew what you were thinking. I just wish I knew. I just wish I knew. If i could find the words to then I would be oh so honest. I’m trying just to see this through I’m dying just to get beyond this. If i could find the words to then I would be oh so honest. I’m trying just to see this through I’m dying just to get beyond this. I just wish I knew what you were thinking. I just wish I knew what you were thinking. I just wish I knew what you were thinking. I just wish I knew, I just wish I knew.

Morning 05:09
I’ve been getting better At running on these things like no sleep and caffeine. Staring down a half empty bottle of pills Everyone says I don’t need Except for me. And this teenaged angst is taking it’s time Cause it’s finally catching up And I’m fucking twenty five. And maybe I need some time alone To convince myself I’m more than just a ride home It’s all I’d ever known, could you just show me other wise? And I’m starving for your attention and by the looks of me that’s the only thing. The only thing and I guess. This teenaged angst is taking it’s time Cause it’s finally catching up when I’m walking home tonight Maybe you need some time alone to convince yourself what I already know Or maybe I don’t, I guess I dont And this teenaged angst is taking it’s time Cause it’s finally catching up when I’m walking home tonight You’ll say a few days is all you need Cause you miss the old me And I’ll say tonight is all I need And I’ll fake I’m happy So what your heart is broken? It’ll just take some time. Just take one single step in my shoes And tell me everything’s alright. So what your heart is broken? It’ll just take some time. Just take one single step in my shoes And tell me everything’s alright. Tell me everything’s alright.

By the way I can finally say that the walls are breaking down. And I get it’s hard to comprehend if they were to keep me in or to keep you out I guess we’ll never know. So when it all starts to break down Will I be the one who takes Shelter, or starts rebuilding I know you just, you just want the best for me. And finally I can claim to be everything you wanted from me. It was a little to late for me to make a change A little to long in the same old thing I was just hoping you’d stay. So when it all starts to break down Will I be the one who takes Shelter, or starts rebuilding I know you just, you just want the best for me. So when it all starts to break down Will I be the one who takes Shelter, or starts rebuilding I know you just, you just want the best for me. And by the way I can finally say that the walls are breaking down.

No Funeral 04:35
Funny to think that everything’s long over now and I’m all alone again Now it’s in your hands, yeah it’s in your hands I’ve been thinking of ways to tell you what I need but I can’t You wouldn’t understand, you wouldn’t understand. I never meant to make you worry it wasn’t part of the plan Here we are again, here we are again Well i’m hearing all of your advice I hope I’m wrong, I hope you’re right But just incase could stay awake with me tonight? Four am, the city’s sleeping I’m wide awake, staring at the ceiling And i’ll take this weight off my shoulders When I admit to myself that it’s over.
