Clenching my teeth
Now I won’t fall asleep
Try and hold back a smile
I’ve never been higher
Four hour increments
I’ll be on top of it
Out of my mind
I’m just wasting my time
Is this what normal is?
How am I supposed to feel?
Was I always like this?
Nothing feels real anymore
Don’t need to eat
I’m forgetting to sleep
When my temples are sore
Then it’s time to take more
Deadlines to meet
Ya I’ll probably just cheat
Breaking the habit
Is hard when you’re crashing
Who can I blame?
For wasting my life away
Me myself and
my self-righteous attitude
One thing that's certain
Deep down I am broken
Nothing gets fixed
The problems persist
Cocaine for kids
And it’s easy to get
But when he prescribes
All my protests aside
The doctor’s reminding me
Of all that I’d like to be
(My) GP’s my dealer
He makes me feel better

Mood Swinging

Sleeping in so late, I don’t feel great;
Why every morning
My upbringing brings me down
Got in bed too late, I don’t feel great;
My every night, I;
Make amends on open ends
Mood swinging
O’ver the swing set
Tuck your knees, let your feet fly
(Push me higher save me from myself)
Keep my head, out of the clouds
(Hands off the chains)
Left the seat empty
All I’ll ever be is someone else
It’s so much fun
Though I can’t quite find myself
Stuck on this swing
I’m losing it
Stuck in my head
I think; if I don’t try
(to) get better soon
I never will

These hollow words I’ve sold
They won’t come easier
‘Cause you can smell the truth
It hangs around (you)
Collect my feelings, store my thoughts, until I’ve disappeared
Wish I could change the way that I’ve become
Another lie what’s done is done
The way it never fails to leave
Me up at night is honestly
Why anger gets the best of me.
I’m drowning in uncertainty.

Heaviness

Waking ups not hard I; can’t get out of bed for hours
It’s just not easy now you’re gone
If only I had the strength to fight the emptiness, the heaviness inside
To not let it follow me back
down
Until you find me in the middle of the night I’ll lay there
Buried alone
You still there?
You still there?
You still there?
You still there?

The Friends Theme Song

Waste another year today; I’ve wasted another year
Letting you let me down so; I’m
letting go of you
Called your voicemail one last time
Talking to myself there’s no one else around
You’re right again; no, not again
You’re right again; you’re not my friend
Forget me
'nore me
Not there
For me
You’re right; no, not again
You’re right; I’m paper thin
Cut me
Fold me
See right
Through me
And it’s gotten harder to convince myself you really meant it
Can’t keep track of your lies they have been piling in the back of my mind
It’s gotten harder to convince myself I really need this
Can’t keep track of the lies

21 years it was everything we could have
Don’t leave me here on my own
You were my everything when there wasn’t anyone
Don’t find me, no, I’ll find you
Dig through the drawer to find a trace of you (keep you near)
Somewhere I used to call home (stay with me)
But since you’ve left us (what I found was) I can’t seem to find myself
Somewhere that (close to me) I can call home
I tried; for the first time in years
And I lied; to everyone else
Trouble is finding a new peace of mind
And I can’t
Let this die (Let you die)

Last time we talked we were younger
But I’ve learned my lesson since
I almost wanna forgive you
But I can’t even look you in the face
Say so much; You have taken everything and gone away
Till I’ve said too much; I try to tell you something but all I can say
So quietly; I promise I’m ok
Hide how I’ve been feeling; I wish you could have stayed
When I repress myself from seeing things for anything but
Paranoid delusions I’m unthinkingly holding back any
Chance I might have or hopes of changing stuck reliving everyday.
... Do I even want to change?
I’ll stay right here;
Stay right here
(I’lI stay right here) I can’t move on if there’s nowhere for me
(Stay right here) in tomorrow’s yesterday
Gotta save myself
Before my life slips away
And if there’s nothing left to hide
What do you want me to say?
Couldn’t save myself
Pull me out before it’s too late
If all my faults push me away
Why do I want them to stay?

I’m on top of me and I never want to ever leave
I’ll cut my hair, I’ll clean my room
I’m on top of me and I never want to go away
I’ll go outside and get some sun
I
Never thought I’d make it this far
No idea
That coming clean could take the part of me
That makes me go:
Ya ddada da ya da dda daa
Nothing around me right now
No, there’s no one around here, oh oh
Nothing around me right now
No, there’s no one around here at all
Nothing around me right now
No, there’s no one around here, oh oh
Nowadays I smile more
Because nothing changes at all
