i find it pretty sad that i’m the only one you know who’d ever pick up at 2:45 in the morning
i guess it’s not intelligence
i guess that it’s not anything at all
i guess you just know me
and when it’s said and done, it doesn’t say that much about me
and the only thing that’s sad is that you won’t do it for me

i’ll say “hello, how are you”
i’ll lie and say “it’s nice to see you”
but we don’t talk that much anymore
no we don’t talk that much anymore
i could lie to your face
“i don’t feel a damn thing about you”
or is it all just an act?
is this all just for show or is it just you?
it’s always nice to think about you or at least the idea of what you used to mean to me
take a picture and preserve it in film
put it all on tape
and give yourself a memory used to be you and me
i just don’t see it like that anymore anymore

on the up
01:53
|
|||
|
i’ve been doing fine for the first time in my life
i don’t want these things to get complicated
i’ll wake up feeling ok
feel good throughout the rest of that day
then i’ll get back in the bed and i’ll just feel sick again
i guess i’m on the up up up and i don’t know how to get down again
i guess i’m on the up up up so i’ll put my arms back and go ooooooo

don’t waste your breath
i know you’re not sorry
you would never say you’re sorry if i didn’t ask you
because that’s what you think i want you to do
besides i don’t really wanna waste my breath on the social equivalent of cigarettes
i am done here
but i just want to ask you before i go
if you really hate cops that much then why are you always acting like one?
you think it’s always just the bands you like but you’re really here for something. something that i don’t like
that they don’t like
the reason we all came to the basement.
you think you’re right and you don’t belong here but all you do is spit out the things that you don’t like.
if you really hate cops that much, why are you always acting like one?

for my friends
01:22

my best friends are holograms
they’re pictures in my mind of people i can’t see all of the time
sometimes i think about you
sometimes i think you can’t think about me
sometimes i can’t think about you too
it’s like how i write you postcards
it’s like how i always forget to send them
it’s like how i always feel bad but they’re still on my nightstand
it’s just like how i always give up but i always tell you to never give up
i’m sorry that i can’t be there all the time
yeah i know i’m not a perfect friend
but i hope you know that i’m always trying my best to be there
it sucks i can’t always be there

nothing good
01:03
|
|||
|
every time i talk to you, nothing good comes out my mouth
i just want to say something poetic and nice but you could never figure it out
talking to you is like playing with a rubiks cube because every time i figure it out i fuck it up again
every time i talk to you nothing good comes out of my mouth
i just want to say something in order you’d like but it never comes out right
talking to me is like playing fucking minesweep
make a wrong move and i’ll blow up
yeah baby, make a wrong move and i’ll blow up again

friendship

tell me
what does friendship mean to you?
this isn’t hypothetical
do you feel like an instrument in your favorite song or do you feel like you just get strung along to the tune of it?
what does sense of purpose mean to you?
this isn’t a rhetorical
there’s always heartbeats but could you tell me if it’s hurt all along?
do you even notice?
tell me
what does being alone mean to you or would you rather not talk about it at all

on the roof

|
oh hey i’m on the roof
you could come up if you want to
i don’t care
we could throw a couple back and get back down
just tell me what you wanna do
because any way, i’d be happy with you
