we fight ourselves
we lose when we win
your problems pale in comparison
to what i'm dragging around
time & time again
i ditch my friends
they know what i'm going through
i wish that i knew too
there are buzzards overhead
self-important shell of
someone else
designs my hell
what if i don't want to get well?

nevering
02:14
|

i wear your clothes
it doesn't bring you back
i drive your car
it doesn't bring you back
i try to look all right now
but i could never act
i talk to you
but you never talk back
i quit my job
it didn't bring me back
stopped smoking too
but i just bought a pack
i'd like to die
to see if it's like that
because not knowing where you are
makes me sad

prom night
02:40
|
|||
i have birthday cards from relatives
who are dead now floating somewhere with one another
i have pictures with my ex-girlfriend
i don't know why i keep them if i don't love her
but i put them all in a shoebox under my bed
at night sometimes i dream i open it
i have check stubs from last summer's job
& i still want to call my boss & start screaming
i have that shirt you bought for me
i only wear it when i'm lonely & i'm lonely when i breathe
& i'm still breathing
now it's prom night again
like it was when we went two years ago
i want to smile & walk you in & take your hands
& we can dance until it snows
i can tell you how it's been: it's been so hard
i lost my mind, i lost my soul
i'm sorry for my sins: i was a kid
i never meant to act so old

die in the moonlight
03:02
|

there, there: we're alive now yet
"but i don't want it," she says
i want this thing out of my chest
i'll leave it on the sidewalk
i'll crawl till i can't
i'll crawl till my knees are bloody red
leave the vultures the rest
but it's only my skin & my bones & regrets
(i gave you the best)
let's leave this liar's bed
"but i don't want to," i said
let's rip this thing out of my chest
(and i hardly knew it)
i've been waiting to feel
got a pocket full of some pills
maybe there's something inside
to help me
die
die
die
die

kayla

everyone has problems
& they're all worse than mine
but sometimes i hurt so bad
i hurt so bad sometimes
my clothes are haunted
by my rattling bones
i feel like smoke through a keyhole
formless & alone
kiss me kayla
kill me closer
kiss me kayla
& wait for the rest of me to show up
i killed a bird today
then i pulled over & cried
we're too immune to circumstance
we're too afraid to die
i don't think i'll shave
because i'm not leaving the house
they hid my razors anyway
but i could figure something out
kiss me kayla
kill me closer
kiss me kayla
& wait for the rest of me to show up
