i swear to god I'm getting sick of it
i hate how it sounds when they scream in the house
so i guess ill watch the dogs fight instead
at least they know how to be friends when its over with
i leave my fingers in the wet cement
until i know how it must feel to be permanent
i sent a message for the hell of it
well i know by now that you'll never forget that shit
promise me that you'll never forget that shit
you're severing the silence with the sound
the televisions never been so loud
you're praying like its going out of style
your biggest fear of being in the ground
i think I've had enough to drink by now
& id do anything to make you smile
so why don't we just burn everything down
I'm getting kinda sick of living in this town
the seven story building where they count
how many teeth we had inside our mouth
the park we never went to cause the house
right across the street was haunted
ill leave the door wide open for a while
just in case you had a change of heart
I'm getting kinda dizzy ill lay down
until i hear the sound of my dogs bark

you're so camouflage
you're such an angel i hate how much you hurt me
its still halloween
im gonna take another shot till things get blurry
turn my bones to mush
& let my skeleton break so you can cure me
I've been fast asleep
& i dont ever wanna wake
this dream is perfect
i wanna pull it together
debris's been flying around
I've been so under the weather
i see the tornado now
& i had something to tell you
but now i can't get it out
im gonna wait till I'm better
im gonna wait till i drown
I'm such an astronaut
I'm always staring into space like someone heard me
if its halloween
how come your spirit doesn't talk ? i know you heard me
theres something in the bush
theres something that i gotta shake I'm getting worried
ill sit around & scream
until my vocal chords break
this isn't working
but this won't last for forever
somebody's gotta come down
i saw a ghost in the backyard
it kinda looked like your smile
& if nobody forgets you
then you can stay in the ground
with everything that you left her
with everything that you found
we can all pretend
were something that were really not till we feel perfect
we can all believe
in something that doesn't exist till we find purpose
until we all ascend
into a metaphoric thought beneath the surface
where our bones can rot
until they turn to mush & become

I've seen those boys around here
they don't talk much they don't move
i heard the one with the long hair is kind of a problem
he's kinda cute
well I'm so full of ideas maybe some bad ones
baby I'm bad news
he's going to be devoured of his innocence & youth
i knew that he was a coward
i knew he would never love like you
so i,
you are fear of god
you're gonna have it down like a tidal wave
you have no idea
because you're not there but you're on your way
you want it all your turning toxic
let it fight off all your demons
you want it all
you never made yourself sane
conversations with purpose
stupid ideas floating over our head
constellations in cursive
this is the greatest time that we've ever had
this is the end
that one isn't breathing i think it might be dead
it happened again
you killed another deer & let it die in the grass
eighteen hour vacation
nobody see's us from this high up above
such elevated surface
gives me ideas that can never be said
this is the end
that one isn't breathing i think it might be dead
it happened again
you killed another deer & let it die in the grass

everyones best friend
your favorite part about me's that i'm never gonna see you again
i started losing my legs
another drink will do me even better ill be buried in bed
listening to a band
that i don't even like but i sing every single word that i can
if only you gave a damn
id be twice the boy you used to know & twenty three more years of a man
i'd never do it again
i hate the sound of breaking every finger in the palm of my hand
it took a lot to pretend
that everything was better i feel better knowing that isn't dead
you really fucked with my head
the furthest thing away & yet the only thing that i ever bled
was in the color of red
it used to make a difference now its different
i feel better again
& ill never be
the one & only boy you'll ever love
let me see
how perfect you'll become when you forget about me
im sleeping slow
i dream of fires
a silent sound
& a safe desire
& ill never be
the one & only boy you'll ever love
let me see
how perfect you'll become when you forget about me

i'm scared of always being your favorite
i'm scared of always thinking I'm right
i hate the way that I've never been told I'm a champion
never been in a fight
promise me you'll stop getting older
or better yet that you'll never die
i wanna stay on the far side of town
where theres planes making noise all the time
& ill watch form the ground wide awake
till the sound of their engines make me tired
& that hole in the ground that i dug for myself isn't deep enough
so i guess that ill see, whats twenty three ?
but spilling your heart out, making a memory
the harder you'll drink, the further you'll sink
you'll take the high road, ill take eternity
im sick of always being the greatest
I'm terrified of people i like
I'm jealous of them i feel sorry again for myself
oh how nice
i wish i could be like my sisters
& take all my brothers advice
but nobodies home & my rooms growing cold
cause i open my window at night
to watch from the roof
as i search for some proof that the stars aren't satellites
& if that isn't true then I'm still twenty two
but that all changes tonight
so i guess that ill see, whats twenty three ?
but spilling your heart out, making a memory
the harder you'll drink, the further you'll sink
you'll take the high road, ill take eternity
