Washed Out 04:13
I feel washed out of your hair, I feel left out of your stare. I would choke before I drank, To all of his accomplishments. You said that we should hang out, but you never hit me back. You opened everything I sent, but I promise it wasn’t like that. I don’t see you anymore, I’m starting to feel like a chore. Constantly drained by the high, Relying on your alibis. You said that we should hang out, but you never hit me back. You opened everything I sent, but I promise it wasn’t like that. We walked down the hallway where you told me the time your sister found you there and took you to the hospital. They would talk about anything just to waste their time. It’s got me mad, I wanted to chance to get in your mind, to just be your friend. It’s not like I didn’t think of everything I could say before you spoke to me. You said that we should hang out, but you never hit me back. You opened everything I sent, but I promise it wasn’t like that. We walked down the hallway where you told me the time your sister found you there and took you to the hospital.

he’d walk towards me, then walk right by. i used to think he was the egotistical type until the first time i saw his father wasted in his spite, and i think that was the moment i realized. did you ever think of me, you know, in the winter time, the street, the snow. he said, “for all it’s worth, i might as well be dead”. my god oxy, you shouldn’t want that. he told me that his dad, might break all of his bones. i’m praying, oxy, please get out of your home. please get out of your home, oh. i miss the times when we were children. we were young and couldn’t piece together any of this. i mean how is that fair? he’s not the answer to your anger, you can turn back to your drinking to pull it together. at what point did it become okay to treat your kids like they don’t mean a thing? he said, “for all it’s worth, i might as well be dead”. my god oxy, you shouldn’t want that. he told me that his dad, might break all of his bones. i’m praying, oxy, please get out of your home. please get out of your home, oh. everything that he had meant to say, it came from his wrist and down the drain. it’s the loneliest he’s ever been, in the darker days he found ahead. he said, “for all it’s worth, i might as well be dead”. my god oxy, you shouldn’t want that. he told me that his dad, might break all of his bones. i’m praying, oxy, please get out of your home.

On the Spot 03:25
head’s up! you’re on your couch i’m in my bedroom, half-torn between my fretboard and the thought of you wasting away my only days of free time. you like to put me on the spot! come on! i know you know it’s temporary, as if i’d wanna deal with your mood daily. trying to make yourself seem like a big boy, you like to put me on the spot! you like to put me on the spot! you like to put me on the spot! how many times i gotta choke up before you realize you’re not what i want? walked past me while your collar covered your mouth that day was quiet, it was really nice out my friends had came just as i got off work now, you like to put me on the spot! you like to put me on the spot! you like to put me on the spot! how many times i gotta choke up before you realize you’re not what i want?

not happy, not crying, i’m somewhere in between i'm scared to admit it, ’cause i don't wanna lose him and i, and i i'm done chasing after stupid dreams that i can never achieve i'm done giving my everything, i gotta stop expecting things who told you to drive here at 1:30 in the morning how come you just pulled through, when no one really does that for me and i, and i i'm done chasing after stupid dreams that i can never achieve i'm done giving my everything, i gotta stop expecting things i can't control myself, stuck on all the words you said i can't control myself, breaking all our promises i cannot help myself, digging all these holes again sadness is just a trend, so if i cried it'd mean nothing and i, and i i'm done chasing after stupid dreams that i can never achieve i'm done giving my everything, i gotta stop expecting things i'm done giving my everything, i gotta stop expecting things i'm done giving my everything, i gotta stop expecting things

popcorn, cigarettes felt you down, no regrets love you still, holding back with patience and a heart attack your breath on my neck almost can’t stomach it fantasize ‘bout what’s next i’m hanging off the things you said oh, ooh oh, ooh rightfully filled with doubt kissed you there, on the mouth taking a while to come out it’s getting even harder now you will not come around i was up in the clouds pulled right out without a sound never thought you’d bring me down oh, ooh oh, ooh
10.
here we go again, i caught on fire and i cannot pretend, that i’m not engulfed in all the friday friends, the kids with wills i’ll never bend every time we met, down at the crosswalk i prayed for it to end, for all the time i spent, and every text i sent, i faked my plans every weekend so are you proud of me now are you proud of me now, when it’s too late to say i’m sorry if ignorance is bliss, i wish you the happiest life that you can live, as for me i will be fine waiting to forget, that we had ever met ooh, he fell apart so fast, he made it seem like i had killed both his parents, when i broke up with him, or chopped up all his limbs, can you please get over it so are you proud of me now are you proud of me now, when it’s too late to say i’m sorry

White Moth 04:12
if my friends ever lost their edge, the floor would cave into a river dragging me to the rest of those who never felt it. if my baby kissed me harder, my heart might fail under the pressure of the tips of her fingers tracing pictures on my chest. if i put a bullet in my brain it might fill the holes in my head with something. always stepping over broken glass, chasing after the trails i had bled. drinking gasoline to pass the time, when did my family’s screaming turn into my lullaby? did you ever think these words would be mine? i never seemed like i would be the sad type. help me please, i’m too young to die. but even if i live it feels like suicide. always stepping over broken glass, do i really wanna live like that? it’s a lot to think about. instead i think of the white moth i found by the bleachers as a kid, and all the things i miss and everything i did. if i could go back then i would, solve my conflicts then i would, be more normal then i would. always stepping over broken glass, how the hell did i let it get this bad?
