I am ashamed to look myself in my own face and know what I am
A liar and a fucking fake I take what I want
And don't care for the consequence of anyone else
Of anyone else
I can't stand to think of what I've done
What I've done
Do you think that I'm so horrible
Do you feel like I'm incorrigible
I can't stand myself at all but I can't get away
Do you think that I'm so horrible
I'm a wreck, I confess that I messed this up last time
No matter what I do it don't feel right
Can't think about another sleepless night
But I know it's bound to happen again
As I look back on every matter inside my every disaster
Longing for happy ever after
Do you think that I'm so horrible
Do you feel like I'm incorrigible
I can't stand myself at all but I can't get away
Do you think that I'm so horrible
Float on down to memories I don't want
I'm so sorry for what I have done

Cold and callous, paper-thin
Heavy eyelids over empty windows full of nothing
But it's okay
This is what it’s like when you just don't know where you're going
Standing in place
When are we gonna know where we end up
Is it ever easier? It gets easier, it has to
What if we just let go of all we've built up
Would it be easier, get easier? I don't know
Now it has to
Waking up in this same old bed
We’re staying down till 3 pm again
What are we doing? Is this okay
This is how it feels when you just left everything you wanted
Think back to a life when the only thing we seemed to have was time
Why can’t we rewind? Just string along and get by in the meantime

Fifteen Hours Of Sleep

I sometimes feel trapped
In a world of rough and rocky faces
Made of stones and other things that crack and break my bones
I'm often scared of leaving my own home
But I gotta go
You come along and show me warmth that I have never known
Like friction from my tires on the road
Like a bursting-orange coil to cook the bad away
You are my comfort, my velvet pillow in a cold-quarry-world
My soft graze across the skin on my cheek
Keeping me in bed for just another minute
Let me take one more
And it seems to me
That my memory's just not what it used to be
I used to memorize the details perfectly
But now you help me with my fading memory
It's just what I need

My long list of concerns that I kept pent up in my head
Just know your silence burned far deeper than the rest
Assure me things are good until it all falls to pieces
My friends knew that it would but I never could believe them
The day you said you didn't want me I didn't want myself
I tried to stop it, couldn't watch this. You put us on the shelf
Up we went next to your old bottle of captain
I guess I knew that you would but I never could believe it
And this is what it's like being out here on your own
No longer masking life with your lust and alcohol
Yeah this is how it goes when you're taking shots with both eyes closed
I guess I'm ready to go
I guess it's time to go
In times when people feel hopeless letting go is their resolution
I hope you choose to see through this before you end up lost and broken
You never put faith in me when I'd tell you that we're worth something
I hope you turn out okay even though I'm not what you wanted
I’ll never be what you wanted
Guess this is what it's like being out here on my own
And now I'm masking life with my lust and alcohol
And this is how it goes when I’m taking shots with both eyes closed
I guess I'm ready to go
I guess it's time to go

Fix

Do you think I'm getting better now
Can I shed this skin I've grown on me
Underneath these rugged, ragged clothes
Stuck to me like icicles
Don't go, I wasn't ready for
Everything life has thrown at me
Say so and I will lay my
Lips on the ground that holds your feet
I've been feeling small and helpless now
For months on end with no control
But if I've learned anything in life
It's you've gotta fight to stay afloat
Don't go, I'm just not ready for
This loneliness that comes for me
Now I know that not being alone
Isn't a cure for anything
Oh, these broken things will never be repaired
Oh, take time to admit this to yourself
If we were born like this
Then were we ever really broken at all
It isn't right to try to fix
When we're just learning to cope

Reflection

There's a painting that overlooks the dining room
At the house I grew up in
You painted it and it's been gazing out over the table
For as long as I remember
And I wish that I had given it closer consideration
A better look when you were around
I'd tell you that it's beautiful
I never realized how much it reflected everything you feel
I can't say that I'm happy you're no longer here
But I'm glad that you're out of this pain
You suffered so much for so many years
Well I just hope you feel free again
A boat out of water, old and decrepit
Sitting in what used to be a river
With no sail to speak for, and nowhere to go
Even if it could just float away
I can’t say that I’m happy you’re no longer here
But I’m glad that you’re finally at peace
We’ve been through so much for so many years
And I miss you more day after day
I never got you to tell you this for one last time
And I hope you’re sitting comfortably looking down on me
I’m not sure that’s what I believe
I never got you to tell you this for one last time
I love you and goodbye
