Frustrated, nowhere to turn Instant satisfaction but I'm always getting burned by all the things I think I have to be But I acknowledge my lack of complacency I can't stay still It brings me to my knees I've never been anything other than a failure so winning just doesn't feel right I’m like all of my loose change that I put in a cup and safely stored away In that, it's gaining worth a little at a time and it’ll help me out when I am in a bind Although I'm a teapot always full of steam I wanna help my friends to live out all our dreams "But I know me and my lack of motivation Discouraging, what's happening? This doesn't feel right" I pressured myself into sitting through my strife Got angry at everything so fuck this desert life It seems I'm catching myself in some sort of 22 Trying to feel real like I'm supposed to Catastrophe, is my strategy But my mindset is progressively Changing for the better, never ever say never Do the things that help you sleep and the hungrier you'll be I'm still skipping class more than I think I should Laziness derives from being taught to be that way And now I’m caught in Bret's Sharpshooter all year long and now I'm passing out like Stone Cold no longer trying to escape from me (from me) from this I'm accepting this shit to try and fly far from my past

Boiling over, filled my kitchen with smoke Try'd to do things I always do, feels like home in my white shoes Did I forget? No muscle memory I'm spacing out like macaroni spilling all on my floor I'm twisted up inside, I'm feeling like I can't take any more But I'm not the only one who's frequently here alone Thinking "when's it's gonna end and why do I always pretend that I'm having good time even though I know I'm not?" I should just go home and die inside that's the way I wanna spend my night Sacrifice to emphasize a feeling And it's 'cause I'm too choked up to breathe from experiencing no relief Did I forget? No muscle memory My idiosyncratic ways of fighting through another day It's just a stupid blurry photo, it didn't matter anyway It's self inflicted so it seems, a burden meant for one to keep No restless searching all I've found is downward thinking to pillow bound (and I’ve been asking myself) If I'm not the only one who's frequently here alone Thinking "when's it's gonna end and why do I always pretend that I'm having good time even though I know I'm not?" I should just go home and die inside that's the way I wanna spend my night (the way I wanna spend my night)

Biding Time 04:08
Come with me on an adventure of screen burned eyes and a bit of liquor If anything I'm doing seems to bother you in any way I'm sorry, I'm just torn this way You won't listen anyway Do the holes in my door make me crazy? In these modern times I'm teetering desperately For a sign that these things will be alright In the end my bones won't bend they just break under the pressure from all my thoughts about her And I can't get a grip on anything around me Today's the day I quit I think I'll stay inside And overthink but I'm just biding time And waiting for someone to call I hate these late nights writing songs about how I'm alone I can’t keep up, I always freeze up I'm gaining too much weight from swallowing all my words Just give me a second to bottle up my courage Some things I cannot fix I hope you will understand why I’m taking so long I hate the anxiety, it’s caused everything I’ve done wrong (x2) I’m just a frustrated fuck up

I was never ready and I can’t keep steady singing all these songs about being down That's not how i always am, even though it's how it seems Life's not really that bad, it’s only in my dreams I'm swinging for the fences and I'm never giving up Even though it's getting hard and I've almost had enough I'll get right back up on my own two feet This is glamorous defeat I'm asking for some answers Suggesting that the best of me is tested My life’s an offsides call when matters most Just when I think I've won Another rainy day parade I'm asking for some answers to try and find a way out of this place I'm stuck at home watching tv, feeling like a joke Like how I didn’t get the job so now I'm staying broke But it’s chill because I didn’t really sweat it that much and that’s odd since it’s the summer and the heat here sucks When I walked into the street this morning I saw a skylight I'd never seen It's at the end of the block where all the trees and the trailers used to be But that old man lost his property, or maybe he just died Whatever the case, I’m sorry man but things are always changin'

Somber 03:57
When I'm awake, I stare at my bedroom ceiling I think of all the feelings, and can't fall back asleep And every time I try to look away from the shadows in my bedroom I try to turn over and forget But I won’t forget I guess it's something I'll have to deal with Like anything else it's what makes me imperfect With everything moving along in line I seem to get cut every time I know I'll turn out just fine I just doubt the sun will shine I fall asleep just fine every night But wake up with visitors My pillow can't protect me tonight From realizing I'm their creator Come quickly, I can’t breathe I found myself on the floor again Speak softly, I can’t see them at my desk plotting their revenge on my closet door And I can’t forget I can't stay asleep (x8) (Come quickly, I can’t breathe) I can't stay asleep (x2) so I guess I’ll just dream.
