Professional Forgetters
02:13
|
|||
where have i been? where did you go?
on the front porch, out the back door, or passed out on the floor?
been here before
still the same place, is that your face?
can’t remember anymore
professional forgetters, the pain of that old sting
i scratch my head until it bleeds
i’m bitterly regretful, that time you spent with me
just flushed out of my memory
pack it up and move along
another town we all wear down
i can tell that something’s wrong
i’m wearing down, we all wear down
where have you been? where did you go?
been here before, i can’t remember anymore

Unfit
03:07
|

if i wanted to i’d go up to your room and i’d say,
this isn’t right
if i wanted to i’d kick you out on the street and say,
fuck you that’s fine
never wanted to but told myself it’d be okay,
nice fuckin try
said you wanted to but i can’t watch you throw life away
and pretend that’s fine
unfit for this life i don’t wanna live forever
but i don’t wanna die here
unfit for this life i’m not getting any younger
and i don’t wanna die here
thoughts race into the dark of night
smoke slides into the pale blue light
and fades away
out here alone, let me come home
ripping open at the seams
don’t wanna die here
so much for all of my dreams
don’t wanna die here

Stages of Regret
02:48
|
|||
that sinking feeling in my stomach hasn’t gone away
i sit here all day just worrying and stressing over nothing
where does time go
what the hell do I know
you seemed so sure, you were so brave, i felt so helpless
i should have known to act like every moment was the last
with all those miles between us, you never even made a fuss
we talked and laughed when we could, which was never often enough
i miss you with each passing day, all of this regret starts to weigh
heavy on my troubled mind, why can’t we go back to then
beaming almost blissfully
who’d have guessed you’d be gone
every day i let slip right by
pulls me down, let me move on

Everything's Alright
03:15
|
|||
count down the clock is ticking
i’d rather be anywhere but here
stuck with myself again
i’d rather be anyone but…
my mind is like a broken record,
spinning ‘round and skipping back a beat
left over from the night before
can’t get myself up off the floor
let go of all that drags you down
i just want to say i’m fine
you will be better off somehow
i try my best to get by
when all is said and done, i just need to take my time
it’s in those quiet moments
i circle back on small mistakes
i get so fucking worked up
that i can hardly see straight
why won’t the voices in my head take a break, leave me alone instead
why can’t the nonsense in my head take a break, leave me alone instead

Kai

some of the best years of my life have been spent thinking about you
i never really knew who you were
some of the choices that i’ve made have been made because of you
it’s fucked, the lies we wrap ourselves in
all of the tears that i’ve shed were spent forgetting about you
the times i’ve broken down is countless
and all of the emptiness that’s left when i get through this
do you understand what you’ve caused
you told me to call myself pretty
as you took the choice from me
what am i to you
just a whisper of something else to do
do you know what you’ve done
i struggle to keep pulling myself through

Whimper
03:01
|
|||
it’s not a bang but a whimper that takes us out,
mundane, alone, and fading out
just another excuse i abuse to justify wasting my time
as i watch the world slip by i think, guess i’ll have another drink
it’s not a bang but a whimper that freaks me out
no one around to calm the fear, or say let’s get out of here’s our song
let’s roll the windows down and maybe sing along and pretend that nothing’s ever changed
i never wanted this, i never want to feel this way
cornered, turned inside out
hesitate and miss the opportunities sent to me
just give me one more chance
i see you upstairs won’t you come outside
one last night to feel alive
this cars in gear so let’s get outta here
words can never express
the feelings caught in my chest
it was never enough but at least i tried my best
trace the cord back to the past
when did i see you last
the night is slipping fading fast
remind myself we aren’t built to last

High Bar
02:26
|
|||
i took it slow today, it’s the same set of mistakes
set on repeat endlessly
i walked in late again and i can’t leave them hanging
another bar set to conquer
i waited so long just to prove myself
it’s too tangential but can you hear me shouting
i took the long way home it’s funny how the time flies
working and waiting for an answer
i watch the cars pass by and i can’t help but wonder
where would we be without each other
i’m in the passenger’s seat and i don’t know where to get off
gonna keep my head up high and watch my life pass me by
i’m in the driver’s seat and i’m flying off the handle
i can’t help falling to pieces again
watch out now i’m falling to pieces in front of you

Ba-Chan

you weren’t lost at sea, hope floating on the horizon
one home and struggle left behind for another
wisdom and love shared as you watched me grow
older each year but you still know how to party
listen to your stories after school
drop a record on us dancing fools
something shifts inside your head
now you’re fuckin’ stuck in a hospital bed
from inside your head to a hospital bed
get out of that bed and back home instead
you're the best one that i know
get up on your feet and just
kick that fuckin chair to the side, step outside
may be tough, who gives a fuck
all that counts is in your heart and mind

Stumble
03:05
|
|||
another night to end the week
i stumble and i fall
i must look a mess but you tell me i’m fine
bite my lip and walk the line
always say “can’t help myself”
i get excited and unwind
promise i’ll be better next time
i don’t wanna let you down
walking circles around the block
that alone is good enough
another hour or so will make me feel just fine
i’m too scared to go inside
don’t try to listen too hard to what i say
because it won’t make sense anyway
i’m like a wind-up-doll, i don’t stop till i fall
i let my feet take me back to the place i call home
let’s call it for the night, i don’t want to fight
it always happens where i say too much at the wrong time

My Friend
02:30
|
|||
hello my friend it’s been a long time since
we’ve had the chance to talk again
i’ve had my list of grievances prepared so
sit the fuck down
don’t expect to feel a warm and welcome embrace
when all you do is make me struggle just to breath
i am sick of feeling skeptic trepidation
i refuse to be your precious porcelain thing
i’m at the end, i’m at the end of my rope
melancholic daydream you drive me crazy weaving a lie inside my mind
agitated heartbeats kicking and screaming you can’t control me anymore
so long my friend it’s time for you to move on
get the fuck out
your not-so clever ruse is over
i won’t be fooled like that again
all those times you had me caught up in your false race
made me feel like i was trapped and stuck in time
can’t keep living in these silent aching moments
all these moments that are trapped inside my mind

Brakes
03:23
|

brakes, slam ‘em down
pumping, pumping, still no sign of slowing down
wake, to the sound
i’m screaming, i’m screaming
but it’s dead silent all around
worn out and tired, i watch as your patience grows thin, why’s life so grim
shiver and shake, crawl up these walls, can't get down, you're not coming around
are you unaware of how these bottles got in here
wake up knowing that you’ll be glowing
when i'm deep in the ground.
hate not knowing, but i quit trying
trying to figure you out
i know, you know, i know you know
what’s to say, how am i this way
what’s to say, how am i this way
pump on the brakes, but it seems they’re pumping on me, pushed back down
head tied in knots, why won't these bottles make it stop
end of the party
another fucked up friday
at the break of dawn
face down on this lawn
it’s the end of this heartache
a shitty pity party
i wave, you’re gone
so lonely on this lawn
