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

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
4.
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 02:26
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
6.
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 02:54
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
