If you couldn’t open up your lungs
Then you’d be sure
You wasted all
Of the life you lived
Cause I’ve been kicking round an idea
The left when you arrived
Now I hate the thought and the sound of it
And now I never would
And when it wasn’t getting better
You left for another round
A walk about
To your favorite spots
You thought it’d hurt and you weren’t wrong this time
Did it even cross your mind
How your family felt
Did you think of them
Well now you never will
Did your phone start to ring only just in time
Picking up only for fucking peace of mind
And afterwards, we’ll talk about how you’re still not fine
Fighting feelings you’ll feel till the end of time

Well if you have to leave this place
Then you should go
To wherever’s home
I can see it in your face
And you should know
That’s no way to go
And be sure
To blame home
And be sure
To call home
It happened so damn fast
There was nothing left
In my brainless head
And I know it isn’t fair
But you’ve done your best
Now get some rest
Cause the grass isn’t always greener
Although it’s everything you want
Just chalk it up to having fun
Cause you’re the last one I thought would leave here
As broken vessels push from shore
Just don’t give up what you adore
And be sure
To blame home
And be sure
To write home

Welcome to your home
A place to lay your bones
We’ll tear the carpet out
And paint the walls around
And I’ve got a lot to say to you
About why birds fly south and why there’s toxic youth
Yeah I’ve got a lot to say to you
Be cruel to me
Oh my god
You’ve got a whole world to see
We should duck for cover
But you wont bat an eye
And neither will I
And we should talk this over
Like do you feel alright
My fist to the sky
I think I’ve lost all faith
In the human race
Don’t wanna bring you here
To live your life in fear
And I’ve got a lot to say to you
About how things should change
but there’s so much to do
Yeah I’ve got a lot to say to you
Be cruel to me
Oh my god
You’ve got a whole world to seize
We should duck for cover
But you wont bat an eye
And neither will I
And we should talk this over
Like do you feel alright
My fist to the sky

Better Nights

When we met
I was on my own
Needed
Time to let grow
You had to be sure
And I had
Everything own
On my back
Just looking for a home
I had nothing left
Then finally we came around
The anger
I pushed it down
Again I drown in it
But those were just better nights
Did everything I could try
To hold it in and keep from you
We needed to apologize
We’re running to our demise
I hope again
This better work
I came
In without a sound
You heard
Me fucking around
I guess I was wrong
Then I heard
You breaking all my shit
I cant
Believe its come to this
It hits like a brick
Then finally it came around
The anger I pushed it down
Again we drown in it
But those were just better nights
Did everything I could try
To hold it in and keep from you
My anger is my demise
And loneliness coincides
I hope again
This better work

I made a list of all my plans
You weren’t in them so I bled where I stand
This isn’t how it’s supposed to go
Just making my way back following tracks in the snow
But I for one will be sure
You’re not left out there on your own
So I stayed home to ease your mind
And I could be a failure
But at least I could say I tired before I died
Is this all just prolonging a waste of time
Stuck in stories and circles
I just can’t find
The better words at the perfect time
I could change your mind
But after all
After all it’s your word not mine
And after the first time you died
You got a chance at a better life
You crawled back up to fuck things up again
But that doesn’t mean a thing
You’re still and always my everything
But this is your choice
This is your life
But I for one will be sure
You’re not left out there on your own
So I stayed home to ease your mind
And I could be a failure
But at least I could say I tired before I died
Is this all just prolonging a waste of time
Stuck in stories and circles
I just can’t find
The better words at the perfect time
I could change your mind
But after all
After all
