Neighbors told me I'm being loud
Who told them I gave a fuck?
She told me I should've been proud
For basing my dreams on good luck
I told myself I'm in this alone
Gotta do this thing right
Alcohol told me I'm doing fine
But I don't know if I'm alright
But I don't know if I'm alright
They told me, son, don't get caught up in the streets
What's so wrong with them anyway?
Meanwhile hopelessness spoke when I was 18
But then it all changed
Familiar lights had appeared
And they were so bright
She made me confused and in love
But I guess that that's alright
But I guess that that's alright
Caught this thought in my mind that I've been questioning
It's been running around for a few odd weeks
I'm the devil in her and she's the holiness in me

All my homies from around my homely getting kinda busy getting kinda faded
And I'm just trying to keep it steady by staying sober-minded
But I haven't been very good at that and everybody knows it
The truth is my intentions still have ugliness behind them
And I've been trying to make a change from my old ways but it's so complicated
Like how I miss my memory, but can't remember ever having it
A foggy mind to waste some time was at one point what I needed
But I'm older now and I wish comedowns weren't all that I was feelin
Reflections I don't count these days cause ghosts don't make my heart feel that elated
And this mirror on the wall don't show me many pretty faces
Cause every time I look I see someone who's far too jaded
So stare me down and tell me how the fuck I'm supposed to face this
Wasting my life on telling myself off
Holding onto I don't know what
I'm such a head fuck but I don't worry much
Cause people are born anew on colder avenues

Tell me about your system
And how it all works without it's pistons
Hope it takes notice of my actions
But it won't, ooo
Computer chips cracked and some broken
Troubleshooting bugs has kept you frozen
Your complex mind has been a burden
But it won't for long
And I noticed
Everything you had was all handed
To you on a silver fuckin plate, so
Don't you dare fuckin complain

Happy or not you float above me
Happy or not I'm still below
Happy or not, my memory
Happy or not, your funeral
Happy or not you leave a trail
Happy or not I still follow
Happy or not my efforts fail
Happy or not, your funeral
Happy or not
Happy or not

How could I be oblivious
To the obvious
How could I be taught to think so dumb
I wish the world would fuck off
They ask for everything
And that just makes my hands go white and numb
Like they own clothes
Like they own soul
Like they know anything about me at all
There's no more privacy
As far as I can see
And now I'm scared I'll never be alone
All the business men
Control the government
And suffocate the facts that we should know
Like they stand too tall
Like they stand at all
Like they're here but they were never really
Humans take
My breath from me
Unlike any other
Species, it
Just makes me sick
I can't really explain it oh
Beggars can't be choosers x3
Beggars

Childhood friend
Misguided miscreant
All I can think about these days is lighter fluid and the brains being decayed by the air in your coffin
They just laid you in it for the service and now you're some ash and a grave with no purpose
I hope it was worth it
A year before you left I faded slowly away
We didn't talk as much, or maybe not at all
I can't really remember the fall
You died thinking that was the end of it
But if you could see things now you'd think different
Or maybe not
Maybe you'd still cast an ignoring glare, a non existent stare, anytime, anywhere, anything would be good enough
Anything other than all those restless nights, I seemed to keep my eyes open in order to catch one last glimpse of you
One last ghost shell memory that my mind might've portrayed
And still does
To this day
Maybe you'd find the words to say
When it comes to leaving me
Don't be afraid
Cause I've forgiven everything
That you made happen

I hope you crash into the Sun
Without anything or one
Cause you won't make apologies
For the things that you've done to me
And I hate when you say
That it wasn't fair to you
Because it wasn't very fair to me
Cut me out. Here's to years of lonesome boundaries
But I don't really care that much anyway so
Don't step back and run in fear of consequence
Don't hesitate when it comes to leaving me
Contradictions run amuck
In my head so wish me luck
When feelings change so fast
How do you know which ones will last?
Cut me down. Fake a face until I get home
But we both know you're there too much anyway so
Please retract your hollowing stare
Please take back the nasty words you said to me
Contradictions run amuck
In my head so wish me luck
When feelings change so fucking fast
How do you know which ones will last?
I hope you crash into the Sun
Without anything or one
Cause you won't make apologies
For the things that you've done to me
And I hate when you say
That it wasn't fair to you
Because it wasn't very fair to me

A brief interlude on how I changed the strings
And how my mind changed me
I found myself to be my best friend
That matters in the end
Do you read me at all?
Do you feel me at all?
A brief struggle between failing and getting better
And so I choose the latter
Learning from the mistakes I've made
I'm waking to a brand new day
Do you hear me at all?
Do you fear me at all?
I won't be the one who cheats you this time
Like you did to me
Yeah, I won't be the one who downs you this time
Like you did to me
Like you did to me

Woken up to more thoughts about myself again
Hurry up, I ain't got much more time to spend
Tell me how do you keep it cool?
Tell me how do you keep it cool?
When I built my house out of straw
A wolf came through and blew all of it off
So I'll build my next one straight out of bricks
So that when you come around I won't give two shits
Broken up lists made in my broken head again
Looking up in my symptoms the best way I can
Tell me how you make it through this?
Tell me does this stress make you sweat?
When I built my house out of straw
A wolf came through and blew all of it off
So I'll build my next one straight out of bricks
So that when you come around I won't give two shits

I write this message to you
While you write me off
And I had idea for you
But you would've forgot
If you could save all my time
And tell me you've been generous, that I'd be less if not for you
But if I could save all my dimes
I would save enough to sail completely away from view
Now I write this message to you
While you write me off
And I had idea for you
But you would've forgot
