i’m too afraid to love again
we had a history of parking lots
and i’m not quite sure what it means
a song as sweet as hunny
and malls with microwaves
but that won’t change a goddamn thing
i’m still caught up in this mess
you’re still caught up in my head
but i’m too afraid to love again
god how i want you to believe i could be something worth more than a friend
but i terrified to take the plunge
i need your care to make it right
and sleep next to at night
but i’m too afraid to love again

When I Fall

oh my god it’s killing me
the way you condescend every word
but all the signs are pointing towards a happy ending
and god knows that i need this to work
we’ll figure it out
i need us to
put the work in and reap all that we’ve sewn
take my hand and don’t let go
i’m overthinking again
but what else is new
oh my god
philophobic tendencies
will rise and fester
to unrealistic jealousy
im no longer afraid
to be in love but it’s evolved now
thanatophobically
is it worth it, too blind to see?
can I handle another travesty?
there’s not much left to give of me
a broken man, trying to find his piece
can you hear me?
or should i give up now?
cuz all bets are in and it’s too late to pull out
baby i’m going for it
i just hope you’ll be there to catch me when i fall

I NEVER USED TO FIND IT SO HARD
I NEVER USED TO GO AND SHOW MY HAND
BUT ALL MY CARDS ARE ON THE TABLE
SO HERES TO TAKING A CHANCE
there’s that crooked tooth in your otherwise perfect smile
i love that it reminds me of my broken home
but there’s this still doubt that’s skipping rampant like a stone
and that makes me fear that you might not walk me home
should i wear my soles thin?
or lose you to the dark of the night
was that the wind that walked you home?
or someone else holding you tight?
I NEVER USED TO FIND IT SO HARD
I NEVER USED TO GO AND SHOW MY HAND
BUT NOW THERES 20 HANDS ON THE THROTTLE
AND I JUST WANNA GET BACK TO LAND

Heartstrings
02:46
|
|||
|
We’ve got our hands tied
Woven through the ends of scissors
all of our anger keeps the grip held tight
And the business end
Is wrapped around my heartstrings
But ill be the one to close my fingers first
Playing games is fun
Until youre mutilating eachother
Loving you sounds great
When its laid out on paper
But i don’t think i that i can do this anymore
It’s too late to unknot this bowline
But neither of us seem to want to push
All that’s left to do now is to cut the paper dolls
And snap all your wretched heartstrings in two

Fireworks in the Valley
03:52

last year
on the fourth of july
we sat and watched
the fireworks fly by
i remember that sense of connection
i hadn’t felt quite before
even though i knew it might not last much more
this year
on the fourth of july
i drove with the local natives
into the night
the three of us we all laughed and talked about the longer plots in life
but you hung over like a shadow looming in the back of my mind

Running on Empty
03:54
|
|||
|
i know you didn’t mean to hurt me
you even said so yourself
but denying features so close to invalidated my sense of self
my identity laid in those decisions
and you renounced them just the same
to me it felt not unlike
renouncing my own name
i tripped over every word
unable to fulfill
everything i was supposed to be
when all you ever seemed to want was for me to just be me
i know that you still watch when you think that i’m not looking
i know it’s been three months since we’ve exchanged a spoken word
i hope you see why and how this ended, there’s no hard feelings
but i’ve been running on empty for far too fucking long

Nemean
02:55
|
|||
|
you charmer of all those around you
what was i supposed to do?
with you so elegantly gazing back at everyone but me?
seeing you through dripping sweat and septum rings,
i knew that you were never mine in the first place
i think i’ll choke when you find out this is for you
you’ll never get it
i guess i shouldn’t expect you to
it seems this love is dead
oh nemean take me with you

Smile When You See Me
03:58
|
|||
|
Im tired of getting fucked up
but Ill do it anyway
today im a scumbag yet,
im the savior of yesterday
smile when you see me
later ill be sent away
i got high and fell down low
i got high and crashed and burned
oh i got high and lost it all
i got high and fell down low
The rains drown the grass
with a vicious chokehold
mother nature warns me
Ill be next between her folds
spare me an explanation
some things arent meant to be known
i got high and fell down low
i got high and crashed and burned
oh i got high and lost it all
i got high and fell down low

Sweet Bliss
02:36
|
|||
|
at the crossroads
Of my imagination
I choose a path
And take charge
I smile as my muscles shake
knowing this too, will come to pass
the dreams in my heart pumping blood
keep me from sleeping at night
Oh I dread the days when
All the love has washed away
And all the eyes are gray then
The universe has no say
Oh I loathe the times when
The soul has been spent
And your mind has not paid rent
Something has been laid bare
At the beginning
Of something new
I take breath
And jump right in
as frosty as that deep might be
all of my composure I will keep
that icy delight cutting right through me
sweet sweet bliss I feel it creep

i’m missing everyone i know
im missing everyone i know
but i still can’t help from pushing everyone i love away
i wonder if you think about me as much as i do you
i know you don’t but i enjoy being naive
god i was so eager to love again
i was so eager to love again
but your words cut deeper than my intent
when you go i’ll trace your heart back to
the place where i found you
i was so eager to feel your touch
but all i did was go and fuck it up
so when you left i pushed the blame on you
now we’re distant, who could’ve guessed? who knew?
god i was so eager to love again
