You came to my show
I tucked my head and slipped out
the back door
There's nothing worse
that I feel remorse for
than not being able to say
Thank You
An ode to you
Surely I owe you that now
Cause time has taken you away
my friend
I'm wondering when this shit will end
We're all still suffering
I have learned my lesson this time
After you threw me off your shoulders
I had never felt so colder than then
Since when
Do I check my rearview mirror times ten
Never giving you the chance to do
Exactly what they said you'd do to me
I want to know
Will I see this through?
There's one thing I know
We're all still suffering

Remembering what it was to feel young
Daylight on my eyelids
The sound of laughing children
Breaking down and spending
All my time hoping that you'd
maybe stay this time
Don't come back again
if you leave me this time
I'm not trying to take your time away
I'm not trying to tell you how to live
But friends want the best for each other
And I can't do this again
It's making my head spin
I'm not trying to trick your girl away
Make you mess up again
I just want you to focus for me, babe
Put the effort in and see what you get
I've been trying not to go down this road
I've been trying not to see you through a hole
that my brain created
Incorporated
Just so I could
Dismiss your behavior
Forgive her for the tally marks she gave her
And what was the purpose?
Sometimes I think our brains work against us
When we were young...

Let her go before I thought it through
Another wishing well I dump my pennies into
I break my neck trying to see you but
When you turn I shut up
Go silent
Mouth glued
I still don't feel inspired enough to change
Something I've yet to learn is stop making time
For people who clearly don't do the same
It was more about missing you and having someone to miss
Than it was about how we met, where we parked and where we went
To unload displeasure
We've all endured
I wasted my time but you opened this door to me
Opened a side of me I did not want to see
I did not want to be her
I'm not her
I'm not sure
I'm not yours
Trying my hardest to make light of a situation
That I knew would not stick to begin with
But I try and I try
Knowing well
I would not be able to stop the way I feel
Maybe no one is meant to be together
Maybe nothing is meant to be anything
I don't see this ending well but I see it ending
I don't see me ending well but I see me ending soon.

I know it's not that deep
Not worth taking my life over
At least I know I'd get sleep
I swear I repeat the same words
More than twice in one week
I'm growing so tired of feeling so bleak
Put my hands on the table
Nail them in
The only way I won't outgrow the situation that I'm in
I swear it's all the same
I overcompensate
You undermine me
I'm left to deal with the pain
Do you ever feel unwelcome?
Do you ever feel numb?
Like you don't want to go on?
Do you ever?
Do you ever feel at all?

steady on the decline
there's nothing left to see
just a warm rotting image
of the person i thought i'd be
lukewarm in my shadow
want to swallow you whole
put me back in my place
have i ever been so bold?
drink more dance tomorrow
we brave the winter cold
flashlights yonder
forgetting how we each came to know one

The Flood

You want to say that I did this
You want to say that I hurt you
But we know the truth
Taking back the bits I had given
Close the door
I don't welcome you no more
And all of this started over him
And all of this could have been prevented
Hide behind what you call love
Don't be blind
He does not align
He does not align with you
And all of this started over him
And all of this could have been prevented
Listen to your kids
Feel
Feel
That feeling in my fingertips
I feel like I might have to dip
Unwanted and untouched again
Nevermore
The flood begins

Frost bit fingers in your hands
Lost shit in the back of your apartment
Only an accident
Washing you
Wash me away
One sip down the hole again
Pushing the push back
Delay
I won't tell you I like it
I would either way want to go
Follow them through the smokey light
Don't give me a fright
If you wanted to fight I'll have to go on
Placing my bet
Full of regret
But I'll do it either way
Oh
I'd do it for you
