I can't believe my eyes
A part inside me dies
It's insane how hard I tried
To be a part of you.
With each word you pump out
The more and more I doubt
That you could be this way
It seems impossible.
And every time I think of you,
I remember the chance I blew.
I can only hope that I'll see you again.
I hope it's not just now and then.
Because you and I could be the best of friends.
And we could dance all night to all our favorite songs.
And you'd whisper, "Stay with me until the sun comes up."
And I'd take you by the hand
And we would run away together.
I stood there listening
To every single thing
That you had to say
And I found out that you
Knocked off every last mark
And your past is very dark
You told me by the street
When everyone went away

Safety Pins

I seem to be sinking deeper every day.
Just when I think I'm fine, you find another way
To make me feel helpless, like I've lost all control.
Because this feeling's not okay.
Knock me out or grab a needle
Numb my mind, I feel so feeble.
You could bring the brightness anywhere the sun don't shine.
But my comfort's in the darkness
Where I know I would have been just fine.
I like to think that you're a sunny day
And everything will be okay, but darling,
You make life so complicated.
You seem to be sinking deeper every day.
Just when you think you're fine, I find another way
To make you feel helpless, like you've lost all control.
Because this feeling's not okay.
And I wouldn't really mind taking a chance this time
Because I think it's safe to trust in you.
And I really hope you find that you can take a chance this time.
Because I swear it's safe to trust in me.
I hope you see that there's nothing that we can't be.

Apathy

I just stare
It's becoming clear to me that
I don't care
I'm seeing all the things you see
And I'm starving for happiness,
Just a little bliss.
I'm jealous of the way you smile,
I wish that you could stay a while
Because I adore you.
I'm jealous of the way you laugh,
I swear it tears my heart in half
I'm on the outside looking in.
Take me there,
Make me know there's more to me than misery
I want to be all I can be
And with you here, everything's clear.
And I'm quite sure that it's you,
You'll take me where I need to go.
No more sorrow, here's to tomorrow!

Care-Free
02:00

As I sit here I think,
Why bother even writing this song?
Because no one will ever hear it.
Or maybe someone will hear it, but they won't care
Because it's not that great.
And they're trying to get their shit done
And it's distracting.
And I think I'm pretty annoying
But that will never change.
Because I talk to myself way too much.
And I think I'm pretty annoying.
I think I think too much.
I think my girlfriend hates me.
I think of bomb and such,
When I think of people's stupidity.
And I view society as a fat woman who's 34
Sitting in Starbucks.
Sipping away at her Frappuccino
While she's on her phone reading posts from strangers she hates.
Whatever happened to intellectual debates?
What ever happened to reading books?
What ever happened to a hierarchy
In which people with talent and intelligence could succeed?
What ever happened to integrity?
What happened to success that's color-free?
What happened to a world that's more concerned
With nature over factory?
How could I be care-free?

A Sudden Feeling of Hope
02:11
|

I'm not a religious man,
But sometimes I hope Heaven is real
So I can spend forever with you.
Because life on Earth is not enough
And all I really want is more time
Even if we're bad and we go to hell.
And if our sins outweigh the good
And we get dragged on down to Hell,
I'll still love you in the flames.
Your melted face would be beautiful to me.

You Are a Human
01:50

One day all your bodies will turn to dust.
Your family cries and your cars begin to rust.
Your life underneath that grave is pretty much the same.
Your body says you're dead, congrats you won the game
Of life, and as your skin begins to turn grey,
The whole world lives another day.
You are unimportant.
You're overwhelmed with paparazzi, drugs, and women.
Your money influx thrives, this is big livin'.
Your cancer is spreading, and so is the word.
No more of your nonsense to feed the herd.
You're not Caucasian.
You are not Asian.
You are a human,
A creature of Earth, and that is all.

Boredom Tree
03:46
|

|
I don't want to get out of bed today
There's no point.
I'd rather sit here alone in misery
Thinking about how my teenage years add up to nothing
But sitting around, bummed out, watching the world pass by.
I wasted all my time pursuing happiness.
Because in the modern culture of the world,
The desire to be happy means you're lazy.
But I swear someday I'll be the man I want to be
I'll be sitting here happy under the boredom tree.
I don't to be out there on my own
With no money and no ambition.
I don't want a career to call my own
Because I know that the money and the hard work
Add up to nothing.
I just wonder what I should do
I really want to see this through.
There's no time left to pass me by
And I'm just scared I won't survive.

I Wanna Be a Fish
02:23
|

|
I hate when you look me in the nose
And you think, "Gee, this really blows."
And you can't wait to get out for a break.
Because one would need a large tag-team
Of sex and drugs and anything
To forget about how bad it is to talk to me.
Because I can't do my work
And I can't talk to my parents
And I cannot write good music
And I cannot sing.
And I can't make anyone happy
And I'll never make it in this world.
I wanna be a fish.
Fish have no intelligence
And fish don't have to get good grade
And fish don't have to go to college
And fish don't have to work.
And fish, they have no worries
And fish, they don't do anything
Except suck in all that water and forget everything.
And fish are just as important as homo sapien sapiens.
And if a boy fish loved another boy fish
They could be together without angry, confused stares.
And if a girl fish was pregnant with some fish
And she was not in a place to take care of those fish
Then that girl fish, who is pregnant with those fish
She could make a choice without being labeled as murderer.
And the best part is, if I were a fish,
I would be dead by now.
And the biggest dream of mine
Is that just one fucking day
My main concern would be sucking in that water
Instead of writing an essay.

I Hate You
02:44
|

|
I hate you and everything you do.
Nothing can hold back my disgust for you.
And you could be bought for a penny
If the buyer got ripped off
And you'd get tossed in with the trash that's so high above you.
And if you think that you are worth something,
You're not.
It's become an expectation that you'll let everyone down.
And the worst pain that you ever feel
Is when you're looking in the mirror
And you understand what failure looks like.
It took me a really long time to write this song.
That's because it's hard to write about yourself.

Congratulations, you made it to the end of the album
And I know it must have been really tough
But you kept on going through all of the
Audible evidence of my failure.
I hope you haven't made it this far.
And I feel I owe an apology
To all you people that listened to me, listen to me.
I am sincerely sorry for letting you know who I am
And what I think.
I am only 16,
How can I be honest when I don't even know the truth?
What do I know, what do I know, what do I know? X4
I know I'm a fraud.
I am a fraud!
