Intro

Calm down love
You know I'm not the one you need
And I won't be the one that holds you back
Like you've been holding me

Neighbors
02:59
|
|||
|
Well who am I to judge
Smeared makeup and tight clothes
Maybe you just had a bad day
I’ve had my fair share of those
And If I had to guess
I’d say it’s smoke in your lungs and weight on your chest
And the smell of alcohol that lingers on your breath
You might not be at your best
But you’re beautiful to me
And I’m just your weird neighbor
Always alone in glasses
I stare out my window because fresh air
Stings my lungs
And I’d be lying if I didn’t say
Your music really bothers me
Because it’s 4 in the morning
And I’m having trouble sleeping right now
Because I’m so fucking tired of
The smell of paper factories around here
And I can’t tell if that’s why my eyes burn
Whenever I see you
Probably not though
And I’m just your weird neighbor
Always alone in glasses
I stare out my window because fresh air
Stings my lungs
And I'd be lying if I said I knew your name

Delorean
02:56
|

It takes me back to 1999
I was only eight and I’ll never forget
My brother and I saw the Phantom Menace
And American Pie
I was too young to understand
That I would be
An emotional wreck by 19
And carry that into my 20’s
I was too young to comprehend
That I’d start smoking at 13
And form an addiction early in high school
I too focused on Pokemon to pay attention in class
And now I struggle with everything
I was too dumb to take advice from everyone who was just looking out for me

Parking Garages
02:01
|
|||
|
You said we can’t keep it together
I’m good but you’re better
At fucking up all that we touch or try to do
But don’t write me off just yet
I’m fairly confident
That it could get much worse
It just hasn’t happened
But give it time (I've been meaning to tell you)
Give it time (That I wish I knew)
Just give it time (How to make it better)
Lightning strikes in the same place
But hurricanes blow in from the coastline
Often
We must be New Orleans
And it must be the season
For letting down everyone
We’re a collapsing building
We are structurally compromised
Maybe it’s a good thing
We’re not national landmarks
Because no one will remember us
When they put a parking garage up

Scarlet Letter
02:27
|
|||
|
You’ve got that scarlet letter written on your chest
Don’t get me wrong this is me wishing you the best
First I hope you stand trial with a jury of your peers
They can drag out your skeletons that’ve been closeted for years
By all means I hope you get some help
For your third degree eternity while you burn in hell
I’m not sad, just a little bit angry
Mostly at myself
I can’t believe you almost caught me
Leaving my own shell
I hope that karma finds you
Before someone with no conscious does
But I don’t believe in karma
So I hope you get what you deserve

Titanic
02:00
|
|||
|
All my bright ideas turn into burnt out bulbs
When it comes to excuses all my plots have holes
I want to help bare the load but I’m the weight you hold
I’m a burden and I know it, I would understand if you wanted to go
Please just leave I’m better off on my own
But it feels so good to have someone next to me
Is it selfish to wish that you’d never think about?
Leaving my side
I know I’m the anchor that’s weighing down your ship
I know I’m the holes in the sails on your mast
I know I’m the anchor that’s weighing down your ship
I’d understand if the captain didn’t sink with it
Please let me be the iceberg that no one sees
Please let me be the assassin the calmly leaves
Please let me be the flower on the wall
Please let me be the first leaf to die in the fall

I never thought I would make it this far
22 and I’m still lost
Hoping for a sign to remind me
What I forgot to remember
Bailed out a break neck speeds
And yet still nothing has killed me
Fell asleep at the wheel again
Hoping for a guardrail to end the night
Never thought life would be this hard
First world problems and starter scars
Guess I have no tolerance
For the pain in the neck that I am
Alligator death roll would be a cool name for some sushi
Do you hate me?
Cause I hate me enough for the both of us
I never thought I would make it this far
22 and I’m still lost
Hoping for a sign to remind me
What I forgot to remember
|

8. |
||||
|
I made a list of pros and cons
Can you guess which side you’re on
It’s the shorter side that says
Fuck you and your bullshit
You never had my back
So much for
We were meant
To be together
I don’t think
I can love anyone
The way you love yourself
Go die in a fire
Go play in traffic
That’s a little too far
I’m being over dramatic
But you know what I mean
I hope I never see your face again
Breakups are hard
And you’re fucking stupid
