Beginning of Sad Times
07:23
|

by my way could i swallow the fog i’m in
recall in the car our talk of the state we’re in?
do i suppose in your words the feeling of solace lives or hope that the fog could swallow the way i am?
my very breath rings this hollow: day time bears the night’s sorrow
propose in the car on our holiday that we crash get it over with in the quickest way
are we bound to each other in our awful fate?
are we souped in the sadness of the morrow’s weight?
i feel the pieces fall into place i can’t go on another day
coy, i played my song as though it wasn’t mine

coin flip do i end my life i saw in my hand what i could not decide
it’s not enough to feel love from family or from a friend so here i am coloring white snow red
careful speaking truthfully thinking my life is wrought with desire to end
carefully speaking truthfully thinking my blood may freeze before i spill enough
said you belong to no one else
i saw in my heart what i could not deny
my feelings now worse and worse my awful head
sorry for coloring white snow red
our careful lines
when you love someone it goes wrong you come undone
i could not find you there or anywhere you were undone
i will admit i was wrong i was undone all along
where i went wrong is none of my business now photographs won’t help retrace through my steps
it’s none of my business now photographs won’t help retrace through the past for you or me

Turnaround

my friends i’ve failed
i wish you would call or gather round
i need you now more than ever i’ve felt
but today i’d say don’t come around i don’t want to see you
sorry for how things turned out sometimes life doesn’t go your way
it comes to me now waves crash about knowing what i’ve done
i can’t see through my tears
all the lies that i keep on telling myself
that i’m fine alone
but i know by the time summer rolls in i’ll end my life
i don’t want to survive
you know i still think of you
i pictured you on my side

Souped in Sadness
02:35
|
|||
|
oh i’m caught in this awful life my only peace is my knife
i wanted to be undone by the hand of one i love
each time that i said ‘i’m fine’ i meant i really really tried i tried to be okay
please send me cards instead of roses
god i was just sinking in the feeling of wondering how and where have all my feelings gone
god i’m in this scramble hand in the dark for the light switch wondering how does one turn feelings off
i cannot stand on my own
i must have driven past your jordan’s house half a hundred times or more
it was only to make sure you were alright
odd i was just swimming in the cup of sadness funny thing, i poured

you are the face i see when i close my eyes
you are the one who ruined my life
foolishly i’m alone i’m hot for taking my life
you always were the one to talk me out of my mind
i know where i’ll head
i wish the cold would stay to keep my away for now
foolishly i had thought things for me would be alright
you always said you hoped you’d be the one who would find me
when i’m not with you i’m losing my mind
then when i’m with you things they seem fine

soft our song of mourning slow i know but is that enough?
still you’re drawn to leaving things alone are better off
no past that blithely kites behind no futures hangs for us to adorn
still in ways i’m sewn in, in so many ways already gone
still you’re drawn to leaving things alone are better off
i cannot see nor unsee what i saw for us all wrapped in light
though in dire times they say the ones you love most come to mind so call upon your fondest memories call or fall upon your closest friendlies
though in dying times they say the ones who loved you most appear so call upon your warmest farings call or fall upon your soft ones, they won’t come

Lamplight Forgiveness
04:00
|

|
don’t stop caring i now need your forgiveness
in the morn i cried i’m just not cut out to feel love
don’t stop caring now that you know i’m leaving
don’t tell me like i have been there for you
it’s not so much that you’re full of lies it’s more about your coward ass and mine
i could not let you go from the lamplight too far
i could not let you go from the lamp through my hands light bursts
i have been so unfair to you i have been so unkind
don’t stop caring i now need your forgiveness
don’t stop caring for me i need you closely
in the morn i cried i’m unfit for no part in your life

The Knife, One More Time
07:43
|

could i hold you one more time
stripped at the gate, all wrapped in light
could i hold you one more time
friend, could i fold up inside your life
one more time
you’re happy again prize consolation
you’re happy again sharpest knife around
you’re happy again what end to fickle fuckery
and now you’re floating perfectly away from me and all my pain
bemoan the loss of your friends your prized relations
but through the tapestry it’s weaved your thread through all that’s been said
before you’re floating perfectly away from me and all of my pain

Fish Food
04:15

diviner of toothaches what does it mean different words for the same thing slowly i’m spilling falling apart a fool for the iced days not the sunned
i’ve trouble enduring being halved on the tracks or cooked at the substation is this the last cut at the trailhead a cut at the lake look to the night sky a cut on my leg
now that i’m totally sunk in the waves fools for the iced days never learn how when in trouble not to jump in the lake i’m food for the fishes all the same
highline all alone

so far i thought it’d be you and me indefinitely
now that you’re gone i feel indefinitely awful
lift me up from the wheels i promise not to leave
so far i thought it’d be you and me potentially
fall for the pleasure you’re a fool by any measure
so far i thought it’d be you and me indefinitely
pull me up through the ceiling real feelings don’t leave
things you feel aren’t real
feelings are more unclear
undried tears disappear
with the snow’s falling here
there’s no one who loves you more
than i do unlucky you

Bonkey Trek

i’ve had it with love the only thing we share is hurt and that’s not a real answer
lonely or bored there are only so many ties left to sever
for a few more there are only so many days left before i lose it
fall around fall around
somehow joy has slipped right through my fingers but now i’ve got to go on
can you feel so alright when knowing your loved ones want to die
spend one more night alive it must be nice to feel alright
completely bored with having lived through all these years without changing anything about me or more to the point with not trading my scars for better friendships
there’s got to be more to life than crying in the bathroom through all the parties
undried tears disappear
and all for joy i am feeling so embarrassed for how i’ve gone on like this
