Empty Spaces

I know lately you can’t sleep
So you’ve moved into the next room with the smaller bed
You can’t stand the empty space.
Stuck in misery
Making the best of what we’ve become.
Is happiness filled with regret?
Is there hope for us?
A storm rolls into the city
I can hear the sad songs in the leaves
reminding me of all the things you’ll never be
Stuck in misery
Making the best of what we’ve become
Is happiness filled with regret?
Is there hope for us?
It’s been a year without you here
and nothing is getting better
I can’t wake up in the morning
What’s the god damn point?
Stuck in misery
Making the best of what we’ve become.
Does happiness even exist?
Is there hope for us?

Tired Eyes

When you’re tired and you can’t fall asleep
Do you ever think of me
Like I always think of you
I’ll never get to dream again
Because when I close my eyes
I see you in my head reminding me of all the things I’ll never be
I just want to get to sleep
Last night I went to a show
I had a good time, but I left sad
I drove home through the city streets
That always meant something to me
Because when I close my eyes
I see you in my head reminding me of all the things I’ll never be
I just want to get to sleep
I’d be lying if I said I wished you the best
I’m at home all along with this hole in my chest
Because when I close my eyes
I see you in my head reminding me of all the things I’ll never be
I just want to get to sleep
When you’re tired and you can’t fall asleep
I hope you think of me.

Fractions
06:45
|
|

I feel like four-fifths of a person right now
And every time we fit into a booth
The look in our eyes is unbearable
It’s empty without you
I feel like two-thirds of a person right now
We were gonna take on the world
We won’t ever, ever give in
And we won’t be what they want us to be
I’m so tired of all these fractions
I’m so far from being whole
The missing piece is six feet underground
And I’ve lost all hope
The small-town punks are three-fourths
Those clearviews boys won’t ever be the same
Because you were the glue
That kept everyone together
She’s at just one half
And I know she hurt you
She loves you more than you know
And I don’t think she’ll recover
I know you weren’t whole
Living with a broken heart
You thought you were never enough
That’s a god damn lie
I’m so tired of all these fractions
I’m so far from being whole
The missing piece is six feet underground
And I’ve lost all hope
If I’m honest, I hold it against you
You wanted to make her hurt
To suffer for a hard decision
That’s not what love is
You don’t think that I don’t want to die
You don’t think that I feel it too
But I wouldn’t do that to mom or dad
And I would never do it to you
I’m so tired of all these fractions
I’m so far from being whole
The missing piece is six feet underground
And I’ve lost all hope
I’m so tired of these fucking fractions
I’m so far from being whole
The missing piece is six feet underground
And I’ve lost all hope
I stood at your graveside
And thought about how you died
I couldn’t leave
You will always be a piece of me.
I’m so tired of all these fractions
I’m so far from being whole
The missing piece is six feet underground
And I’ve lost all hope
I’m so tired of all these fractions

The End of Summer
04:07

|

Summer days fade away
And now it gets dark at seven
As the leaves turn brown and fall to the ground
I think I’ll be ok
Often I think I wish it’d stay this way forever
but like ponyboy says
“nothing gold can stay”
September brings the end of summer
And the start of me
I think I’ll be alright
At least ‘til spring
As I breathe in the autumn air
I’m getting myself back
And finally, I can wear my hoodie
It’s my true skin.
I hear high school football off in the distance
I hate that shit, but somehow its feels right
September brings the end of summer
And the start of me
I think I’ll be alright
At least ‘til spring
I’ve been cruising town
With the windows down
I feel connected to this place
Beauty is ephemeral
And that’s what makes it beautiful
It took me too long to learn that
So, for now I’ll make the most
Of this autumn gold
September brings the end of summer
And the start of me
I think I’ll be alright
At least ‘til spring

Bruised
02:52

|

I hate the way
That I can’t explain what you mean to me
You are a light in the dark
And yet you hurt me
Just like a bruise
Dull and persistent and painful to touch
Like a bruise
I would love for this all to end
But I can’t imagine life without you
So for now I’ll be bruised

Cascade
07:24
|
|

Everything cascades down
If it doesn’t let up soon I might drown
Kicking and flailing just to catch a breath
I’m trying so hard, but I’ve got nothing left
Everything cascades so I’ll close my eyes and drift away
Focus on the thing that got us here
