Problems

I have a pimple coming in and my friends hate my guts
I think I'm having fun but really I have had enough
Does it bother anybody else that it doesn't bother me at all
So small, but one day I'll crawl up and I won't fall
My problems, they phase me
But I cover them so easily
Needless to say
Unlike you I won't run away
I've heard three stories all are different and all come from you
My friends say that's too much but to me it's only a few
Too much of everything and not enough of something else
Get help, or I can help you help myself get out
My problems, they phase me
But I cover them so easily
Needless to say
Unlike you I won't run away

I'm trying
To get over you
But that's a brick wall
I can't run through
You remind me of
How much I mess shit up
Which is nice because
I don't think about it enough
I'm blacking out
And losing control
My body's now
Under your spell
You are a witch
I am a clown
Let's burn together
This whole world down
Catastrophe
You're at it again
You really are
My only friend
A big mistake
To assume I'm safe
I want the truth
But I'm too fake
You are the
Bee inside my
Car that makes me
Want to crash
I am the
Bug that bothers
You and makes you think
Fuck the Earth
I'm spiraling
Right to my grave
Thanks for always
Letting me be your slave
I had some fun
So I can say
I'm glad I fell
For you in a
I'm trying
To get over you
But that's a brick wall
I can't run through
You remind me of
How much I mess shit up
Which is nice because
I don't think about it enough
I'm blacking out
And losing control
My body's now
Under your spell
You are a witch
I am a clown
Let's burn together
This whole world down

Relapse

Baby blue eyes and bracelet
My biggest weakness
I like your little smile
It makes me feel good
It's reassuring
Knowing you don't know
Conversation getting boring
Oh don't ignore me
It's the thrill of the chase I know
But it's still a blood rush
Insecurities taking over
Further than I thought I would make it
Baby blue eyes and bracelet
I fucking hate you
And your little smile
Ruins my day
I really thought that
You weren't like this
Relationships getting boring
Oh I'm so sorry
It's the thrill of the chase I know
But it's still a blood rush
Insecurities taking over
Further than I thought I would make it
Having zero self worth really
Can come in handy when you
Want to get rid of one of
The greatest things
That have ever happened
Cause I thought you were cool
But it was just clearly
A side effect
Of me blinded by beauty
I can't explain
Why I fall so easily
But I'm getting stronger
Hazel green eyes and short skirt
My biggest weakness
And your funny t-shirt
Makes me feel good
It's reassuring knowing you don't know
Conversation getting boring
Oh don't ignore me
It's the thrill of the chase I know
But it's still a blood rush
Insecurities taking over
Further than I thought I would make it

You're my hammerhead shark
And I'll tell you exactly why
If I tried to play with you
Then I would probably die
You'd eat me alive and swallow me whole
Make sure that you are in control
Throw me in your tank and we can swim around
I'm so afraid of you so I will not be scared to drown
I fed you live bait so you gotta appreciate
All the work I've done to keep you from hating me
Cause you are the bottle
And I am the lid
I'm screwed on to you
I'm your containment
I'm all uptight
So you don't spill
If I'm weak and you leak
There's no more refills no
I self diagnosed my OCD
Cause three letter words really bother me
I'll cross my eyes until I become blind
And cross faded thoughts of you enter my mind
It's been almost a year and I'm still standing here
Right where you left me no place I would rather be
Three dots in a bubble give me panic attacks
But good for you it's your final payback yeah
Cause you are the bottle
And I am the lid
I'm screwed on to you
I'm your containment
I'm all uptight
So you don't spill
If I'm weak and you leak
There's no more refills
I'm the STD for your virginity
It's not irony -- it's just you and me
On our wedding day, you'll say that you're gay
And you'll move away, but I'll just stay
Right in the same spot and it's getting hot
Because I thought about how we fought
Over stupid shit, but I miss it
I don't wanna quit, I don't wanna quit
I don't wanna quit, I don't wanna quit
I don't wanna quit, I don't wanna quit
I don't wanna quit, I don't wanna quit
I don't wanna quit, I don't wanna quit no

Obsession
02:38
|

Thanks for telling me to enjoy the rest of my life
I was starting to think that you just didn't care how I feel
But now I'm glad cause at least I know where you stand
And since it's not next to me I'll plan my final stand alone
Yeah of course I've moved on what'd you expect?
For me to just sit and wait for you to change your mind
Cause fuck that, I don't have the time
At least your heart still beats
Cause that's better than mine
Wait I'm sorry but you need to go back to that
Did you just say that you're the one who thinks they're under attack
While I was, waiting and waiting and waiting for you to make your move
Time's up, now I finally get to say you lose
I'm a jerk and you're cool I know that
You broke me with your traps like I'm a rat
Your personality like this chord is flat
Sorry I'm done with all this stupid chitchat
Relaxing
I need therapy
Just to force you
Out of my body
Just a common cold
That's how you started
But now you're a cancer
Spreading to my heart and
Pretty soon you'll be stuck in my head
And I'll remember all the stupid things I said
Look in the cabinet to get some more meds
Cause I need either you or them or I'll be dead
You're a risk that I can no longer take
I wish I could just love you when I'm awake
But for now in my dreams will have to make
Do, cause fuck that, I'm finally over you
I'm addicted yeah I need more of you
You know I'm not lying well at least your name is true
I know you're an unhealthy obsession
It's just hard living in this world when
You no longer have your favorite possession
I'm addicted yeah I need more of you
You know I'm not lying well at least your name is true
I know you're an unhealthy obsession
It's just hard living in this world when
I'm addicted yeah I need more of you
You know I'm not lying well at least your name is true
I know you're an unhealthy obsession
You were my favorite possession oooooo

Childhood

When I was younger
I was afraid of meteors
Now one thing I'm frightened by
Is becoming a corporate whore
When I was in 7th grade
I listened to Nirvana
Now they're telling me grow up
But I don't wanna
When I was younger
I wanted fame and fortune
Now I'm older and I'm trying
But it's pain and it is torture
When I was in 1st grade
I thought I needed a wife
Now I am an adult
And I need a life
These crooks are in my thoughts again
And why they're back I can't explain
I don't think that they wanna talk
I think they want a piece -- of my brain
Now that I'm older
I finally feel protected
Or maybe when I grew up
I gave up and defected
When I went to private school
I wore their tacky uniforms
It felt weird matching all of them
I guess that's why I can't conform
I wanted to be in Teen Titans
I wanted to be in Kids Next Door
But now I'm old and all alone
Cause my dreams aren't with me anymore
One time I had a goldfish
His name was Speed Racer
When he died he went down the drain
And I said see you later
These crooks are in my thoughts again
And why they're back I can't explain
I don't think that they wanna talk
I think they want a piece -- of my brain
These crooks are in my thoughts again
And why they're back I can't explain
I don't think that they wanna talk
I think they want a piece -- of my brain

Escape

I hate you
I hate your guts
Half the things you do
You only do to drive me nuts
I miss you
But that’s a lie
Cause every time I think
About you a part of me dies
Oh how
You’re ruined reality
I love the time I spent with you
But I hate the memories
I try to hide
But thoughts of you find a way through
I’m just one in a million
Stranded on a raft for two
But I can make room for you
You're under my skin
But now it's grown thin
Once you get out
You can't get back in
You silenced my mouth
Yeah your lips are duct tape
You tied me with your words but now
I can escape
I start to ponder while I wander down an empty road
Will I be better off without having your feeding hand to hold
Emptiness looks pretty nice because it cannot make a sound
I wander down an empty road and hope that hope will soon be found
Destroying my
Lungs is relaxing
Cause I hate the fresh air
Life is so taxing
The thought of therapy
Threatens my sanity
Blink a little slower
So you’ll see what you do to me
And then will you please just leave
You're under my skin
But now it's grown thin
Once you get out
You can't get back in
You silenced my mouth
Yeah your lips are duct tape
You tied me with your words but now
I can escape
I just wish that you’d hate me too
Tell me I’m free now please
You're under my skin
But now it's grown thin
Once you get out
You can't get back in
You silenced my mouth
Yeah your lips are duct tape
You tied me with your words but now
I can escape
I can escape
I can escape
I can escape

You can throw me away
I’m your garbage man
You were a mess I could clean
At least that was the plan
Thinking of you makes me bored
Living has become a chore
You meant the world to me
But I didn’t know what you meant
I wish that I could say
I didn’t care at all
Why did you have to go
When I needed you most
It’s tough living life
When you’re not feeling tall
I wish that I was above you
I think it’s hard to think about you anymore
My head hurts more than the day you slammed the door
Right in my face but it’s my fault I was out of place
And I’m over it now can’t you see I’m doing great
You’re like carbon dioxide to me
Cause too much of you is really unhealthy
But without you I cannot breathe
This is how I try and get you out of my heart
I wish I could just make more of you
Then you’ll be absorbed by the trees
Then I’ll fall to my knees
And I’ll try and take you back
I wish that I could say
I didn’t care at all
Why did you have to go
When I needed you most
It’s tough living life
When you’re not feeling tall
I wish that I was above you
I wish that I could say
I didn’t care at all
Why did you have to go
When I needed you most
It’s tough living life
When you’re not feeling tall
I wish that I was above you

Postcard

I miss when we’d
Cut class together, it wouldn’t de-
Pend on the weather I could
I could always count on you not being there
Whether it was
Raining or sunny you thought my
Stupid hat was funny and I could
I could pretend you understood what I meant
And that’s because
Something is wrong with my everything
Look at all the unhappiness it brings
I know cause I’m one of them too
(You’re just like me, I’m just like)
You are running your own train
And I’m tied to the rails cause I’m insane
And you’re on track to kill me again
(This time I hope it’s the last time)
You said I should
Wait for you next semester but I had
Already been festered by all the
Bullshit and lies you spewed at me
So I
Couldn’t wait much longer I tried
Getting much stronger but you
Still had the hold on me
And that’s because
Something is wrong with my everything
Look at all the unhappiness it brings
I know cause I’m one of them too
(You’re just like me, I’m just like)
You are running your own train
And I’m tied to the rails cause I’m insane
And you’re on track to kill me again
(This time I hope it’s the last time)
Building a bridge just wasn’t enough
I thought I could just pass over the rough times
And I would be in the green
But from
Running in circles I have
Finally come full circle
And from the outside
I can see I’m stuck in between
And that’s because
Something is wrong with my everything
Look at all the unhappiness it brings
I know cause I’m one of them too
(You’re just like me, I’m just like)
You are running your own train
And I’m tied to the rails cause I’m insane
And you’re on track to kill me again
(This time I hope it’s the last time)
I want to
Write you a postcard I know it
Doesn’t sound like it’s that hard
But I can never get past your name
I don’t know why
So maybe I’ll
Carve it in stone one night
When I am all alone
And it’ll be stuck there
Until the day that I die
