Bugs and Rats

there are bugs in my head
and they like to crawl around
and they make a lot of noise
when they crawl around
and the doctor says it goes away on its own
and the doctor says it goes away on its own
and the doctor says it goes away on its own
and the doctor says it goes away on its own
there are rates in my stomach
and they eat up all my food
i am full
but now im empty again
and the doctor says it goes away on its own
and the doctor says it goes away on its own
and the doctor says it goes away on its own
and the doctor says it goes away on its own
and the doctor says it goes away on its own
and the doctor says it goes away on its own
and the doctor says it goes away on its own
and the doctor says it goes away on its own

Stay Happy

i hope this feels
like a homecoming
not running away
running towards something
they say
you gotta be a light
to grow towards
but i just
wanna get it right
this time
don't remind me
of things that i've done
i remember
every single one
they say
you gotta be a light
to grow towards
but i just
wanna get it right this time
i think i could
stay happy here
i think i could
stay happy here!

i swear i never meant
a word i said for to you
who knows what happens next?
there's nothing i can do
but lay here in my bed all day
and wonder what went wrong
i don't have the guts to face
the reasons why you're gone
i think it's true
i'll never see you again
i'll never see you again
i'll never see you again
i'll never see you again
been locked up in this house all day
confined to just my room
and with my luck i'll go insane
this will become my tomb
oh, anything to ease the pain
i'll take your pictures off my wall
nothing more to lose and nothing left to gain
i will burn them all
i think it's true
i'll never see you again
i'll never see you again
i'll never see you again
i'll never see you again
i'll never see you again
i'll never see you again
i'll never see you again
i'll never see you again

Draft Saved

biting back my fingernails
to keep from clawing off my skin
cuz i let you in
i let you in
i let you in
i let you win
email drafts i'll never send
bullshit lines like
"can't wait to see you again"
but i can't pretend
i can't pretend
i can't pretend
like i'm on the mend
make the same mistake twice
that's okay i'll be just fine
if it feels right
how could it be wrong?
how could it be wrong?
if i'm alright
who knows what happens next
all i know is that i screenshot all of your texts
so i won't forget
i wont' forget
i won't forget
everything you said
nothing's holy anymore
inhale, exhale
and try to let it go
but i've been consumed
i've been consumed
i've been consumed
i'm in love with you
make the same mistake twice
that's okay i'll be just fine
if it feels right
if it feels right
if it feels right
if it feels right
if it feels right
how could it be wrong?
how could it be wrong?
if i'm alright

i can't be brave
to save my life
i'm just as scared of leaving
as i am of being left
i'll cut out my tongue
what is said is done

oh i'm a sucker
i'll believe in anything
i'm a sucker
i'll believe in anything

Em's Song

in the neon light of the casinos
she asks me if there's anyone i know
who's really happy
are ya really happy?
the parking garage is filled with ice
she stands on the ledge but i think twice
i hesitate
i hesitate
i feel like
im half awake
drive all night
oh my body aches
making all the same mistakes
still searching
for a better way
hide your pipe inside my house
so your mother won't find out
crowded bars and empty glances
giving people who don't need them
second chances
i feel like
im half awake
drive all night
oh my body aches
making all the same mistakes
still searching
for a better way

one shot to forget
and one more
to remember it
everything they said
i've been talking shit
and now i'm
in over my head
i wish i was dead
you're a bridge over
troubled water
did you forget
you're somebody's daughter
would they be proud of you
when they see you
being taken out to slaughter?
grind your teeth until
your mouth can
only be empty
well at least you're happy
tell me truthfully
even if words
don't come easily
do you still like me?
you're a bridge over
troubled water
did you forget
you're somebody's daughter
would they be proud of you
when they see you
being taken out to slaughter?

i won't stop until i bleed
i won't stop until i bleed
all i have are skinned knees
all i need are skinned knees
pick i pick till it scars
put my brain in a jar
i want everyone to see
how i've destroyed all of me
i'm sorry that i never call
i'm sorry that i never write
but i just wanted you to know
i think about you all the time
save your breath and walk away
im a risk you shouldn't take
fire hazards all around
disregard those sleeping sound
i'm sorry that i didn't try
i should've stayed and picked a fight
i know it doesn't matter but
i think about you all the time

im sacred i'll oversleep
i'm scared that i'll miss out
i'm scared i'll crash my car
i'm scared that i won't die
oh i'll go on and on
oh i'll just press repeat
i'm scared that i won't die
i'm scared that i won't die
forget my name
forget my face
go someplace warm
go far away
it doesn't hurt
if you don't think
don't give it space
don't let it grow
i'm scared i'll oversleep
i'm scared that i'll miss out
i'm scared i'll crash my car
i'm scared that i won't die
oh i'll go on and on
oh i'll just press repeat
i'm scared that i won't die
i'm scared that i won't die

Hurt My Own Feelings

i wanna kiss you at the party
but i don't wanna make a scene
it's just that i get so nervous
when you stand this close to me
but when we all start to laugh
i'm not the one
you're looking at
fall asleep and overthink
everything you are to me
convince myself it's something else
and not to worry
i'm starting now to realize
i hold my tongue everytime
never saying anything
but i'm still wanting you
there's something
underneath the surface
and it's getting hard to breathe
my mind is filled with all these questions
blasting on repeat
but when i get up the nerve
you've already turned to leave
fall asleep and overthink
everything you are to me
convince myself it's something else
and not to worry
i'm starting now to realize
i hold my tongue everytime
never saying anything
but i'm still wanting you
wanting youuuuuuuuuu
whoaohhhhh

Long Way Home

i will leave without
saying anything
walk home alone
and turn all the lights off
but will ya meet me there?
when i run out of air
oh would you notice i'm gone?
oh would you tell me you care?
i just wanna be closer to you
so close that i am afraid to move
would you feel less lonely too?
i can't eat right
but my body's just fine
so i think that it's gotta be
something wrong
with my mind
and all the food
that i buy
rots away
while i
wait for things
to get bad enough
to justify
asking someone to stay
until i fall asleep
until i breathe easy
tell me it's okay
to feel this way
you
i just wanna be closer to you
so close that i am afraid to move
would ya feel less lonely too?
you
i just wanna be closer to you
so close that i am afraid to move
would ya feel less lonely too?
oh, you
i just wanna be closer to you
so close that i am afraid to move
would ya feel less lonely too?

there is a wanting thing
that lives inside of me
and when it starts to grow
that's when i know to go
my cheeks will start to burn
my tongue begins to swell
filled with all the things
i swear i'd never tell
i swear i'd never tell
i swear i'd never tell
give to me
everything
that you fear
keeps you here
i'll make it mine
give me time
it'll disappear
i'll disappear
i wanna have control
to be completely mine
okay with comfortable
but never satisfied
i'm never satisfied
i'm never satisfied
give to me
everything
that you fear
keeps you here
i'll make it mine
give me time
it'll disappear
i'll disappear
i'll disappear
