there's a civil war raging inside of me
i've heard this before, it's all the same to me
don't know what's in store, minus some casualties
i know i wanted more, for myself to be
over this civil war
but i'd miss the civil war
because it's comfortable, the words you never said
the bullets shooting by my head
it's comfortable, the words i always read
the constant wishing i was dead
maybe one day i'll have a little victory
don't think i'm asking for much, just keep my sanity
it's overwhelming but what do you want from me?
i'm just a tired kid, finally figured out that i'm
over this civil war
but i'd miss the civil war
because it's comfortable, the words you never said
the bullets shooting by my head
it's comfortable, the words i always read
the constant wishing i was dead
i'm over this
i'm over this
i'm over this
i'm over this
I'M OVER THIS
I'M OVER THIS
I'M OVER THIS
I'M OVER THIS

fighting to stay busy so my thoughts quit drifting away
caught up in the motions of pretending everything is great
i don't wanna sleep in my own bed tonight
please don't try to tell me everything will be all right
running away won't make everything okay
running away didn't help you stay
i don't know why these words don't write themselves anymore
finding time to do the things we used to adore
sleep outside under the stars at night and stare at the sky
to feel all right until tomorrow's dread sets in all over again
all over again
all over again
i don't know why these words don't write themselves anymore
finding time to do the things we used to adore
sleep outside under the stars at night and stare at the sky
to feel all right until tomorrow's dread sets in

dead book (live)

i want my mind to stay sane
tired of playing these games
don't know where i am gonna go
don't know things i'm supposed to know
i hate to break it to ya, darlin'
i just can't keep following
the rules
i've been trapped for too long
where i don't belong
and you
covered your mouth and gasped, but that's the whole point
i'm just too damn good at wearing this mask
who said, "do this, and think that!"
who said just follow the map?
you think that life will happen through a dead book
i'm not one of them
you never took a closer look
don't think you ever heard me calling
all that's left for me is falling
hate to break it to you, darling
i just can't keep following
the rules
i've been trapped for too long
where i don't belong
and you
covered your mouth and gasped, but that's the whole point
i've been praying, i've been crying
don't see anything knocking on my door
i've been seeking, i've been screaming wondering if anybody hears me anymore
don't think you ever heard me calling
all that's left for me is falling
hate to break it to you, darling
i just can't keep following
the rules
i've been trapped for too long
where i don't belong
and you
covered your mouth and gasped, but that's the whole point
i'm just too damn good at wearing this mask

24?! (live)

by 24 i thought i'd have at least some sort of fucking grasp on reality
my thoughts keep slipping through my mind and weathered hands like fine sand at Folly Beach
these extra bones and traumatized body compromised to gift me with resiliency
i need
joints rolled perfectly
an orgasm (or three)
affordable therapy in this godforsaken country
escape to sleep in the trees
somewhere on the Georgia AT
numb like Chester describes
i hope we rest in peace
i don't give a fuck about more money
i don't want to work my joints to dust for pennies
plans change and re-arrange daily
go deeper down the drain continually
set your tired mind free
scrolling through all these fucking feeds
constantly searching for dopamine
distracted by archived memories
grieve the loss of you and me
silently

bleep out 'goddamn' on the radio
"In God We Trust" is a fucking joke
where lies separation of church and state?
land of grand ignorance, home of blind rage
every single human deserves equality
a place to sleep, food to eat, clean water to drink
is it really that radical?

chapped lips (live)

i would love to thrift some clothes that fit me due to my weight fluctuating lately
chronic pain from strange offenders, sadness deepens mid-September
dry, cracked skin breaks out with any helpful lotion
chapped lips no matter how many times i coat them
i tried to put some thoughts to paper
maybe later i won't come up short
poorly pretending the creativity inside of me
has not come to an end
pull me out of my drowning sea
of the mindset that everything is temporary
i'm trying to appreciate what's in front of me
dry, cracked skin breaks out with any helpful lotion
chapped lips no matter how many times i coat them
i tried to put some thoughts to paper
maybe later i won't come up short
poorly pretending the creativity inside of me
has not come to an end

who we weren't (live)
04:18
|
|

|
i am my own ghost
haunting memories of what i loved most
i gave the wrong people the right pieces of me
oh, what we could be!
if we stopped carrying
remains of who we were
and thoughts of who we weren't
i've weathered many storms
and washed myself ashore
re-writing headlines and re-defining
'cause where i'm going is not where i've been
oh, what we could be!
if we stopped carrying
remains of who we were
and shadows of who we weren't
oh, there's nothing romantic about drowning yourself
so pick up your pieces
and lay them on the shelf
not forgotten
but you're no longer a slave
to how they made you feel
about what you gave
oh, what we could be!
if we stopped carrying
remains of who we were
and disappointments of who we weren't
who we weren't
