I was sitting on the curb Thick aired night Trying to hunt down my own breath Buzzing lights I was insecure, I was on the run I was in my head, you were on my mind I fell into it, I was broken for good I couldn’t care if anything rhymed again I wanna see the world some more Dead leaves pass I think I gotta quit my job Shattered glass I was insecure, I was on the run I was in my head, you were on my mind I fell into it, I was broken for good I couldn’t care if anything rhymed again My friends deserve more than this Screeching breaks I’m fortunate and I should feel that way Breath in take I was insecure, I was on the run I was in my head, you were on my mind I fell into it, I was broken for good I couldn’t care if anything rhymed again Silent auditoriums Stirring laps around the block Sneaking pass the hallway Trying to avoid any talks Leaning drunk against the house In a daze outside Getting in my head and overwhelmed With myself as a child I was in my head I was insecure, I was on the run I was in my head, you were on my mind I fell into it, I was broken for good I couldn’t care if anything rhymed again

I’m still up late I hope you’ve stayed the same I look up out the window for an hour For our love I’d hold our sleep I’d hope you’d never leave I wake up cold Together all alone Alone. All Alone Whenever I’m awake You’ll Never be the same My eyes fall shut I’d wait for hours because You’re worth the while I dream of you sometimes Times. You sometimes But whenever I’m awake You’ll never be the same As the dreams grow tired They just become old reminders As the dreams grow tired They just become old reminders I wake up fate My dreams are yours to take I close my eyes I wake up just in time

Well I got a new apartment It’s lit up to the brim I found love with an angel Who’s been living off of sin Have you seen the sketch I sent to you Since then I’ve been away I’ve been up and down the country Since our father hit the grave I suppose you saw the Letters I wrote inscribed to Oh, Theo Theo, Theo. It’s time you wrote Theo, Theo It’s been a harsh and thoughtful summer But my mind is waring thin I feel the light has cast foreshadows Of darker stages flooding in And there’s time where my age makes me sad From lack of love and what I earn But I’ll become less of a burden And you’ll be proud to share my worth I suppose you saw the Letters I wrote inscribed to Oh, Theo Theo, Theo. It’s time you wrote Theo, Theo Like winter comes for autumn This illness comes for me But I trade it fields and stars And all the colours in between I won’t forget your patience But will they remember me? ‘Cause my loneliness keeps asking if it’s worth the suffering

Tried to catch a glimpse A sort of sign a form of hint A sight of what I’ve seen Despite of what’s become a dream It’s been some broken years since Oh the slow decline of us But now that I’ve looked up I’ve only noticed that for some It falls easy. Worth the fatal crash I was finding signs that love wouldn’t take me back Fading’s easy. Worlds afraid to last I was finding signs that love wouldn’t take me back Photographs of it Plastered up on everything “Have you seen this life?” Has it faded from your eyes? Been some sheltered years since All the damage left of us Am I unworthy of What everyone has found cause Love, It falls easy Worth a fatal crash I was finding signs that love wouldn’t take me back Fading’s easy Worlds afraid to last I was finding signs that love wouldn’t take me back

Honestly, fuck you I’m tired And I wanna go home Just give me a shower to lie down in And take hold of my phone Got your call on a rainy day Just by chance, I guess it usually rains there My world didn’t end but the sky was slowly falling down I stepped out from the liquor store Woke up on the bedroom floor I’m not being dramatic just on tour there’s not much room for us all Honestly, fuck you I’m tired And I wanna go home Just give me a shower to lie down in And take hold of my phone Honestly, thank you for trying Although your pep talk won’t work I just need to gather all my memories And burn ones that hurt Couldn’t sleep for a couple days Sang sad songs on every stage I was drunk spinning out but my band members forgive me now I was sun shining through the clouds Just a pleasure to be around I love being sarcastic just on tour there’s not much room for it all Honestly, fuck you I’m tired And I wanna go home Just give me a shower to lie down in And take hold of my phone Honestly, thank you for trying Although your podcast is shit I just need to catalogue my memories And burn ones like this Honestly, thank you for trying

I’m impossibly incredibly alone I’m an ocean width away I’m the last echo I’m six feet below my own shadow I’m impossibly incredibly alone I won’t endlessly entirely unfold I’ve committed to a doubt that I won’t feel whole What if I lost all control filled impossibly incredibly with hope? What if I lost all control Filled impossibly incredibly with hope? I’m six feet below my own shadow Filled impossibly incredibly with hope
