I listened to a collection of sad songs and cried myself to sleep again last night. I watched them fade away. It wasn't the first time and I swear that it won't be the last time, That I watch them fade away. I dreamed of us again, and it drained me of any hope I had left. I don't want to see it anymore. Love affair I dreamed up in my head.

I heard you cried yourself to sleep when I moved away. I was in a state of emergency. I wasn't meant to stay in this god forsaken town with a southern breeze. Time can change everything. I've spent too many nights getting drunk on red wine, trying to find solace in anything. I've spent too many nights getting fucked on red wine trying to find solace in anything. I don't sleep anymore. I just move around above the sheets, try to find comfort in misery. The weight of moving constantly is finally catching up to me. I'll find comfort in the pain, I've heard the summers always good for that.

Small Talk 02:18
Well, what the fuck am I doing with myself? I must be running out of places to hide. And I'm so sorry I can't deal with your problems right now, I'm busy working on mine. I don't have the patience. I don't have the time. I'll be busy working on answers while you're stuck wasting time. I can be your worst friend. Can I just stay silent? A few more seconds of this. Can I just stay silent? I've had a hard time. I've been a miserable shit. It's just hard for me to care. So, I'll lock myself in my room and wait for all of my old friends to call me and tell me they hate themselves too.

Ravenstone 02:17
What's written on your ravenstone, engraved in the brick, Loving Mother and Wife? Wipe those tears away. Don't let me catch them streaming down your face. Well let me tell you. Just let me tell you. That I'm praying for the best, but hoping for the worst.

Easy Answers 01:25
I've been painting pictures trying to figure out, just why you left so quickly. And I'm coming up short. I've got no answers to these questions that I keep asking. Like, maybe things will change. We'll find some answers to these questions. I'm just tired of watching my friends cry themselves to sleep. What am I supposed to think? I've heard more friends tell me they would rather die than live in 2013.

A Way Out 03:19
Stay with me. Stay with me. Follow my own dirty fears Away from here. Away from here. Close the door. Wipe your tears. And maybe one day we might finally find a way out of here. Shattered light bulbs and dirty mirrors, a stained blood floorboard. They've been here a couple years. There's a place in my head that I'll find myself. Light it up Light it up Light it up. In hopes to calm your nerves. In hopes to find a way out of here. Sunset, Sunset, I watched you tear apart this ship, as you set yourself apart from the rest. My Sunset. Stay with me. Stay with me. Follow my own dirty fears Away from here.

Imperfect 03:12
What if I told you I meant nothing by it? Just a few mistakes strewn together in all the wrong ways. Just take a picture and throw it back in my face. What if I told you I meant nothing by it? Just a few words on paper.
