The ash burns my lips I wish I was a kid 15 cigarettes left on me Missing the reassurance that I need Staring at the floor I'm a mess and more Weekend after 15 I don't have the friends that I need Did I throw it all away Cold hands leave me here today I always somehow feel alone Is it me this time or the people who say they're home Coming home at 3 am It feels like something else And I know he knows My hands burn with his Drag me down I won't put up a fight I don't feel too strong cause I poisoned myself again Did I throw it all away Cold hands leave me here today I always somehow feel alone Is it me this time or the people who say they're home

Sand Goth 02:36
I don't wanna hold your hand You'd like it if I did I don't wanna sing to you Well this is nothing new I don't wanna just get high well I'm tired of all the jokes I don't wanna just get by well I'm slowly going broke x2 I hate looking at the sun this cheep beer has melted on my tongue I don't wanna get out of bed Why can't I just get drunk I don't wanna be with you I swear I'll have no fun I don't wanna say what I have behind my back I don't wanna just get by well It's more then what I've had I hate looking at the sun This cheap beer has melted on my tongue (solo) I hate looking at the sun this cheep beer has melted on my tongue

Tough Luck 03:05
I found myself running a muck I'm down to my last couple of bucks my future's looking really fucked and when I think I think about you and all the things we used to do and now I'm really fucking blue and I wasted all my time trying hard to make you mine not a lot to talk about but enough to think about, oh no I found myself running a muck I'm down to my last couple of bucks my future's looking really fucked (guitar solo) and I wasted all my time trying hard to make you mine not a lot to talk about but enough to think about, oh no I found myself running a muck I'm down to my last couple of bucks my future's looking really fucked (drum solo) and I wasted all my time trying hard to make you mine not a lot to talk about but enough to think about, oh no I found myself running a muck I'm down to my last couple of fucks my future's looking really fucked

waking up cold it's another day of coping with my self still getting old fading memories in horrible health id rather sleep drunk on the floor don't wake me up, I'm not sorry anymore I'm going blind to all the signs you gave me yesterday I'm uncomfortably fine but sadly i know it all ends the same fuck it cause I'm done being sad funny how I've ignored the things i had I used to, I lied too there's nothing i wanted more than to get better well I kinda figured out Well I've had no doubt (guitar solo) I feel so sick of losing so much sleep thinking of you wondering how I'm drowned in misery, didn't think things through it makes me happy to see you sad i keep forgetting I don't feel bad I used to, I lied too there's nothing I wanted more than to get better well I kinda figured out I've had no doubt

Nervous 03:20
do you feel nervous at all I'm not the only one thinking I'll fall pick me up and wipe me off I forgot to stop how do I deal with mistakes promises there and I'm feeling more fake too bad I'm trying my best the pressure built up on my chest I know I know I know so I'm sure that you know for years I've been working pretty low it's unsettling, too troubling to figure out what I know I know I know I know where did I go all those years I know I'm too scared to stay it'd feel much better to go away I know I know I know so I'm sure that you know for years I've been working pretty low it's unsettling, too troubling to figure out so I'm sure that you know for years I've been working pretty low it's unsettling, too troubling to figure out (insert oh's) so I'm sure that you know for years I've been working pretty low it's unsettling, too troubling to figure out so I'm sure that you know for years I've been working pretty low it's unsettling, too troubling to figure out what I know

Millionth I've heard this shit I'm bleeding from my ears, I call it quits they say losers are the ones that leave then I'm a fucking coward and a tease I don't say much when I'm out the door I'm sorry you think that I'm a fucking bore is it really all my fault like you say then hit me and fight me all night and day Kill me I wont go crazy for all I know your love is lazy I think I'm too dead with you I feel like my neck turns blue I don't say much when I'm out the door this can't be what everyone thinks they're waiting for I got myself into a fucking lie I don't know how hard to try this time

Post Prom 02:36
Hang overs post beer and post prom we're all a little dumb fake pictures in a white frame fake sunlight in and out of day open mouth but nothing to say I remember when I picked you up you were all by yourself in a red dress but you were too sad now we're here sharing this this cup of tiredness that was a month ago from now now you hear my name I told you once I felt the same x2
