i drink another one and try to shove this all into the alleys of my mind
it seems so cruel to drown these butterflies but that's how i've spent my night
they stick to the walls of my stomach and i'm acting like it's fine
that doesn't sound nearly as cute as i had planned it but i don't wanna rewrite it
oh no
i fucked up again
i said things that i shouldn't have
oh no
i'm spacing out
beginning to dream up all these doubts
oh no
i'm struggling to speak
without at least a few beers in me
oh no
maybe i've lost my self
whatever that means - what the hell?

you swore your heart was gonna pop
well i promise you yeah i promise that it's not
don't worry, i once felt the same
but i swallowed it down and found ways to numb that pain
it's unfortunate, what's obvious isn't always plain
but here i am again left in shame
does it matter do you?
does it matter to either of us?
and what could i do?
who is there left to trust?
this time you were certain of it
the end was nigh and anything said a lie
don't worry, i once felt the same
i'm not sure i've ever not felt this way
it's unfortunate, those were the cards we were dealt
yet here i am again, feeling swell
does it matter do you?
does it matter to either of us?
and what could i do?
who is there left to trust?

brought you home
no tail, abused bones
one wonky eye and all
i don't mind
you're scared
well so am i
i understand how it is
to be abandoned
you're a weird little guy
i hope you feel alright in this home of mine

hungry

i'm starving
i'm starving right now i'd bet
since i loved you
i loved you way back when
it was a daydream
to think that it could last
and now i'm pacing—the thoughts move way too fast
i'm hungry
i'm hungry for your company
and i wanted
to get a good night's rest
but the stars unfold sometimes, you'd say
the relationship between two points is a blurred line anyway
well i'm sorry,
i am sorry for how i act
i'm a big clumsy child
but things can't be taken back
sentiments are built to last

thrive

and after those walls were painted
those bloodstains all covered up
did anyone ever really think i'd
turn out to be anything but fucked?
and after the years of therapy
and the pills that were jammed inside of me
did anyone ever really think i'd
have such luck?
but here i am
twelve years later
stronger than ever
i will thrive
and here i am
and it's not perfect
but if that's what i sought
why would i even try?
and after i gave you that ultimatum
to please come home now or never
did anyone ever really think i'd
end up feeling so tough?
and after the police had come
and rummaged through my room for knives or guns
did anyone ever really think i'd
do this much?

i fell in love with you for the first time
drunk outside some dorm rooms
you came lookin' for me all concerned
and your head was backed by the soft glow
of campus street lights
a halo
i fell in love with you for the second time
it only took twenty steps or so
you went outside and yelled into the air
we took a bath, embraced, and felt new care
i understand why you're scared
i know
i fell in love with you for the third time
when we wrote on napkins in a restaurant
we went for a hike, a real long walk
and you cried in your driver's seat
but i want to be here
trust me
i fell in love with a few more times
talkin' late, feelin' fine
we would talk about some real dark moments
but it's alright, i don't mind it
i miss you
it's okay
