A Beautiful Wreck

sometimes you catch me falling
sometimes i can’t believe
but most days i just wonder
most days i wait and see
there must be some way to figure out
some way to make you see
and the times you catch a glimpse of hope
are when i can barely breathe
we only lose when we don’t choose
and suffer fools in time
all day long i think about
how i can take whats mine
“essential” is subjective
but whats really in a name?
we kick and fight till the morning light
and we do it all again
fake right and hold on tight again
we’ll be a beautiful wreck my friend
its seems to be confusing what want
vs what we need
an entitled sense of recompense
or independancy
i can’t help but object
cause i don’t set the status quo
i can only be the one who always
looking out below
fake right and hold on tight again
we’ll be a beautiful wreck my friend
fake right and hold on tight again
hold on cause everything will end
take time and try to listen in
we’ll be a beautiful wreck my friend

The Shores of Relapse
04:03

I woke up on the shores of relapsing
blinding sun and a long ride
I’ll pack up all the skills that I lack
Never did get the landing to stick
And i’ll look down to the last time
that I lost all self control
never felt so sentimental
passing out on the side of road
I’ll be looking for you in the quiet of the night
(Looked down, alone all my life)
Now daisy’s asking you "just come and dance with me”
(I’ll be) down to take you up on that offer now
All my friends dishing out the distractions
(like "just this once for nostalgia")
I’ll fend off all my watchful reactions
(I’ll never reveal you my tricks)
And i’ll look down to the last time
that I lost all self control
never felt so sentimental
passing out on the side of road
I’ll be looking for you in the quiet of the night
(Looked down, alone all my life)
Now daisy’s asking you "just come and dance with me”
(I’ll be)
Don’t know how feel it don’t know how be here
don’t know what you want before you throw me away
I see you’re above it it’s important to love it
bad enough that you gut me and you throw me away
How are you dealing do you think that you’ve beat it
Did you hit that glass ceiling when you threw me away
you know that you owe me it’s feels like you’re floating
in time you can grow and then you throw me away
Yeah this will be my last hurrah
this will be my last time
yeah i swear its true and i
won’t give in since last time
‘less you want me to and i
double crossed my
self but i’d stop for you
What in the world is going on
(I’ve pushed it so far from my mind)
Conflicted resolution
(Kicking the bottle when it’s empty)
we can act like nothings wrong
(it takes a match to light the lantern)
and that’s exactly when i
look down to the last time
that I lost all self control
never felt so sentimental
passing out on the side of road
I’ll be looking for
you in the quiet of the night at the end of my rope
(Looked down, alone all my life)
Now daisy’s asking you "just come and dance with me”
I’ll be down to take you up on that offer now
I’ll be so good won’t you agree
It feels so good to me yeah
I’ll be the one to set you free
I’ll be the best you’ve ever seen.

I'm Just a Nobody

I’m just a nobody I’m coming clean No one could tell me I’m fine
but i’ve rated lower than you’ve ever seen Please don’t me waste your time
Daring to dream but afraid to be real your working to not let it die
to hell with everyone the hell with unity the hell with trying to try
Yeah they numb you up and it’s easy to be
bent over beat down and drained
hold on tight for the rest of the night
and never say you’re feeling plain
so we run and we run and forget who we are
we all look so good on a screen
but when you choose your moments and pick your best light
you script your own tragedy
so we waste no time with a make believe life
and inflate every detail we see
still you know the best now that it’s off your chest
you’re nobody who’s coming clean
your hardships and failures all done up in lights
are no more than mediocrity
5 days of work and a homemade chicken wrap
are nothing we needed to see
Now you’re anxious and stressed and becoming depressed
as you fight to be famous from home
and we stay up at night under blue glowing light
and count little hearts on a phone
so we run and we run and forget who we are
we all look so good on a screen
but when you choose your moments and pick your best light
you script your own tragedy
so we waste no time with a make believe life
and inflate every detail we see
still you know the best now that it’s off your chest
you’re nobody who’s coming clean
my name is no one
i’m special and better and bigger and faster
and damn i’m amazing
i’m in love with myself and i'll shout it out loud
you’re a putz if you’re not just like me
yeah money and looks can be one for the books
if you’re born into fortune and ease
but being yourself when you’re not raised with wealth’s
like investing in the lottery
so we run and we run and forget who we are
we all look so good on a screen
but when you choose your moments and pick your best light
you script your own tragedy
so we waste no time with a make believe life
and inflate every detail we see
still you know the best now that it’s off your chest
you’re nobody who’s coming clean
