who knows 02:39
tell me honestly, did it even cross your mind to pace yourself, to trust your instincts and hold yourself back to keep from failing well i can tell you now im not going down without a fight or some say in this ill let you know if ive lost interest all lack of self respect. in my room you're undressing. why must you be so condescending? you've been found out. i've my doubts regarding the future. you've skinny legs, short in stature. an early morning toke clears your head, dulls your senses. i ponder death, you crave attention. you have my attention. feral intentions and blatant disregard for anyone other than the two of us involved (i like to think that i'm courageous. i like to think that i'm a lot of things) i'll never be the man i was made to be. it happened out of loneliness and distorted sense of self all because we liked the way it felt just because we like the way it feels to fall apart now i think i see the person that you truly are

where was i when you needed me most? we left off on a bad note, cut ties, just grew apart. do you still think of me the way you thought of me last year? will you stay here til im old and you're old? til we die and rot inside a hole i'll reiterate "i shouldn't have let you go"

you cut your hair so all the boys would stare, well the joke here is on you you painted up your arms and thought you looked so strong but you don't even know what's happened to you. no, i don't know what happened to you. while i'm away you dress only to impress and now all the boys are staring at you you always get what you want, well is this what you wanted and are you pleased now that nobody glances at me?

trapped in a box pixelated conversations are all that we can have til we're dead in a box separate cages we'll call yours cambridge and we'll call mine whatever the fuck you'd like i doubt the sea would ever bring you to me but i guess that's why there are boats and things. and it's all we've got for now i don't know what time it is when you're waking up or you're drunk as shit but i'm high as hell as i'm writing this and i hope that you at least liked it? (wow)

knotty 02:54
There were knots in your hair when your mind wondered up through the cracks in a flower on a table cloth. your mind wandered off. there were holes in your pockets, there were fees. you know goddamn well that living ain't free. there were knots in your hair. you were much too young, they said. when they put you in the ground i had to look away. where have you been now? are you at least eating well? tell me theres a difference between heaven and hell. are there knots in your hair?

Illinois 04:48
no regrets radios blaring through the hospital a cigarette in your mouth sleep on the floor, you've let me down whisper soft "for what it's worth, i thought you were golden" at your birth your father commented on your hands, said that they would do great things some day. you've got big, big plans. you said "i feel like i did at 22, she was the last thing for me to lose" now you live in illinois teaching high school girls and boys but you still think of what you once had and how you can never get it back so hold on to all the people who claim to love you you'd find your peace in your religion or lying on your back in my kitchen what a shame it would be if your love had never shaken me if its grip had never met my throat what a shame it is i ever let you go
11.
i pray for north behind little lines you don't know what's good for you, don't you know? all you wanted was a dream all your own realized life apart from you is no life at all on second thought, this was neither of our faults last lifeline i let her too close but that's my own damn problem always let you too close i search for north behind all my lies i never know what's good for me, i don't know. all you wanted was a dream all your own realized life apart from you is no life at all second guess myself, guess this was all my fault
12.
if you need me i'll be in the ground buried with my bad jokes who's laughing now? my body decaying, proving, proclaiming we lost, what's done is done. maybe it's unhealthy how you're too skinny and i'm always right so place me where you want me i'll go where you ask me we'll still live beneath the same sun i've been trying to be someone who laughs at the sight of love we lost, what's done is done.

sway 03:14
you made up your mind nobody can sway you went about it all wrong now he's made his mark on you oh, my god where the hell were you? is it so wrong to doubt my faith in you? i've witnessed your love faltered in your absence i've no prayers for you or expectation of this lasting you say you know God but I don't see Him in you who am i to talk? i guess i never really knew you.
