Back at school I always wanted to be free again
Back at home I always wanted the night to end
What's the point of living a life when your dreams are dead
Always being kicked down by close doors
Always lying face down on the floor
When will it be the time for my life to begin
I can't sit here waiting for someone to take me away
Take me to Southside to live my life in rhythm and bits of confetti
And then Park Avenue if these plans come through
The way that we've always wanted them to
And now that our time has just begun we can say we've become someone
Now our time has finally come to this
Go to Southside, that's my final wish
Wishing on another stupid dream to be where they've been seen
Stuck in this town made of ABC’s
Little kids in soccer jerseys
Can't you see how little this town really means to me
I can't sit here waiting for someone to take me away
Southside to live my life in rhythm and bits of confetti
And then park avenue if these place come through
The way we've always wanted them to
And now that our time has just begun, we can say we've become someone
I can't sit here waiting for someone to take me away
I can't sit here waiting for someone to take me, take me away
Southside, to live my life in rhythm and bits of confetti
Park Avenue if these plans come through
the way that we've always wanted them to
And now that our time has just begun, we can say we've become someone

It's 6:30 in the evening
All I've done is watch the tv
Counting away the time gone by as I sat back listening
And I've run out of excuses I said I'd be there at three
But with all this distant memories I don't think you'll see me at all
And I know all I’ve done is disappoint you
Time after time as the days go by I'm so damn sorry
I know all I've done is hurt and hurt you
Day after day although I try it never ends at all
But I promise one day you'll turn up the volume
and you’ll hear me pour my heart out on that stage
But I promise one day you'll finally feel proud of me
and I won't be ashamed anymore
Half an hour has gone by and the hands still haven't moved
Time is just a mystery and all I see is numbers
Laughing at me and taunting me
For everything I am and all that I hope to be
I’m one apology, I am
I know all I've done is disappoint you
Time after time as the days go by I'm so damn sorry
I know all I’ve done is hurt and hurt you
Day after day although I try it never ends at all
But I promise one day you'll turn up the volume
And you’ll hear me pour my heart out on that stage
But I promise one day you'll finally feel proud of me
And I won't be ashamed anymore
But I promise one day you'll turn up the volume
and you’ll hear me pour my heart out on that stage
But I promise one day you'll finally feel proud of me
And I won't feel ashamed anymore

Note to Self (Peaches)

Now I've got nothing to say
No, I've got no story to tell
See this song is going nowhere
Yeah it's going straight to --
Well none of my problems were valid
But it's not like it mattered no nobody cares
And I'm so sick of sappy ballads
And it's not like you matter when did anyone care
And that's okay
‘Cause at least I got it out of my system now
And I'm okay
Turns out this was all I needed anyhow
Maybe I'm just a second choice
But honey that's such a tired voice
And I'm sick of hearing what you have to say
Be a peach: get out of my fucking way now
See I was never worth anything
And that sucks to say but I guess it's true
No I never deserved a single thing
Now I don't know how to prove myself to you
And that's okay, I'm not knocked down
Because at least I got it out of my system now
And I'm okay, don't fool yourself
Turns out this was all I ever needed anyhow
Maybe I'm just a second choice
Honey, that's such a tired voice
I'm sick of hearing what you have to say
Be a peach: get out of my fucking way now
It's like you thought you mattered to me
Like you thought I ever gave a damn
It's like you thought you mattered to me
But how could I ever have given a damn
Maybe I'm just a second choice
But honey, that's such a tired voice
And I'm sick of hearing what you have to say
Be a peach: get out of my fucking way now
Maybe I'm just a second choice
Honey, that's such a tired voice
And I'm sick of hearing what you have to say
I'm so sick of what you have to say

I can not breathe when you say good bye
I can not sleep when you say good night
The fact that you're leaving me startles me awake
And I don't know why
You said that you would stay
You said that you would come
You told me you would be there for me
I don't see your face anymore
I can not do this on my own
I need you by my side but things have changed
You've gone away thinking I'd be ok
Here I stand all alone weakened by your words again
You say you love oh oh
Yet you leave me oh no
You don't want this I can see
Yet you keep coming back to me
Why do you keep playing me
Knowing I'll play along
And I'll let go of this tight rope
But you won't be there when I fall
No you won't be there when I fall
There’s blood on my hands
But I don't know if it's mine or yours
I've done some things I never dreamed of
But you pushed me to the edge
You left me defenseless I had no choice
I had to solve this on my own
I don't know how to cope with the pain
I'm breaking from within
You act like it's so simple
But it's not that easy to let go
But it's not the same with me
I'm learning how to fly
I hope to see you again
I know it will never happen
Yet I still wait for you to call
You say you love oh oh
Yet you leave me oh no
You don't want this I can see
Yet you keep coming back to me
Why do you keep playing me
Knowing I'd play along
And I'll let go of this tight rope
But you won't be there when I fall
No you won't be there when I fall
Yet here I stand on the edge
Knowing that I have lost
This is the end I know it is
I hope you're happy now
I'll just pretend that you're at the end
Oh you will be there when I fall
Oh you will be there when I fall
You say you love me oh oh
Yet you leave me oh no
You say you love me oh oh
Yet you leave me oh no

Go back to the ones you so call friends
Keep telling yourself it's not you it's them
takes two to build a house and one to tear it down
Don't expect me to pick up the bricks or else I'll throw them at your face
If we're being honest it'd be an improvement
I can't stand the sight of you any longer
It's time to cut you out so I guess this is my goodbye
Here’s a middle finger to everything you ever pushed my way
Here's a middle finger to what wakes you up every single day
I know I’m messed up beyond saving
But honey you created the monster you're seeing
So don't take it to personally
Just drink hemlock or go into exile
Put a fork in the toaster and watch the sparks fly
I can't stand the snarky look in your eye
You're still stuck in 1995 that's not a huge surprise
Taken in fact that you're a bit clueless
And always talking shit when
You're just the shit stains on the bottom of my shoe
I hope you hear this on your record player and know its about you
Here’s a middle finger to everything you ever pushed my way
Here's a middle finger to what wakes you up every single day
I know I'm messed up beyond saving
But honey you created the monster you're seeing
Don't take it to personally
Just drink hemlock or go into exile
What makes you think I need you in my life
Do you know how fast I could replace you
Aren't those the words you live by
Aren't those the words you’d die by
What makes you think I need you in my life
Do you know how fast I could replace you
Aren't those the words you live by
Aren't those the words you’d die by
Here’s a middle finger to everything you've ever pushed my way
Here's a middle finger to what wakes you up every single day
I know I'm messed up beyond saving
But honey you created the monster you're seeing
So don't take it to personally
Just drink hemlock or go into exile

Part I: A Not-So-Abstract Observation on the Human Condition
Paralyzation is a funny sensation
Fuzzy in the chest and fucking with your head
Sounding off the sirens in your mind
But the rings trigger nothing at all
Failure is just a part of the human condition
But I’m just a human who can't be conditioned
Spent my life training for a future that seems futile
And I'm sick of it
And I thought I didn't care
Kept a plan B in my jacket pocket
They said I'd go nowhere
And I’m too burnt out to give damn
But I’m intoxicated on anxiety and reeling on lack of productivity
And I'm starting to realize all my friends are ghosts
And I'm stuck in this hole alone
Maybe all we need is a city in chaos
Flashing lights of new york swallowed into the dark
Long concrete blocks, dead skyscrapers in silence
Another power hunger at rest
When everything you know is falling
Do you catch it or let it crash
Even if you pushed it over the edge
Will it come back and make an impact
Put on a smile cause I'm damned if I don't
I put on an act cause I crumble although
Behind the make believe face and the soft toned talk
Is just another broken home
I wish I could isolate emotion from practicality
But all I am in reality
Is this stress, I'm a wreck, just another dead end
Waiting for a car to hit
I'm a mess, hide my thoughts under another black dress
Hoping for the luck to miss
Maybe all we need is a city in chaos
Flashing lights of new york swallowed into the dark
Long concrete blocks, dead skyscrapers in silence
Another power hunger at rest
And I know you were here
We were meant to last forever
Where did forever go
And I know you were here
Just a step in the light from me
But now the dark has come
Maybe all we need is a city in chaos
Flashing lights of new york swallowed into the dark
Long concrete blocks, dead skyscrapers in silence
I think I've lost myself in the abyss
Part II: Everything Fixes Broken
Maybe I’m just fucked up and deal with loss with grace
From a dark cloud in march and a falling out in february
Hell with dreams because we all wake up
Open your eyes destruction is the truth
I'm the absurd hero
Spent my life working
Just to let the labor kill me
I'm walking and talking
In 6 foot bed for one
We're all here to save our investments
But maybe some are worth abandonment
I spent my whole year running to what looked like purpose
But purpose is just fucked up coping mechanism
This is what I wanted isn't it
A city at its feet crumbling at the seams
But I never asked for pure anarchy
