Stepping on Sticks

Dear God,
I may never be caught,
But I can't be alone anymore
I've gotten,
Incredibly lost like
I'm tripping furniture
If I could go without
These digging words
This head of doubt, I
Would surely be happy but
I need to figure out
How I'm supposed to breathe without you
Dear frauds,
I am you but I'm not
I'm just looking to be understood
I thought
If I bared every spot
Maybe you would stay tomorrow too
But I'm not holding onto
Something that will do me harm just
So I feel happy, you
Were always moving onto
Something lighter, something stronger
I never wanted to change your mind
You never wanted to stay here
And who am I to decide what's wrong and what's right?
Sometimes I wish I were not here
Oh God, I already forgot who I'm supposed to be this week
So I cover it up for another few months just to keep myself from stuttering
For all your policies, your moral code, your decency,
You still don't seem happy
You can only pass it onto someone lighter, someone stronger
I never wanted to change your mind
You never wanted to stay here
And who am I to decide what's wrong and what's right?
Sometimes I wish I were not here

Flowers

You promised flowers like daisies,
but it doesn't faze me that you forgot
Nothing's gonna change, repeating every day's
the same, the same, the same, the same
How are people happy?
All I understand is apathy and actually,
it's only getting stronger
You lift your head to the sky,
I watch the birds passing by,
You say it isn't so bad to be alive
Oh, I don't wanna admit it, but you may just be right,
I don't like to be bitten by the same problem twice,
You know I hate when we argue, it's never worth the fight,
I promise this changes nothing, so please just stay the night
You promised me flowers
You promised flowers
How are people happy?
All I understand is apathy and actually,
it's only getting stronger
You lift your head to the sky,
I watch the birds passing by,
You say it isn't so bad to be alive

My Mistakes

Oh, everything feels so right til it goes wrong,
I never needed nobody in my life to be stronger,
I'm talking to myself making circles on the front lawn,
I was wrong, I was wrong for that
I'll spend another night on this old carpet
I left my dignity in your apartment
I never understood the words she said,
What you meant by "I wish it would end"
No, you can't claim it for yourself,
When you're pieces of someone else
Oh, everything feels so right til it goes wrong,
I never needed nobody in my life to be stronger,
I'm talking to myself making circles on the front lawn,
I was wrong, I was wrong for that
If only you could see the man I'm making,
I'm sure there's pieces still just imitating,
It always boils down to my mistakes
that I made that I can't take away
No, you can't claim it for yourself,
When you're pieces of someone else
Oh, everything feels so right til it goes wrong,
I never needed nobody in my life to be stronger,
I'm talking to myself making circles on the front lawn,
I was wrong, I was wrong for that
Oh, everything feels so right til it goes wrong,
I never needed nobody in my life to be stronger,
I'm talking to myself making circles on the front lawn,
I was wrong, I was wrong for that

Empty Spaces

You try to reach me but I can't pick up the phone,
Nothing scares me like another night alone,
And you'd say
Let it out then shut your mouth,
Cause no one knows what you're talking about,
and no one listens when you're shouting
But you already knew that
If only my dreams were empty spaces
Then maybe I could get some sleep
I hope in the end that you get everything and more,
I fall to pieces like I never have before
And you'd say
Let it out then shut your mouth,
Cause no one knows what you're talking about,
and no one listens when you're shouting
But you already knew that
If only my dreams were empty spaces
Then maybe I could get some sleep
Maybe I could get some sleep
Maybe I could get some sleep
