6 a.m. the bore begins
Out of bed the floor is freezing
I’m stumbling around to find I’m
Gonna need more time to find my socks
And I’m already late again
So there’ll be no breakfast and no zen
Just a scrambled brain that’s learned to drive
In a zombified state of mind
Will you allow me to wish it away
These endless days and tiresome nights
I don’t know what I’ve done wrong
I just know I’m lost
I messed up and now I’m stuck
6 p.m. it’s time I got home
All the traffic’s taken it’s toll
I wanna take my pants off
And lie wide eyed wide awake
But I got chores piling up to do
And dinner for one to consume
Oh look it’s already late
So much for having any fun
Will you allow me to wish it away
These endless days and tiresome nights
I don’t know what I’ve done wrong
I just know I’ve lost
I messed up and now I’m stuck
6 a.m. again I’m gonna
Kill that alarm I’m sleeping in
I called in sick today
I’m going to live this life right

I wish I was better at this life
At being human and making full sentences
At feeling emotions and sleeping 8 hours a night but
I can’t even seem to do that right
I fail at things that I do every single day
It’s so pathetic that I would cry if I remembered how
Why can’t I seem to lose any weight
My hair is falling out of my dumb stupid head
And it takes all my effort just to stay this sad and alone
It all feels like a cruel joke
Don’t get me started love
I’ve already lost
I feel like I’m due another try
I messed up this one enough for a second chance
Or at least a different job I don’t hate so much please help
Sometimes I seem to make myself feel sad
Like when I buy a game I know I’ll never play
Or spend entire days on the internet looking at cat pics
It all feels like a cruel joke
Don’t get me started love
I’ve already lost
Will things get better now
Or someday later how
Do you feel you’ve had enough had enough
I just want to feel rested for one day goddammit

I Could've Sworn

I’m always fumbling
Never good with love
Kind of stupid,
Dense, and lacking in the sense of the word
Striking out again
I’ll never get to first
Just on the bench until I grow old
Ohhh I could’ve sworn that you liked me
But now I know that that was just crazy
Thinking I could be so damn lucky
To have someone as cool as you like me
But at least it’s so clear now
That I’ve got no chance in he-he-hell
We’ve got chemistry
Whatever that means what
Something good or not
Gotta say I’m already lost
Time doesn’t wait
Anxiety explodes
Help me please god
I’m gonna die all alone
Ohhh I could’ve sworn that you liked me
But now I know that that was just crazy
Thinking I could be so damn lucky
To have someone as cool as you like me
But at least it’s so clear now
That I’ve got no chance in he-he-hell

Don't Turn Away

Is it a lie that we're living?
I don't think I could say
We've blurred the lines by
believing revisionist histories
All I know is, you and I are through
Or so I thought
Don't turn away from me
Don't turn away from me
Let me redeem myself
Don't let things end this way
If you leave now
then what was it all for
Don't turn away
Don't turn away from me

I'm Alright

it's safe to say
that i'm always on my own
but i'm alright
i am alright
it ain't a crime
to be holed up in my mind
i am alright
i am alright
do i want the truth
no that's okay
i'm happy this way
god i want the truth
i got a brain
i've forgotten how to use
i am probably just fine
i am alright
this ain't a game
so why am i player one
i am probably just fine
i am alright
i am alright
do i want the truth
no that's okay
i'm happy this way
god i want the truth

Sally Said

Sometimes I think I’m important but that never lasts too long
She reminds me that my chances are always slim to none
It’s just so easy to descend into obscurity so
It’s no surprise she don’t remember me she don’t remember me
Sally said she don’t know me
And it’s bringing me down
She only said that to hurt me
So I’m hiding a frown
She won’t stop until I feel lonely
And then she laughs at me for giving anything a try
If there’s a side to choose I know that she won’t be picking mine
Yet she’ll ask me to stay but
I’m going away
It’s overdue I’m saying bye goodbye so long goodbye
Sally said she don’t know me
And it’s bringing me down
She only said that to hurt me
So I’m hiding a frown
But know I’ll be leaving shortly
So we’re strangers from now on
What a shame that was

Monday’s always feel so wrong
I know
That that’s a problem I can’t solve
sooo
I’ll spend 10 hours a day in my cubicle
(That can’t be healthy right)
And grow old
just sit tight
I don’t want to go to work tomorrow
It’s such a drag and I just can’t be bothered
Waking up is a battle I’ll lose
And morning commutes are nothing I’d choose
The thought that this is the rest of my life
Is enough to make me want to die
What led me to
This end so soon
Every single day’s so dull
I know
that this won’t change all on its own
Soooo
I’ll play the optimist this time
And pretend this is fine
Until I can
Learn to love this stupid lie
I don’t want to go to work tomorrow
It’s such a drag and I just can’t be bothered
Waking up is a battle I’ll lose
And morning commutes are nothing I’d choose
The thought that this is the rest of my life
Is enough to make me want to die
What led me to
This end so soon

I wasn't going to hang out tonight
Something came up, it's true, I swear
It's not like I'm scared of going outside or anything
It's not like I'd rather be alone
I'm feeling kind of silly
Overthinking an excuse
To keep me happy
I've set myself to lose
It looks like you guys had fun tonight
I saw the pictures on Instagram
tfti
I don't know why
It feels like we aren't even friends
I'm feeling kind of silly
Overthinking an excuse
To keep me happy
I've set myself to lose
help me (x4)
