Well the bags under my eyes are getting too heavy to carry
And I don't know about the prize cause just the thought of it's so scary
No I don't know what I'm doing
Don't know a thing about the past
But I do know once we do this there's no chance at turning back
So tonight I'm as high as the Colorado sky
I'm staring up at while I'm wishing I was staring in your eyes
And you'd look back at me and smile
As we'd count down to our demise
While we'd roll hand-in-hand next to that ocean far and wide
It was all alright
It was all okay
It didn't matter one way or another
We were gonna make it anyway
But that was then
And this is now
It doesn't matter what the plan was if this is how it all played out
It was all alright
I hope you know that I'm so low
20,000 leagues below
Keeping my head above water
You know not everybody floats
And it was sink or swim
You know how that goes
Can't be your knight in shining armor if all I can say is I don't know
Feels like the world is on my shoulders and my knees are soon to give
I'll be on the floor to worship a world in which I cannot live
And though I am constantly searching for something I just can't forgive
But I'll be on my knees to worship a world in which I cannot live
I cannot live
I cannot live
I cannot
So what if I get content
So what if I get complacent
We won't be a failure
Just success adjacent
So what if I get content
So what if I get complacent
We won't be a failure
Just success adjacent
And I can't save you
And you can't save me
No matter what we do you'll still be sad and I'll still be lazy
No matter what we do you'll still be sad and I'll still be lazy
No matter what we do you'll still be sad and I'll still be lazy

Lie to Myself

Go to bed
Before we say something we regret
Before we say something real
Before we say what needs to be said
Close your eyes
We've already said goodnight
We both know where we're going
But we're still along for the ride
I can't lie to myself
And you can't lie to you
But maybe we can try
If only for tonight
But I guess we always knew
But I guess we always knew
No future left to dream of
Nothing left to look forward to
But I guess we always knew
Lie to me
And tell me it's all okay
It's what I want to hear
Even if it's not what you want to say
And I'll lie to you
It's easier than starting new
It's that familiar touch
That makes us do what we shouldn't do
I can't lie to myself
And you can't lie to you
But maybe we can try
If only for tonight
But I guess we always knew
But I guess we always knew
You say you don't want to hurt me
But I'm telling you ignorance is bliss
But I guess we always
But I guess we always
But I guess we always knew

It's not a contest
Everybody's life sucks
The common cold will be the death of us
As long as the book gets printed
You've gotta read it from left to right
You've got a face that's made for the stage
There's one leaving at 7 tonight
It's quite a process
Sifting through the nonsense
We'll play for days to turn a phrase into an incomplete sentence
We'll sing our song
And we'll dance our dance
But no one wants to listen to a 20-year-old in short pants
Re-dedication through lobotomy
Just to find out what is wrong with me
And repossession of all my things
Through the men who came and took them from me
Toxic
Magic
Headfirst into this passionate tragedy
Share if you agree

Whoa

Re-dedication through lobotomy
Just to find out what is wrong with me
And repossession of all my things
Through the men who came and took them from me
Toxic

Headfirst into this passionate tragedy

You look up from the rhythm of your heartbeat
To tell me no one has confused you more
You just can't seem to find that in between
It's either love or war
You smile as I brush a hair out of your face
Everything seems to be falling into place
Looking back I have never felt more content
Can't help but wonder how that went
No I never meant to fall
And I never meant to take you with me
Cause the landing's all the same
And it's not ever gonna change
Nothing went according to plan
But I'd rather you hate me than not understand
I hear you crying into the pillow through that shitty bathroom door
I question my choices in the mirror
And I'm sure you question yours
But even if we say all the right things
It doesn't mean we can prevent
The future and all it's inevitabilities
It's money wasted but time well spent
No I never meant to fall
And I never meant to take you with me
Cause the landing's all the same
And it's not ever gonna change
Nothing went according to plan
But I'd rather you hate me than not understand
And if you say you don't want to hurt me
Then at least sharpen my knife before you slit my throat
And if you say that you don't want me to care
At least make sure I have a comfortable chair
At the bottom of that swimming pool in nowhereland
Where I'd rather you hate me than not understand
