[Verse] Maybe It’s time to say goodbye To our loved ones and move on with our lives We don’t want to But It’s best if we do Do you see the way they manage to stay Clear of the bullshit and still get paid It’s an art form One I haven’t figured out just yet But I’m trying my best [Pre-Chorus] I promise I’m not in the wrong Who wouldn’t be depressed If they really knew what’s going on [Verse] I’ve got further to go than I’ve come But after it’s all said and done I’ll still hate myself More than I hate anyone else So I’ll tie one on and rub one out Cause I’m not allowed to leave my couch And I’ll still complain Though I have nothing to complain about [Pre-Chorus] Cause this will never get to me I know there’s no way I’ll die young I’ve always taken the long way Cause anything further would be no fun [Chorus] Never let an issue go to waste Give anything I can to get a taste Of a life I know I’ll never be able to afford And I’ll keep praying to a god That I just can’t quite disregard And I’d to anything to have my faith restored In the world we live in [Verse] We never seem on the same page Let’s adjust the sails and fly away To another country Or at least to another state Because kindness kills But only the Innocent And darkness overwhelms the brilliant It’s a sad, sad world and we can’t change it [Pre-Chorus] Cause this is a galaxy far, far away From anywhere we’ve ever called our home When home is all that matters cause these days we [Chorus] Never let an issue go to waste Give anything I can to get a taste Of a life I know I’ll never be able to afford And I’ll keep praying to a god That I just can’t quite disregard And I’d to anything to have my faith restored [Chorus] Never let an issue go to waste Give anything I can to get a taste Of a life I know I’ll never be able to afford And I’ll keep praying to a god That I just can’t quite disregard And I’d to anything to have my faith restored In the world we live in

[Verse] How long can I hold on Been at it for so long Days drag on and feel like years Aging me faster than I could've imagined And I just don't know what happened Is this too good to be true Cause I don't believe you But it's not a mirage It's varying degrees So I'll wear these [Pre-Chorus] Sunglasses like camouflage It's my disguise Cause you can't see right through me When you look me in the eyes [Chorus] Feeling out of shape and uninspired So sick and tired of feeling sick and tired What's another day out in the cold It's not getting better but it sure is getting old [Verse] The lack of common sense Keeps me on the fence Cause everyday chips away At what's left of my patience I'm tired of waiting This feeling's debilitating Feeling naked Alone with my thoughts but my head is vacant I'm fine for now But not sure how Much longer I can take it [Pre-Chorus] Til I suffocate And you see that fucking place burn down As I slowly walk away [Chorus] Feeling out of shape and uninspired So sick and tired of feeling sick and tired What's another day out in the cold It's not getting better but it sure is getting old [Chorus 2] Maybe in another time and place I wouldn't have watched it unfold right in front of my face Just another story left untold Not getting better but it sure is getting old

[Verse] This anger dwells inside of me It’s been building since the day I met you at Seventeen I can’t escape it And I sure can’t embrace it Where would I go This is all I know So I’ll just sit around and take it I can’t imagine Living the rest of my life this way Wishing I were dead every morning And that’s just how I start my day I sure can’t leave No I can’t leave Cause I’m tied down to this life we’ve built Like blocks made of concrete Tied to the ankles of you and me And it won’t be swift and painless No we’ll both get pulled down slowly [Chorus] And It’s the blind leading the blind Oh but at least you can see A shimmer of shining light In spending the rest of your life with me And it’s far from black and white But I just don’t know what to do Cause all I see is darkness in a lifetime spent with you [Verse] Is this a joke Cause neither of us are laughing When we look back We’re nowhere near where we imagined When we were kids And the future was so bright But now I’m scared to look ahead I’m blinded by my guiding light But it’s all alright This is all alright But it’s just mind over matter Good luck convincing me otherwise [Chorus] And It’s the blind leading the blind Oh but at least you can see A shimmer of shining light In spending the rest of your life with me And it’s far from black and white But I just don’t know what to do Cause all I see is darkness in a lifetime spent with you [Bridge] What do you want me to do You never liked when I apologize to you And I wish that I could say That all of this was a mistake I hope you know I still believe in you As much as I did on that day As much as I did on that day [Chorus] And It’s the blind leading the blind Oh but at least you can see A shimmer of shining light In spending the rest of your life with me And it’s far from black and white But I just don’t know what to do Cause all I see is darkness in a lifetime spent with you

[Verse] You’ll always be that flower tattoo Reminding me how much I need you Maybe it just happened on a whim Maybe we were only six months in You’ll always be that flower tattoo You’ll always be that mattress on the floor Reminding us of a time before Either one of us had any idea What the hell we had in store You’ll always be that mattress on the floor [Chorus] How can I be young and dumb When you’re the smartest thing I’ve ever done When the smartest move I’ve ever made Was making you my number one When I wake up every morning And open up the shades And see a ray of sunshine hit your pretty face And it’s all okay [Verse] You’ll always be my damsel in distress Something to give my life purpose Like pushing round that shopping cart Or helping you pick out that dress You’ll always be my damsel in distress You’ll always be my dopamine daydream Not the reason you’ve been crying Never wanna be that sleepless night Where you’ve given up on putting up a fight Even though you’re right [Chorus] How can I be young and dumb When you’re the smartest thing I’ve ever done When the smartest move I’ve ever made Was making you my number one When I wake up every morning And open up the shades And see a ray of sunshine hit your pretty face And it’s all okay [Bridge] Because you love me like my mom does So she loves you like I do Thoughts I don’t want to acknowledge Because I know they aren’t true Or valid in the slightest But I’ll still take it out on you Cause you love me like my mom does So she loves you like I do She loves you like I do [Outro] You’ll always be that flower tattoo You’ll always be that flower tattoo You’ll always be that flower tattoo You’ll always be that flower tattoo

[Verse] Don’t talk to me right now I’m trying to figure this out The last thing I heard from you after the fallout I thought fine by me I guess I’ll see you in my dreams Never knew how I’d feel after a couple of weeks [Pre-Chorus] Cause your picture beside my bed Reminds me never to forget The ones who truly love you And the thought never entered my head That I would ever have to live without you But it may need to [Chorus] Because tonight I’m ruining two lives for thе price of one Two can ride for just thе cost of one ticket for admission And I know that the world isn’t that simple but at least I was hoping you and I could be [Verse] You’re a deep cry in a beach towel as paradise surrounds us And you’re that hidden spot right off the coast where no one could’ve found us So if I stay until tomorrow will you let me dry your tears Cause happiness is in the moments Misery is in the years [Pre-Chorus] And it never even crossed my mind That that may be the last time that I’d see you But it may be true And the thought never entered my head That I would ever have to live without you But it may need to [Chorus Two] Cause you’ll stay quiet And I’ll stay distant and remote I may not like it but that’s just how this story goes And I know the world isn’t that simple but at least I was hoping you and I could be [Bridge] Cause I spend hours in the shower just to get my conscience clean Of all the shameful things I’ve done And all the shameful things I’ve seen So take a look around And if you don’t like what you see Things are clearer in the mirror and all that’s left is apathy Apathy Apathy Apathy [Chorus] Because tonight I’m ruining two lives for the price of one Two can ride for just the cost of one ticket for admission And I know the world isn’t that simple but at least And I know that the world isn’t that simple but at least And I know maybe nothing is that simple but baby please I was hoping you and I could be [Outro] Cause your picture beside my bed Reminds me never to forget The ones who Truly love you

Do It Coward 03:20
[Verse] I can forget what I said Cause I know you’ll know just what I mean And with you running round in my head Makes it hard to remember anything Except the sound of your voice Over the noise Of pitter patter on the ceiling And I’ll keep apologizing Even if I’ve done nothing wrong And you’ll keep complaining About your perfect boyfriend who wrote you this perfect song I love the look in your eyes When you say this feels right Should’ve known it all along [Chorus] Because if ignorance is bliss Then I’m as naive as it gets Because I love thе way it fits With you sitting next to me And if therе’s no rest for the wicked Then this may be unexpected But I love the way I sleep with you lying next to me With you lying next to me [Verse] I know I’m problematic But baby I’m your problem now And as a hopeless romantic You’re the answer to all my questions anyhow I love the taste of your kiss The minute it hits your lips It’s all I can think about [Chorus] Because if ignorance is bliss Then I’m as naive as it gets Because I love the way it fits With you sitting next to me And if there’s no rest for the wicked Then this may be unexpected But I love the way I sleep with you lying next to me With you lying next to me [Chorus Two] And I didn’t know this exists You really turned me into this With that warm feeling I get when I’ve got you next to me And maybe I’m still learning But there’s no way I deserve this Because you’re way too perfect of a fit for me Of a fit for me [Outro] And I’ll keep apologizing even if I’ve done nothing wrong And you’ll keep complaining About your perfect boyfriend who wrote you this perfect song

[Verse] He said I live in The fruit of the labor that I reap It’s a simple life But I get by at the bottom of the sea And it’s a given That I pretty much work for free I’m all but broke My life’s a joke But it won’t get to me Oh no it won’t They call me Elmo He said after a couple beers Tickle me all you want I haven’t felt anything in years And we both know We don’t know where we go from here Because the days turn into months And the months they just turn into years [Pre-Chorus] And I’ll keep writing my apologies in metaphors You’ll never hear [Chorus] Cause maybe the sun was meant for those who will never see it But you see it’s a great analogy The center of all life in the universe But we will never reach it The things that burn the brightest also burn the hottest But lets be honest The answers out there we’re just too lazy to seek it [Verse] None of this matters What part of that don’t you understand If you still don’t comprehend please let me lend a helping hand Try and get it But you know you never will Cause your mind keeps getting caught up in the ghoulish overkill [Pre-Chorus] You walk the line between wrong and right But you won’t die on that hill [Chorus] Cause maybe the sun was meant for those who will never see it But you see it’s a great analogy The center of all life in the universe But we will never reach it The things that burn the brightest also burn the hottest But lets be honest The answers out there we’re just too lazy to seek it [Chorus] Cause maybe the sun was meant for those who will never see it But you see it’s a great analogy The center of all life in the universe But we will never reach it The things that burn the brightest also burn the hottest But lets be honest The answers out there we’re just too lazy to seek it

Wii Tennis 05:05
[Verse] My alarm clock screams Out of my cellphone It interrupts my dreams And leaves me feeling awful My knee hits the floor Though that flat air mattress Make my way to the door Though the mess of cans and bottles [Pre-Chorus] Cause this is just a shitty movie Actors have all but given up Not every story needs a hero If the villain just doesn't give a fuck [Verse] So I'll clench my fists And try to attack With these broken wrists I have from defending for so long I know its never easy But really should it be this hard Is there any rhyme or reason Why things went so wrong [Pre-Chorus] So I'll do my best to get it But what are the odds Because trying to make sense of this Feels like stealing fire from the gods [Chorus] So I'll keep Playing Wii Tennis in the living room I don't plan on stopping soon Cause it reminds me of a time When only mom and dads lives were in ruin This is as good as it can get I hit the ball over the net I know the dark days are coming But baby they ain't coming yet [Verse] Feeling stuck Like a war hero in peace time Out of luck And all but forgotten And the longer it goes The more its just accepted But I suppose It's not all that uncommon [Pre-Chorus] All the kids that I grew up with Are settling down as we grow older Some days I really want that Others all I care about is counterculture [Chorus] So I'll keep Playing Wii Tennis in the living room I don't plan on stopping soon Cause it reminds me of a time When only mom and dads lives were in ruin This is as good as it can get I hit the ball over the net I know the dark days are coming But baby they ain't coming yet [Bridge] From the start of every morning To the end of every night I put you to my lips to try and help me ease my mind And when my eyes are red enough you might just find Me playing [Chorus] Wii Tennis in the living room I don't plan on stopping soon Cause it reminds me of a time When only mom and dads lives were in ruin This is as good as it can get I hit the ball over the net I know the dark days are coming But baby they ain't coming yet

[Chorus] I sit here without you So I’ll just dream about you I need you to distract me From these thoughts I’m having But until that day comes I’ll fight off all these demons It shouldn’t be that hard Just a melody and four chords [Verse] The thing that scares me most is the thing that scares me least I’m not afraid to be dependent Cause you make me feel complete Not enough hours in a day Not enough days in a week Cause each one with you brings me closer To the man I want to be [Pre-Chorus] At least in your eyes And that’s what matters to me [Chorus] I sit hеre without you So I’ll just dream about you I need you to distract me From thеse thoughts I’m having But until that day comes I’ll fight off all these demons It shouldn’t be that hard Just a melody and four chords [Verse] I was listening just enough to know I should’ve listened more Cause your depression comes from trauma Mine just comes from being poor But you bring a different type of comfort A type I’ve never felt before It’s just a matter of time until you have me on the floor [Pre-Chorus] Praying to a god I don’t believe in Cause you have always been my beacon Guiding me home [Chorus] I sit here without you So I’ll just dream about you I need you to distract me From these thoughts I’m having But until that day comes I’ll fight off all these demons It shouldn’t be that hard Just a melody and four chords [Bridge] I want to tell you how much you mean to me But I’d be wasting my breath And I wanna go a day without shutting down Just for the sake of being upset I hope you know I dream of us in color Bursting through the black and white And I hope you know that I mean forever When I say the rest of our lives When I say the rest of our lives [Chorus] I sit here without you So I’ll just dream about you I need you to distract me From these thoughts I’m having But until that day comes I’ll fight off all these demons It shouldn’t be that hard Just a melody and four chords

[Verse] It's taken me way to long to realize But I've finally figured out There's no way this world will ever stop Giving me things to be sad about My teenage angst is gone Replaced with grown man rage And I'm afraid this pit in my stomach won't ever really go away But I guess it's all just part of growing up I'm still as fragile as I've ever been But god knows it's taken me long enough To feel these emotions But now I'm hoping A step in the right direction Will be enough to teach me my lesson And ultimately fix what's broken [Chorus] Cause I'll let you down If you let me let you down No if's ands or buts about it I can change but I sure doubt it At least for now Because at least in this instance You've figured out That I'm most comfortable when I'm distant [Verse] Everyone I idolize is fucked in the head as bad as I am So what does that mean for me Especially in the short turn Cause I fear the future just like everybody else But I've got to get there first And I don't like who I've become I can't stand the sight of myself Or the thought of how I disappoint you everyday And I'm sure tomorrow won't be the exception No matter what bullshit I try and throw your way But you'll always be there Right there next to me With a smile on your face Asking how my day was Or what's in my head At least until I finally push you away And I don't wanna push you away I don't want to I don't want you I just want you [Chorus Two] To be my cellphone I'll carry you everywhere in my pocket And I can't go a day without you But I'll still treat you like an object It's what I'm used to And deep down it's what you really want Because when it comes to instinct you think you actually have a shot [Bridge] You ask me why I get like this I wish that I could tell you I promise I'll snap out of it At some point don't I have to I swear it's never been this bad So I don't know what to say The pain isn't permanent But damned if it doesn't feel that way Cause after tonight My car smells like I'll be driving To work with my windows down B it's not surprising That I can see my breath Or that it reminds me Of the smoke in my lungs From the nights I've put behind me [Outro] I'll let you down If you let me let you down No if's ands or but's about it I can change but I sure doubt it
