the lighting in this place is dull getting tired just sitting here listening to every word you say fighting to respond sincere but i don't really care and that bothers me (i don’t really care) but i don't really care and that bothers me (i don’t really care) got a call today about low iron levels could barely hear over the traffic noise hung up to see an invite to a day at the beach said i'd rather stay home with all my toys i don't really care and that bothers me (i don’t really care) i don't really care and that bothers me (i don’t really care) (i don’t really care) (i don’t really care) (i don’t really care)

Dead soon 02:18
everything i do or say is a metaphor for somethin’ i done before back before i joined a band i had it written on my hand i'd be dead soon but on my hand there was another's and we've since moved on but i still feel it sometimes thankful how my brothers kept close enough and never stepped away used to bike around a parking lot puffy-eyed with a hopeful thought i'd be dead soon
3.
it seems to be the case that i can only let you down so i wonder what's the point of me hangin’ around like a houseguest that’s overstayed their welcome i can't hear your words but i felt them i thought about givin’ you a call one rainy day the droplets fell for hours atop my messy stairway a lot like the time we took cover sat beneath a tree next to each other
4.
sometimes i want to be you sometimes i want to be with you don't know what that means but it's frustrating never whole skinny like a swimmer makes me wanna skip dinner is that crossing a line i'm pretending it's fine never whole never whole a sacrifice now and then begets sacrificial ends a present for you i want it to do everything everything let's talk about whatever make it last forever let's talk about whatever make it last forever let's talk about whatever make it last forever
5.
nothing that you ever said made sense to me planning a revenge before you get betrayed and yelling all's fair in war and that one other thing asking do you dream of me when i dream of you and it all sinks right into me change the way i think subtly sick of getting dragged around by you all the time asking ‘who's shadow's that?’ when i know it's yours and planning my life around your needs like full-time job it could get better but what if it gets worse and it all sinks right into me change the way i think subtly tread lightly tread lightly yeah tread lightly am i getting anywhere with you am i getting through to you nothing that you ever said made sense to me nothing that you ever said made sense to me nothing that you ever said made sense to me
