Suddenly I wasn't my best so throw off your lens cap grab me by the chest I've been looking for so long to impress a series not lying but the second best From out of headaches repeating from out of mistake a face brings me something new (Sit there just sit there you don't understand sit there just you don't understand sit there don't move) There's something about this self obsessed a series of saying there's no chance of this my ghost transfers a message unless a frantic finger was too swift for bliss From here to someone I should kiss from now I can't explain your fist.

Falling Down 05:06
What am I supposed to feel? What am I supposed to feel? What am I supposed to feel write it down write it down quickly I just see myself see myself falling down But I can’t get out can’t get out of my shroud let me down let me down I’m in a dream that’s too long to last a boy a tiny drop over rain clouds What am I supposed to feel (I’m) standing here with my eyes open in love in love in love What am I supposed to feel write it down write it down slowly slowly slowly slowly I just see myself see myself knocked down But I can’t get out can’t get out of my shroud let me down let me down a dream that’s too long to last a boy a tiny drop over rain clouds What am I supposed to feel I don’t care I should care I don’t care I should care I went out walking alone in the moon light it was far I knew it alone Cause I can’t get out of my head I think that this stops it cause it sounds and it sounds it resounds as it swallows me whole

Sewing thread to attach my head you choose the color not the machine and you don't realize the surprise of falling for the first time on your knees But my thoughts legs are broken they're climbing little tiny stairs in the attic where they're spoken I flinch if someone cares But getting out of bed now you're saying just try something new I'm holding out my hands now how do they get to You can tell me if I'm breathing I'd know what I'm feeling closing both my eyes waiting on a message unimportant factors I'm appointing actors to play these parts for me to play these parts for me I'd give up my form of reason and the morning dew to turn it into something that could last for me or you but I'm so caught up in the future that I forgot where I am falling out of places still I'm sure that You can tell me if I'm breathing I'd know what I'm feeling closing both my eyes waiting on a message unimportant factors I'm appointing actors to play these parts for me to play these parts for me Some time in a film you'll walk by give me your hand I'll let you fly the camera is on your face a picture that I can't replace You can tell me if I'm breathing I'd know what I'm feeling closing both my eyes waiting on a message unimportant factors I'm appointing actors to play these parts for me please play these parts for me

I'm planting a tree to save the air but it can't be a forest one leaf doesn't make it a forest one lead doesn't make it To keep it with me reminder of anything steady before us one leaf doesn't make it a forest and two leaves won't make it You won't be pushing me down when I fall in my dreams again you won't be the face in the crowd that hopes I can't do anything you won't lend me your hand then make fun of mine because you won't leave I'm up to my knees in little words wrapped up stretched out and swirling it's so easy to say just stop spinning please just stop spinning But it's moving me this thought that I'm moving always surrounds me they dragged me off but she found me then they dragged me off again You won't be pushing me down when I fall in my dreams again you won't be the face in the crowd that hopes I can't do anything you won't lend me your hand then make fun of mine because you won't leave You won't be pushing me down when I fall in my dreams again you won't be the face in the crowd that hopes I can't do anything you won't lend me your arms then make fun of mine because you won't leave You won't be pushing me down when I fall in my dreams again you won't be the face in the crowd that hopes I can't do anything you won't lend me your eyes then make fun of mine because you won't leave I'm closing my eyes and taking a breath please get me closer to everything said but there's noise pouring in filling my skin I love you too much I'm skipping the end Take me in your arms take me to bed lift me up, lift me up high as you can cause I want to freeze fingers clutching your leaves holding onto everything 'for anything leaves

Afraid 05:03
You pretentious thing lying in your dreams kiss me you found all that you're after Then you jump up again hurt toes it's just a trend give it back but you whisper Think louder boy I'm in your think louder boy I'm in your head I'm in your head I think there's no one less afraid I think there's no one less afraid I think there's no one less afraid I think there's no one less You pulled out my seams but at first it wasn't exactly born in disaster behind these circled scenes there's something underneath a coolheaded collection of pictures Think louder boy I'm in your think louder boy I'm in your head I'm in your head I think there's no one less afraid I think there's no one less afraid I think there's no one less afraid I think there's no one less afraid If we could get out if I could feel my feet and lift them up to descend down the stairs I won't be scared You are it you are it and I think there's no one more in love I think there's no more in love than me

You've had too many dreams you've had too many dreams again you need to stay awake you need to talk to me again You are it You've had too many dreams (please let me sleep) You've had too many dreams again (please hold my hand) You need to stay awake (please let me be) You need to talk to me again (please hold my hand) You are it Everything you wanted is it everything you wanted is it everything you ever wanted Everything you wanted am I everything you wanted am I anything you ever wanted come on You are mine again Is there anything you ever wanted come on now This is not right (Too late now it's too late) (Lift me up I feel free fix me up too broken you're enough just kiss me I'm not much soft spoken) I'll wake up right from my sleep I'm bathed in sweet it's startling I'll tell my head now go to bed but everything is happening I'm wasting time I'm wasting breathe get up right now it's sudden death I'll go to school I'll get good grades I'll graduate I won't get paid I'll need a job I'll need good friends no I can't keep online for this stay up too late and eat too much and blame yourself and skip your lunch and hold onto a selfish thought wait forever plus one minute I don't want quiet in my head I'm wearing headphones in my bed I'll overpower thoughts I had in every dream they'll never grab this dream I love try to remember wake me up it's still September face still warm my hands still dry cause I'm trying too hard to cry out all my fears and foolish habits their just growing they'll command us more I hear love less I see it listening for someone who means it we all do when we want to but something's wrong with me or you I'll call me crazy call you just to bitch about my brand of shampoo cause I'm itching which isn't new everyday I'm thinking of you take my eyes and glue them on a picture that has lost its class pretend I'm sleeping if they want me eating all the food I could find try to fill a hole in my mind plastic dogs and rolls of nickels comfort of your mother’s pickles cooking for yourself and her then doing dishes half past forty five more minutes 'till I wake up wanting to apply real make up show it off because I don't care letting all the people come stare but I'm afraid from skater days and letting myself out in waves upon an ocean do you read me I'm stuck at the bottom of the sea

Notes 06:02
I wake up again early enough to begin to hear the sound of my bleeding Then feel asleep in my chair wondered if you would care that's two mornings one sunrise Careful eyes cause they close up to juxtapose all the blankness of fearing But I hold ink like a pen wait for someone else to begin to push my feet to the pavement Please just tell me I'm lost just tell me the words I'm reading aren't gonna be repeated I'm holding pages of notes not sure if I could float away though I'm already sinking so deep Read about what could've been but I'm still stuck on pretend that's only cause I love it It's just that I want to be everything that you see I came close in a picture Please just tell me I'm lost just tell me the words I'm reading aren't gonna be repeated I'm holding pages of notes not sure if I could float away though I'm already sinking so deep

Plastic Dogs 04:09
A breeze blown through scentless flowers stirs a bee that would sting just to defend me in the dark we can walk for hours in circles who cares it’s you and me But you’re petting plastic dogs now expecting to feel warm fur in return go for a walk and lie down one last look in your eyes is goodnight But I don’t mind if I never sleep again lying here is better than I could pretend So don’t erase an hour from my day cause feeling like this it only happens when you’re awake Reach for a hand around a corner five hundred miles minutes the length of my arm and it's true sunlight makes me warmer but I miss being cold I miss being calm and I miss being calm And if I could fly by 50 maybe I wouldn’t be scared at 19 and if I were brave enough to close my eyes then maybe I'd see you But I don’t mind if I never sleep again cause lying here is better than I could pretend Don’t erase a minute from my day cause feeling like this it only happens when you’re awake
