Well it was autumn and the winds blew and
it took my baby, away
And the sunshine and the rays withered all away with
the daisies.
You grew colder as the climate dropped a big anvil
on my heart.
What happened when I left that week for Mexico?
Why'd you have to go and bring that girl when you gave me
my birthday gift?
Sometime life makes me laugh because it likes to throw stones and sticks but I'm not pretty and I don't shine
I guess the world just likes to see me cry.
And then the snow came, and the winds blew through my nose right to
my lungs and the bitterness, it stung
So I layered up.

sad w/you

You're in my head, crawl out of my body I'm already dead.
You're stuck in my mind, I'm an apparition you fill my insides.
You're under my skin have me constricted, visions wearing thing.
Why don't you leave me alone?
Why don't you leave me alone?
I don't want to condone, anymore.
Why don't you leave me alone.
Please grow bored of me, so I can finally rest.
Feel relief with every breathe something filling the empty caverns in my
lungs and chest.
You think we're floating on clouds.
I feel six feet deep cold under the ground.
I didn't intend this for you, when I'm alone for so long it's something
hard to construe, that you wanted to be with me;
now you got your wish.
Because you didn't leave me alone, you didn't leave me alone.
Embodying false hopes, it wasn't meant to be.
My own thoughts and convictions of dying alone have engulfed me.

You were the most dear to me, once I found you, you became my new
skin for weeks.
I was attached and you were my most favorite possession.
You fit me best, I remember smiling scrubbing the coffee stain in your sleeve in the bathroom that one time.
Your scent was comforting to me, I'd close my eyes and breathe in, sometimes fall asleep.
I'd stain you with sadness all my tears, the many times you've soaked them in under street lights;
While the cold winds ate away at my skin.
I don't remember exactly when I removed you from my sight.
Maybe I grew tired of the way you felt wrapped around me.
I was packing up for the end of the semester.
That's when I found you hung up and worn down.
It looked like not the time but a moth got the best of you.
And my heart sank as I ran my fingers through the hole in your chest.
So I closed my eyes, breathed in it smelled of cigarettes.
I worn you out and as I tossed you
I whispered, "thanks for never leaving me."

Do you take pictures with your friends to convince yourself that you're not bored?
You got these thought balloons floating over your head, and I've got this plastic fork.
Well I'm no good with body language, speak to me with words and phrases like, "I think something's gone wrong between us."
Laughter is the best suit that I can wear, my voice exerts from the belly out but do you know?
I'm so scared.
I'm so scared. I'm so scared.
I'm so scared.
Seeing some friends' band in a basement's really a party, full of strangers and alcohol and I'll shuffle along nervous smiles.
Well I'm no good at social gatherings, speak to me and I'll mumble odd things like, "I live in a basement and I don't go to school."
I'm a still life portrait hanging on the wall.
Nothing concrete beneath me as I try to ground myself.
Keep still, keep still but
I'm so scared. I'm so scared.
Instability, you're the enemy
But I'll hold on by a nail.

Hey, don't you know you can't keep sweeping things under the rug?
And hey, don't you know you can feel it still building up?
Mounds turn to hills and the next thing you know a mountain transpires
and you're suffocating from the high altitudes that all your fuck ups have elevated you to.
So hold your breathe, for as long as the time keeps passing it's a
constant change.
Temporary sadness will always collapse and
Hey, this is just a reminder that you're still so young.
Take in the scenery you've overcome.
Breathe in through your lungs.
Keep your eyes towards the stars.
Keep your eyes towards the stars.
