A safer head
My mother said
I stab my finger with this thread
And so it goes
Ebbs to and fro
I close my eyes and pinch my nose
Just let me go
I want to know
Why do you hurt me so?
And every single day just feels the same
I keep on continuing my ways
I hope that nothing ever changes
And someday they'll find a plug to fit
The hole in my brain, my great pit
My mind's furniture rearranges
Why do you hurt me so?
A safer head
My mother said
I stab my finger with this thread
And so it goes
Ebbs to and fro
I close my eyes and pinch my nose
Just let me go
I want to know
Why do you hurt me so?

I'm So Scared

I'm so scared
I'm always so scared, I'm so scared
I'm Mr. Clean, I'm Mr. Yellow Submarine
I'm always so scared, I'm so scared
I'm so scared
And you had every right to be

I had plans to do things but they fell apart, never did anything
No one's upstairs
Nobody cares

Segway

This guy stole my segway
It was the most tragic day
I put him in his place
I kicked him in his face
that's what you get for stealing my segway
What is your problem?
What were you thinking?
I just got my segway back and then
Well it just got stolen all over again
I can't keep anything in its place anymore
And won't it return for good
For good
For good
This guy stole my segway
It was the most tragic day
I put him in his place
I kicked him in his face
that's what you get for stealing my segway
And I'm still feeling down even though I got it back
Even though I got it
Can I just get a moment of peace?
A moment of peace?
I'm asking for it please
I just got my segway back and then
Well it just got stolen all over again
I can't keep anything in its place anymore
And won't it return for good
For good
For good

Every day I got these tricks on my brain and it's like
I don't know I kinda wanna complain and it's like
It won't happen if I don't say nothing but I
I don't have the self control
Some days I surprise myself
Some days I'm somebody else
But what never changes is the stuff on my mind
All the time
And I pretend that I'm fine
There's all this writing on the walls of my skull
And I can see it if I don't think at all
But I don't wanna know who put it there
Cuz they might not want the best for me
Sometimes I'm fine by myself
Sometimes I don't ask for help
But someone's gotta pay for all the things I've seen
And if I know one thing it's that it won't be me
Some days I surprise myself
Some days I'm somebody else
But what never changes is the stuff on my mind
All the time
And I pretend that I'm fine

My girl has a gun
My girl has a
She shoots at everything
She shoots if it moves
She shoots at everything
She shoots, she scores
I can always count on her
My girl has a gun
She shoots me for fun

Oh
Pack it up
The song's too long
It's outstayed its welcome
I guess it's fine
I guess it's fine
Alright
Another day
Another thing
To write
Yeah, I'm putting on a show
I'm in the studio
I'll try to make something new
And I'll try not to plateau
So
Wrap it up
There's quite enough
Of this meaningless stuff
I guess it's fine
I guess it's fine
Alright
Another day
Another thing
To write
Yeah, I'm putting on a show
I'm in the studio
I'll try to make something new
And I'll try not to plateau

Fall Apart
03:10

I watched the glass fall out of your hand
Could not catch it before it landed
Oh how it fell to bits
Oh how it made me sick
I never wanna see that again
I hope you don't fall apart
But it's okay if you need to
I don't wanna see you fall apart but
It's okay if you need to
I look at your face and I see the fake scars
But I still wanna believe you
Our life won't have to be this hard
Even though it seems to
I should never ask these questions of you
I never want you thinking I don't love you
And even after everything
I don't fault you for anything
I hope you know
I never faulted you
Whenever you canceled
Or when plans fell through
I hope you don't fall apart
But it's okay if you need to
I really don't want you to fall apart
But it's okay if you need to
You look at my face and you see the fake scars
I guess I better believe you
Why does life have to be this hard?
Is it okay if I need you?

The Summer Haze
02:14
|

|
Even when nothing's ablaze
Even when there's cloudy days
Even when the sky is gray
Still can't shake the summer haze
My manifestations are backfiring
They're dominating, not inspiring
All I can do is keep inquiring
But make sure that my neurons are firing
Steel toed boots stuck to the ground with roots
That are growing through them in the middle of the lawn
Tools for cutting wire and a bicycle tire are stuck up in the shed
Nothing changed since I've been gone
The sound of the rain
Now that's a sound I can go insane to
I can't complain
It's found its way into my brain
Even when nothing's ablaze
Even when there's cloudy days
Even when the sky is gray
Still can't shake the summer haze
