Dominator

If I could pull all the thoughts in my head
And put them in a little gift box for you
When you opened it up
All there would be is a mirror
Is it impossible to shed my skin
And transfigure myself
Into a healthy human being
Who gives and loves
And does it all without worrying?
I'm gonna to give my heart to you
Once I overthink this through
Dominator of my thoughts
You're in my head but I don't mind
I’m alright with life
I just can’t wait to find a home
I'm alright with death
I just don't to want die alone
I’m alright

Cardboard

You can keep everything I gave to you
I told you I'm not gonna need it back
I burned my hand trying to touch the sun
I didn't touch it, but it burned my hand
I'm made of cardboard
Please no one touch me
You're breaking me down
Just put me in the bin and never look back
I'm just like Stonehenge
If Stonehenge fell apart in your backyard
And if Stonehenge
Was made of wood and scraps of paper
So thank you Stonehenge
For falling apart in my backyard
You gave me splinters
As the cancer was just a gift from the sun
My skin is cardboard
Please no one touch me
Keep me away from
Objects I could use to cut myself

Stargazing
03:39
|
|||
Orion and his mighty shield
Lay your hands upon shoulders
Shake me until I wake up from this
Fantasy gone wrong
I can't take advice from anyone anymore
Alone in a crowded room
Shoulder to shoulder
With my should haves and could haves
Chase me around the moon
And land somewhere among the stars
Reject the help of anyone and
Just lie on the floor

Misunderstood
04:03
|

Oh you’re so misunderstood
Everybody loves you but their love’s no good
You’re playing with their heads out loud
Once you pick them up you never set them down
Fixing the holes in your brain
My problems aren’t like yours
Just let me go to sleep
Your problems aren’t like mine
But our pain is not unique

Slacker
01:44
|
|||
I drag my feet across the floor
My legs feel like they're falling off
Sometimes I feel I'm giving up
I think you hate me then you say I'm tough
Anything you say or do
Will never change the way I feel
But that's a two way street because
We both bought in that we won't heal
I'll never get over this
That's not a promise
It's just a warning

Birthday
05:04
|
|||
Third or fourth grade was the first time
I thought nothing felt real
I didn't tell anyone though,
I thought that's how we feel
At 4 pm on Saturday in
Elementary school
The rainbow banner above the door read
“Happy birthday Luke"
His mom asked me to play outside
With the other kids
But I refused and stayed inside
I didn't realize what I missed
Oh what fun I missed at Luke’s birthday
Luke moved away a year later
Or maybe it was two?
I’m not exactly sure why we both
Found each other cool
Last I knew he was the first class
At his new middle school
His parents got divorced and then
We never heard back from Luke

Home Movies
03:59
|

All of my friends
Are letting me go
I already saw this
I already know
We were watching Home Movies
The TV show not actual movies
Relating the characters
To people we know in real life and
I can’t help but feel like that
That’s the way that we see most people
Exaggerated facial features
All blocked in with crudely drawn lines
Our dialogue competing
With one another for the most laughs
Learning how to live by making sure every sentence
Has a punchline
I don’t wanna be liked
I just want to be somebody’s favorite
But am I willing to lose myself
Just for some stranger’s approval
All of my friends
Are letting me know
I already saw this
I already know
“This is gonna sound really weird guys
I don’t- Honestly-
I don’t think our movies should be watched”
“They shouldn’t?”
“No.”
“Then why are we making them?”
“I- I have- I have no idea why we make them. All I know is this.
We keep coming here after school every single day
And we just keep doing it
And I don’t know-
And then-
And then we just do it-
And then I guess
it feels like we should just be doing it
I guess I don’t know”
“Huh. Weird.”

“Thanks, this is the best day of my life!”
“I’m killing myself tomorrow!”
“I’m killing myself tomorrow!”

Turned Off
02:03
|
|||
You took the red line halfway across town
I came with you on the trip
A bench where your favorite dead guys used to smoke
A blanket underneath the hill
We kept watch of the stars
I should have been there
But i'm just out of tune with myself
