i am gonna cry
01:29
|
|||
i am gonna cry
when i finally get into bed
oh, i don’t know why
i’m in the state i’m in
when will it end?
i lay my head
and close my eyes
imagine i am on the other side
of this thing
if i can dream it
i know i can get there
i’m lying still
arms at my side
if i don’t move is it like i’m in hiding
from the
potential of something
a future of nothing
i am gonna cry
when i finally get into bed
oh, if only i
needed a good nights rest
to feel alive
i am gonna cry
when i get to the other side
of this thing
if i can dream it
i know i can get there

emotional intimacy
02:23
|
|||
emotional intimacy
but more than just in therapy
i'll give some to you
you'll give it back to me
we'll share stories under a dead oak tree
and try to learn to see
each other true
truly try to see
each other through
the things that we perceive
may not be true
i want to see
the real you
emotional intelligence
but more than just in self-defense
the ability to manipulate
how you see me and how we relate
makes it impossible to see
each other true
truly try to see
each other through
the things that we perceive
may not be true
i want to see
the real you
emotions get the best of me
sometimes bring out the worst in me
but if i focus on the parts of me
that feel the deepest empathy
then we can start to see
each other true
truly try to see
each other through
the things that we perceive
may not be true
i want to see
the real you
and i
i want to be
the realest too

imagine you
01:13
|
|||
imagine you in my dreams
imagine you dreaming
and when you fall asleep
do you imagine me?
|
||||
4. |
i can't think at all
01:16
|
|||
oh my god
the walls they are closing around me
it's all so consuming
the smell of your hair when you wet it
the soft of your mouth it's pathetic
how i get so lost in the moment
that i can't think at all
|
||||

sleeping over
01:59
|
|||
sleeping over it's hard to sleep
reach across your back to check the time
and roll back over
is it the company that we keep
or just that feeling of warmth that keeps us here
when we know better
it's been a long time coming
and it'll take a long time to get back
to forget what it's like to not be sleeping alone
and i'm wondering if i should have just stayed home
to avoid all the hurt that i'm feeling right now
no i would not ever take it back

the birds outside my window
sing to me
and only me
la la la la

cat got my tongue
01:14
|
|||
i tried to speak part of a panel discussion
but maybe i think i'm better talking one on one
cause when i'm asked to talk in front of a room full of people
i just start to cry i can't find my tongue
cause cat got my whole mouth today
i can't talk about what i care about
but i have got so much to say
i can't talk about what i care about
i can't talk about what i care about
it's not that i'm shy
this is more than just some nervous feeling
i think i might die
or at least i'll projectile vomit
|

8. |
i miss my friends
02:50
|
|||
i miss my friends, do they miss me?
i hurt my friends and that hurts me
i started doing therapy
to learn to be a better me
a communicative practice
with someone that you trust
who will help you account for all
the ways that you fucked up
but don’t let anxiety
get the best of you
i miss my friends, do they miss me?
i hurt my friends and that hurts me
i started doing embroidery
to learn to be a better me
some kind of meditative practice
anything will do
make that time to think about
the things that bother you
and don’t let anxiety
get the best of you
i miss my friends, do they miss me?
i hurt my friends and that hurts me
i started doing therapy
cause i’m better than my anxiety
i can be better than my anxiety
i am better than my anxiety
i will be better than my anxiety

so absurd
01:19
|
|||
it's so absurd that i can
sell tapes with songs that i wrote
about how i learned from the ways
that i have hurt my friends

sex positive
01:04
|
|||
sex positive
but i’m positive that i am
mostly not interested
in sex in my life
but i’m romantic as shit
and there’s some things that feel right
like holding hands and kissing
and just cuddling at night
sex positive
but i’m positive that i am
mostly not interested
in sex in my life
but i’m romantic as sin
and there’s some things that i like
they’re emotional and sensual
and they’re romantic as shit

the days alone
01:48
|
|||
if you think the days alone are long
the nights alone are longer
if you turn your pain into a song
it can help you become stronger

why are you so afraid of me
why are you so afraid of me
why do you think i’m scary
is it because i’m so hairy?
but so are dogs, and you love dogs
and so are cats, but you love cats
|

i got a number
01:02
|
|||
i got a number
why don’t you call it
i’m just sitting around
wasting time at home
so when you’re ready
the lines are open
just call me up
and we’ll make plans
to hang out
but i’ve got your number
why can’t i call it?
i’m just sitting at home
wasting time alone
i get so anxious
i can’t control it
but maybe you
get anxious too
we’re both doomed

i'll never know why

i’ll never know why i did what i did

thinking to yourself
02:07
|
|||
wading out in the water
thinking to yourself
when you see your reflection
really saw yourself
floating up in the middle
of an endless sky
floating higher and higher
as your mouth gets dryer
and you mumble to yourself
but only salt comes out
you keep mumbling your words
and all these birds fly out
you look back at the ground
and you can see your house
but you just keep floating away
oohhhhhhh
let me back down
i don't want to go yet
but i hate this town
fuck
waking up in the morning
thinking to yourself
how you need something more
to save your mental health
than a place just to lay your head
and go to sleep
but a place you can grow
and really plant your feet
find a place where they build more
than just shopping malls
where you build each other up
so you don't feel so small
you look up to the sky
and you can see it all
but you just keep fading away
oohhhhhhh
let me get out
i don't want to be here
i hate this town
but i'll miss my parents

wrong way
01:22
|
|||
i turned the wrong way down a one way
and i'm not going back
gotta follow my path
and it's your fault if i crash
get out of my way
cause i've got places to go
get out of my way
i've got people to see
and things i believe in
i think differently
i drew the short stick in the long run
but i won't give it back
i will take what i have
and do the best that i can
get out of my way
cause i've got places to go
get out of my way
i've got people to see
and things i believe in
i think differently

when you found out
01:16
|
|||
19. |
are you watching me
03:30
|
|||
watch me turn something into nothing
or was it ever really there?
it's just an echo of a past life
floating high up in the air
watch me live inside of my own head
where i can still live in the past
where i can drown in my nostalgia
i know that this won't last
so how do i move forward
and how do i become
a person that i'm proud of
and ready to move on?
watch me take sad and make it hopeful
i'll take despair and make it shine
i'll find the door and break it open
i'll take the future, make it mine
watch me turn nothing into something
or was it something all along?
just elements in transformation
watch me turn pain into a song
are you watching me?
yeah we're watching you
are you watching over me?
yeah we're watching over you
are you here with me?
yeah we're here with you
