Big Mistake 04:39
donated to the Red Cross picked up litter that had been tossed into the riverbed didn’t watch porn before bed helped direct some foreigners gave my money to guys on corners but I am not a saint I was preparing for a date building up my karma so that I would be in the good books of whatever deity was presiding over my chances to sleep  with you that plan seemed to work got a second date and then a third but then i got reckless a woman in a dress asked me for some change but i declined and walked away and i felt really bad but i didn’t turn back and i should’ve known, should’ve known right then that whatever we had was gonna come to an end i stopped fearing the gods i swear i don’t believe in and now i see that was a big mistake now i’m wishing you would tell me the perfect guy who wandered into your life was really a big mistake (don’t fuck with god, be a good person, don’t think you’re hot)

I’ve just been lying On my porch and trying Not to think about lying In your bed and trying Not to check my messages Every 15 seconds is It hard on you? It isn’t And that’s the worst admission You used to talk to me when I got down You used to lay me out on the couch Now I gotta do it all myself My mind is overheating like an ice shelf You’re the picture of mental health And you put me in mental hell But I am going to crawl out With television and time’s help I made a self-directive To put things in perspective So I watched a retrospective About the Great Depression And I started volunteering Litter does need clearing Yeah I’m picking up lost earrings And trying not to picture them on You used to talk to me when I got down You used to lay me out on the couch Now I gotta do it all myself My mind is overheating like an ice shelf You’re the picture of mental health And you put me in mental hell But I am going to crawl out With television and time’s help A book on introverts Told me to Accept the good and the bad So that’s what I’ll do The good was knowing you The bad’s not pleasing you The good was knowing you Used to talk to me when I got down You used to lay me out on the couch Now I gotta do it all myself My mind is overheating like an ice shelf You’re the picture of mental health And you put me in mental hell But I am going to crawl out With television and time’s help

Stargazing 03:03
Held hands Wait to be freed His slips away Silently and she Knows it is what it is It’s a take and a give So she sighs just a bit And watches as he turns and spits And he says That he wants love But he don’t And she says That they’ll break up But they won’t Stargazing at the ocean floor The beauty’s there, but it’s not what they’re looking for Still they can’t turn away they’re entranced by the sight cuz they know what it’s like for a beautiful thing to not feel quite right And he says That he wants love But he don’t And she says That they’ll break up But they won’t

The Wretched of the Earth Is really no match for The sadness in my gut So now it’s coming for my lungs Because I don’t fit in And I’m surrounded By sane kids having fun Neighbours making love When I eat alone When I check a silent phone The sadness in my gut Starts coming for my lungs Because I don’t fit in And I’m surrounded By sane kids having fun Neighbours making love And not quietly Love and not quietly Love and not quietly Love and not quietly Only comes sometimes But it came more being surrounded by So many peers Who all contribute to the fears That I’m letting my Social golden days pass me by And there’s some merit to those But I gotta find a better way to be on my own On my own On my own On my own
