Flying somewhere far away,
Purple eyes are on the moon,
Christmas decorations floating away,
I am on a stage,
Drifting and singing my songs,
Guitar in hand as I sing it all out.

All I can hear is the crowd,
All I can see is the white corner,
All I can feel is the guitar in my arms.

Xanax drifts into my gaping jaws,
Am I just a skeleton?
Cause I see the pill again,
Cotton candy clouds,
Look like they were dyed with red,
Ascending through the classroom,
Into the eye-filled moon.

All I can hear is the chatter of teens,
All I can see is the teacher,
All I can feel is the tapping of my foot.

Back again.
I’m back again.

Borrow time and sink even further,
Death doesn’t want any more deals,
Masquerading around in my armour,
When I’m surrounded by friendly fish,
Am I sick for thinking that everything is going to hurt me?

Charcoal eels slip by my tongue,
And wrap it up so I can’t talk at all,
I’m ashamed of their selfish ways,
I’m not drowning anymore,
I’m just sinking into the waves.

White water still remains,
Even though I’m miles underneath,
I’m catching a cold but I don’t care,
Whether or not I’m alive I don’t care,
Curfew was at 9 but I don’t care,
But I really, really want to.

Here comes the great big shark,
He only ever eats off bits,
My mind getting smaller and smaller,
I can’t walk anymore,
I’m bleeding out once again,
I apologize, Mr. Shark, please leave me alone.
Please, leave me alone.
I’m not your enemy.

Who’s next?
In this long line of losing people,
It’s going to happen sometime now,
I’m not in denial,
I just want some justification as to why they go.

Look at all the sunsets,
She’s not here with me,
So just keep me company,
Won’t you please?

Sappy morning dew and fog,
Writes out my story on the window,
Let’s leave now it’s time to find more people to lose,
I don’t regret you or your ocean-like eyes,
Cherish every time I fell asleep with you,
Monsters climb out from under the bed,
I really don’t want to lose all these friends.

Look at all these sunsets,
Burning fire like the one inside my heart,
I don’t mind that she’s not here,
Just as long as someone is at all.

it doesn't make sense,
of all the power in the galaxy,
nothing could compare,
never in fear could you see such a place,
it won't make sense,
but that's the point- isn't it?
culminating hell and heaven into one location.
love it until you hate it.

hold out your hand,
ill follow you,
i have never talked to you,
but i will follow you.

Aching from the outside into the inside,
Don't know where most of the wounds came from,
Though I do know that I can't stand the sight of them all.

Every single thing,
Brings back memories,
Memories I don't want to remember.

Call me a teenager,
I'm making a fool out of myself,
If I told you the things I loved,
You wouldn't care,
But if I tell you the things I hate,
I'm so selfish for talking about them.

Every single thing,
Brings back memories,
Memories I don't want to remember.

Scars on my arm,
If it's romantic or edgy,
That's up to you to choose,
I can't wait to get older,
Maybe I'll get taken seriously,
I try my best to look natural,
You still put me down.

Every single thing,
Brings back memories,
Memories I don't want to remember.

I guess, this is who I am,
And I need to remind myself of that,
But you don't like me,
You think you know my head,
You think you know my struggles,
Well I'd like you to leave.

Let's get our get up on,
Smother confidence on our cheap, black kicks,
Nobody cares that we're there,
But yet I can feel every eye on me.

We're all kids,
In a night to forget,
Cause I was in the bathroom the entire time,
Sorry, to all my friends,
I didn't have a date and anxiety ******* hates me.

Girls and boys at the speakers,
Think that they are hot ****,
Singing along to a song I never could forget,
I'm a cliche in itself,
Don't try and change my mind,
Cause everyone hates me, I know.

We're all kids,
In a night to forget,
Cause I was in the bathroom the entire time,
Sorry to all my friends,
I didn't cave a date and anxiety ******* hates me.

Sorry to all my friends,
I should've gone alone,
I should've stayed home.
