Stefan had a few questions
Wants to be taught a lesson
Never meant to disrespect
It didn’t start before it ended

Will drowned a few pills
Took to heart, “if looks could ****”
Couldn’t tell what’s heaven and hell
He just wants to be grounded still

Mike is starting to feel like
He’s picked up too many signs
Been insane, because all his brain
Wants to know is what’s on your mind

Jean had her eyes turn green
The monster in her own dreams
What comes next is a blue bruised neck
She’s single and doesn’t deserve to be
I wrote this because it’s what I saw and how I felt

I’m over thinking
I’m over drinking
And I’ve been blinking
Where I’ve been sinking
This isn’t the path I thought I’d be on
Don’t be surprised how much I’ve felt gone
I’ve got hollow bones even when I feel strong
I did it to myself, don’t get me wrong
I keep writing songs about change
And ending up in the very same place
The damage is done,
but the bridge is not burnt

A set of lungs under water hoping to get the next chance at air, a confusion that hits like a coffin and put you to sleep, an anxiety that won’t let you recover or receive any ounce of answers, I’ve told myself it’s another bout that you can wake up after, grab your head, hold your heart, and live up to your expectations. There isn’t a reason you can let this be the reason that you feel pain, ever again. I’m hoping I’ll see another sunset and this time, I don’t mean when I wake up. I mean when I’m breathing at night, hoping to make things feel right. I’m a better person. Not because I don’t feel pain anymore. Not because I’ve recovered from the scars. Mainly from knowing it’s coming, and still wanting to see another smile.

My name was removed from the list
You left the comma, to show I’m missed
I filled the gap, when you let me in
We had to end to begin once again
I like this one

No, the drinking ain’t a social thing
The silence has been defining
So press my mind just like a bell rings
We’ll see what the hell that all brings
Cram another dose into the schedule
Right up until it’s consumed my soul
Stuff my mouth, ‘til I’m a painful full
All syllables, the argument’s controlled

The taste is fun and it all sounds sweet
It coats my nightmares with bright dreams
I can choose to become a story
But all pages can be left burning
The future is blank with a purpose
No one truly knows what comes next
I’ve got less worth, but I’m not worthless
Even when we’re getting close to it

She posts on her story
10 times every blink
Gotta mind that’d make you think
Gotta mind that makes her drink

No, the drinking ain’t a social thing
Considering the silence is defining
So keep pressing my mind for a bell ring
Whatever the hell that really means
Fit another dose into the schedule
Right up until it’s consumed my soul
Stuffed mouth ‘til it hurts when I’m full
All syllables, the argument controlled
