i don't want no party
bury me alive
swallow your sorries
and finally do something right
it's too late to care
what your actions can lead to
and it's too much to ask
for me to live for you
i kept all my promises
now i want to be free
you don't get to
take this away from me
i don't want no ******* party
incineration is fine by me
if you feel like you should've been nicer
you won't get cry to me
one last time for mercy
my absence won't set you free
if you feel like you should've thought twice
before you murdered me
with your lack of thought and love
maybe you should have
it's funny when its gone
that you finally want it back
the motto must be
miss you when you're dead
mistreat you while you're here
i'm not where i was
when i last closed my eyes
wiping away the blur
letting the figures materialize
reality sets it in
the aches crawling under my skin
scatter under harsh light
but they're still eating away at me
what more could i want
butican'thaveyou
why can't i have you
whydoiloveyou
why cant i see you anymore
whycan'tiholdyou
why can't i kiss you
whycan'tiloveyouanymore
why can't i miss you

cause i do
and i always will
til the day that i die
and i was holding out for something
but i'm not seeing the light no more
as i'm closing up shop
and putting the last of it away
will you accept this token of my love
or will you spit in my face

if i try to say goodbye
though i guess i know the answer
it's hard to leave with nothing
and my feet and my hands hurt
though they've gotten me this far
but i think i'm ready to go to bed
so kiss my grey lips
and forgive me for the rest
of what's about to happen
these little things
i've barely accumulated
i've shared beyond self-interest
the truth is complicated
because i gave you these things
wanting someone else to hold them as close as i have
seems you took them and ran
and i shouldn't want them back
but i genuinely wish you could and would
that i'd be removed from your after credits
that since you ruined almost everything i have
you'd let me have my wits
but no
you are simmering with flippant disregard
ungrateful for what this took for me
emotionless as i can't compete
hope you can be that closed off when they have to bury me

don't cry now
i waited for you to love me
don't feel bad now
you should have cared while i was here
and no it's not just your fault
but it sure snowballed into an avalanche
and maybe if i could just never see you again
i could have tried to make it work
but you just love rubbing it in
the things i barely had
i never want to trust again
i'm dying of cold and lack

you can call me an indian giver
i catch the blame and hate regardless
and you can have back your rare occurrences and slivers
i started with nothing and now i have far less
they keep telling i'm too nice
i was naive
i never should have shared my heart
i don't know what to feel
skipping through varied presentations
from unmatchedly detached
to being suspended in world-bending self realization

jumping realities
like seats on a bus
the one where i mattered
others i wane to discuss

trying to find meaning
where there may be none
assumptions are the extension
of problems i can't outrun

even in my dreams
i'm turning on the spit
no repose from settling finalities
mulling us over until we're but its and bits

but i'm still breathing
but i'm still bleeding
day after day
belonging is fleeting

maybe i'll rubberband into a new normal
or maybe i'll snap trying
all i know is i can't just be here doing nothing
it almost feels like dying

i don't know what to feel
it's foolish to speak out of frustration
but the lonelier i am, the scarier it gets
is it wrong to hope i'm not invisible in my devastation

   𝐡𝐮𝐬𝐡!
my fairweather friends are calling
i'll just let the phone ring and ring and ring
i'm too tired to be Me™
when everything is not what it seems
  genuity don't mean a thing
  did it ever really
  was it nothing more than pity
  off to make some other history
     would you claim this as a victory
     are my questions falling worthlesssly on deaf ears
     i never want to see you again
     and i wish you were here

i suppose i'll be okay
i'll be dry
i'll be safe
but forgive me
i'm a little bit confused
on how it all just
disintegrated at my touch
and you just brushed me off
how you're now paying dust
and now how
i'm cycling the same thoughts
i'm in no rush
to die
but i'm truly beside
myself this time
learnedly residing
rapidly declining
no help in sightings
no hope to trying
i suppose i'll be okay
i want to say it like it's already true
and if i never get as far
as getting over you
i'll tie it all up with a bow
thank everyone i know
for coming to the show
divvy out everything i own
though it's not much to go around
some of it might go for a pretty pound
'll only need pennies to cover my eyes
don't even have to think of the good times
you don't have to get worked up or cry
i just wish you listened the first time
but probably not
i don't know
i feel like i'm dying
the old frustrations
so obvious now
it only took a few hits
to figure it out
it only took a few years
to have my head above the waves
probably a few more
before i actually mean what i say

gagging at the thought
of my past versions
to stagnation and over-emotion
i've developed an aversion
a reflex i can't help
i can try to forgive myself
but i will never be proud
of making do than doing well

spitting acid
when i could have offered compromise
making myself some sort of martyr
of unnecessary sacrifice
where i should've countered with
kindness and open-mindedness
i curled into negativity
causing my own blindness

running a psychological deficit
standing on the precipice
that the only answer might be watching everything burn
and just letting it
for the first time in a while
i don't hate myself today
i poured out my soul
and sure there was pain
but to be free from captured thoughts
and seeing the visions play out
almost exactly how they did in my mind
i feel almost unshackled now
and for the first time ever
i'm not afraid of the outcome
i'll still feel a lot
but i won't regret much in the long run
i can't change your mind
i cant even change mine
and as much as i want to make things right
i can't continue if this is just gonna be another fight
and i won't feel bad for shutting us down
because if we can't listen to what the other is saying
who are we kidding
and what is the reason for staying

i've finally got nothing to prove
if i can find happiness without you
then that is what i'll choose
and i hope you do too
