did i do something wrong
did i make you uncomfortable
did i misstep
did i mess up
did i miserably fail

i don't understand
the series of events
that lead to this moment
what did i do
to hurt you so bad
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
i just noticed
i am always looking to the side
somewhere off camera
out at the distance
in every picture i am in
what is wrong with me lol
i don't want to have to ask
but i have to at least try
i'm not sure i can
handle another lie
how many times
how many times
i can't keep wondering
can't keep it inside
when you leave
in the middle of the night
and reappear a couple hours later
and don't tell me why
sometimes i wish you would never come back
but i can't be the one to say bye
i go a little more crazy
when you tell me its all in my mind
are you just gonna sit by
while my faith in you dies
if it really is all in my head
the truth is something only you can provide
i can only assume things
if you continue to hide
don't want to be that kind of person
but you make me so insecure and ready to fight
when you lie to my face
like i can't see what's going on, like i am blind
oh god, don't let it be true
i am scared that it might
tear me apart so if it is
maybe you should just lie
don't like your options
so you reject them
not interested in questions
so you resort to deflection
beat down on me
till i gag at my reflection
it's so sad
these dreams i have
where i have you
they'll be over soon
but i can't forget
the feeling of your skin
pressed into mine
even though i'm haunted half the time
remembering what i've done
i just regret being young
it's just killing me to have this space
but there's nothing i'm willing to say
to make it change
because what if you just don't feel the same

i don't know if i could take it
i'm this weak
for you
i'm gonna fall back asleep
so i can feel that way again
you're too strong
holding my own hand
as i cross the final threshold
a final retreat
into myself
into hell

what i can't accept
i forget
what i can't forget
i ignore
what i can't ignore
consumes me
and everything
that would've been
i remember the first day i saw you
like it was just yesterday
and the first time i looked at you
with that he's-not-so-bad way
i remember falling in love
then all i remember is the pain
of you not loving me back
but still choosing to stay
because apparently our friendship
was something you wanted to save
but all it is is a reminder of the
love i just could not attain
i remember the first day i saw you
now i wish i'd never said hey
ashamed of my tears
disgusted by my weakness
broken up about how i treat others
torn apart by my secrets
being me is so **** exhausting
why can't i just breathe
even now as i'm outside
walls close in on me
don't care they say
don't mind their ugly words
keep being kind
don't lose yourself in the insults they hurl
like i haven't tried
to be a woman of steel
god i wish
it was that easy to not feel
satan was his favorite angel
and he still let him fall
then what's the hope for the rest of us
a dead line receiving a desperate call
getting used to getting used
ain't that ******* sad

tired of being too tired
to enjoy what i have

waiting just to wait some more
it can't be that bad

it's breaking my heart to break the ties
i never really had

wanting to want you
like you're the only savior

walk it off or walk away
come back never or later

sorry for being sorry
it's just part of my nature

good people do good things
to get rewarded for their behavior

imagine a forever that goes on forever
and you will lose your mind

pieces of me to piece your self back together
solving your puzzle destroys mine

running from them while you're running from me
almost keeping our paces in time

loving someone that is loving someone else
swearing one day they will realize

they don't love you because you don't love yourself
stuck in a lonely loop

why do you only have you
when your biggest is enemy is you

lie to them so they will lie to you
because you can't face the truth

hurt them like they hurt you
but is that really what you want to do

he's sad so your sad
but you are still alone

calling his phone while they're calling your bluff
silence and a ringtone

face to face then skin to skin
but you don't feel it in your bones

you got what you wanted but its not what you wanted
confused and don't know where to go
the title also kind of fits the theme, because metacogniton is "thinking about thinking"

idk really
im weird
am i dumb
for falling so fast
the answer
a very ignored fact
i just wanna be loved
so bad
like maybe that explains
the way i act

but when i fall
its hard and unforgiving
what is it
you really want with me
i'm tired of how often
the balance keeps switching
whatever you need
can you try to find it in me
coping
approaching
choking
provoking

slowly
imploding
though it's not
showing

waiting
replaying
pacing
debating

saying
not crazy
devastating
it was just a period of time
where i let you into my life
and it felt so empty to try
now we avoid each others eyes
cause its awkward to realize
what we said in the dead of the night
could exist in the daylight
i'm pretty sure i'm sick
but who cares
this cough is gonna **** me
but i guess i'll fare
so used to being on my own
i guess i'm not surprised
how when i actually need some help
none will materialize
don't know why i woke up today
and walked my happy little *** here
dragging myself through the motions
but accomplishing nothing great
i'm no where near
where i want to be or dream to go
i'm stuck in this awful place
where i stagnate
no chance to grow
just the same old person
i was two years ago
want to be something different
but change is too scary
so i stick to what i know
but i'm not happy
with the life that i lead
disgusted by my choices
and underwhelmed with
everyone's perception of me
in a pickle
in a jam
in an unlucky moment
i've found myself
and i don't quite know what to do
i wish i knew
how much you cared
so i could relax
or never come back
.
pardon my ignorance
i should've known better
but i thought i should at least try

but people always fail me
and it's made it harder to get out
of my shell each time

im damaged
and it ***** that i doubt
eveything in my life

but its not exactly my fault
its just that once i lose my focus
i can't just fall back into line

i can't go back
to how the way things were
i cant pretend i'm fine

i can't justify
ghosting you with out explaining
but i'm not ready to speak my mind

how do you tell someone
that being around them
is like feeling second best all the time

i love you to death
but i can't be you're sometimes friend
not this time

i feel like im lying
not only to you
but like whole relationship is a lie

i womder if i asked you about me
what you'd say
like you even listened or tried

it's wrong to just doubt you
but i feel it in my gut
i'm insignificant in your life
.
.
but i made you my whole world
my sun and my stars
i laid out a path
made of shards
from each time
it broke my heart
to make you smile
i tore my self apart
but that is
the way things are
you never wanted me
not from the start
you won't even miss me
but i'll reminisce from afar
trying to be your light
left me alone in the dark
.
.
but does it really matter
at all in the end
peace of mind
in exchange for a lousy friend
i cant decide
i hate to do this again
i cant believe i let you
get under my skin
i give up on trying
its too much work to put in
.
.
i hate you for making me feel this way
but you'll never know because you're indifferent to my pain
no regrets
i said
but there is much i would change

i laugh
take it back
but i mean every word i say

stop acting like you don't miss it
just as much as me
spent enough time having you
make me feel crazy
toe to toe
how far will this go
pushing farther hurts
and it won't
make us feel better
just seeing who'll fall back first
testing each others patience
almost stupid enough to work
i bend myself until i
break and no one's there to save
me from the mess i made
trying to feel just a little okay

i'm hurting but there is no
treatment for the pain i'm feeling
i do all the work but i'm still not healing
i try so ******* hard but i'm still left dealing

and its always too much or too
far when it comes to matters of the heart
shouldn't take it so hard
but i'm falling apart

i'm crashing out at a thought of
you cause i've done everything i could think to do
i've been rotting for years but its still so raw
and new and thats my excuse
i've pushed so far
i've worked so hard
but i'm only
2 feet from start
i grit my teeth
burn my feet
only just to
face defeat

tell me what i'm doing wrong
make it easy for me
i don't understand anything anymore
i don't see what everyone else sees

i feel sick all the time
i hate my life
i wake up in the middle of the night
to hold myself and cry

there's nothing i can do
i'm holed up in this room
i hate myself for loving you
all it does is hurt you too

i never wanted this
never wanted to miss
you but its our predicament
i'm sorry i that I forget

i'm sorry i didn't love you when
you were here my friend
regret crawls up my suit of skin
the memories creep up again
at your insistence
i'll maintain my distance
cause you say it's better off this way

but suppose there was an instance
where we could both be consistent
would you wanna stay

the dynamic keeps switchin'
everyday you feel different
i'm trying to respect the change

know you've been resistant
your motivation to try nonexistent
guess i just wanna hear you say

you miss me pushing you're limits
i can't stop reminiscin'
about you everyday
feel a little dizzy
won't you please stay with me
i'm asking as a friend

the way i feel won't be an issue
i'm not distracted by how that shirt fits you
don't know when we'll be together like this again

just want cherish the moment
i miss you even if i don't show it
just wait a minute more

i know you've gotta go
before you do just let me know
if you ever think about before

cause this distance is a knife
i miss you in my life
cutting you out hurts so much

i've tried to keep my promise
but if i'm being honest
i don't know if i can keep this up

cause we see each other and just keep walking
right now it's a relief to finally be talking
after months of silent passing

know this a lot to divulge so fast
but i can't keep holding it all back
hope you can forgive the way that i'm acting
oh to be such a mess
just steeping in the pain
no thanks and please don't catch in my throat
till i asphyxiate
each memory crashes to the forefront
fighting to be the one to drive me insane
like sisters fighting over a toy
pulling it until it breaks
supposed to be happy
moved on and established
getting what you wanted
but you're straying and falling back into bad habits

what happened to freedom
doing the things you never could
time wasted on trying to relive something
that wasn't even that good

use your brain
know your heart
remove yourself
before you fall apart
you pushed yourself
worked so hard
don't run back
when you got this far

know your worth
trust yourself
make a priority
of your mental health
wish no harm
bid others well
but you can't give a love you don't have
to somebody else
you've turned
and it's repulsing
i can't stomach to look your way

from the blood on your shirt
to the skin in your teeth
and the devil's smile across your face

i know what you've done
and i hate it
and i finally hate you

look what you've become
it's devastating
you're beyond rescue
don't depend on me to be better than you
not at this point
i was good to you and i tried my best
and you made your choice

because everything i was wasn't what you wanted
failed attempts to be what you needed
i changed to fit your vision but you couldn't see it through
and now you don't wanna believe it

i was so good to you even when you burned me
even now i'm not mad i'm just hurt
i waited for you to love me
now i just wait to leave this earth

i'm not gonna tell everyone your secrets
or list every wrongdoing for fun
i'll just fall apart until i don't fall apart anymore
and find peace in the fact that we're done

it's all that i can do
no no no
this isn't what i meant
this isn't what i wanted
this can't be how it ends
pulling away from a touch
that's no longer there
it's an ugly ugly feeling
but nobody cares
make it make it stop
and wash it away
hot water does no good
nor the tears on my face
it's so uncomfortable
to think about things that could've happened
i'm just tired and unsure
holding in my reaction
because i can't mourn
while i lie in the crime scene
just another ****** situation
they always find me
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
seeds've been sown
and grass has grown
greener than i've ever known

watered with tears
sheltered with fears
nonetheless it's still here

gonna lay in my patch
finally relax
watch the clouds as they pass

every now and then it storms
can't stay dry when it pours
shaking cold outside some door

nobody would let me in
so the rain became my friend
comforted when it touched my skin

together we have made this dream
become a reality
its the rainbow, the clouds, the grass, and me

and that's the way i like it
my heart knowS its wrong
to be feeling this way
but i can't help but be
swallowed by the hate
hope her lips are sweet
enough to mask the pain
if you think it bothers you
imagine what i could say
everytime i think i'm happy
i remember your face
can't help but think
we were close to something great
now you're just whipped
and follow without a brain
miss the way we used to be
but can't be anywhere near you today
so much potential
where did it go
you had all the plans
but ignored what you wrote
all laid out
yellow brick road
now you're nobody
in a stranger's home
living empty days
falling on a flat note
lost everything
can barely trust what you know
is this even making sense
at this point who knows
unimpressed
you make me sick
you're not that cool
i know the tricks
you're miserable
we all see it
i've lost interest
in being your friend
nobody wants me for me
only for what i can do
or give

i'm at a table full of people i know
but there's no one
to actually talk with

the painful realization
i have no one to run to
when i feel afraid

though you try to reach me
you dont try hard enough
and i pull away

and i can already see you
not noticing
but i won't lose sleep about it

it's amazing how lonely
a person can be
when they're constantly surrounded

like there's not even time
to just be me
or take off the mask

i want to stay
i do
but you remind me of the past

and i don't need you
trying to convince me
that it'll be fine

if i just relax
because their faces
say otherwise

and that feeling I get
everytime you
say the wrong thing

when you just do
and forget to think
when you hurt me

tells me that
being around you
ends in nothing good

but who cares
i'm not letting you go because i want to
it's because i should

cause if i cant
be happy for you
i shouldn't be around

it isnt right
to sulk in your shadow
and bring you down

it just it hurts
to see you tolerate
such trash

you'll defend your friends
and dismiss it when
they stab me in the back

when they ignore me
and make it impossible
for me to feel like I belong

you'll always choose them
you've always chosen them
you dont have to choose from now on

so stop reaching out
you never really cared
and itll hurt me more than you

so stop drawing it out
go find your other friends
and leave me alone to

cry
hate myself
and deal

it's gonna get worse
before it gets better
i only pray to heal
inside my mind
i imagine
throwing it all into the fire
and forgetting it all
the clothes off my back
a fresh start
of sorts?

but is the inherent value
of all that ive built
worth trying to restore its former glory

or i'm pouring even further into a sunken cost

is it harder to kiss it all goodbye
or to realize i never should have left
for the first time in my life

i want to be alone
i wish
there was one me
that everyone knew

i wish
i wasn't a lie
but even that's an excuse

i wish
i was just me
and could still please you

but mostly
i think it'd be easier
and that's the truth

maybe
that's self-serving
but surely i deserve to

wish
to stop acting like the old me
and become something new
just a few words
on the tip of my tongue
i'd say 'em out loud
but then they'd become
twisted by your perceptions
and misunderstood
i keep to myself
for my own good
you make me wanna scream
grab and throw things
until you seem to see
the pain inside of me

you make me wanna burn
every single word
like i wish i could this hurt
like i wish i could her
it's been a really long year
and that doesn't mean much
and neither does what i need to say
but i need to get it out of the way
i know it doesn't excuse my actions
understand how seriously i ****** this up
and i'm sorry i made
you feel some type of way
that wasn't the intention but
it's already done
i am the one who should be embarrassed
you don't deserve any of this
we don't have to be friends
but i had to say something
i hope one day you'll get over it
and you'll forget this whole moment
it's like sunshine makes the freckles dance
just like my skin vibrates beneath your hands
bottled up excitement that gets the chance
to explode and you see how happy i really am

next to you i feel like glitter rain
every touch melts away
layers of hardness and built up pain
i've never been so grateful to have someone stay
i don't cry anymore
missing you feels like being kicked in the stomach
every single part of this hurts
even though i guess its what i wanted

i dont regret protecting myself
or trying for as long as i did
i'm looking back now so unsure
and it distorts as i try to re-remember it

i'd like to say it's not the separation
but more about how you just packed up and left me
with not even a conversation or true warning
i still don't believe you'd just forget me

but as each new day passes
and you ignore my existence
i grow more accustomed to loneliness
coming to terms with it
it doesn't mean i don't miss you
even if i wish i didn't

to be just like you
surrounded and indignant
when you finally spoke up
you said you'd never need my forgiveness
i didn't want an apology
i just needed someone to listen

and from what i knew
i thought that could and would be you
but you won't see me anymore
i wasn't ready to leave yet
it's easy to want you
because you want me
but i don't wanna love you
because you love me
you deserve so much
much more than that
you deserve someone
who could love you back
everyone is around
somehow i'm still alone
it ever used to be this way
then again
no one used to know
you can't see me
or you pretend you can't
it's easier to ignore me
than to understand
all i ever asked
was for you to be my friend
somehow you are absent
time and time again
and i just want you to hold me
shield me from the wind
i'm cold and i am tired
i'm not sure i can
muster up the smile
that it would take to convince
everyone that i'm okay
they know i haven't been since
you abandoned me
my invisible prince
this is about loving someone who is never there for you. makes you feel invisible
get up
come here
there's something to be excited for

ever since i met you
it's just so different from
before

and i don't know what that means
but i want it
to stay this way

everything feels foreign
even though nothing's
changed
i feel so rotted through
my bones ache
and my eyes are sunken
my stomach touches my back
my arms leaden
my feet broken
my heart slowing
my fingers struggle to output
the resignation of my mind
the desecration of my time
the devastation of my life
it feels like my life is over
and i just keep going
like the last round of hurting wasn't enough
to convince me thoroughly enough
that this world isn't for me
and these people aren't either
but i just keep going
i can't give up now knowing
my problems are someone else's blessing
i'm just tired of the universe testing me
i lost my brother
my sister almost too this saturday
the little family i barely have
not my blood relations
just my only reservations
my few considerations
still i'm well aware
everyone is gonna go
whether they leave me now
or later
whether by choice
or by nature
why is it so wrong
i want to do it on my own terms
youth is no excuse to enable suffering
if in the meantime all i can do
is be punished for trying
it's unsuprising
i'd be so romanticized with dying
i know he's lying
to me
but my god
it's tantalizing
to be sacrificed
intead of sacrificing
stumbling my way home
distracted but determined
pushing out thoughts of you
i can be my own person

don't need your input
or bad vibes in my space
my mind is a palace
not free real estate

ain't got the time to sweat
everyone who disagrees
trying to accommodate every opinion
just drives me crazy

someone will be unhappy
no matter what i do
today is the the day
i decide to stop living for you
sue me
I can’t be like the rest of the women he expects
Pretty and shallow, with my favorite hobby being ***
I don't know how to let loose and I don't speak with my body
I have no confidence, no wonder I'm always saying sorry

Subjected and Scattered
I scramble to fit into your perspective
I'm too introspective to be perfected
As if my opinion even mattered
the original is by Nobody... yes that is the name.
i slept all day
now i'll stare at my ceiling all night
