there are about a million different people,
while the rest of us remain the same.
you ever realize that you're not special-
that you'll never be someone great?

i wish i had a family
but all i have is a house
and its not even a house

you ever just kinda realize
that you're not really anyone special
that your words are just words
that they don't really speak to anyone
i don't believe that i'm revolutionary
i don't believe i'm a bright mind
i used to, but i'm older now
older now and used

why am i so scared
of a couple
two pairs of eyes
why am i so scared
they'd read me
and leave me to die

A new room
Some privacy
A little space
A few meters away
New parents
A couple bucks
A town away
An escapade
My friends
My online friends
Someone to hang out with
Love
Self-love
A friend
I need a friend.

i find that i write the best
just after a fight
just after i've cried
just after the tears have fallen

doesn't matter what story it is
happy, sad, mysterious
funny, tragic, ridiculous
i will always write it well

because any story i write
after a fight, after i've cried
is a story that gives me the most comfort
because any fiction

is better than this.

sometimes i wish i could just wish them away
the people who live in this house with me
sometimes i wish they would go away
and just leave me alone to be

sometimes i just wanna live in my own world
at night when no one else is awake
when i can be myself and be free in being myself
and not worry one single bit

i want to be alone in my being alone
and not think of anyone else
more importantly, i want them to shut up
so that i wouldn't ever need to hear their voice ever again

i hate the sound of their voice
i hate it when they speak
i hate it when they tell me things
i hate it when they talk to me

i just wanna be alone
i just wanna be without them
even the sound of their laughter is awful
it's disgusting me

i hate it
i hate it, really
i can't even write this stupid thing
because their voices are too much

i can't find the words
the right words to express it
i hate it, i hate them
i want them away

i want them to go away
i want to be alone
i hate them
please go

please, just go
i want to be alone
i want to be alone
i want to be alone

i want to be alone.
