I read the words on your face and I know you you’re never coming back.
I read the words on the page and I know I’d better cut some slack.
I’m on my way home but you told me never to come back.
Sometimes this world is strange and you will fall from atop your stack.
And the world spins around
And I’m stuck upside down
Spins so fast, I dig a hole, deep in the ground.
And I want to run but I can’t see very straight.
I don’t want to go, but you say we’re gonna be late.
This world is filled with people, hungry for the knowledge they can’t know.
Our minds are set to think that there is only one place left to go.
You walk away with things you have but I’ve got nothing left to show.
Soon I will fall from my stack and you’ll watch and laugh from down below.
And the world spins around.
And I’m stuck upside down.
Dig so deep in the ground, I’m all alone with no other sound.
And I want to talk, but I see there’s nobody here.
All alone, time to think, so many thoughts but my head is clear.

Control the future
Control the past
Let's play fugazi
And kick some ass
I'm super anxious
Let's start this fast
Wish we
Were serious
Let’s be Mallrats
I’ve been wondering
What's been going on
Why have we been stalling
Where has our passion gone?
Afraid of losing
Losing our magic
So paranoid of
Being a dick.
I miss the summer
When we were free
My heart would beat when
I drove down Maryland Street
And in the winter
Chinese at Ming-Ten
I’ve never felt closer
To my best friends
But now i'm vexed and
Overcritical
Your stained reflections
Echo around my skull
Am I boring you?
Or am I losing control?
I think I’m boring you
This is all my fault?

Lots of people went outside today
And they'll all have something to say
Like the sky is really gray
And I’m just sitting here wasting away
Broken fingers on the guitar string
Broken drums and a mic that swings
Like a bird with broken wings
And a voice that cannot sing
Existential crisis every night
Look in the mirror can’t stand the sight
Of a man with a broken life
Can’t seem to do anything right
Don’t understand socially
Why you won't be friends with me
Give them time and then they’ll see
Probably just gonna die alone
Cause it’s 5:55
And i'm barely alive
Sitting in my bedroom
Wasting time
Lots of people went outside today
And they'll all have something to say
Like the sky is really gray
And I’m just sitting here wasting away
Solitary time in my time
So bored I'm losing my mind
Sorry if I didn’t say hi
I've got a lot of things on my mind
Think I'm making a bigger deal
About the way I feel
These feelings just seem so real
I don't have nerves of steel.

Feeling so stupid in the face of defeat,
It’s all I’ve ever known
And now I am alone.
Got a broken path underneath my feet,
And now I'm terrified to finally move on.
All I wanna hear you say is that you’re fine with me living this way.
I want you here,
Despite my year,
At Community College.
And I don’t wanna let you down, but I don’t really want to be here
I hate feeling inferior and one upped by a group of my peers.
But your face, disdained, the guilt remains, to break my stupid heart.
And the qualms, unsolved, will never dissolve until I’m sure they’ve left a mark.
Now I am left helpless by my own misguided thoughts,
Reflecting on the choices of the things I should’ve fought
Without a doubt in my mind, the fault is mine, for not trying hard enough
Fuck the past, it never lasts I should have never given up.
All I wanna hear you say is that you don’t hate me for living this way.
