You gave up what you wanted
Started second guessing everything
I guess when you hit that point
You gravitate towards anything
It’s all a ride on expectations
Never meeting almost any
As the water weighs the whole boat down
I dip and find a new way
The old ways
Yeah they tend to bite your ass
It’s strange
How quickly everything can change
Your head stays locked in place
But your brain escapes
And the whole days down the drain
There’s always too much on my mind
WELL GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER THEN
Sparking up inside
Drifting off against one of four walls
In my lost sense of time
At best I stay uncertain
Conventionally lame
The bottom line is no one cares
And I’m burned out anyway
Hey
So what
It’s all the same
Another day left to say
“Scatterbrain,
Burden times nine”

GET WITH IT

What do you wanna do now? I just found out I
Have this urge to get in internet fights
A new progressive hobby that enriches my soul
And I know for sure is super healthy
But you don’t know
Cause you dont know shit
You don’t know
Get with it
It’s safe to say we’re fading away
just locked in infinite space
and nothing better to do with it
“The truth is that I’m right and you’re wrong”
says everyone in room.
I think I’m ready to die now.
Is it just me or is everything on edge of being deeply depressing?
I can’t tell if we’re all feeling shitty or if I’m just close to 30
Perspective stays in the same damn room
I sit
And wonder why
I’m still bored
When I literally just got high
A new sign
Of shouldered attempts
To figure out exactly what the fuck to do with my time
But you don’t know
Cause you don’t know shit
You don’t know
Get with it

Sunset across the interstate
It’s that time of day
The subtle blues fade into orange as I fade away
And the road keeps turning
I keep thinking
I’m glad that I’m going
Where am I going?
Well I can’t care less
Playing to a sold out room
Okay, there’s just one dude
And he don’t give a shit how we do
And everyone else knows it
I am destined to bore with nothing new
Wake up
Stare at the off-white ceiling
Pick up
My phone with one eye open and
Smash it to the ground
I’m sick of everyone still around
And I am waiting for the flame that lets the whole world know I’d burn it fucking down
So listen, I know just where I’m standing
At the same time, can’t wait to fuck it up
It seems like nothing fun can last forever but it’s
What you do to get through.

What the fuck is happening?
Holy shit its getting old
And while I’m dumb enough to care, not wise enough to know:
The meaning gets lost in emotion
It’s always been that way
No chance on getting through
Nothing’s a decent time
I hate everyone and we’re all here to die
Let’s hope that it’s fun or we look cool
Don’t hang around to lose your brain
(It never seems to change)
You wouldn’t wanna stick around this sad place anyway
(Not a fucking thing)
And now I’m stuck on a thought
But while we waste our time
I’ll try to catch my breath yeah I’ll try to get some sleep
What’s in the poison?
Where is the reason?
I guess it’s always been that way
It’s never seems to change
Not a fucking thing
But while we waste our time
I’ll try to catch my breath yeah I’ll try to get some sleep
Try to find my footing, while nothing ever meets
And no one ever asks if we’re getting what we need
So with our heads face down on the ground,
pretend we’re nothing and we’ll show you fuckin’ wrong

OCEAN BLUE

Distracted
Can’t find the sound
And your vision’s still hazy from the last trip round n round yeah
You say you can’t help it when you’re down
But when you’re back, figure it out
GO!
You can’t let your friends down once again
Or can you? I know it’s been a weird fucking time
Still burned out on let downs and I’m losing my mind but
Tonight I hope you’re all doing fine
And where do you cross a faded line?
It seems unfair but ocean blue
Too much
Of your favorite thing
It might be grey
It’s not what you say yesterday that counts
Spend an afternoon of waiting for a morning that you sleep through and it shows
That nothing ever hits the way it did
Back when burning up the backyard, happiness was second nature in my head
But I kept up
While I slept in
Nothing was ever perfect, it was fine
And I stood by
Watching time
Pass me as I evaporate inside
That’s why
I think I’ll do what I want
It’s not that I don’t care
That’s just my boring response
Tell me something I don’t know
The future looks _____
