I am not afraid of, i am not afraid of ghosts
but i'm still afraid of, i am still afraid of you
though you're like a ghost to me, am i a ghost to you?
it's been years away and its been years you in my head
and its not romantic and its not obsessive to know that i fucking hate you,
and its neverending – the point that im trying to make is i know that we're through,
but i can't get over you
i am missing you for some reason im not sure why
and i am dreading it, leaning on life as it passes me by
and its not romantic and its not obsessive to know that i fucking hate you,
and its neverending – the point that im trying to make is i know that we're through,
but i can't get over you

just another day

You told me to go
To go away
You told me to leave
Leave far away
Am I dreaming
Or is this just another day
Am I lonely
Or am I doing okay
You told me to stop
Talking to you
You told me to go
Get some help before I kill myself
Am i dreaming
Or is this just another day
Of classes and drinking
Sounds like i'm doing okay
So tell me i'm drunk, tell me i'm wasted,
Tell me everything is going so well
So tell me i'm depressed, anxious, in need of medications,
To be like myself
Am i dreaming
Or is this just another week
Of classes and drinking
Sounds like i'm doing okay

off myself
02:38

i sat outside,
in the cold, cold darkness
i imagined a time when things were so harmless,
when i didnt have so much debt, when the outside world wasnt a threat,
when i could sleep
i sat outside,
the sky looks the same,
i imagined a time when i didnt feel such shame,
when people didnt know my name,
or my address to send me all my grades,
when i couldnt read
and i dont know how to get back to myself
i lost my way and now i want to - off myself
i dont know how i got this way, i want to go back to that day and punch myself

Did I make a mistake
Will I live to regret
I don't want to live to regret
Is this what I wa nt to do
Is this what makes the best
version of me, im over me
It hurts to breathe
It hurts to leave my head alone
pains me to see the ways this could go wrong
It hurts to breathe
It hurts to leave my head alone
i guess i will live and go
on about the things i havent done
its always adding up
It hurts to breathe
It hurts to leave my head alone
pains me to see the ways this could go wrong
It hurts to breathe
It hurts to leave my head alone
it hurts to think
it hurts to be
it hurts to think
it hurts to be

a chance with you
04:44

She was too amazing for me,
I didn't stand a chance
She had eyes, that you would not believe the size of everything she sees
She had heart that you would not believe still starts
Parting out to buyers on eBay
I would die
For a chance with you
A dance with you
I would die
For a date with you
Some time with you
I would die
I was too, busy being sad
About what could have been
To see through, the possibilities
That could be

how i lost my legs

I want to tell a story
About how i lost my legs
A shark came and bit them off
And as he swam away i begged
To have them back it would
Be a travesty
I would need to learn
How to sew and stitch again
But he didn't give them back
I swam away in pain
I learned how to use a wheelchair and sing
Do you feel the way i do
A part of me got lost in a part of you
Do you feel the way i do
You played the shark and i waited for you
The voices they tell me
I didn’t need my legs
This is who i am now
And i better not beg
For the shark to come back
And give me back what's mine
I've gotten this far
And i'm still far behind
And the doctors they told me
There are pills to help with loss
Of stability
And they are worth the cost
And the doctors they tell me
That i won't get them back
They don't grow like evergreens
And i'll keep being sad
So doctors please tell me what is really going on
I've donated hoping to treat what is wrong
Do you feel the way i do
A part of me got lost in a part of you
Do you feel the way i do
You played the shark and i waited for you
So doctors tell me straight up
Is this worth all my time
Or should i go back in the water
And let myself drown this time

I dont know if you care about what ive been up to
I dont know if you heard about my car crash
We haven’t hugged since May
And that may be a mistake
Ive been sitting in my room missing the way you treated me like shit
We don’t look the same
I guess that's what time does when we’ve been so far away,
For so long,
I heard you got a job serving coffee at this bar,
While i was selling televisions and giving my liver scars,
I heard a rumor that you took your boyfriend to the beach,
While i was writing songs about the times that you took me,
We haven’t kissed since May,
And that may have been a mistake,
Ive been drowning in tears from that day,
But we don't look the same,
I guess you lost the weight you gained from stress eating while dating me,
And you don't sound the same,
I guess you aren’t anxious about your voice like you were because of me,
And i don't love you the same,
I guess that's what time does when you’re busy hating me,
We don’t look the same
I guess that's what time does when we’ve been so far away for so long, for so long
