room's not clean

i haven't been sleeping lately
stay up late too much caffeine
my hands are all too shaky
my head's a mess my room's not clean
i get too drunk and fall down
i like it when my knees are bruised
i wish you were around
but the way you act makes me confused
you forgot to tie yr shoelace
here i'll bend down, let me help you
i looked up, saw yr face
you looked away, what can i do
the rain was falling heavy
you close yr eyes, i fake a smile
yr gaze is dark and steady
i'll stick around just for a while
and i like you,
but i think you like her
and i wish you knew,
i wish you remembered
and i told you,
but it was in my dream
and you liked me too,
i don't know what it means

i see you
after school
picking flowers
it seems cool
where's yr vase ?
here's some water,
wash yr face
hey sonny,
i saw you too
help me pick
which bugs are for you
there's some moss
can you toss it ?
let's get lost
there are no words,
there are no words,
there are no words to say
there are no words, etc etc
there is a place
we'll find back home
that's full of spiderwebs
and hollow skies
the daisies remind us
it's too late
there are no words,
there are no words,
there are no words to say
there are no words, etc etc

green
03:45
|

i'm a restless kid
with restless needs
and a deep disdain
for endless grief
but the greens from yr iris
circle my feet
and the touch on my shoulder
is concrete
and you won't notice now,
you just talk slowly
you won't notice now
what you said that day
clear some bramble
before yr dead
we'll be green as a meadow
next to some street
our bodies will be hard,
soft concrete
and you won't notice now,
you just talk slowly
let's go now,
let's go now,
etc etc

palisades mall
03:40
|
|||
my mom drops me off
take a breath and slam the door
meet all my friends
we've all been here before
go shop around,
maybe see a movie
there's the boy from my math class,
he's so dreamy
at the mall
the palisades mall
head to the food court
and ride the ferris wheel
there's some gum on the seats,
i don't know how to feel
maybe go to jeepers,
or dave & busters
there's so many options
i'm feeling flustered
at the mall
the palisades mall
spent my allowance
but i can get some things for free,
bourbon chicken free samples
there's no place i'd rather be
all of the girls
look exactly the same
they don't notice me.
they don't even know my name
urban sprawl
aeropostale
at the mall
the palisades mall

blue house,
i try so hard to pretend
but josh knows
i don't want to be here
let's smoke
shuffling around inside
trying to find a face i recognize
but i don't,
so i'll just smoke cigarettes alone
im shifting in my seat,
but yr caught in my teeth,
and i'm stuck in my chair,
and sarah fell down the stairs
small talk,
i forgot how to make
we brought pot,
but they smoked most of it
fuck them
i dont know how to communicate
so i'll stand and watch and wait
but this foggy nightmare has helped clear the air
from my lungs
im shifting in my seat,
but yr caught in my teeth,
and i'm stuck in my chair,
and sarah fell down the stairs
so i guess i'll just wait,
it's so easy to relate
when yr not thinking about
what yr saying
