months of desperate times call for months of desperate measures any circumstances take vacations just for your own pleasure i saw what was happening through the window in my mind i want to see what the others see if you feel so inclined to show me not tell me but what do i have to show i can’t even figure out how to control where a piece of plastic goes i should get over myself i should get over myself i should get over myself i should get over myself long enough to look at everybody else my consciousness is in the corner shelf and i conclude that when i conclude what i was gonna say that doesn’t make it okay that doesn’t make it okay and when the fog clears i’ll be purposely vague so i can assign meaning to anything i say and what’s my deal and what’s my deal tell me who i am help me understand that all of my self worth comes from other people i should probably do something about that seeing as all its done is bring me down but i’m not worthless i’m not worthless i’m not worthless at least not yet

Uniform 4 03:56
Wearing the newspaper Black and white and red in the face As I try to explain I try to explain And when saturday night concedes to sunday morning I will put down my headaches and eat my feelings andl think of new exciting ways to not be lived through I don’t stop for crosswalks but I’ll press the button twice Just to make sure that I won’t die I don’t stop for crosswalks but I’ll press the button twice Just to make sure that I won’t die But at your place is not the place to be When all we want is to be able to see A window into our other lives A thing about our other lives When sunday has nothing to offer me Except the thought of starting a new week I will think of new and exciting ways to wait and see How I’ll be How I’ll be When I’m capable of being confident How I’ll be How I’ll be When I’m capable of being confident How I’ll be I don’t stop for crosswalks but I’ll press the button twice Just to make sure that I won’t die I don’t stop for crosswalks but I’ll press the button twice Just to make sure that I won’t die But it’s too hot out to comprehend The way I feel so I’ll pretend That I’m somebody interesting That I’m somebody interesting When the week has something for me to do To wonder what it’s like to lose you And do nothing about it after the first few days

we’re selling our memories to some kind of entity for the hope that they would remain intact and entertained in talking about you it’s not my intent but i’ve started romanticizing you again go back to a rain soaked easter sunday with your face looking bleak and empty as you stumble to find the address to make some progress to escape to another world go back to a rain soaked easter sunday with your face looking bleak and empty as you stumble to find the address to make some progress to escape to another world no it’s not whatever i meant has been lost in a tide of objection and regret objection and regret no it’s not whatever i meant has been lost in a tide of objection and regret objection and regret i feel like the hair could come clean right off my head as quickly as any pain that decides to stab it’s way through my chest take special notice of the cold spot over my heart putting on an act cause i don’t know how to start explaining to you how i come up with it on that rain soaked easter sunday with your face looking bleak and empty as you stumble to find the address to make some progress to escape to another world go back to a rain soaked easter sunday with your face looking bleak and empty as you stumble to find the address to make some progress to escape to another world

Sad Songs 03:58
I’m so sick of writing sad songs But what else can I do Change the way I view my life or Change the way that I view you It’s almost like some kind of cycle Can’t figure it out at all Might be because of rose-tinted glasses but dear god I miss the fall When you think about it since then So many things have changed For the better For the better But I thought it’d stay the same Why’d I think it’d stay the same I’m glad it didn’t stay the same And maybe I will never be the same Again Why’d I think it’d stay the same I’m glad it didn’t stay the same And maybe I will never be the same Again I don’t feel like anything I don’t feel like anything at all It’s pointless to It’s pointless to talk It’s pointless to open my mouth I’m so sick of writing sad songs I’m so sick of writing sad songs I’m so sick of writing sad songs I’m so sick of writing sad songs I’m so sick of writing sad songs I’m so sick of writing sad songs I’m so sick of writing sad songs But what else can I do I can’t do anything Because I can’t stop feeling this way
