it’s strange being on the inside of the
outside, my body is in circles
it’s fine, i see outside the fishbowl
it’s mine, i don’t mind, it’s not like
i can’t see the rest
they’re just like what i see
they’re inside my head
it’s everything to me
we change and things always seem to get untied, i trip over my feet again
it’s fine, i’ll say something else to them tonight, i don’t mind, it’s not like
i can walk away
from everything i see
it’s inside my head
it’s everything to me
i can change my thoughts
but i can’t change what they mean so i pretend that i forgot
and keep staring out blankly

Losing Touch (NYC)
02:29
|

it’s so goddamn easy to lose touch
i’ve been around but i haven’t been around that much
do you think i’m losing it do you think about me at all
if you call i’d answer but you never call
and i don’t answer
too busy thinking about natural disasters
and i don’t answer
too busy watching everything shatter
i miss talking to you or anybody honestly
i take the train just to watch strangers be lonely
do you think i’m losing it do you think about me at all
if you wanted to and i wanted to we could talk
but i don’t answer
too busy thinking about crumbling plaster
and i don’t answer
too busy watching time turn faster
and i don’t answer
too busy waiting for everyone to scatter
and i don’t answer
too busy looking for what comes after
it’s so goddamn easy to lose touch
sorry i haven’t been around it’s always just too much

call me when you're frustrated
instead of my name
date me just for july
one whole year of pouring rain
i can't stand to lose it
use me baby or i'm useless
i'm so tired of feeling stupid
teach me something i'm so clueless
i want to love until i’m cut in half
do you want me back? you wanted me when you were feeling sad
i want to love until i’m cut in half
do you hate me now? you wanted me when you were feeling down
call me when you’re hung up
i can’t help but i can hurt
miss me when it’s august
but you promised someone else
i can’t stand to lose it
use me baby or i'm useless
just another loser
use me baby you’re a user
i want to love until i’m cut in half
do you want me back? you wanted me when you were feeling sad
i want to love until i’m cut in half
do you hate me now? you wanted me when you were feeling down
i can't stand to lose it
use me baby or i'm useless
i can't stand to lose it
use me baby or i'm useless
i want to love until i’m cut in half
do you want me back? you wanted me when you were feeling sad
i want to love until i’m cut in half
do you hate me now? you wanted me when you were feeling down
i want to love until i’m cut in half
do you want me back? you wanted me when you were feeling sad
i want to love until i’m cut in half
do you hate me now? you wanted me when you were feeling down
i can't stand to lose it
use me baby or i'm useless
i can't stand to lose it
use me baby or i'm useless

you could talk my heart into your hand
but you could never make me a better man
reconcile
i’ll never be an upright citizen
i’m slanted fuck i said this in another worse ballad
i need hobbies i need friends i need to read their messages
forgive me for all that i’ve been
i’ve been using you like you’ve been using me
forget me for saying all the stupid things
life is what someone else has already sang
reconcile
i’ll never sing with any better pitch
i’m a bitch fuck i’ve been swearing like a sailor since a kid
i need healthcare i need friends i need to pay my therapist
forgive me for all that i’ve sinned
i’ve been using you like you’ve been using me
forget me for saying all the stupid things
life is what someone else has already sang
you could talk my heart into your hand
but you could never make me a better man
and you could never make a better man
no you could never love me enough to dance

Have a Good One

you’ll go
i know
you’ll go
i know
the trees are too green and it’s too warm for a moment that’s supposedly dying
the sea is too deep and it’s too cold for something that i’ll probably die in
the world is too big for us to pretend that this was merely coincidence
but i’m too afraid to say anything that could possibly jeopardize it
the trains are so loud when they make a break to get out of this city
the days are so round and i never know when exactly they’re ending
i don’t want to be the one to say i told you so
so i won’t be the one to say i told you so
you’ll go
i know
the rain is too wet and it’s too long waiting between broken showers
the things have been said but they’re too small to make me less of a coward
the city’s too busy for us to sit easy where minutes meet hours
and i’m too appalled to say what i saw when i got to the top of the tower
the smoke hit our lungs when we smiled at the floor late in the morning
the joke was on us and all we could see was the distortion blurring
i don’t want to be the one to say i told you so
so i won’t be the one to say i told you so
you’ll go
i know
you’ll go
i know
i don’t want to be the one to say i told you so
so i won't be the one to say i told you so
i don’t want to be the one to say i told you so
so i won’t be the one to say i told you so

crystal, i’m sorry i ruined you
that joke isn’t funny anymore
you spoke to me about god
i’m just glad she remembered my name
you never notice me
i want to tell you things are okay
to the girl that made me laugh,
i hope you find the one
i don’t ever see myself breaking up with you
i don’t ever see myself breaking up with you
i don’t ever see myself breaking up with you
i don’t ever see myself breaking up with you
(is anybody real anymore)

i left the party early
i didn’t even go home
my keys were in my pockets
all i did was run
the streets were undefeated
another winning season
my keys were in my pockets
a new day had begun
the air outside was humid
i wondered how to breathe
my keys were in my pockets
the past was almost done
i thought about calling
but couldn’t find the number
my keys were in my pockets
how do you know someone
i left the party early
i didn’t even go home
my keys were in my pockets
all i did was run
i went to your apartment
you didn’t even live there
my keys were in my pockets
i noticed the world spun

do you wanna go to bed

do you wanna make a joke

do you wanna be real fuckin mean
do you wanna fall in love

like two real stupid teens
and i know you will say yes
and try to get me undressed
but i think you’re kind of cool
but i’d rather just be friends with you
do you wanna touch my hair
do you wanna touch my hair
do you wanna touch everything
do you wanna drive me home
do you wanna drive me home
after we have done nothing
do you wanna text her drunk
do you wanna text her drunk
and pretend like it’s me
do you want another drink
do you want another drink
at some lame adult party
and i know you will say yes
and try to get me undressed
but i think you’re kind of cool
but i’d rather just be friends with you

i’ll believe you when you tell me it's just a simulation
binary code of some past civilization
but your computer parts found my computer heart
i won’t believe you when you tell me we’re not real
i’ll believe you when you tell me this is all a mistake
an inevitable result of gravity and space
but when we sleep i know it’s where i’m supposed to be
i won’t believe you when you tell me we’re not real

i’d give anything to go back to october
i’d tell myself to run out of the hospital
you are not sick, you’re electric, you can’t stay here
he is running out of bottles to drown himself in
i’d give anything to go right to november
i’d run out of this deathly place into his arms
you are not sick, you’re electric, you can’t stay here
he is running out of tops to spin
i’d give anything to be in another body
one that i can trust and won’t bleed
you are not sick, you’re electric, you’re a liar
alone in your room on a friday night
i’d give anything to be on another planet
one that i can actually breathe in the air
you are not sick, you’re electric, you’re a liar
not alone in his room on a friday night

woke up in the late afternoon
by the time i went outside i didn’t have a shadow
i am here today
gone tomorrow
you are the same way
even if i don’t believe it
sat down in my thoughts and didn’t move
forgot i had half a mind telling me it’s time to go
i am here today
gone tomorrow
you are the same way
even if i don’t believe it
tell me what do you believe in
when the sky is getting darker
and the sun has left for good
and the planets have stopped spinning
and nothing you say is understood
i am here today
gone tomorrow
you are the same way
even if you don’t believe it
tell me what do you believe in
cuz i believe in you

a letter to the editor
i think you’ve read my work before
because i wrote it all for you
i said i wrote it all for you by now
and it’s only been a couple hours
or several if that’s how you count
from the first time i watched you go
for the last time
i died when i watched you walk away
the whole world ended and nothing changed
but look i’m good, i know you are too
i said i wrote it all for you
a letter to the editor
you’ll never guess what i wished for
you’ll never guess, you’ll probably kill me
but i’ll understand, completely really
if you have to see me go
i know i’m hard to get a hold of
cuz i’ve been held for far too long
but not long enough for the two of us
but what i said is what i meant
i don’t believe things like this can end
i could be fine but i don’t want to be
i’d rather feel this way eternally
a letter to the editor
i don’t know what i’m looking for
but i wrote it all for you, it turns out
i never even knew until now

i don’t wanna be your coffin
i just wanna see Niagara Falls
there’s nails in the walls
nails in the walls
word on the street is you’ve been walkin’
i don’t wanna be your coffin
you’d look good in Tennessee
stare straight at me
stare straight at me
word on the street is total silence
wanna get sentimental, saccharine, and detrimental?
oh yeah i can get nostalgic, oh yeah baby i can get sick
i don’t wanna be your coffin
or on a train through Battle Creek
your voice makes me weak
you make me weak
word on the street is you’ve been talkin’
i don’t wanna be your coffin
just want a place on Sunset Strip
can you take me with
can you take me with
word on the street is the weather’s boring
wanna get sentimental, saccharine, and detrimental?
oh yeah i can get nostalgic, oh yeah baby i can get sick
oh yeah i can get nostalgic, oh yeah it’s almost too quick
i don’t want to be your coffin
i just want to be your best friend
i don’t want to be your coffin
i just want to be your best friend

Dammit every track makes me smile. How did you do that? If a friend recommends this album to you, hang on to them because they're just as fabulously messed up as you are. I'd like to thank my bank for allowing me to buy things online again. Thank you. Everyone. Thanks.
