When the ground caves in and folds under us
All you’ll want is attention
With the plague closing in at your doorstep
You’ve got your joke of a family worth defending
Take that all to the bank
I hope they all close, sink, and degrade
When I’m hanging in the back room of my work
You’ll make it all about you
And at my funeral, empty as it might be
You’d find something better to do
I got your tactics down
Throw me in the ocean and watch me drown
You’re settling again
Nothing has changed
You’re never my friend
But nothing has changed
Complaining again
Nothing has changed
Out of the bend
But nothing has changed

In that small studio apartment
With the views of the mountains
Where that first message in 4 years was sent
And that tiny life shared together
The found furniture from Goodwill
Do you still wish you had ever bothered?
The patio out front and the broken door
Leading to a one person kitchen
The one spot without the brown tiled floor
Do mistakes hurt more at the time or after
Do you think they were mistakes, after, or just now at the time?
Do you ever look back at the beginning
Were we sinning, or having fun
And is there ever really a difference between
I remember going out for walks when I could manage it
When I could manage not drinking
When I could get out of bed
I remember taking you out at night for drives
When my car would work
When my mind would work
I remember missing you waking up in the morning
When the dog was barking
When you put your jacket on and left
And I don’t think it was really a mistake
But it’s not an excuse for me
And it still means everything to me still
Even though I may not know what that means
Or what any of this will mean
But I think I was a mistake
I think I don’t want to be here any more
I don’t think I was ever really needed
But needed to feel it somehow
From someone
And when it didn’t happen I couldn’t handle it
I couldn’t handle me
Or you
Or us
I never could
I never will

Hey Hannah
Hey Hannah
You’re my best friend
And I can’t want to see you again
You’re my favorite family member
Can’t wait for all our adventures together
Illinois might be boring
But it’s not like I’m doing anything here anyways
Just need some movies
And a place where I’m myself to stay
Hey Hannah
Hey Hannah
You’re my best friend
And I can’t want to see you again
Hang out with daddy cage
I know that he’s your favorite actor
And those things might change
I’m ready to not be alone for once with trump fascists
Hey Hannah
Hey Hannah
You’re my best friend
And I can’t want to see you again
In all serious
Sometimes I wanna fucking die
And it’s okay to turn to you
When I’m feeling low inside
And I hope I do the same
It’s nice to be needed
It’s nice for a change

Guess you say I’m doing alright at work
And Ryan would probably say the opposite
Not because he wants to be mean
But because he’s trying to get me off it
I know I’m better than this
Even Charles is the kitchen manager now
What am I doing here, where am I going
Still wanna get the fuck out of this town
Still wanna get the fuck out of this town
Still wanna find a cool place to hang around
And it ain’t here
Goddamn man, it just ain’t here
My best friend is having a baby
Went to the wedding and thought about my life
Glad he’s happy, glad it worked out
But when will I be close to doing something right
Still wanna get the fuck out of this town
Still wanna find a cool place to hang around
And it ain’t here
Goddamn man, it just ain’t here
Seeing people from high school just ain’t my thing
Seeing their face as I’m passing them in the left lane
And everything just feels the same
Yeah everything just feels the same
Still wanna get the fuck out of this town
Still wanna find a cool place to hang around
And it ain’t here
Goddamn man, it just ain’t here

You love being mad at me
You show it daily
And I didn’t ask for things to be this way
Did this ever matter to you
Before you said we’re through
Or was losing me all you ever wanted to do
And I tried
But this is how it’s going to be
And you lied
When you said you’d try for me
Because it didn’t matter to you
It didn’t matter enough to make a move
You love confronting me
You show it daily
And did you love me, well maybe
But were you in love
Well maybe not enough
Otherwise this would’ve been at least a little bit rough
And I tried
But this is how it’s going to be
And you lied
When you said you’d try for me
Because it didn’t matter to you
It didn’t matter enough to make a move
What’re you thinking
What’re you thinking when you lead me to believe
That this was something you’d continue with me
I know I wouldn’t let you go so easily
But believe me
What were you thinking when you said you were going to leave
This was something I tried for you to continue with me
So what were you thinking
Just tell me what the fuck were you thinking
And I tried
But this is how it’s going to be
And you lied
When you said you’d try for me
Because it didn’t matter to you
It didn’t matter enough to make a move

The shirt you left, with the state logo on it
A cookbook of all our meals out together
Bows and hairpins, always stopping the vacuum
Polaroids I had to take down, things I can’t look at now
It’s all come to this
It’s come to this
The leash is off
The waters falling hard
And this is all
And this is all
I’ll try opening my eyes
Please make them drown
This is all
And this is all
Trips to the store, then back home, then to my place
Sneaking in or sneaking out
Leaving messages even if we were about to be together
Things I can’t listen to now
The plans have faded
And the grass is waning
And this is all
This is all
Leave me to rot
Where you think I’d be happy
This is all
This was all

No one knows where it’s gonna go
Could be fast but we’ll take it slow
Heart break never waits
But I like the depth in hesitation
No one knows where I’ll end up
Had a glass and you filled up my cup
But some things spilled out
Tell me when you’re thinking about
Cause these are long days
These are such desperate times
They come and they go and come round again
Almost if we would barely begin
Is this just a phase
Doing all my crimes
They come and they go and come round again
Just a sinner who wants to repent
But no one knows
Where this will go
Take your things no please give them back
See your tears come down and retract
It’s been a long year
Wouldn’t have missed it even with this fear
I guess love can just see its way out
Like a lighthouse that doesn’t look out
Such long spent dreams
Just us two, you and me
Cause these are long days
These are such desperate time
They come and they go and come round again
Almost as if we would barely begin
Is this just a phase
Doing all my Crimes
They come and they go and come round again
Just a sinner who wants to repent
But no one knows
Where this will go
If the dynamics change will the world go with it
If I start to change can I ever be complicit
If the moon drops will it drop right on us
If I am dying will you still look up
To me
To me
To me

Your life just gets brighter
Finally got to do things only I could for a while
Does it make you feel like a man my dear
Have her get you a beer
This time you didn’t have to molest her
we both know that habitual’s the word
But a prose lower than your child chose couldn’t have gotten you out of the fucking dirt
And it’s obligatory to hear all the stories
How things went when she took off her clothing
You’re molding into something better I guess they say
When all you have to do is not fucking make prey
Out of those closest to you, do you think you’ve made any moves
Against conforming to a herd of pathetic white gamer dudes?
And you’ve grown so fucking indifferent
Towards a love that’s been anything but consistent
The whole time you were so fucking lethargic
To call it love would just be beyond ironic
I knew what you’d done on several occasions
Didn’t have the guts to pretend it wasn’t vacation
Dove straight into the dating scene as if that’s what anyone wants to see
Just a bro who didn’t give a fuck about his family
Had to sell the bobble heads and vr set
I’m sure that’s the worst causality you’d thought you’d met
And I’m sure it might’ve hurt inside
But you didn’t start a fight and it wasn’t brave it was fucking spineless
And you’ve grown so fucking indifferent
Towards a love that’s been anything but consistent
The whole time you were so fucking lethargic
To call it love would just be beyond ironic
Made a song because needed to
Sing along if you’re through too
Sing along if you’ve ever hated
Needed something to keep me wasted
Find a friend who you can confide with
Find someone who makes you feel guarded
Don’t waste a year being someone else
Don’t waste your time pretending what you’ve felt
