I'm getting tired of waiting, my head is clearly stating. Do you think I'm crazy? The way I'm acting lately? Spending hours sailing, pages are unveiling, all attempts are failing, you're getting back too early. Seems like every time I take a try you have stuff for me to do but I wonder why? Is it such a rare thing you've never known before that there's people needing time to hide behind a door? Can't you see? Can't you see that I just need some privacy? All I want, all I need for you to do is let me be. Can you leave me alone my time is here to do the deed. All things pass and it is best for both of us if you can't see the game I'm playing when I'm down and jaded. I'm sure you do it too, so don't act like you're cool. It never was a rule, got kicked out of the pool, so now I'm in my room cleaning out the tomb. (CHORUS)...me like this way, what a lovely day, you should go outside, stop taking up my time. (CHORUS x2)

I Need a Vacation

In my room, chomping at my finger nails, I’m staring at the ceiling fan and praying that this hell I’m in will end. But I’m skeptical and I’m stressing over nothing, and I’m sweating shaking, panicking and I just know and I just that I need, I need a vacation. I need, I need a vacation right now. I need, I need a vacation. If I could only get out of my head. I need, I need a vacation right now. I need, I need a vacation. If I could only get out of my house. Second thoughts are all that I can think of, and I know that I'm annoying her, and my dad thinks that I'm a useless piece of shit. Friday night, another night without social plan but I got this bottle right here. I think I’m gonna, think I’m gonna die and (CHORUS) Klonopin won’t do the trick. My sexless life is a crock of shit. I hate my friends and they hate me too; there’s nothing I can do. (CHORUS)

There's something here, but I don't fear what I may not know about it. Something unclear kicked in high gear makes me feel at home when I'm with you. Deep inside my head there's a place for you; different parts of life that we suffered through. When I'm overwhelmed and I'm so confused, take me back before we were so abused. If I could look with the strongest zoom can I mark out a corner of the universe for me and you and our best friends too; bring the tennis court and I'll bring the swimming pool. Deep inside my heart there's a place for you; what was empty has been filled with something new. When the sky falls down and the world's on fire; I don't know what I'd do without you. Waiting in your doorway, sitting on the porch; looking for an answer, looking sort of lost. I'm not so confident, so say a compliment; tell me anything and make all these dreams come true. You are the only one who stuck with me through good times and bad. You are my only friend who understands me when I'm mad. You are the only one who listens to me when everything falls apart and nothing goes according to plan. Deep inside my heart there's a place for you; what was empty has been filled with something new. When the sky falls down and the world's on fire; I don't know what I'd do without you. (CHORUS)

Afterthought

I’ve been picking up the pieces of this broken heart and putting everything I have into these words, and I’ve been trying to help you handle it all, but I just can’t bear this weight anymore. It takes two to make any of this work but you can’t be bothered to even lift a finger for me. I’ve been loving for the both of us but you just want to live in your bubble. We could break away from a life of mediocrity, but self-restriction is the name of your game. It’s not that simple, that’s what you said, but all those chains are all in your head. So I refuse to be your runner-up anymore, and I refuse to take a backseat to your confused misguided concept of another happy ending. I don’t wanna be a memory, but I refuse to be an afterthought. Lately, you've been telling me about how you two argue every night, it’s like you can’t get any sleep anymore. Last week you said you wanna fight to stay together. I’m not a shoulder to cry on when I could never lean on you. I always thought we were more; something I won’t ignore. I always thought that we were something worth fighting for. (CHORUS) I would’ve walked through hell for you, but I won’t walk alone, aloooooooooooooooooooooooooooone (CHORUS)

Pity the Fool

My parents warned me that things would be hard. I'm not so sure how I got this far. I remember back when I could see all my friends almost every day of the week. Now we've all moved to different cities and it's a real pity that no one can make any plans. Nobody told me that being grown up would also mean being alone. Guess I'll just go to bed early again since there's nothing much left I can show. All that I want is somebody to say everything will fall into place someday; things will be okay. There's just a part of myself that's been stuck in stasis and can't develop right, making it hard for me to find new people with whom I have common ground. Nobody told me; I never knew. Nobody told me; maybe I'm just a fool. My parents warned me that things would be hard. I'm not so sure how I got this far. All that I want is somebody to say. Tell me that everything is okay.

Go on ahead and forget me; I wish I could lose these memories of all the times you were nice to me. Those times I made you laugh, those times you made me smile were for nothing, and everything was nothing. Like all good things on Earth are fleeting, and so are the times I felt complete from being next to you. I want to feel like something, something of worth to somebody else, but when your eyes are wandering, I know you're not focusing on me. Like all good things on Earth are fleeting, and so are the times I felt complete. Surrender all my hope; I'm defeated. I thought the search was over and done. Go on ahead and go quickly; the sooner we go the sooner I'll get over it, but far from any guarantee. Now every second of joy remembered, under scrutiny, double checking. Did you really feel the way I thought you were feeling that day? (CHORUS)
