Chairs 2 01:49
you lost your dog he ran away and just like him you didn't stay but that's okay it's just a shame I can't relate and through your eyes I'm just a joke and you hung up when I misspoke I'm not surprised at all you probably cried and all I never meant to make you feel like all your problems weren't real now all those trips to abbeville weren't worth the thrill comparing to your next of kin as if you'd want to hear that again I'm just too cold and take too long to get to know

Middle Shelf 03:16
I wanna know why you think they're well fed don't you know that they're already dead I wanna know what you see in your self you belong on the middle shelf I wanna know how you think you grew up a real bad life with a lot of good stuff I disagree with how you think it should be I see you, but you are me I don't align with how you play I won't be fooled by your monet you are fine after wine she is thine for good times you are living out their lie nothing's yours so go and buy your go buy your smiles drink for a while and complain I wanna know why you think they're well fed don't you know that they're already dead I wanna know what you see in your self you belong on the middle shelf I wanna know how you think you grew up a real bad life with a lot of good stuff I disagree with how you think it should be I see you, but you are me I don't align with how you play I won't be fooled by your monet but you will never, ever know you are fine after wine she is thine for good times you are living out their lie nothing's yours so go and buy your go buy your smiles leave the aisle and be sane

all the lines that parallel me won't sell on screens all of the movies I see don't mean a thing all of my rhymes can stay in my mind drive around to feel free but these songs don't know me. and it's not right with the guise of glorified cries applauding sighs fooled for wise can't justify why your friends rely sympathize you can't deny try always wanting to ask always wanting to know why you just don't care maybe somethings wrong, or maybe you're not there something's gotta change. always wanting to ask...

I've been reading up on more than just one book finding all the truths so often overlooked when all my life i'm told I'll never have enough and living in the south can really fuck you up tell my mom and dad I'm not afraid to die let them know it's okay I'd rather be alive when all my life i'm told I'll never have enough and living in the south can really fuck you up and you'll keep pushing me I'll never have enough when all you ever did was really fuck me up

Inner State 02:35
black tires will turn to grey some inner state a lullaby is played from miles away strings on guitar will break my mind will fade while every card that's played is a mistake
6.
Align 05:02
it's not my fault they moved away to better real estate it's hard to talk with someone else who never can relate I've been wasting all my time on conversations undefined never knew why I just can't make all the stars align one day you'll say look what i've become don't shake the mistakes back when we were young you won't relate it's not the path I wanna take its hard enough we're both adults for goodness sake across the board I was bored for way too long I'm convinced I was never in the wrong when all you want was a letter in return to solve it all but one day maybe I'll learn

Mess 03:49
yes I am over you can't you say the same for me if you wanted too I'm not who you thought I'd be what was I to do you never thought I'd leave and abandon you guess this all just falls on me yes I am done with you I never thought you'd leave there's nothing left to prove you and I could never be I don't keep up with you or your so called family accept the fucking truth this is how it's supposed to be all these things you stop and talk about I don't really care how it feels what's the point in trying to figure out what went wrong when the milk's already spilled why expose yourself to anymore pointless details better left concealed it's been so real you know I feel bad

Truancy 02:58
I call you on the phone asking if you're home again you say that you're alone say that you can use a friend you act like I don't know but ever since this all began I've known how this goes but I can't say how it will end well I guess I shouldn't bite my tongue and really tell you how I feel but I won't say that I'm in love I know that wasn't part of this deal so I'll just settle for good enough and live with what I know is real I'll pour all I have into your cup even if it overspills real life is right outside your daydream you find yourself there in due time don't occupy your free mind on trending thoughts...

Emily 03:23
stuck in your bed you've had enough of what she said it's not her fault at all the truth makes you upset mishandled rage was just the icing on the cake I'm not the one to blame for all of your mistakes hang around your closest friends and you start acting up again familiar games pass the blame we feel the same victimize the ones you love realize we've had enough familiar games pass the blame we feel the same stuck in your bed no one to talk to or relate can't take advice without you getting so irate you can't run away from what you say or depend on next saturday set it off days before the break no one's there to cure your stomachache
