Eggshells

I'm throwing eggshells on the ground
'cause I've got nothing to walk on
Seems these days I'm not too proud
Been listening to all them doubts
Yeah, those things you said fucked me up
I'm glad you got what you want
"cause I only want what you want
At least I'm trying to put up the front
'cause we both know,
I'd love to see you fail
I know that lately I've been off
Don't worry nothings wrong
I know it's all in my head
Just some chemical imbalances
Instead of something actually being wrong
'cause I know nothing's wrong
But I've got nothing going on
Time drags on too long when you've got
Too much of it on your hands
Eggshells on the ground
How I get around
In the middle of your shit
Fucking with my head real quick
In the middle of all y'all
Don't know how I'm gonna fall
With these eggshells on the ground

I like the way that you make me think
about what I'm doing, when I'm on the brink
You're awkward anti-social, it's why we get along
But you're stubborn as shit, even when you're fucking wrong
It's kinda cool, it's kinda unique
You actually understand me and you say just what you think
You're kinda sorta weird and I think it's fucking awesome
And I don't know what it is but I wanna see you often
It was such a shitty day was bringing me down
but I'm feeling pretty great now you're around
I think I get why you won't be friends with me
I think it's 'cause we got such good chemistry
Like when we hang out it's for hours at a time
You tell me girls'd be lucky but I'd push em all aside
Just to continue to sit and speak with you
And you know that, it's not true,
when I say, that I'm not into you
Because I'm really into you
I'm really fucking into you

Cookies and Cream

Well, we're running through the shit
We're lost in turbulence
2 misguided ships that are completely spent
Clear to the outside, destruction's imminent
but on the inside, you don't know how it went
But everything is clouded with emotions
All those things we don't have control of
Well at least we tried, were along for the ride
Gave it all we got before it finally died
This will be the last time we fly
This will be the last time we fight
"Cause it's usually every night
from when it's dark until it's bright
So controlled by spite, we don't really care who's right
As long as people have to take sides
As long as people pity our plight
We don't like to talk about our problems
'cause that would mean we'd actually try to solve 'em
We don't like to talk about how we feel
'cause that shit's just way too real
We're all just cookies and cream
Living delusional dreams
We're all white trash and we're covered in ash
Staying inside smoking pack after pack
Fighting the strong urge to leave
Fighting the strong urge to scream
We pretend that if we left, things'd turn out for the best
We act as if people don't have problems way out west
Pretending is all we've got left
It's the only thing that we kept

I feel it when you're looking
I feel it when you're staring
I feel my breathing changing
I see your nostrils flaring out
Tell me what did I do wrong
Guess I'll find out on my own
WHAT HAS GOTTEN YOU SO FUCKING JADED
WHAT HAS GOTTEN YOU THIS WAY, I HATE IT
You're so fake and classless
You usually wear sunglasses
It's cause those big dark masses
Help cover up your small dead eyes
They help you sell all your lies
Convincing some to actually try
So I'll just sit and wonder why

Sure

I am sitting on the side, of a Texas highway
as cops search through my car,
for drugs I know are there
I won't make it very far, at least tonight for sure
For sure, I'm sure, I'm sure
I am so very proud, the way I draw a crowd
Hanging round just like a cloud
Raining pouring coming down
Everybody's gawking now
It's starting to get loud, I am the talk of the town
Can't wait to bring me down
For sure, I'm sure, I'm sure
This week can't get much worse,
I can't take much more hurt
Didn't want to let you down,
But all I do is let you down
Before I blow it up, before I finally blow it up
Ask me is this what I want, is this really what I want?
For sure, I'm sure, I'm sure
for sure, I'm sure, I'm sure

Feel It
05:11

Something in the air tonight,
I think that you can feel it
Moons in phase, them tides have changed
Its gravity has been pulling
Say that you're okay, who you think you're fooling?
Don't you know that I've been trained? I can see right through it
It's always this always that, you're always complaining
Always this, always that, you've got too complacent
It's okay, I'm okay, you know I can take it
It's okay, I'm okay, just tonight, don't fake it
It's okay to say to me that I'm now what you think you need
I'm not afraid to be those things, just let me know what you want from me

Good Boy

Going through my phone when I'm sleeping
You're worried I've been peeking
Going through my phone when I'm sleeping
Wake me up and you are screaming
Asking me who is this? what is that?
I think you should just relax
This happens so often I'm done with the crap
I'm gonna leave and I'm never coming back
'cause I've been a good boy
Going through my head and I'm thinking
There's no way you believe this
Going through my head and I'm thinking
Throwing stuff out but nothings sticking
We have to adress the way that you act
I deserve much better than that
It's not my fault that you're sad
At least my friends are glad to have me back
'cause I'm such a good boy
What's it mean to be good, is it doing as your told?
'cause I do as I'm told everytime that I'm told
What's it mean to be good, is it always backing down?
'cause I'm always backing down, that's what's got me down
If it's out of line to ask, hey, DON'T FUCKING ASK
If you weren't being petty, THEN YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO SAY
What's it mean to be good?
Hey, What's it mean to be good?
'cause I'm such a good boy

Off the Hook
03:41

What will I do, when I am through,
I am finally through with you
I kinda wanna know, I kinda can't wait
Kinda wanna see will I still be filled with hate,
and will things be that great
Because every single time, I think I'm doing fine
then you come around and you step back in my life,
well I just wonder why
like, what is it you get? what have you got to gain?
Does it make you feel good to see that I'm in pain,
and then just walk away?
Let me off the hook, that stupid fucking hook,
Cause I can't even think when you're giving me that look,
that stupid fucking look

The Way You Said It
04:48
|

I wish that I could tell you to go
Just get out of my life and walk out the door
I don't know what I hope to find
But there's a reason you're still on my mind
Been on my mind
For quite some time
Have I told you that I'm losing hope?
Been having trouble letting things go
Yeah, I'll fix myself when I have the time
It's always just a couple months down the line
Some months down the line
Yeah, I'll be fine
I know I interrupt your life
It's so perfect, it's so nice
You've got everything you'd like
Without me and that's just fine
Can't say any of this out loud
I'm too stubborn, I'm too proud
Can't tell anyone how I feel,
Except you and this ain't real
Wasn't ever what you said
More the way you said it
I've been working really hard
Trying to get better
Shouldn't have bothered me
But you know I let it
Know just what I am to you
It's something I've accepted

Heartburn
03:16

I've got heartburn, and I can't sleep
I oughta be careful, watch what I eat
I wanna vomit, then I'll feel fine
Get it out of me, then we'll call it a night
I'll put in the hours and I'll put in the time
I don't know why I'm always trying
Because all I wanna do is occupy my mind
But every time I do I always end up crying
About, something stupid
or someone stupid
like you
like me
I've got heart ache, and I can't sleep
I oughta be careful, watch who I meet
I've got problems, I'm trying to keep
I think that these problems, are what's driving me

Keep Talking
04:33
|
|||
|
We're still in it, but we're not quite in it
Well I don't get it so I can't quite fix it
Well I can't pin it so I don't quite get it
If I keep talking then I can't listen
If I keep talking then I can't listen to you
Maybe,
if we actually talked it out
instead of going straight to blows
every time that i do
something,
stupid that'll piss you off
I'm trying not to piss you off
I'm stupid and I'll piss you off
sometimes,
I'm sorry I'm not better
But I'm trying to be better
Won't be sorry I'll be better and
this time,
I actually mean it,
and I always say I mean it,
but this time I really mean it
I really mean it
We're not quitting, 'cause then who's winnin?
Check the scoreboard if we're tied we can't finish
We're not giving, do you call this living?
We're too stubborn to admit we're finished
If I keep talking then I can't listen
If I keep talking then I can't listen to you
