Melon 02:33
My melon has twisted Your vision has shifted Like a lemon, you're acidic But at the moment i'm addicted.
2.
i’ve been sitting here for days, wondering if i can come home yet, cause i’m so dead i separated the words you said to see if i could even form something that makes a little fucking sense in my brain. it started with a little conversation, but i know, i know you’re so impatient. came round anyway, i came round one more time just to tear myself in two. but i knew that in the end, that you’re never gonna see me, never gonna hurt me, slipped well away from the wreck that you made me. seemed like the one in the wrong, you made me seem like the one in the wrong. drag me home again, 18 years old and i’m a fucking mess. drag me by my feet, said i wasn’t ready and it came back and hit me, i got the quote left by the side but i know i’m not taking this shit anymore.

Cool 01:55

Ache 01:56
i could pour my heart out in this empty song but it makes no difference if people sing along would the pain erase itself or be sat upon my shelf have i really even achieved if i own a trophy of my grief i know he never really wanted to be another boy with the desire for a time machine but maybe if he hadn’t used you all along he wouldn’t shake and you would ache as he sings this song
6.
Weekend 01:52
scared of another weekend, taking it out on myself fucking sick of it i’ve been aware of the end and i’m dreading it can’t help but feel that i fail at everything even the way that i walk on the pavement don’t think i’m gonna be able to save you i couldn’t even look at you now i’m too fucking scared to walk on the pavement.

Way Home 02:46
i was on the way home i had run away i had nowhere to stay my friends had gone away they know i’m not okay
8.
School 03:19
it’s my last month of college i still haven’t had sex yet i’m pouring out the reasons why i feel like the world’s dead there’s something in my body that i know shouldnt be there i’ve told myself a thousand times it’s not a catastrophe but what’s more catastrophic than not wanting to be me i’ve been asking the questions again, like if i was old would it matter, if i stayed in school would i give it all up if i didn’t care would i bother i know that i’ve been trying to submerge it all i found a boy, he was locked in his room this boy he sure doesn’t like to come out and and he doesn’t like to move. he worries that his bands are just too underrated but he knows that everything is always put in his places i don’t feel for him, he pisses me off he keeps on staying up but he knows that he can stop he likes to keep his thoughts all to himself he wants to try heaven but he’s already in hell and i hate him, and he hates me just stop crying over nothing. like if i was old would it matter, and if i was dumb would it swallow me up and if i didnt care would i bother i know that i’ve been trying to submerge it all and if i could wait for the summer would it still be bad, would i be fed up if i was cool would you see me as someone that you might wanna hang around with and if i weren’t such a fucking coward, maybe we could tie another knot around this like if i was old would it matter, if i stayed in school would i give it all up if i didn’t care would i bother i know that i’ve been trying to submerge it all if i could wait for the summer would it still be bad would i be fed up if i weren’t such a fucking coward maybe i could find my way out of bad luck
9.
Chicago Town 01:26
i found tranquility up on your bed how’d you know it’s not in my head? spend most of the time getting worked up over nothing like a record on repeat, i can’t stop thinking listen to Nevermind just sit back and waste time like we do every night it’s just us, you and i
10.
What I Want 03:42
is it what i want? is it what i need? my lungs flood at the thought of us just smoke up, maybe we’ll turn to dust maybe we’ll learn to trust if i ask you a question answer, got this feeling in my head i’ve asked you a thousand times but you speak no answer, every word is done
11.
Johnny B Bad 03:19
persistency is what you never could achieve. talk to me,tell me everything you see. the end is what you never could perceive. fall for me, tell me everything you need. i went to the extremes to find a way, but the next morning you threw it away.
