Whatever Makes You Happy

Disastrous love is all to look forward to
it’s so intense it’s so obviously untrue
It's a recurrent slap, a yearly epiphany
Intense passion for, these low possibilities
But it’s free
it’s all for me
And it’s free
it belongs to me
Like how I like rainy days
but just not rainy months
It’s a short lived rush
but I forget I have been their once
But it’s free
it’ all for me
And it’s free
it belongs to me
I think I’ve had enough
I see it in my own eyes
A self analysis
never arrives in time
And everything I’ve said
when I feel I’m drowning
I just pull myself back

Tendency (NBTS)

This makes me feel like I
Might think that you care sometimes
and then it just fades away
and I'm left with nothing else
I could ever say
This is not
This is not
Something that you can see
This is not
This is not
Something that you believe
Everything you see in me
is an ADD tendency
it makes me feel so insecure
when you say what I want but it's not what I thought and I'm not really sure
I just don't know what to think
they all say to just go see a shrink
I'm sorry if I just can't express
The emotions and the feelings and the feelings have real meaning but it's all just a mess
(all just a mess)
This is not
This is not
Something that you can see
This is not
This is not
Something that you believe
This is not
This is not
Fulfilling fantasy
This is not
This is not
Something that you believe
You're only
You're only
You're only
You're only
This is not
This is not
Something that you can see
This is not
This is not
Something that you believe

The lights are fading now
right above my head
And it seems I’m falling down
but I just know instead
I’m always looking out
for long forgotten friends
To make it up this time
we have to go
I'm talking bout the heroes and the waste of the powerful now
Cause you can only see them in the wake,
of California where I can barely find the words to cope and satisfy
why we are all still chasing the dead
And these hours that I’ve left
behind without a chance
They don’t just get reused
like meant to fall through plans
But it’s comfortable for now
and that seems to be ideal
This false sense of optimisms
its just not real
I'm talking bout the heroes and the waste of the powerful now
Cause you can only see them in the wake,
of California where I can barely find the words to cope and satisfy
why we are all still chasing the dead
Just listen
you have to
Please help me save my brand new
mixed feelings
emotions
getting sick from the notion
But you’re fading
you’re blaming
I can’t succeed in a thing
Smash me in
to pieces
then sweep them up start over
now

Walking Asleep

And I am so tired of walking asleep
And I am so bored as we're lead on like sheep
I need a voice to choose my decisions
And I hope this time that my own fears go missing
Put on a face
Cover anxiety
Your friends all cause the stress
But your worrying's free
The day just seems so long
The night is a blink
So take me away
Before I start to sink
A boring repetitive marathon run
'Cos no one who's dying has wished for less fun
When I look at myself I'm bad at predicting
People say it's true but I just can't listen
Put on a face
Cover anxiety
Your friends all cause the stress
But your worrying's free
The day just seems so long
The night is a blink
So take me away
Before I start to sink
Sometimes
I waste your time
At least that's how
It seems
In my mind

Coming My Way

I was walking down the street one day
When I saw you coming my way
Life’s a bitch
Contemplate
Life’s a bitch
It’s too late
And you’ve played with my emotions far too long
But I’ll have to cut you off now
Cause it turns out that was wrong
You build me up to smash down that’s why I’ll never trust a
person who treats others like a fucking game of Jenga
Coming my way
Coming my way
Don’t come my way
Coming my way
I was walking down the stairs one day
When I tripped and fell landing on my face
Life’s a bitch
Contemplate
Life’s a bitch
It’s too late
These depressing movies will kill me in the end
Force feed the force that’s forcing me to not want to depend
I want to smash a T.V in my yard
The pieces made up something once but now they can’t go far
Coming my way
Coming my way
Don’t come my way
Coming my way
And you said don’t sweat all the small stuff it’s okay
Just push it to the back and let it slip away
But that’s not who I am I will never be
I’ll never change
Coming my way
Coming my way
Don’t come my way
