Sleep It Off
03:56

|
Most days I wake up angry
Don't know why
Swear I don't want to be
Oh, but I'm controlled by it
Breathe in, breathe out
Swear I'm so sick of it
Everything's been given to me
Yet I find ways to be unhappy
So I'll sing about my sadness in a major key
I'll sing about the grief that shouldn't belong to me
And when I'm done being angry
I just feel sapped of all my energy
Lethargic, depressed, I get into my bed
Sleep off the thoughts in my head
Yeah, everything's been given to me
Yet I find ways to be unhappy
So I'll sing about my sadness in a major key
I'll sing about the grief that shouldn't belong to me
Underneath undue grief
No relief, so I'll sleep
Everything's been given to me
Yet I find ways to be unhappy
So I'll sing about my sadness in a major key
I'll sing about the grief that shouldn't belong to me
Yeah, everything's been given to me
Yet I find ways to be unhappy
So I'll sing about my sadness in a major key
I'll sing about the grief that shouldn't belong to me

Waking Up
02:42
|
|||
|
Waking up, can't breathe
Stayed up too late and smoked too many
Or is it just anxiety?
Contemplating what others think of me
Constantly comparing
Me to everyone else around
Around me
Lying down, what a joke
First thing I do is get up and smoke
Wondering where did my pride go?
Oh yeah, I lost that long ago.
Because I'm tired of forever feeling
Consumed by apathy
About almost everything
Except that which concerns me
Constantly comparing
Me to everyone else around
Around me
I never said I want to die
I just said I hate that I'm
Anxious about going to sleep
Waking up to more anxiety
I never said I want to die
I just said I hate that I
Feel like there's no place left to run
So I'll go dread sleep and waking up

Rue
04:01
|
|||
|
Sit and obsess over past events
Nothing I can do but rue
A life of regret
I'll be sorry until I'm dead
Forever haunted by
Thoughts that dwell inside
A loathsome, fucked up mind
Only worsening with time
Forever haunted by
Thoughts that dwell inside
A selfish, fucked up mind
A life of regret
I'll be sorry 'til I'm dead
A heart heavy as lead
Oh, I'll be sorry
I'll be sorry 'til I'm dead
A life of regret
I'll be sorry 'til I'm dead
A heart heavy as lead
Oh, I'll be sorry
I'll be sorry 'til I'm dead

Petulant
02:43
|
|||
|
Discontentment and resentment
Have taken permanent residence
In my psyche
While I've been trying
To rid myself of them
But somehow they always win, yeah
All my angst preceded my
Teenage years and chose to stay here
Outlasting my adolescence
Breeding cynical disappointment, yeah
All my angst preceded my
Teenage years and chose to stay here
Outlasting my adolescence
Breeding cynical disappointment, yeah
Everlasting, never abating

Nostalgia Eternal
03:47
|
|||
|
I fucking hate that I get older
And I fucking hate that I get older
Where did the time go
From being a kid
Oh, to 22?
All of this remembering
It's keeping me up
Longing for youth
Forever gripped with nostalgia
I am looking back
And I'm stuck dwelling
On memories of my past
Eternally plagued
By a somber, wistful pang
I fucking hate that I get older
And I fucking hate that I get older
Where did the time go
From being a kid
Oh, to 22?
All of this remembering
It's keeping me up
Longing for youth
Where did the time go
From being a kid
Oh, to 22?
All of this remembering
It's keeping me up
Longing for youth
For youth, oh

Heretical Son
03:28
|
|||
|
And I'll preface this by saying
That I miss feeling like
I was stitched from the same cloth
But I'm afraid I'm not
A filial pariah
I've convinced myself that I am
If you really were to know
Dad, I'm scared you'd hate me
And if I weren't your son
I don't think you'd want to know me
I'm the epitome of heresy
I think you'd hate me
Your flesh and blood
Heretical son
Your flesh and blood
Heretical son
A filial pariah
I've convinced myself that I am
If you really were to know
Dad, I'm scared you'd hate me
And if I weren't your son
I don't think you'd want to know me
I'm the epitome of heresy
I think you'd hate me

Habitual
02:47
|
|||
|
Pretend to quit
Can't give up this shit
The fire's been lit
And I'm just fueling it
Plug yourself in
Neuro-transmit
Serotonin
Ingrain a habit
Yeah, plug yourself in
And neuro-transmit
Serotonin
Feel guilty about it
My habits are learned
Permanence they've earned
Stubborn I'll remain 'til I'm under the earth
Stubborn I'll remain 'til I'm under the earth

And I've always had my doubts
But never until now
Have those thoughts pervaded
Leading me to say
Is this apostasy?
I guess it is
If you were looking
You would have found me
Believing is not something
This machine is doing
It's only questioning
Skeptical of everything
Praying and searching
Never receiving
An answer when I ask
If you're really there
Is this apostasy?
I guess it is
If you were looking
You would have found me
Oh, how absurd to think
That there are any strings
Being pulled for me
Just because I asked “God, please...”

On Existence Pt. II: Low
03:16
|
|||
|
Look at me crying
As if this strife is unique to me
But I guess I asked for this
By demanding some evidence
Oh, yeah I'm feeling low
Because all my doubt is here to stay
Questions answered? Not today
Oh, yeah years ago
I was forced down the road to loss of faith
And grew real bitter on the way
Oh, yeah I'm feeling low
Could all my sins be washed away?
Forgiven? Not today
Oh yeah, years ago
I watched my belief fly out the window
Low
Lachrymose but trying to turn this shit around
Low
Mop up all the tears that have fallen to the ground
Low

My lyrics are too personal
My melodies, predictable
I'm not good enough at this
To justify doing it forever
Because I still live at home
While all my peers are on their own
Making names for themselves
Growing up, getting it together
I'm sorry, Mom and Dad
I know you had hopes and plans for me
I know I threw them all away
I know I brought you so much shame
