smeared ink 02:16
Smearing ink across your arms, raise your flag in surrender. Now it's bleeding through your sleeves. bleeding onto me. there's no escaping. i will wait up all night, hoping to god that you're all right.
2.
Well, I made a home. Painted bridge in water color. Acrylics wouldn't do what I what I needed them to do so I left them alone, like I left you. Chain smoking in the back of your car. I want my best friend back. Detroit has taken that. Chain smoking in the back of your car. I want my best friend back, Detroit has taken that. I tore down every brick. Goodbyes painted on my lips. This airplane's uncomfortable. Your bed was always uncomfortable.

sleep 01:39
I spend hours in my basement with stomachaches and "my head hurts". I don't know what I'm doing here, either. All I know is that it's worth it. But when I wake up I won't be lying next to you.
4.
told the darkest lies to the brightest eyes. feeling no regret, we lost our innocence underneath these sheets. a hotel room you bought for cheap. i was just sixteen then, how could you do this? well, i don't know. i don't know. but i don't blame you for anything that happened. and i won't lie, i still miss it. i miss you. i miss you. and i hope that you're okay, i think about you everyday. I think about you every day.

number seven 01:41
cold coffee, every morning. i'm tired of the shit i've been saying to make myself seem better. to ignore the shitty weather. i'm burying myself in blankets and covering up my lack of patience. I just need silence. I'll take back every word that I said.
6.
I wake up to find my body is all that's left of me since we changed last fall. And on my bedpost, I count a third notch and hang my head in shame. The bookshelf beside my bed holds a brand new volume. I'm just sad because I still miss you. I'm just bummed out. I need silence. I get panic attacks from movies. And every color just lacks to move me.
7.
Spend nights down by the lakeside. Cigarettes and chocolate milk. I can't seem to let go. Make friends with everyone I see, soon they'll be enemies. You can't stand me for more than a week. But you just go on about how badly you think you miss me. and I'll just go on about how badly I know I miss you. You are my reassurance that I'm still real. You are my, you are my, you are my reassurance. You are mine. You are mine. You are mine. You are mine.

bad tv shows 02:05
I held your hand in the back of the water works show while the boys making noise made a joyful sound, PRAISE GOD they're singing but no not what they're meanin and i'm about to tell them, oh, i swear to god i'll tell them. "shut the fuck up and go back home where you belong, 'cause at least you still have that, unlike me, yeah at least you still have that boys." 'cause when i wake up i'm alone, stuck watching bad tv shows. and i lack a hand to hold. it's probably 'cause i'm getting old. and i will be here forever. in this never ending shitty weather. and i will be here forever. ('cause when i wake up i'm alone, stuck watching bad tv shows. and when i wake up i'm alone. stuck watching bad tv shows.)
9.
These winter months, they expose our breathing. In the summer, I know you won't need me. But I'll stay up all night for some word. Some small chance that you and I are okay. But I know it's not true. this is not the end yet, i am not backing down. i have lost all my best friends. but i will move to a new town. reconstruct, build a home there. make all new friends. in a few years i swear to god, this will all be meaningless.
