I'm nineteen and I can't sleep at night
Don't you think there's something wrong with that?
Maybe not, maybe this is how it's supposed to be
Up all day and night wondering how to be free
4 am is my new friend cause it don't lie when I ask
"Am I cheating myself or am I really lost again?"
Am I really lost again?
And my bedsheets are soaked again
Why am I afraid to be happy?
How could my life be better on a dashboard screen?
Why am I afraid to say hello to a face I don't know?
My family says I should pray
My friends say to drain a bottle clean
But they don't know that God is dead
And whiskey sure ain't free
And you ain't ever coming back to me
Why am I afraid to be happy?
How could my life be better on a dashboard screen?
Why am I afraid to say hello to a face I don't know?

Who were you when we first met?
Who were you when you said "let's get a bed"?
Who were you when you said "let's drink our lives away"?
Who were you when you said goodbye?
Who was I when I said "come on in"?
Who was I when your name became my voice?
Who was I when my skin touched yours?
Who was I when I smoked my heart out for you?
And you said that you'd always be
And you said that you'd stay with me
But where are you now?
Who are you to say that I should find myself?
When you can't even stand on your own
How'd it feel to take a part of me and run?
Who am I now that you're gone?
Who am I without your harmony to my songs?
Who am I, driving with two hands again?
Who am I? Who am I?
And you said that you'd always be
And you said that you'd stay with me
But where are you now?
Who are you to say that I should find myself?
When you can't even stand on your own
How'd it feel to take a part of me and run?

Elegy (For Rebecca)
04:08

She left without saying goodbye
She left without a smile
I never knew I could hurt for a stranger
But I guess I was wrong
For three days I couldn't feel a thing
I drove around hoping I would crash
So I could see you for the first time
Nice to meet you nice to know you
It still hits me in the middle of the day
when I'm sleepwalking
that you're never coming back
You're dead but still living and
I'm alive but feel dead
What's the point of building walls
When you can still hear the screaming on the other side?
What's the point of hiding scars if they never go away?
Why?
It still hits me in the middle of the day
when I'm sleepwalking
that you're never coming back
You're dead but still living and
I'm alive but feel dead

Emily's Song
04:48
|

Emily's her name, she keeps her windows open wide
So anyone can stick their hands in there
I ask her why, she says she likes the company
of boys and birds and wild hair
She stares at her feet and cries through her mouth
She's looking for something
that'll make her feel like she's not dead
But there she goes, drinking again
Never learning how to be with herself
And she walks through me
She walks through me
Looking for a wall, for a wall
To stop her
We're out late in her car
She runs three red lights
But then she says she's just colorblind
The windows are down, cold breathes in her lungs
She's silent as hell as "Isis" plays on the radio
And she walks through me
She walks through me
Looking for a wall, for a wall
To stop her

Sick

White walls, walls are everywhere I turn
You said you would write me and send a picture too
Look here comes my food
There's semen on my stomach and my toes
And I thought about you
There's blood on the floor
And I thought about you
Jesus said he could not save me
Well at least he tried
Where the hell have you been all this time?
You said you wanted me to yourself
You said you wanted me to yourself
Well here I am

Little Death
04:16
|

Bed is made, sheets are clean
You looked at me and whispered
"Won't you please kill me?"
And I said "yes, I'll make you feel dead"
My hands feel your skin
You're warm and I'm cold
You said "touch my soul but
don't touch my chest"
And I said "yes, I'll touch your soul
without feeling your breast"
When it was done
You cried in my arms
And I held you til I couldn't no more
And I said "yes, I'll hold you til I can't no more"

Skin
04:20
|

How many times do I have to feel like this?
Feeling that you're pushing me away
Hearing you say I'm not an honest man
Well how's this for honesty?
You tell me to stay and then
you turn your back on me
You kiss me then tell me it's a sin
Well I've given you all I've got
But it's not enough
to show you I'm not after your skin
I hope you don't think I'm a liar
When I say "I love you"
I hope you don't think I'm a lair
When I say "I love you"

You are all I know
You are all I know
I haven't seen you
in six months and three days
I think I love you
I think I love you
But how can I know
when you are all I know?
I think I love you
I think I love you
But how can I know
when you are all I know?
