company 02:32
i cook myself steak and eggs around 2 pm then it's coffee or the golden stuff but once i start it's hard for me to get enough i'm trying to cut back on things that make me bad but that's easier said than done i check the mail twice a day sometimes it's early and sometimes it's late i tidy up when my room's kept clean i feel that that reflects well on me and i'm not as mad no i'm not as mad i'm not as mad anymore i miss you too come visit me we will keep each other company

nothing ends 02:28
you say you never wanna go home that you're scared to spend the night alone i woke up and felt your body next to mine i woke up and saw you but i dreamt you died don't you wanna know what it's like don't you wanna know what it's like and i don't know what anyone is saying i'm heading back into the basement i thought my life would be so much different now it's hard for me to explain exactly how don't you wanna know what it's like don't you wanna know what it's like you come at me from the inside don't you wanna know what it's like sometimes i just lie and pretend you and me were just two friends fucking around on the weekends if nothing starts then nothing can end and i don't know what you ever saw in me i'm a drunk baby who is pretty and i don't know what you ever saw in me i'm a dog that doesn't know he's ugly

i don't know why i have to compete with you it's something i said once that i hope won't come true and people keep saying everything they're into well i got a secret that you can hold onto and i don't know what to do when i'm alone with you words you keep saying when did they come to you? you're quietly violent when you're with someone new and if you believe it will you tell everyone? who likes the nighttime if no one is here for fun? and i don't know what to do when i'm alone with you i never thought you would ever leave did you feel free when you forgot me? and i would've waited my whole life and i would've waited my whole life and i would've waited my whole life and i would've too

small talk 03:37
don't ask me what's on my mind don't say you'll do your best and try to stop by you hover just above don't you know there are things that i'm ashamed of? i close my eyes forget to try try to forget and take another hit i saw your face in a magazine i was in a car, looking at my phone screen yeah you're such a hit everything good you touch turns into the opposite where are you now? your voice so far away and the things you wanna do are just words you say when it's late at night and i can barely think that's when i need you most to talk down to me i go out and i take a walk i see my neighbor and ask about his tuesday because i like small talk keep the big stuff, the scary stuff, all locked up look at us now momma would be proud i get so loud when i'm quiet as a mouse and i get dumber all the time and it's a bummer but soon it'll be next summer people like words that rhyme and at the end of your life you'll probably want more time or maybe not maybe all you keep inside just gets exhaled with a sigh and then you die

the wall 05:12
wait, i'm looking at the wall calendar that forgot fall warmth is staring at the snow as flowers start to grow and i remember you are you coming back for may? even if it's for one day are you out there on your own? baby come back home and i remember you and i do too and i stood by the door and i stared through the floor and i thought i'd be more than i am and i came back into my old basement room and i looked in the eyes of a dog can i call you again will you still be my friend even though so much has changed? can i call you again will you still be my friend even though i'm not the same? can i call you again can i call you again will i see you at the end? cause i remember you i do too

come back home early afternoon the sun's still here so what's a girl to do when she's left on her own in her room late at night for good? fantasy makes the world come true one where i can love and you can love me too it makes me so happy to see you so happy i know that i'd have to go back in time i know you could never again be mine i know that i'd have to go back in time i know you could never again be mine can never sleep when it's so hot inside had that dream again where we both take the ride that i know in my heart can only end in pain i miss the dog that i had as a kid and i miss the life that i thought i would live i thought i would be someone you would care about i wish i could just go on and pick a side no i won't let anyone else decide
