Buildups, Breakdowns

I thought you were gone
But you're not
Rearing your ugly face
Locking me in my place
This skin feels way too thin
Tear it off and start again
I did my time
6 months of digging
Happiness is rare
Happiness is not there
You're screaming at me to lie
Why oh why oh why
And these build ups and breakdowns
Are breaking down me
This hole in my wall
Is not what I need
I promise It's not that bad
I promise I'm not that sad
I promise It's not that bad
I promise I'm not that sad, anymore
But When life lifts you up to break you down
You have to swim harder or else you'll drown

Not All Dogs Hate Cats

I'm feeling like a stranger
Alone in these expansive halls
Walk all around them
But tend to hug the walls
What does it matter
To you that I
Don't follow patterns
Don't socialize
I'm shunned for saying no
Not everyone's the same you know
Seen too much and too young
Methamphetamine and heroin
Not all dogs hate cats
They're both household pets
They live with each other
At the base of our beds
No I don't care
What you do
Now who's the fool?
Now who's the fool?

Sleepless, Sheepless

I'm waking up minutes before the sunset
Stagger from my bed only to be upset
Living nocturnally only half of the time
makes you lose sense of reality, I'm not fine
My clock Is screaming at me saying I should get a life
My bed is begging for me to sleep during the night
The moon is glaring at me while I flip it the bird
Passer-byers looking confused more than ever
I'm staying awake
Merely for you
Get out of my face
You don't have a clue
Falling asleep in time just before the sunrise
I'm wasting all the day away on the inside
Crawl into bed after watching the same old videos
Just like my life I'm on repeat I'll never break through
The same routine daily nightly whatever you call it
Now the clock is laughing at my stupid bullshit
Tick tocking away like some fucking time bomb
Or rather like the metronome to this bad song
I can’t Sleep

Androgynous
01:09

While those of you
Fight with animosity
You'll never
Find yourself
Lost at sea
Enveloped in
All this lust
You can't see
Androgynous
Is what is me
Yes I'm a man
And yes I'm certain of that
But why and when can
I feel like that
Maybe it's because
I let my heart beat fast
It's just who I was
An androgynous bastard

Half Missing, Fully Gone
04:01

We run through our lives
Wanting to be grown
Time flies by in our eyes
Mostly in our homes
Seeing my youth fade fast
Like a burned out light
No bulb is meant to last
But it should last the night
Last night I looked into my past
The see where I came from
The early parts were masked
But I had to see them
When half of your being
Raises you alone from the rest
You get the bad feeling
That you'll never be the best
Person you can be
When you’re only half to see
The other half was lost
When you were born
To find it once again
You'll have to find yourself my friend
Because half of you will want to mourn
Half of you will want to mourn
Some people get told their half shit
And I'm lucky that I didn't
Just know that you're worth it
Just know that you're worth it

A metaphorical cigarette dresses my lips
But I can’t seem to drag
Myself out of bed again
I’m such a drag
These streets are cold
Like the life he stole
You were a sight to behold
I know you were old
But truth be told
I’d give anything to hold
You once more
While I buried myself in books
They buried you in dirt
I didn’t get to say goodbye
To say I love you one more time
These streets are cold
Like the life he stole
You were a sight to behold
I know you were old
But truth be told
I’d give anything to hold
You once more
Again again I swear
