Buying Some Goodwill

Everything, everybody has something
to say to me
to distract from their moral ambivalence
aren’t you tired of your fucking shit?
It’s so profound
how you pronounced everybody else’s thoughts
or were you too drunk you forgot?
Why do you have to be so cynical (it’s the part of me that keeps me holy)

Growing Pains
01:55

When I was younger, I thought I would be great
If I tried my best and worked real hard I must be something eventually, eventually
You can reach your goals, they said, you just have to work real hard for it
Well i’m here now and it’s kind of underwhelmning
Does life get more exciting than this?
(you need better friends man)
I started to learn the nuances of reality
The more i learned the more it seemed less appealing
These first world problems are getting to my head
this is life i guess
this is life i guess
I’m just trying to find a song that’s nice to cry to
to make me feel better about myself
and that the world is great and i’m important
or something wholesome like that
I’m just trying to find a song that’s nice to cry to
to make me feel better about myself
and that the problems that i’m feeling are as equally as valid as the problems that you’re feeling too

Nervous Laughter

I don’t know why, everything
breaks the moment we try to fix it
Maybe i found some clarity
in broken bottled water,
stream of consciousness
Clean, i’m keeping it clean
Oh it’s closing in again, oh no i’ve lost my friends
spiralling in circles, making attempts to be a better man
Oh it’s happening again, i don’t know how this ends
spiralling in circles, finding the words to tell you how much it meant
I know i’ve lost a friend, i know i’m not in important, but i’m trying hard to be, i’m trying hard to be me
I know i’m not your friend, but do you think about me often?
If it’s meant to be, if it’s meant to be me

To Be Clean
02:26
|

I picture you staring at me, oh how it feels so good to be clean
I miss my anxiety about what to do next, when we did dangerous things like lying in bed
Oh how it feels so good to be clean
Oh how it feels so good to be clean
I promised you a mountain, but i dug up a hole
I promised you’d be safe and a home
I promised myself i’d stay awake, no more wasted moments spent dreams in my head
Oh how it feels so good to be clean
Oh how it feels so good to be clean

Next Year
02:41

Look at yourself in the mirror
Is this the person that you thought you would be?
Your age doesn't justify all the wrinkles in your skin
or the fact that you hair’s getting patchy and thin
You whisper to yourself, you’ll be fine you’ll be fine
You whisper to yourself, you’ll be fine, you’ll be fine
I’ll be fine
Each year is going faster and faster but I
Keep telling myself i can’t wait for next year
Each day is going faster and faster but I
Keep telling myself i can’t wait for next year

Well I guess
I still have my consciousness
left inside my head, it keeps me awake
All these songs that make me cry
I still try to sing them alone at night
But I hate who i’ve become
All these knots have come undone
Well I found my home
Deep inside your soul
It was the blackest form
At least it keeps me warm
All these songs that i still write, I still try to give them some sort of life
But I hate who i’ve become
All these knots have come undone
I’m so bored inside my head (I’m sleeping, i’m sleeping)
I’m sleeping, in my head i’m never going home
At least that’s what i’m told
You called it, i’ve got a fear that’s overwhelming
You called it, i’ve got a fear that’s overwhelming and i want you to know

Something About Trains
02:37

I see my friends are starting to forget me
I know somewhere else I’d rather be
A place where I feel alright
I’ve spent too much time
Thinking about how it was or how I could have dealt with it better
But I’ve come to realize that I’m so much happier
And that’s for me to decide
Goodbye to my old endeavours
Texting me and texting you wishing that you would text me back
I know I could have been better
I’m sorry, for the last time I apologise
This is the final call
No more backsies or saying how I ruined it all

I’ll guess i’ll talk to you, if you finally find the right words to say
It’s not over, till your eyes roll and your attention starts to sway
It’s getting colder, each December we spent stuck in our heads
You tell your brother, you don’t have any issues but you still sound the same
You know it better than, what Brandon said about losing all your friends again
Jake was right, why don’t you come back over here and pick on someone your own size
You’re like a rock, always so stoic
I’m like your emotional piece of shit, that’s always about to lose something irrelevant
But it’s what i’m used to
and it’s always changing your mind about
all your relationships and such
I guess we’ll still be friends after all of this ends
I guess i’ll talk to you, when you finally find the right words to say
It’s getting harder and harder not to want to punch your stupid face
and all that time that you spent wondering how this will end
I guess
