Cry Wolf

I'm terrified of what might lie in front of me
But if I turn and run I won't know what's meant for me
I tie my shoes tight you know I might hide
I tie my shoes tight can you tell I want to
hide my face when you look me in the eyes?
I draw pictures in the dust like I'm a kid again
I remembered her she looked the same when I was ten
It sticks to me like the smell of stale cigarettes
You always say that I cry wolf
But how the fuck could I forget?
I know that I'm not broken but I've been buried
I'm sick of being strong when no one can see
I know it won't be long, but time feels heavy
When you're waiting for the sun and you can't sleep
I know that I'm not broken but I've been buried
I'm sick of being strong when no one can see
I know it won't be long, but time feels heavy
When you're waiting for the sun and you can't sleep
When you're waiting for the sun and you can't sleep...

Miserable

Did you think I wouldn't notice?
You pretend like you're not scared at all
Try not to look into the mirror
'Cus it's easier to make it someone else's fault
make it someone else's fault
make it someone else's fault
I look back now and it's clearer
Than it was with you standing in front of me
And when I look into the mirror
I know I'm more than you ever thought I would be
I know you hope I'm miserable
When I move on you're invisible
I know you hope I'm miserable
I know you hope I'm miserable
Do you pace around in your apartment
Or ask yourself "How did I end up alone?"
Act like somehow you're a victim,
Feeling empty is all you'll ever know
I know you hope I'm miserable
When I move on you're invisible
I know you hope I'm miserable
I know you hope I'm miserable
When I move on you're invisible
I know you hope I'm miserable

There was so much left to say
Force-fed words and a bitter taste
It got stuck under my tongue
And the thought still makes me numb
And It’s filling up my mouth
Oh it’s filling up my mouth
It all feels heavy now
You’re caught around my teeth
Grin and bear it, go to sleep.
Scraped all the skin off of my knees
To save face and keep the peace
Inside this body
Inside this body
I’d spit it out if I could,
“Oh you’re not just misunderstood,”
Did you expect my golden silence?
Hungry hands in your defiance
And I’m so weighed down with doubt
And I’m so weighed down with doubt
And It all feels heavy now
Oh it all feels heavy now
You’re caught around my teeth
Grin and bear it go to sleep
Scraped all the skin off of my knees
To save face and keep the peace
Inside this body
Inside this body
Inside this body...
I’d spit it out if I could
Oh you’re not just misunderstood...

Years and years ago
We packed it all away
Taped it up in cardboard boxes
Like storing old sweaters
Always folded together
Always folded together (folded together)
And I'm sure we're both alright
And I'm sure we're Both alright
What a waste of space
We're burdened by nothing
And everything they left behind
Every polaroid and TV floor set
Makes me feel sick
I see their outline
I see their outline
Smothered in daylight
I see their outline (see your outline)
I stacked each of them so high
From the basement to the attic
This isn't right
They're bending the floorboards
I'm scared at night
My pictures, fading like static
My pictures, fading like static
Fading like static (fading like static)
Fading like static (fading like static)
They lock the door and pretend it never happened
They lock the door and pretend it never happened
What a waste of space
We're burdened by nothing
And everything they left behind
Every polaroid and TV floor set
Makes me feel sick, I see their outline
I see their outline covered in dust,
I see your outline
(just like the first time)
I see your outline
(just like the first time)
I see your outline

I get up at six AM anyway
Just to spite you in tiny ways
That I keep to myself and I wonder if it helps
When my chest just aches and swells
At every fucking breath, I am taking
Will I get a moment's rest?
Body shaking
If I roll out of my bed,
Climb downstairs to Take my meds
Will I see my life in grey and red?
I remember yellow light in the hallway of the kitchen
It was spilling in
Spilling in
Spilling in
Could anyone hear me calling out?
All your words filling up my mouth
On my back on the edge of your couch
Crying "I cannot erase him, I cannot erase him
Crying: "I cannot erase him, I cannot, I cannot"
Crying "I cannot erase him, I cannot erase him"
I’ve been counting down the days
Since I last saw you in my doorframe
Your touch made me sick again
And you couldn’t even say my name
Somehow I went and took the blame
If I roll out of my bed,
climb downstairs to take my meds
Will I see my life in grey and red?
I remember yellow light in the hallway of the kitchen
It was spilling in
Spilling in
Spilling in
Could anyone hear me calling out?
All your words filling up my mouth
On my back on the edge of your couch
Crying "I cannot erase him, I cannot erase him
Crying: "I cannot erase him, I cannot, I cannot"
Crying "I cannot erase him, I cannot erase him"
Crying "I cannot erase him, I cannot erase him"
Could anyone hear me calling out?
All your words filling up my mouth
On my back, on the edge of your couch
Crying:
I can not erase him, I can not erase the light spilling in
I can not erase him, I can not erase the light spilling in

Swing Set

If I drove around the lake tonight
Stood face to face, open-eyed
Carrying the weight
Of all your guilt and all your shame
At night my body shakes
And I wake to another day
Another day...
Swing sets
They still make me sick
That hasn't really changed at all
That hasn't really changed at all
And that front step it's all stained in your regrets
I know you haven't changed at all
I know you haven't changed at all
If I sat outside my childhood home
Would I feel anything? Would I see your ghost?
When walls were nicotine-stained
And scraped knees hurt the most
Her figure standing at the window...
Does it hurt to be alone?
Does it hurt to be alone?
Swing sets,
They still make me sick
That hasn't really changed at all
That hasn't really changed at all
Hasn't really changed at all
Have you even changed at all?
I know you haven't really changed
Changed at all
And at sunset do you ever
Try and call me back?
Have you even changed at all?
Have you even changed at all?
