decks:
something was stolen
something i borrowed
must’ve been open
must’ve been hollow
& open progression
is nothing but awful
i trample my thoughts
till they’re tougher to swallow
its passion that kills you,
the nerve’s gonna drive you insane
i can’t stand to look back
when the only thing there is your name
i took this as a loss
when i should’ve been counting the days
its a wish on a star
you’re the one thing that’s keeping me sane
i’m losing this game
when you’re learning to lose
well, the world isn’t spinning the same
greenwood:
I put some distance out into the worlds
And I never trip about the way that it hurts
And I think they buried me deep in the dirt
But trust me, and trust me it still could get worse
Seventeen years in a hospital bed
And they treat me different I know what it is
And it'd take a year to explain what it did
When I got a phantom inside of my limbs
Closed down, held over
And I found the worst way to tell you
And I couldn't leave but I'd let you
And tell me you think I'll be dead soon
Held down, I'm closer
And I found the best way to end it
And I didn't sleep just pretended
And fucked up my life like your friends said
both:
its passion that kills you,
the nerve’s gonna drive you insane
(cant take back what i said,
im the one you can blame)
i can’t stand to look back
when the only thing there is your name
(not the man in your heart,
he had went with the pain)
i took this as a loss
when i should’ve been counting the days
(its a pattern i keep,
wish i’d throw it away)
its a wish on a star
you’re the one thing that’s keeping me sane
(i know its too late)
i’m losing this game
when you’re learning to lose
well, the world isn’t spinning the same

i couldn’t capitalize
on what i’d seen in ur eyes
i’d match ur porcelain smile
all while i’m dead inside
stop looking, nothing’s there
those nights are gone, i swear
i always needed more time
then wasted yours and mine
i’m always on the bright side
i’ll always tell you i’m fine
stop looking, nothing’s there
those nights are gone, i swear.
[oni boy]
everything’s is gone and now it’s missing
i swear at first you went and only got distant
those fake smiles hiding behind some dead eyes
the smell of rotting flesh and decaying insides
so where’s the insight
so where’s clairvoyance
soothsaying futures
prepared avoidance
where’s my allowance?
the things that i’m owed?
you took it all and left my heart broken and froze
so baby what can i get back?
the living undead crawled out of the ground for attack
i swear emotions resurrected, getting zombified
we stay evicted and vacated from those distant nights

it started then
n now we’re here again
dont want a friend
we cant be close again
lets not pretend
dont wanna go thru that again
with all the time passed,
nothin rly changes anymore
now i digress;
leaving what i’ve got before its more
i need to find that
i cant see the sunlight thru the storm
u know no matter the weather
im always back to that letter
i gotta find me
i don’t know the person i’ve become
i see the lightning
striking while ur finding other love
i haven’t felt like this in a long time
i don’t exist in ur life while u haunt mine
breathing is slow,
winter is cold
say idk i don’t like that
what do u know
making our bones
told u that i couldn’t fight back
& every time we drove past thru Verona
the cold summer snow was reflecting ur aura
she said to take it outta me
the words i never said
so i went thru our dichotomy
& struck a nerve again
maybe it was fuckin cowardly
to sit where u had spent
but the wage i work is hourly
& u live in my head
right, you live in my
head on backwards
the lanes mix up
& the game’s unmastered
hey the plans break up
but we can make up
all the facial expressions
were never enough
to show u
with all the time passed,
nothin rly changes anymore
now i digress;
leaving what i’ve got before its more
i need to find that
i cant see the sunlight thru the storm
u know no matter the weather
im always back to that letter
i gotta find me
i don’t know the person i’ve become
i see the lightning
striking while ur finding other love
i haven’t felt like this in a long time
i don’t exist in ur life while u haunt mine

its hard to focus on life as of late
i’m simple and losing my name
what good does it do to be brave
when i’m always right back to this place?
i wanted to think there was more to life
i hoard advice from all my peers
you know that it hurts when the words are right
i’m sure that i could dry your tears
i knew how it felt to be empty
but without you i’m barely alive
the rain on my window is melting my wishes
of things being different this time
i really hope you’ve got it figured out
i know it hurts to see me now
sunsets & unrest & moonlight
rewrite the past for the last time
i’m stuck again at a red light
eyes close tonight as you pass me by
i never thought i would feel like this
say the word and i’m yours again
i know i shouldn’t just give in
but in the end, you’re the one that i’ve always wanted
im sorry for being the worst
& kicking my thoughts to the curb
i know that the truth isnt easy but
i could get over myself & the hurt
i’m speaking my mind for the first time
i’m trying to put up a fight
you know how its been for me lately
i wish u were here tonight

sing me a song and tell me everything is normal
its been months since i had felt at all, im tryna keep it formal with the
things that i say to those who don’t quite get the most of me
its harder to find out when
they’re leaving
find me a stone & write my name in tiny letters
if u throw it far enough then you and i are stuck together for the
rest of our years or just as long as you put up with me
i know that it has to end
you’re leaving
so if i go
no complaints
we’ll take it slow
until we break
i shop the windows of this breezy inner city
hoping for some inspiration, maybe i’ll find something pretty in the
regurgitation of my life in front of you
i put myself for sale, just wondering
if you still want me too
i break the habits of my past, im nothin better than a
old pair of shoes that no one wears until they gotta
but its
nothing personal
something terminal
i saw the rain
reflecting off your windowsill
i took the pain i gathered
turned it into chlorophyll
who knows the way
we’ll fall back into open arms
i tried to find it comforting
here i am with battle scars
