Last night I wanted to see you so badly and today I saw you leaving your house I said nothing Because I just had nothing to say (well I had nothing to say) now it's tuesday I'm so solitary my friends left for summer it's making me wary I'll just get drunk and I'll tell what I'm feeling Now! I'll prove I can do this it only sucks because everyone is moving away from me I'm in a weird place and time it makes me want to die Friends! I miss you so dearly I love all you badly it's making me weary one night of drinking is never enough for me (It's never enough for me) I wont give up I wont go home I'll make this place My own and happiness I'll make my own I know that I am not alone

this is the hardest thing that I do in a day this ship is sinking it's broken it's never getting fixed this machine runs on hope so unreliable

we rode on through Pittsburgh and back in search of something that we had lost and came back with fears that we had this time in april and I know that I hurt you then I know that I hurt you But I wont ever do that again I swear I will never do that again

dont shy down dont step away I will not be afraid to want more to be shy of ambition ideas suggestions I remember a time when my friend were everything were everywhere beautiful, innumerable an empire surmountable a household so beautiful
5.
I tell myself Im not depressed fairly often for a guy whos really not depressed it's all ive got its all I can do the save myself so i'll go I spent the whole summer destroying myself in north oakland come back now major bummer hanging around without you I spent the whole day making the time pass I stayed up all night I didnt sleep at all I rode my bike to south side to see her I hate the south side so I must have loved her I drove through pittsburgh in 2013 I was enticed by the music and arts scene I spent a year unsettled at college all of my friends afraid to go outside then I met you in the strangest way possible you knew everyone I ever want to know personalities oh so beautiful I learned that I was not so unlike you folks now I spend my time hanging at your house I want so badly to know what youre about come on lets got find something to go do id love to, id love to, I want to be with you

oh dont act this way dont put me down then hide away I wont be here when you leave oh dont go away I still have things of yours and I dont want to leave without returning them oh what did you say? Your words will not reach my ears now I wont be here when you wake calm down calm down bring yourself to water and sleep and I wont leave without taking from you now I know how it feels to have nothing when so close to something you love (closer than family how could you do this me) now I know I'm morally bankrupt I'll go back on things that I've said (Now I have gone; i've become disappeared) you should know I would look up to you more than you ever would know (time spent to together was never in vein) you should know I'm sorry, Im sorry I love you so dearly but youre so hard to be around
7.
I recall yesterday in all I am sure I saw you I forget everything we said I just know how you made me feel last week I was drunk and sad but today I am glad to be alive I find beauty in everything even when I am on my own I'm afraid of our fleeting days can you stay... forever? In my dreams I am losing teeth breaking up and failing out of school I think I'd be fine on my own but I know that it's just not true I'm a needle stuck inside a locked groove I dont know what to do (so I'll go) so I wont so I wont I won't won't go
