Listen, It's my fault we're fighting Blame was implied by my admissions Fleeting but sincere visions through the gaslight We'll row for nights, you won't return Burn all our pictures if I can't fix this Love's Action (That's no fact so take it back) Today's tough act's so strange Touch halts, reaction fades Assault? Delight? Just say! Books bettered bursts, Inert faults faltered Blamed names blossomed Mine wilts, awfully Love's Action (That's no fact so take it back) Tough acts play cruel games Touch halts, reaction fades Both of us own this shame Me, Reciting trauma: Assault, old fights, New drama You, Won't move to tell I'll choose new wounds to show hell

Play sad songs Young to sound so strong (Found out something's wrong with me) Some doubt shouts judgement (Judge I cannot live without) Tells you what you're meant for Ignore imperfection You're more than gifts you sent I'm sure what you meant You're born for music Stupid kid [From Gurren Lagann] (Kamina) Don't believe in yourself, (Simon) Huh? (Kamina) Believe in the kamina who believes in you! I'm prophetic (Fine, tell my future then) Pathetic too (Check again you're cruel) Produce truth from YouTube Proved what's meant for you Mock heads Talking to kids parents ignore I won't ignore you F*ck, found why you're bored I'm your forced mentor Prophesized so falsely Parentifying cries Find what you're meant for Sorry I implied

No way I'm advising Try calm minds Mine traumatizes to unwind [From Whiplash] (Andrew) Well I don't think that we should be together and I've thought about it a lot and this is what's gonna happen. I'm going to keep pursuing what I'm pursuing and because I'm doing that it's going to take up more and more of my time and I'm not going to spend as much time with you and even when I do spend time with you I'm going to be thinking about drumming. You're crazy (Then see me I'm in need) I'm immature (Of course a new excuse to leave) Conjure sense Google cheap psychologists Toxic podcasts (F*ck Jordan Peterson) Host boasts: both problems suck Nights past at campfires Spiked fights advise lost trust I'll thrust, It won't fix us [From Whiplash] (Andrew) You're going to tell me to ease up on the drumming and spend more time with you because you're not feeling important and I'm not going to be able to do that and really I'm just going to start to resent for even asking me to stop drumming and we're just going to start to hate each other Felt often Home serum softens Coffin outs Doubt options found float our Drowning No way we'll claim peace We're seperating

Last night's okay with me (We were lying in my bed Algernon on the TV) Gently, fear's resurrecting (Please calm down peace waits where you left me) [From Detroit Rock City] (Jam) Can I have my drumsticks back? (Jam's Mom) Your drumsticks are the least of your worries young man. You ran out on God! My son just ran out on God! I f*cked it up (Trust the pills put in your gut) Eyes stay shut Keep making out Fake feelings, Can't stop now Yes is easy Restraint breaks hearts I'll be useful Need nothing [From Detroit Rock City] (Jam) Pray to some stupid little statue for me and all is forgiven and forgotten right mom? Then you can spend your days in a guilt free pursuit of more constructive activities like telling everybody else how screwed up their lives are. Precious patterns Distracting blanket Mind scattered but I'm erect I'm waking up (Trust the pills put in your gut) Last night was rough Lust forced me down (Must you always bring it up?) Dropped feelings, Got guts [From Detroit Rock City] (Jam) And that way you don't even need to think how tough it was for you when you were growing up and it's probably a good thing too cause if you did you'd realize what a lousy, god damn, sh*tty *ss parent you are

[From Yugioh] (Yami) It was your courage and the love your friends had for you that prevailed this day (Yugi) And your determination! Thank you for filling my home, hosts won't drink alone Thank you for shooting all month shots of me clearly too drunk Your laughter numbs (Some have darker humor than you) Hangover stirs regret (Bet it will turn deadly) Wonder who's seen those videos Will one play at my funeral? It's normalized (Find me when it's time to lie) Julius [Pizza] is full tonight (Foolishly we'll fight again) Disguised delight Price is lifetime Bars, Like hard spin class: Tight clothes, Going nowhere Pores, Beg for water Men Steal more stares (Yugi) We all did it, together (Yami) That's right, as friends (Yugi) And in the end that's what it came down to: friends being there for one another. Thanks for nicely leaving time I cried, drying Still try to flee my life At least I'm self-reliant Pissed, it's okay Kiss her, Stay hurt Fix her, Miss me, My therapist charges Per problem

Everyone knows better than me Dreaming through routine Fake perfect grace, Forget my face Everyone looks better than me Scrapbook palm, dehydration I'm dead weight (Don't waste time) WAIT (Are you faking it?) I feel faint Saints live like this (Renovate, take down a shake and then...) When will you leave? [From Tales of Symphonia] (Mithos) Farewell my shadow: you who stand at the end of the path I chose not to follow. I wanted my own world so I don't regret my choice. I would make the same choice all over again. My faults are common I thank mom and dad (dear mom) Thank you! Routine's gold, Leave us alone then Everyone stay away from me

Bed's in chaos May love it (Head's full of lead, we can polish the oven) Made sheets missed muster, Hide in the covers (Save the time spend to suffer, sleep, or) WAIT! They come over (Say that they'll become the one) Validate and sate dry shoulders Cold from the abyss (This is sure to hold bliss) Old, jealous, goodbye kiss [From Superbad] (Jonah Hill as Seth) You bailed on me (Michael Cera as Evan) I didn't bail on you (Seth) Yeah, you just bailed on me Don't work tonight, What you win It's perfect skin slipped over bone Vibrating phone Don't hurt tonight, Skirt anger, regret Alert to only loneliness Love yous to who shares this room [From Superbad] (Seth) That's the definition of bailing (Evan) You're the one that dragged me to that party with those lunatics, man. I didn't bail on you. (Seth) You BAILED ON ME! Stop fighting, People don't change Soft paths make light days Protect pain Don't work tonight You might show Clothes pulled tight for counting bones Deflate what hates starvation Bed's chaotic I love it Bought a day to hide in the covers Don't blame you [From Superbad] (Seth) Is this about Becca? This is about some girl man!? (Evan) I like her! (Seth) She's a girl! What? Are you going to go out with her for two years? What about after that? (Evan) Not everything is about you! (Seth) Fine. I won't be your responsibility anymore okay? You don't have to talk to me but next time something's pissing you off how about you say it like a man instead of bottling it up for 10 years and wait till you have a bad day to let it all out? (Evan) Don't touch me. (Seth) C'mon man!
