You’re a straight line
On a highway
You’re a mascot of the human race
You were aching
And it's too much
So you call someone to see what's up
In a bathroom
On the fourth floor
You would find your message is still
Engraved in
The hot glass
It would read to you for the rest of time
And I cried the whole ride home
And thought about how everyone dies someday
A wonderful life made with love
Wonderful
Life
The light was off when I returned
Knew that lightbulb wouldn't last
Long past midnight, I
Made my way down to the park
To consult familiar friends
Who are not real
Maybe I’m just hard to like
Overthinking and I’m really scared
Of government
Maybe I'm that kinda guy
One who always over-analyses
Every fucking thing
Maybe humans hard to be
Always tired but I can not sleep
And I don't think I’ll survive
Maybe something’s in my blood
An infection by the hands of me
And I don't think I’ll survive
Maybe humans hard to be
Always tired but I can not sleep
And I don't think I’ll survive
Maybe something’s in my blood
An infection by the hands of me
And I don't think I’ll survive
The light was off when I returned
Knew that lightbulb wouldn't last
Long past midnight, I
Made my way down to the park
To consult familiar friends
Who are not real
I never thought that I would see myself low
Im lying on the pavement my soul is out of reach
I never thought I would speak to the devil
He told me what he wanted but never
What it meant

I started driving faster
Avoiding interest
The train’s getting farther away
Made a wrong turn back home
End up in a new place
And I feel like a waste of space
If all I know is what I’m told
I know I’m failing but it’s getting late
It’s getting really dark
And I'm cold
So far, haven't learned a thing to do with this
I try to fall asleep beneath a big oak
Tree in someone's yard but I haven’t had to
Fall asleep and call you in the morning
Five hours later and it’s still morning
Come and go, say that again
You're not coming home unless you go ahead and
Graduate and go to fucking college
Never really had a chip of faith and that’s
What’s so important to you now that I’m
Flunking out
If all I know is what I’m told I know I’m failing but it’s
Getting late
It’s getting really dark
And I'm cold
So far, haven't learned shit to with this
I could just fall asleep behind the steering wheel
But I don’t have to
Go to bed
Again again
To wake up to be bored
But I don't have to go anymore
Oh my lord
Having so much fun when you're
Out of here
If all I know is what I’m told I know I’m failing but it’s
Getting late
It’s getting really dark
And I'm cold

Too scared to know you’re running out of effort
Realize you're fine and don't just stare
Back and forth we call each other nicknames
Till those names become accustomed to ourselves
The neighborhood was looking so familiar
And the sweater that you bought was secondhand
Everything was looking kinda fuzzy
Until you reached out and grabbed me by the hand
***
Caught floating around at a bus stop
It’s three AM and I’m driving home
Good thing we’re caught in the vortex
You’re not driving home tonight
***
Realize you’re fine
Realize your mistakes
A perfect night with nothing to report
A perfect night until I wake up

If you saw me now you would be so
Disappointed
For this reason i’ll be well upon my way
If you’d notice I’ve been feeling more like shit
Of course you didn't because that's the way it is
Because you
Need to understand
Im searching out a viable antidote for this
Curious disease
Forewarning I look like I’m tired but I’m fired up
Do you wanna come over later
I’m not exactly sure
Racing home on sunday night
I mean monday morning cause here comes the sunlight
I’m not one for these mornings, you’re not one to give warnings
Here we are, anyways
We slice the cord and break away you
Cut your wounds in such a way it
Spells out my name
But you
Need to understand
Im searching out a viable antidote for this
Curious disease
Forewarning I look like I’m tired but I’m fired up
Do you wanna come over later
I’m not exactly sure

Stress in the Jar

You're not fond of me
And you're tearing me apart
You're killing me and I just can't give up
Walking in the sand
In an altered state of mind
Try to clear your head
For the sake of being here
AC doesn't work, but we've done the hard part
Sunscreen on your nose, or the lack there of it
You're not fond of me
And you're tearing me apart
You're killing me and I just can't give up
You're not fond of me
And you're absolutely right
If I stop now I won't recover
The feeling never stops
Feeling so on edge
Rattle in my head
And the itch that I can't reach
AC doesn't work, but we've done the hard part
Sunshine on my face (when I wake up)
You're not fond of me
And you're tearing me apart
You're killing me and I just can't give up
You're not fond of me
And you're absolutely right
If I stop now I won't recover
But the chemicals we had
Well they won't affect us yet
So we put them in our heads and wonder why were coughing
As we stomp on fractured glass
And our hearts are still intact
The chemicals aren't bad unless you think about it

She knew I had frustrations, she said I shouldn't be complacent
With my current situation as i sat right there, adjacent
To the classroom we had met in it was the class that she had hated
Yet year after year, she continued still to take it.
I miss video games at 1 am
Trading yu gio oh cards in your basement
Comic book allowances
And wishing we could still be friends
Baggy pants, Colorful hats
To hold down my hair and to hide my skin
Though i'll go out, I'd rather stay in
What would the neighbors say if they saw me like this
There's still video games at the practice space
Put in melee whos your main
Lots of things that I need to say
Guess they'll go unsaid for one more day
I lost you guys when I found myself
When the stress I kept in jars and put up on the shelf
Finally fell, eventually I knew
That time isn't well spent with people i outgrew
So I will talk for myself though I will speak to you in tongues
Things you may not understand, but you'll try and that's enough.

So very typical for you to be so sad about a polaroid
Count all your memories (ah ah)
Cause your life is fleeting
So you make your way to the top of a mountain
In a town with the faces you know
You're in a cabin in the woods
And you slept in the attic
Making your coffee in the dark
And your name and height is carved into the bark
(Your name, your height)
But your eyes gaze off, far before we leave
All dressed up for a day at the beach and you take one step in the stress
The asphalt isn't all that hot (ah ah)
But your feet are burning
Take one look around at all of your family
Internalize the way that if felt
To see them all together once again
And we’re all at the char pit
Making your coffee in the dark
And your name and height is carved into the bark
(Your name, your height)
But your eyes gaze off, far before we leave
Late one night he passed away
And the stars lit up and thanked him for his stay
As time moves on a silent tide rolls in
Making your coffee in the dark
And your name and height is carved into the bark
(Your name, your height)
But your eyes gaze off, far before we leave
But your eyes gaze off, far before we leave
But your eyes gaze off, far before we leave

I turned it off again, oh no
Is it crucial to be ecstatic
Any time that i'm alone
I've been feeling more like an addict
I know you're right I need space
Tv static is getting the best of me
Coffee and not enough sleep
Threw up in the high school parking lot
Enough is enough
I can feel the changing currents in my bones
Enough is enough
Struggling to keep my innocence oh no
Didn't like my name until you
Said it quietly, under your breathe
In reference to the mess we made
When we were just a couple of months ago old
Make me make me like me more
Because that's just how we are in the end
You wanna know, what it's like to be so
Formerly known
Enough is enough
I can feel the changing currents in my bones
Enough is enough
Struggling to keep my innocence oh no
Enough is enough
I can feel the changing currents in my bones
Enough is enough
Struggling to keep my innocence oh no

Pine trees and the smell of rain
Wooden supports doomed to fall but I’ll take the risk for living like this
Brick walls and old concrete
Weeds and grass grows in between the cracks as nature fights back
Id memorize every room, to a T cause id have nothing
Else to do in my new house
Every drawer out of place
Red brick fire place and a wicker chair that I wont use
(ooo)
Well I’m going crazy I think
I need something I can see
Now that I'm older I guess
I should be just fine with this
But what you need, is what you see,
On TV
Searched all throughout your drawers
Minimize the damage I can not ignore on the second floor
Everything is out of place
But I havent got the time to do this all on my fucking own
(woahs)
Well,
I'm going crazy I think
I need something I can see
Now that I'm older I guess
I should be just fine with this
But what you need, is what you see,

Cool calm and collected as I walk
To a scattered destiny afar
Mind full of fractures to repair
I feel incomplete but I feel happy
Those times scared me to my core
Until we, got back in the van to go on tour
Where I could, take time to reflect on what I’ve learned
Then the lightbulb flickered on when I returned
I gotta, get up and get back to my life
I’m thinking, this matter surely ends tonight
I wanna, move up to somewhere with more snow
Knowing what I know, I could do this on my own
But watch out, someones gonna break you
My god, somethings gotta budge
Maybe you could go back to the doctor
You try to fix yourself with drugs
But you’re, missing the point again
You're not all that broken
Must be something stuck inside your head
You're gonna go so far
Must be something in my head
I'm gonna go so far (Yeah)
You’re a straight line
On a highway
You’re a mascot of the human race
You were aching
And it's too much
So you call someone to see what's up
In a bathroom
On the fourth floor
You would find your message is still
Engraved in
The hot glass
It would read to you for the rest of time
And I cried the whole ride home
And thought about how everyone dies someday
A wonderful life made with love
Wonderful…
