Some Hearts Are More Crooked Than Others 01:55
lyrics
buy track
I walk down the street I feel nothing but defeat I hear a lover sing I don't feel a thing When I'm home alone I ignore the phone I tried to grab your wrist Oh dear I must have missed You are in distress Oh look, you're such a mess Now I have to leave What have you done to me I walk down the road I feel nothing but alone O stand at the window As tears scald and start Love your crooked neighbor With your crooked heart When I drown in sadness I think about our last dance Tomorrow or today Life will leak away I'll write my poetry All over my body

Bright Side of Summer 02:05
lyrics
buy track
Do I still make you laugh like I used to? Or did I stop being funny to you? Do you miss me like I miss you? Or am I not important to you? If it was so hard to forget me Why's it so easy ignoring me? I'll text you every once in awhile I don't think you'd even smile When did it go from cute To just plain annoying? I invited you to my show I knew you wouldn't go Listen to your music And I'll write mine about you Scratches on my guitar Scars in your wrist You treated me terribly today I wrote about you anyway A valentine with things you love You didn't even give me a hug We were together for a short time It felt like forever Now we aren't together It feels like time has stopped I hate staying up this late All I think about is fate I don't know what went wrong We were together for so long There never was an easy way To find the words to sat Flip the record over So I can see the bright side of summer

I Hate My Friends 01:17
lyrics
buy track
I don't know what to do It's like I don't exist to you I'm the third wheel walking behind You only call me when you're high How can you ignore me After everything that's happened I can't remember anything Besides crying on my floor I think I hate my friends They probably hate me too They'll smoke all my weed And ignore me nest week Cut off connection with everyone the other day My friends are changing colors, I remain gray You're the people who hurt me the most Are you my friends on enemies? Everyone's too close I definitely hate my friends I know they hate me too They drink all my beer I won't be important next year

Invisible Man 02:50
lyrics

the weather has gotten me down I hate that i wish to be 6 feet underground I don't want to be me I've been lost in my head for way too long I don't know where to go can't remember where I've gone I have realized people change some over night, some over years they aren't who I knew back then the blood drips just like tears days are getting longer and nightmares are coming back our talks are getting shorter there are so many words I lack I've put my bracelets back on and changed my hair again I tried to write my feelings but the pencil was broken

Storm Clouds on a Happy Day 02:11
lyrics
buy track
I've made plenty of mistakes these past few months I will always love you I've said it more than once This is a song about our breakup a song about how I felt while I'm writing this I can't forget how you smelt I couldn't handle the constant fights almost every night we both tried our hardest I was never right you'd come over to watch How I Met Your Mother we'd lay in bed and think about the summer You want to just be friends I'll learn to live with that I can't say I like how this year has been spent you hate when I text you high you could have said goodbye the funny thing about life is you can't spell it without "lie" too many nights I've been lying awake in bed I can't get the memories out of my head we almost made bad decisions by the library all my mistakes are involuntary

Things Change 01:08
lyrics
buy track
My mother is gone my father hasn't mowed the lawn I lay awake until dawn wondering how things could be so wrong My sister will cry and my brother will lie I lay awake, asking why the neighbor girl stopped dropping by The bride watches the doves the groom is not in love I lay awake to solve the mystery from above I am all these people, but not at all getting picked up is harder than the fall I finally lay down, oh so tall With bits of brain sprayed on the wall

State of Being Alone 03:08
lyrics
buy track
Do you remember about a year ago when we were still together the time has finally passed by but it's been so slow I fell on the floor and cried While you were totally fine I've given up on songs that rhyme They just took too much time All my friends are dating friends and my friends are dating my exes I have trouble telling you that this makes you uncomfortable I got so drunk last night and I blew up your phone you called me an idiot and wanted to be left alone I contradict myself in every possible way I'm a million different people and I hate them all I've spent this whole year sitting silently in my room worrying about my life and ignoring my phone

It's Been Awhile 01:29
lyrics
buy track
haven't seen you in awhile Did your hair get longer? I bought you something the other day I'm pretty sure you threw it away I'll dye my hair blue and try to impress your dad time with you is the best I've ever had Can't listen to songs because of you you'll listen with someone new Remember when you drew on my wall? it's my favorite art of all I've considered dropping out of school So I can focus on myself therapy didn't help my brain but maybe pills will numb the pain

Walking Expiration Dates 01:51
lyrics
buy track
cold showers and long car rides are the only times I can think sit on the side of the road and all I do is shrink smaller, so insignificant I think you're getting sick of me sorry i said anything Short hellos and long goodbyes are the hardest things for me smoke on a trampoline where no one will see I want to leave this town and see something new if I stay, I will drown sorry I wasn't good enough I kept the pictures of you and me I lost a friend today watching cartoons on your couch and talked the pain away I rested on the windowsill as you walked through me the friendship i tried to rebuild will never be forgotten
