I Don't Dream

When I decide to talk about who I am
I just think about the person I can't stand
And how he keeps popping up at random
He loves how much I can't stand him
I can't tell if it's a split personality
Or a sporadically intense anger issue
I can't seem to pinpoint the cause
But the effect is keeping me on pause
Figuring it out just keeps getting more difficult
I know I'm unbearably predictable
And there's no real way to calm my anger
I feel like I'll always be the real danger
Coming on way too strong
Or not at all
Letting my emotion go with every fall
Till I'm left an emotionless blob of noting
Hoping I'll get through
And it will amount to something
But I just stay structurelessly the same
Never knowing if I'll find a way
To tame my brain
When I decide to talk about who I am
I just think about the person I can't stand
And how he keeps popping up at random
He loves how much I can't stand him

Keep Up

I just breeze through all I’ve been through
I’m sorry I’m not the best person to talk to
I just voice my side of the story
Cause if it’s not about me than it's boring
And I hate that I still act this way
I guess I never got the attention I craved
Now I’m a full grown spoiled child
Left to die in the wild
It’s getting too extreme to deal with
I'll just stay a negative piece of shit
Writing the same lines to the same conflicts
Living my life in a way that contradicts
I don’t know what I’m trying to stand for
I’m sorry that I’ll always want more
But I refuse to lean on an excuse
I don’t want this way to be what I choose
So I gotta put in the effort
Stop smelling my clothes to find a clean T-shirt
And reconcile all my fault lines
And destroyed relationships
I hope someone day
My stupid brain
Will move past all of this
My old friendships
Will never be something I miss

I can't keep coming up with more excuses
I'll just admit I'm always wrong and completely useless
Cause when it comes to real responsibility
I will let everyone down including me
I'll prove once again I haven't changed a bit
Despite changing my lifestyle the thought just sits
Where I can't ever seem to reach closure
I wish I knew why I'm still so weak and never sober
I just phase out of my own reality
The time I spend alone means everything to me
But at the same time it's what's tearing me a part
I wish the reality of life wasn't so dark
By now you can see
I don't have a grasp on my own stability

Temp Agency Reject

Sometimes it will come without warning
Take all the energy out of me
And I become boring
Tired and cranky
I'm just too hard to be around
The more I try
The more I get cut down
And now I’m done trying and everyone left
Even though I tried to bring you with me
You said it was all about myself
You just live your factory job
And I’m a loser when
Held in that light
I just fail to be an adult in any way
I’ll never grow up
Believe me I hear what they say
And then the silence
Is even more disheartening
I generally phase it out
But it will always come around eventually
I'm just too hard to be around
The more I try
The more I get cut down
And now I’m done trying and everyone left

Lose Everything
02:19
|
|||
|
Sometimes I’m so oblivious
To the problems that are so obvious
I stay silent
Instead of stating what’s wrong
And that’s probably the worst fact of all
Everything just keeps drifting away completely
And the more I try to hold on
The more and more
Everything just goes wrong
I just keep getting stifled by old problems
That keep producing ancient outcomes
That I should've learned my lesson from
But like I said I'm unbelievably dumb
I’m just trying to be my own role model
But that's hard to achieve
When you’re just depressed and hollow
I'm just trying to mellow out
But every morning I wake up
Stressed and loud
Wearing all my problems on my sleeve
I'm just a freak no one wants to believe
If I could just change a little bit
Maybe I wouldn't be in this frustrated fit
Of never changing
While simultaneously
Wanting to grow

I think I get it now
Everyone tells you
It'll get better
But they can't show you how
I guess that's my negative attitude
Coming to light
I always act so angry
But I'm too pathetic
To put up a fight
I guess I just get lost in the intense emotion
Everything gets lost in the explosion
I’ll never be
Someone to look up to
I can’t even change myself
Like you’re supposed to
I just get lazy and neglect it
All over again
I’ll just continue the cycle
Of losing all my friends
This how it always is in the end
This how it always is in the end

Isolated Incident

You know what
I'm not going to sit
And try to tell you I'm better
That my moods changed
And I'm done having episodes
They'll always find me
I'll always give in
I'm just a mess trying to
Conjure the evil within
I don't know where it comes from
This random ego
That makes me no fun
Can't believe I got this dumb
Coming to terms
That I think
I might be done
Reacting to the opinion
Of this imaginary entity
I know it's making fun of me
All's I do is consume
And hope for the best
Every time the pain
Returns to my chest
And I'm convinced
I'm going to die
One of these days
I'll be right
And I'll never know why
Or if I lived
Can't believe I got this dumb
Coming to terms
That I think
I might be done
Reacting to the opinion
Of this imaginary entity
I know it's making fun of me
All's I do is consume
And hope for the best
Every time the pain
Returns to my chest
And I'm convinced
I'm going to die
One of these days
I'll be right
And I'll never know why
Or if I lived

It’s been so long
Since I’ve stayed up like this
I think I miss my friends
Even though I know
I don’t mean shit
I’ve never been there
For anybody long enough
To have a friendship
That’s stronger than a bluff
Cause when push comes to shove
I’ll always be on my own
I’ve got no miracles left to show
I’m way too difficult to deal with
I watch my life pass by
While I don’t do shit
Cause I get way too extreme
When I invest all of myself
But this has been
The strongest kind
Of help
It’s like living with a stranger
For twenty six years
That took all of my money
And great memories
But left all of my fears
And now I’m left with these tendencies
That take all of the best parts of me
And just tosses them out of my memory
And leaves everything that’s wrong with me
I’m way too difficult to deal with
I watch my life pass by
While I don’t do shit
Cause I get way too extreme
When I invest all of myself
But this has been
The strongest kind
Of help

Waste Of Potential
02:44

I just need out of my routine
To regain strength
In pursuing my dream
But it keeps me awake
Sleep is just more time to waste
Cause I feel meaningless
In every move I make
These thoughts are never
Going to be easy to shake
Even though I've written it out
So many times
I don't know what
Memories were mine
Cause it never was my situation
It was just a pathetic default destination
That I thought was my truth
But I was so young
I didn't know what to do
So I sat around and watched
A toxic family grow
In a town I grew up in
You know how that goes
I wasted what was supposed
To be the best years of my life
For empty rooms and
Staying up all night
But I'll continue my fight
Till I feel at least
A little bit alright
Cause it never was my situation
It was just a pathetic default destination
That I thought was my truth
But I was so young
I didn't know what to do
So I sat around and watched
A toxic family grow
In a town I grew up in
You know how that goes
