Sleepyhead 02:27
Well, look who's awake again Good morning, sleepyhead How do you feel Now that all of your friends are gone Because you made them wait too long For you to wake up
2.
Daydream 03:02
Stuck in a daydream Golden sunset hues Blurred image of you Why did I waste your time Dragging me around After I checked out I don't know Why I couldn't let go Lies that I told myself Still feel somewhat true I don't know what to believe When all that I know Is that I built myself On the frames we made out of love But I ran out of love So soon
3.
Perfect Pair 03:41
What's the point of having your health? When you're gonna die Can't take good care of yourself? Why bother It's the little voice in my head Couldn't turn it off It's my best, most talkative friend And it tells me I would never leave you No, I would never do that to you I know, I know that you need me Whether you like me or not You are stuck with me now and forever I think that we make the perfect pair, don't you
4.
It fills the spaces up It fills the silence when I can't speak Just breathe It'll pass again It'll pass, but it never leaves me It's not something love can fix Neither plants nor medicine Only I can Wouldn't that be nice If I could just will it all away I bet if I could hold my breath Long enough to choke to death Maybe that might fix my problem With it always coming back again
5.
Messy 04:37
What a mess, wish that I could clean it up But I'm not done, I'll find every way to fuck this up You know me, only ever make mistakes When I breathe, that's the worst one that I make Feel bad for myself for a while, then I feel just fine Back and forth on a swing goes my mood and I wish It would just stay still It gets old trying to make sense of it So let me go, don't let me come back again Wash your hands, you are better off Without the messes that I make I don't need to see how you're doing without me I know
6.
Wisteria 04:58
Wait up again, I can't keep up with you I'm running out of breath And you're doing fine, just like you always do Wish I could be more like you We grew apart, each in our own separate ways I'm just glad we grew at all But that doesn't mean that I don't miss you I couldn't say anything I could just watch you Watch you outgrow all your friends Just like you're supposed to But I couldn't see that through Why would I want to I was hopeful But it's all misplaced Because nothing really suits you Like the life you're living now Least of all my company, I just wish I knew how To shed my skin And grow like you did But I wouldn't know where to start Because I'm nothing like you
