why was it different for me
drowning in this crowded hallway
surrounded by water lilies
why did it hurt more for me
I don't know what I'm feeling
and I doubt I ever will
breathing the same oxygen
and yet suffocating
in my skin
and how could you do this to me?
I never asked for much I just wanted to be at peace
but who am I to be me?
they bottlenecked this build and now I'm paying the price
breathing the same oxygen
and yet suffocating
in my skin
because all I have is castles in air (a lot of times)
and I will always be alone
i will always be alone
because all I have is castles in air
but that's ok
it's better this way
why can't i feel it anymore
these random japanese dudes aren't enough to keep me awake
and why do i feel it all the time
this sickness in my stomach that never goes away
breathing the same oxygen
and yet suffocating
in my skin
and all I have is castles in air (a lot of times again)
and I will always be alone
i will always be alone
because all I have is castles in air
but that's ok
it's better this way

can't you see it's time for bed?
well, I guess it's all in your head
I had a dream last night that you forgave me
we stayed in bed all night to watch Grey's Anatomy
then I looked and in your place was Patrick Dempsey
I woke up screaming and now you are gone from me

everything's so easy to ignore
I didn't hear the knocking at my door
love and other obnoxious feelings
condensation drips from the ceiling
but some things i just can't turn a blind eye to
like library books that are overdue
this throbbing pain that lives inside my head
and all the things I wish I would have said
are you listening?
this fading hope adding salt to my wounds
swishing and spitting
you're the cavity that my sweet tooth presumes
are you disappearing?
my eyes really aren't what they used to be
colored hearing
your gentle voice takes with it blue and green

hey rolling boy hey rolling boy what's it like up in heaven?
many tears are rolling out of us again
now your melancholy voice seeps into everything I do
and you'll never know how much of me is you
dancing to the loudest whisper
shotgun and a telecaster
glancing at the choice before me
i knew which one you chose
once more!
goodbye!
hey rolling boy hey rolling boy what's it like up in heaven?
many tears are rolling out of us again
now your melancholy voice seeps into everything I do
and you'll never know how much of me is you
and now your words have failed you
a dream that will never come true
breathing your life into my words
I'll make the whole world spin
and now we're so unhappy
refrain from falling to your knees
for once I just wanna smile
so watch us roll again
once more!
goodbye!
hey rolling boy hey rolling boy you know I hope we meet again
when I let out one last scream and meet my end
hey rolling boy hey rolling boy what's it like up in heaven?
many tears are rolling out of us again
now your melancholy voice seeps into everything I do
and you'll never know how much it's rolling out

somewhere over the rainbow
is there anyone who can hear me?
somewhere outside my window
is there no one who can heal me?
born with a gift
that the world threw away
an angel from heaven smoking two packs a day
american made
and hollywood overdosed
somewhere under the willow
are you looking at my body?

cut out plastic mask likeness
show it to your friends
bear in kind time out of mind
try to make amends
you wallow in a sounding funeral dirge
a hollow sin that begs their souls to converge
I just wanna be
at your apogee
and maybe I could find a face to call my own
that mask in the mirror
isn't getting any clearer
it's pounding on the door but can't escape
different versions of me in minds of everyone I meet
I'm having trouble finding one I like
If you all believe in me I'll be the one to set us free
and sacrifice every star in the sky
how this grace does rearrange
supple skeletons
to remind erring mankind
I will shed my skin
you'll follow them just to be none the richer
so hollow and you just keep getting sicker

joining
systems to pointing
and notwithstanding
not ordinary
feeling alone
and feeling left out
this is the way that it's meant to be
feeling
we feel like healing
with alike voices
colorful noises
feeling fatigue
and feeling empty
is this is the way that it's meant to be?
squirming like her words
were slipped and slurred undeterred
vibrating strings repeat
fear begets absentees
when i depart
please point my body towards the sun
if i throw my whole life away
is that enough for you? just for you
there is no one left to blame
i will take this weight
i will follow you
will i wait for a better day
a smile on my face? on your face
if i shed my skin to hide
where I've been am i
still the me i chose?
one two three
flavor
of human nature
but sugar-coated
going unnoticed
feeling that pain
with nothing to gain
is this the way that it's meant to be?
sent for betterment
a testament never meant
four on the floor
or so the order orients
when i depart
please point my body toward the sun
if i throw my whole life away
is that enough for you? just for you
there is no one left to blame
i will take this weight
i will follow you
avert your gaze!
distort the static in your brain!
misconstrue it so you don’t see the message that it brings!
or so I hoped it wasn’t just me
how many bones will I break
how much of my body will they take
before there’s nothing to excruciate
it gets so cold at night
please eat all my dreams
if i throw my whole life away
is that enough for you? just for you
there is no one left to blame
i will take this weight
i will follow you
to each their own

how strange it is
to live like this
is it stressful
to be so sentimental?
this is my weakness
a kinesis
a prayer
for smiles that we shared
what am I supposed to do?
my spirit makes you cry
now I'm ready to fall through
so please sing me a lullaby
how small we are
our whole world lives under a star
our whole existence
just a petty subsistence
what am I supposed to do?
my spirit makes you cry
now I'm ready to fall through
so please sing me a lullaby
how strange it is
the greatest among these is love
between such lonely molecules
whose purpose is to live
but not to feel alive
