There's no use in asking me to hold on
To a shred of hope that I might be what you want
I was always a backup plan
I would crumble to pieces
Like dirt in your hands
Cause nobody needs me the way i need everyone else to need me
So what's the use in even trying
When everyone always leaves in the end
If I left them first it'd be easier
If I drank that liquid cure
If I went away to that quiet place
Where I don't have to think anymore
About how everyone I've ever loved has run
Away from the hideous mess i've become
What happened
What happened

Sink

When you look at me do you feel anything at all
I've been trying my hardest not to take it so personal
I guess i wanted to be an exception to rule
Painted myself a martyr for playing the fool
God knows I've been less than a saint but i'll
Peel back my skin to find
I'm only temporary and none of this matters when we're all gonna die
With my head in the sink
It's all so clear to me now
When i'm seeing my body from ten feet off the ground
That i don't wanna die i just don't wanna live this way anymore
I can't forgive myself for all of my mistakes
God knows that i'm so afraid
Of the things I do when he's not around
And I
I'm only trying to drown him out
When I leave my body collapsed on the ground
And oh I know I disappoint you I can't make you stay
So go ahead it's alright baby
Turn and walk away
Just turn and walk away
Because the less that I live for
The less that I try
The less there will be of me to miss when I die

Leave The Room

I know I told you I would try to see the world objectively
It's just so much harder than i thought that it would be
I'm sorry for the way I always end up overreacting
Can't blame me when you don't react to anything at all
It wouldn't be so hard if
This chemical imbalance
Would let me find some balance between
All the good and evil in me
The devil up my sleeve said
Everybody's gonna leave someday
He said that everybody's gonna leave someday
He said that "you're gonna push them all away"
I guess that's all I've ever been
A costume of somebody else
I thought would be a better version of me
I know it's so embarrassing
When we're with your friends
In public i wish i could stop but i can't help it
I know it's no excuse
Can't argue with you when you leave the room
If i was in your place i'd probably leave too
I'd probably leave too
I'd probably leave too
I'd probably leave too
If i was in your place i'd probably leave me too

How Do You Sleep

Tell me all about your kind of love
The kind that you wield like a loaded gun to my head
Did you only want what's best
For a bastard child in a party dress
It's a shame
The bed that you've made
I'm not interested in an apology
Even if i got one it wouldn't mean a thing
It's not like you actually care what i think
The empty feeling you passed on to me
The pain in my chest when i grieve
For the mother i wanted so bad
That i won't get to meet
I hate looking at you in the mirror
Hate hearing your voice when i lose my temper
And you were the one that gave me all this anger
How do you sleep when your daughter's a stranger

What They Want

Yesterday I walked a mile pacing around my room
Tried to write it down into a song
I wanted to collapse under the weight
Of all the sad thoughts in my brain
Decided I didn't have anything to say
I wanted to call up all of the people that i love
But if they even answered
I would probably just hang up
I hate to be a bother I just get so lonely
Talking to myself cause no one else is listening
Cause nobody cares unless you're dying
Nobody wants to hear you talk
And if nobody cares unless you're dying
I might as well give them what they want
Cause nobody cares unless you're dying
Nobody wants to hear you talk
And if nobody cares unless you're dying
I might as well give them what they want

Anyone Else

Passed out on the couch again
You told me that you tried to put me to bed
I couldn't be bothered just slept in my jeans
Like I did every night for the past seven weeks
And you said that you were worried about me
I said you shouldn't be
I'm doing fine
I knew that you knew that it was a lie
What else what I supposed to say
When I was drunk every night
On your bathroom floor
Kissing the tile then drinking more
Until I listed off every terrible thought
From my spinning head
While you begged me to stop
And then I wished that i could be anyone else
So that I wouldn't have to see myself
The way I know that everyone else probably does
It's not like i could even blame them because
I know that they're right
I know you don't care I don't hate you for leaving
I hate me for driving you there

Nothing To Anybody

Walking the streets
Quarter past one
Taste of the pavement rich on my tongue
I've been trying to find some control
Always grinding my teeth
Biting my tongue
Emptying bottles 'till I become a wreck
Scare all of my friends
Cause I've been dying to feel nothing
And I just might get my way
If i just keep pissing my whole life away
Tell me to calm down
Say that I'm good
Tell me it's getting late and I should come home
I probably won't
Cause I'm so fixed on dying young
I'll ruin everything I love
I don't know what's wrong with me
And I'm so sorry
That I made all of the people I love leave
I am selfish I am evil
How could anybody love me
And when I die
I hope my life meant nothing to anybody
That meant anything to me
