Is this where I’m meant to be?
I’m screaming in a dream
I don’t know what it means
I don’t know what it means
Nothing's making sense
I dream to make believe
It's taken all of me
I don’t know what it means
I don’t know what it means
Nothing's making sense
I close my eyes, and I clench my fists
It’s a big swing and a miss.
It’s all over
Let’s run it back again.
Nothing’s making sense

I’ve tried. You’ve changed.
You can’t be saved.
A Disasterpiece that’s overplayed.
Your aim. Misled.
We fought. I bled.
Can’t tourniquet the things you said.
So let’s wait and see
Your best apology
More excuses for the mess you’ve been hiding
Sabotaging your life’s work, now there’s nothing left
You’re just another waste of a memory.
Undeserving of happy endings
Only spending time that you stole
Now you're tongue-tied from always spinning lies
Go spend your happy ending all alone
My hands were tied
I cut the string
And now your life's unraveling
I have receipts
I’ll take what’s mine
You were living off of borrowed time
It took too long for me to leave
You tore up all my sympathy
Show me your best apology
You're just another waste of a memory

I long for the days
When we would play
In your parents' basement
Growing up with this dream that we were chasing
The things that we were faced with
Don’t hold much weight anymore.
Years went by
Tires blown out.
The car battery died.
Stuck somewhere in the desert
For the third time.
Spent a night in Detroit
Woke up, now there's no blue van anymore
You can find me
Laying flat on the hardwood floor
while my mind keeps score of a game that I'll never win.
Playing back all the moves we made
I rewind, press play.
So yeah, that's how I’ve been these days.
Another 10-hour drive
Straight overnight
We quickly learned the value
of showing up
Time only consists of the birthdays that we missed
And it hurts more than it did before.
Years went by
Cousins grew up.
Another relative died
I missed another wedding
for the fourth time.
Spent a night in LA
Woke up, and the trailer lock was cut off the door
Fill it up with gas and watch it explode
Let it burn, but never get too close

I can’t quite shake that something isn’t right here.
Or am I right where I want to be?
It’s hard to raise a toast with a glass half empty.
We lost the bottom line.
Moved the goal posts and dollar signs.
The graph bleeds red.
Another downward spiral again.
What did you expect?
There’s no solutions when you're keeping secrets.
Just another downward spiral again.
I’m lighting Red flares,
Counting blank stares.
Is this for somebody else or am I self-indulging
Lighting Red flares to sell my nightmares.
Bury me in this bed and call it “Death By Dreaming.”
Have I overstayed my welcome?
Am I well past my prime?
Or am I the bastard child of Father Time?
I can’t quite shake that something isn’t right here.
Or am I right where I want to be?
It’s hard to raise a toast with a glass half empty.
Close the blinds,
Hit the lights, (and then )
Shut your eyes
Immortalize
Lock the door
throw the key (while you)
Fill your mind with fantasy
Hoping that I never wake (just to)
Spare myself from your mistakes

Don’t pick up the phone
There’s always a catch
Don’t ask for forgiveness
It’s your permission to give
But the front porch light is out again
And I keep forgetting who I am
I’ve been living so many lives
I forgot which one is mine
My priorities out of sight.
I just stay awake out of spite.
Half asleep. My phone is dead.
All my messages left on read.
Don’t pick up the phone
There’s always a catch
You think you’re alone
It’s all creeping in.
Familiar faces turned strangers
Ask where you’ve been
But the engine light is on again.
And I keep forgetting where I am
And where I’ve been

I’m learning from all my mistakes.
It’s getting harder to separate
my expectations from reality.
I’m falling back into my old habits.
We let ourselves go.
From faith we borrowed
You need to Take some time.
I’ll catch you if you’re falling out of line.
Cause I’m not far behind.
Lose, your mind.
You might just feel alive.
I’ll catch you if you’re falling out of line.
Cause I’m not far behind.
I’m on the road to redemption.
It’s only led me to dead ends.
Let’s set the record straight.
We let ourselves go.
From faith we borrowed
I’ll say it with my chest
“You’ll never get my best”
Don’t even hold your breath
You should know it’s a death wish!

Spiral

Am I crazy or
Have I been waiting too long
For you to say something
Am I jaded or
Is it complicated
To find the joy in anything
I feel nothing.
Why don’t you say something
Spiral
Right down the drain again
Last call
For the red eye to your bedroom
I’ll wait all Night for your call
But I’m face down in fantasy
On the floor beside the bed.
Idle hands typing
For something more exciting
What happened to Tay Zonday
What are the words to Chocolate Rain
I think that I’m starting to…
Spiral
Right down the drain again
Last call
For the red eye to your bedroom
I’ll wait all Night for your call
For my phone to light the room
But it's face down in front of me
and I’m face down in fantasy
On the floor beside the bed.

Constant state comparing myself
To everyone else around me
Empty words on a bottle cap
Begging me to waste the air that I breathe
I’m looking forward out of spite
‘cause the future doesn’t look so bright
I'm holding on to hope that
Someday we would look back,
That we built something great
But it's just the mess that you made…me
Constant state
Has me drowning in my mistakes
My accomplishments are tattooed in red pen.
In circles and exes.
A feeling I can’t shake.
Another night of back and forth
My feet are tired throat is sore.
And I'm not sure where to go anymore
I’m not sure where to go anymore
Euphoria and Misery
Seconds and centuries
White lies and honesty
You'll find me somewhere in between.
A nightmare and a dream.
I’m just the mess that you made…me
Another night of back and forth
My brain is rotted eyes are sore
And I'm not sure where to go anymore
I’m not sure where to go anymore
What’s the price of failure this time
Stuck in the present, never felt less alive
The worst is yet to come…FUCK

I heard you had another breakdown
Who Cares
You helped me learn to be helpless
I’m the wax to your candle flame
As you watch me melt away
Turn the lights off 'cause you’re burning bright tonight
Gaslight on, I’m scared to fight
Is it just me
Is it just me
Time and time again I’m falling on my own blade
(pulling up the replay)
Looking at the time we never spent
Stagnant in the worst way
I heard you had another breakdown
It fucking happens every day
I’m running out of things to say now! (“You’re right.” Who cares)
I guess I’ll sit around and wait
Glass cannon with a short fuse
You try to bluff but I see right through
I’m Sorry for the bad news
Strike a match and burn up all our memories
What’s your latest tragedy
Is it just me
Is it just me
I guess I’ll sit around and wait

Lately, I’m going crazy
I thought it was amazing
But it's turning out to be more like a painting
The colors fading.
I’m falling out of love with this movie that we’re
making now.
If I could I’d give it two thumbs down.
But I’ll smile for the camera now.
Places. Roll sound. Fade into the background
We’re never going back now
There's gotta be a way out
Somehow
I’ll see you on the way down
And disappear when the light burns out
Smile for the camera now.
Context: This feels like a contest.
Just to keep you spoon-fed, I sold my soul so you could call it content.
Did you read the subtext?
Pride pushed aside
For the likes and the dollars now
Remember when the open road
Felt like it could be a home
The places that we used to love all changed somehow
I’m spaced out, run down, but I’ll “Smile for the camera” now

Two million dots
Lit up at the edges of a plastic box
Fucking up my eyesight 16 hours at a time
Uptight and unwind
Watching a number fluctuate
To figure out if I’m worth anything off the clock
Intrinsic value, but what is the cost?
Hang me out to dry
Write me off and claim the profits
It’s all you ever wanted
It's like I'm running in circles to get past go
But I’m coming up short
I’m falling to pieces
I’ve come undone
There's nowhere to run
Two million times
I lied when I promised everything would be fine
Sticking with the process
Only seems to make me drive
Myself out of my mind
I think I’ve dug an early grave
To figure out my fortune’s destined for the dirt
Fools gold or copper tell me what’s worse
I think I’ve seen enough
Keeping the young dumb and under the gun
I think I’ve had enough
You’re at a dead end, there’s nowhere to run

Unrequited love
Tell me what you’re dreaming of
While you’re drowning in your coffee cup
Do you really wanna wake up
Is life just better made up
Bittersweet taste in my mouth
Yeah, you laugh about it now
Til it’s something you can’t live without
I try to keep up with my heartbeat
Rolling in the back seat
Eyes dripping caffeine
I’m shaking (close to breaking)
Feeling like the walls are closing in
Nothing left for the taking (empty and anxious)
Sink your teeth and pull the pin
Bittersweet
I wanna know that it’s the last time
I have to chase it with the thought
I should be happy just to be here
Should I be happy to be here?

Daydream

I’m living in the shadow of a silhouette
A fucking open book you never read
Is this really what you signed up for?
Is it everything you thought it would be?
Suck it up. Raise the stakes. Go all in before you break.
Don’t forget the house always wins.
Don’t leave me in a daydream
You left me to believe everything
These are moments meant for someone else
I’ve become a parody of myself
This isn’t what I signed up for
This is not how I thought it would be
Trapped inside this fantasy
Until there’s nothing left of me
Doubting my own sanity
Romanticizing make-believe
Trapped inside this fantasy
Until there’s nothing left of me
I need to find a way out
Can you help me find the way out?
