tell me what you think you notice or if it is ever gonna hold up been living life blindfolded will you ever know you’re enough tell me what you think you notice or it is ever gonna hold up got 24 eyes, they’re glued on you judging posture, poised in salute i don’t mind, no i don’t, no i don’t i’ve been busy killing time missing subtle gestures we could be on the same page but i’m condensed, handwritten, and paraphrased you have something of mine you will never learn to replace so forgive me leave us no trace the noise of machines will drown out the sound of every conversation as if to let us contemplate them i don’t mind, no i don’t, no i don’t i’ve been busy wasting time gazing into your floor these spots could be murals on your wall but condemned to be beneath your feet

i’ve been making unfair comparisons since the moment that i first saw you again you could never compare to my overactive imagination you’ve been staring straight through me i can hear it in every word that you speak with your opaque stares and frustrated glares all cast in my direction your regrets are just a desperate grasp at a better past and your remorse it will get you nowhere it has gotten you nowhere and your regrets are just a shameful attempt at a better past and your remorse it will get you nowhere it has gotten you nowhere and my regrets are just shameful attempt at a cover up of who i was and what i put forward and what i put forward and my regrets are just a desperate at a better past and my remorse is pulling me backwards it’s pulling me backwards

Guidelines 04:16
chasing myself in circles i am sure to collapse dizzy, disgusting proportions distracted, i’m feeling sick living distortion with adrenaline, i’m hearing my own blood course through my veins pulsating earlobes, i’m going insane waiting for some sort of verdict i’m going insane i’ll never be as good as myself look into the future i’ll go down until i’m broken and can’t go on i’ll never be as good as myself or the image i’ve created keeping myself in my own hell i need help don’t think for a second that these lines should be treated as guidelines or the marks in the roads are just suggestions to follow they won’t keep you safe i’ve been racking my brain for some sort of explanation but all i can hear is the blood coursing through my own earlobes i’ll never behave until there is damage to be undone (keep yourself safe, you are my son) (keep yourself safe, we love you) i’ll never behave until there is damage to be undone (keep yourself safe, you are my son) (you’ll never change the way i feel) i’ll never behave until there is damage to be undone (just keep yourself safe, just keep yourself safe) i’ll never behave until there is damage to be undone (just keep yourself safe) these guidelines won’t keep you safe these guidelines won’t keep you safe these guidelines won’t keep you safe (the walls, they won’t keep you sane, i hope you’ve retained your faith) these guidelines won’t keep you safe (not to save face)

Stranded 02:31
so i’m standing on this blazing pavement and my voice is wearing paper thin from the words i choose and the ones that always happen to get let through see, i can’t compel you to feel the way i know you never have so i’ll just compare you to every single boy i thought i had and it shouldn’t mean anything that it is me in this situation always crowding up your judgement and ending in frustration i will never be the one you rely on for all your needs you see i lose my mind whenever i’m around you you know, i lose my thoughts whenever i’m around you so i’m standing on this blazing pavement and my voice is wearing paper thin from the words i choose and the ones that always happen to get let through and it shouldn’t mean anything that it is me in this situation always clouding up your judgement and ending in frustration i will never be the one you rely on for everything

Benefit 02:43
maybe i should give you the benefit of the doubt when i’m not convinced that you can help anymore than you already tried to maybe i should give you the benefit but i know you only know your codependence how can i trust anyone who thinks like you maybe i should give you the benefit of the doubt when i am not convinced that you can help anymore than you already failed to and what if i should try to quantify your dependence but i’m never gonna wonder why i’ll never get any closer to you without asking ‘cause i don’t know how it’s going to end with you all the way over there ‘cause i’m impartial, i don’t care as long as i’m not involved maybe i should give you the benefit of the doubt when i am not convinced that you can help anymore than you already failed to and what if i should try to qualify your dependence but i’m never gonna wonder why i’ll never get any closer to you without asking ‘cause i don’t know how it’s going to end with you all the way over there ‘cause i’m impartial, i don’t care as long as i’m not involved ‘cause i would drive the 751 miles to let you know i don’t care

Amtrak 02:57
i would shovel this train out, all by myself if it will get you gone just a little bit faster i would dig this train out, all by myself if it will get you out of my life a little faster but i know it’s no use i’ll be stuck here talking to you ‘til the morning comes it’s another recourse that i’ll have to endure your voice it’s a choir of mistakes it’s a chorus that i can’t take for another second unless of course you decide to call and i would dig this train out, all by myself if it will get you out of my life a little faster i would dig this train out, all by myself if it will get you back to milwaukee on time but i know it’s no use i’ll be stuck here talking to you ‘til the morning comes it’s another recourse that i’ll have to endure your voice it’s a choir of mistakes it’s a chorus that i can’t take for another second unless of course you the earth begins to thaw but i don’t know how to break this to you but my motivation is anything anything but the same and i can’t prove this to you that I’m full of positive thoughts and wishes concerning you

it’s deepening depending on the frequencies you scream at me the inconsistencies between the words i think and those i speak fair whether you abuse yourself feign confusion to excuse yourself fair-weather friend cry in the rain fair-weather friend cry in the rain complain or brave the storm, you will always have a place complain or brave the storm, you will always have a place
