We hid, In the bathtub, Like the old nights, Your sacrifice Weed out, Most mentions, It’s getting late now, You burnt down your house Wasted, In your parent’s bed, Alone with just the static It went to your head Warm front You’re thawed out For the first time You slept on the couch Why can’t you be more patient? [4x]

Homesick 04:15
I don’t wanna love you anymore I don’t believe in secrets I’m not gonna listen anymore Nothing you can do to keep me I don’t wanna know where you’ve been I’m tired of giving my shits I don’t even wanna fly You’ve clipped my wings for good There’s a poison polluting the air I couldn’t forget what I’ve learned Run through the relics My brother, you’ve grown toxic You’ll turn to dust With or without you, I’ll sing You’ll turn to dust With or without you, I’m gonna sing I’m not gonna cry here anymore Not in front of you There’s a ghost town in my heart And I’m afraid you’ll get to know me Wasn’t really worth it anymore There’s just too much to risk I’m not gonna stay here anymore Even though it’s not what I promised There’s a poison polluting the air I couldn’t forget what I’ve learned Run through the relics My brother, you’ve grown toxic You’ll turn to dust With or without you, I’ll sing You’ll turn to dust With or without you, I’m gonna sing For once, just breathe And let it take you You said “I’m homesick” Yeah man, I bet that’s it For once, just breathe And let it take you For once, just breathe And let it take you You’ll turn to dust With or without you, I’ll sing You’ll turn to dust With or without you, I’m gonna sing

Twice a Day 02:25
I stop myself at least twice a day But you'll never get anywhere that way I've written an email and signed it as mine Cause my family told me to for the fourteenth time And I've been tired for nineteen weeks I make up plans so I don't have to speak To people who know me or all of my friends All my messages are short and I miss them This was supposed to have a very pretty chorus With a set of lines that was damn near poignant But I can't bring myself to wordplay But I promise that I'll wake up tomorrow and do it the next day I want to be a famous guy But I wanted to make time machines when I was five And that didn't pan out cause I didn't know jack And I still don't know jack but it's just about music now

Why can't you kiss more often Why can't your sex be softer Why do you have to see each-other like this Have to have those needs Why can't you hold more often Why can't your sex be softer Why do we have to see eachother like this Have to have those needs I'm a ne'er-do-well I don't do to well With crowds or loud noises With people and their voices Why can't you all be better Why can't your sex be softer Why do we have to see eachother like this Have to have these needs Why can't we kiss more often Why can't our sex be softer Why do we have to crawl around down here We fight and scratch and wheeze Unable to breathe I'm a ne'er-do-well I don't do to well With crowds or loud noises With people and their voices Sex is softer Sex be softer Now get down on your knees

We sat on the porch and talked like New York and how all of your dreams came true You pushed on about cars and how fast all of yours are and the house you’re living in And that’s only one because you say you have ten and from there you see everything I know you’re drifting off Just long enough to spoil yourself And you’ll feel a breeze and make light of t.v. and the drones that killed your dad And the news is weak at the sight of the siege and the anchor’s falling asleep Your pantry is stacked with snacks from Japan and you always bought me designer magnets You filled your lobby and called it a party and never had patience again And I want to know what made you let go and put all your temperance to rest I know you’re drifting off Just long enough to spoil yourself And you’ll feel a breeze and make light of t.v. and the drones that killed your dad And the news is weak at the sight of the siege and the anchor’s falling asleep Maple is blooming back in the fields, I thought it’d make you smile Instead you sneak out in a baby blue corvette, you had to see all for yourself In the middle of the night and your two headlights, the officer involved said they weren't all that bright I know you’re drifting off Just long enough to spoil yourself And you’ll feel a breeze and make light of t.v. and the drones that killed your dad And the news is weak at the sight of the siege and the anchor’s falling asleep No smoking inside and a month has gone by and I just feel weaker in time The porch has burnt down and I moved from my county, adopted a piece of highway And Disney's not lost and nothing is over, so I like how it feels, how it feels all over
