i am not a fan of funerals or weddings
because essentially they are the same thing
it's not for the happy couple or the rotting corpse
it's for the people who feel happy, they don't have it worse
am i cynic, because i'm a cynic or because i's easy
do i feel sad because i'm sad or because it's interesting
it's not upsetting
but it's the truth, and only the truth
Chorus:
i am a little more than concerned for you mental well being
maybe this is how every teenager is meant to be feeling
i'm alright great good i'm fine
i'm alright great good i'm fine
i have this dream that you and me were in a jail cell and the only way out is to use a gun
but i can't bring myself to do it after you said "max i'm done i'm done"
i pulled you from the bridge
every single time
my dreams are what's troubling me that's why i can't get sleep
i kept those stupid shoes i'd like to think it makes me deep
i just want an answer
and that's enough
Chorus

silver screen liar
04:25

i'd like to think that i can go deeper
than your average ordinary teenager
but i
am a silver screen
liar
cuz everday your average ordinary teenager
plunges deeper and deeper into the thought
that they will have
their very own sitcom
life is not a movie or a tv show
its not a comic book or a webcast so
lets be alright with no plo twist tonight
cuz i as your average ordinary teenager
would like to state that i probably couldn't take
the thought
of someone controlling
my plot line
cuz i am your average ordinary teenager
and that makes me extraordinarily good
at being a human
yeah i am alright yeah i am just fine
so lets be alright just for tonight
i'll save the lies
for tomorrow
life is not extraordinary
no dear it's quite
the contrary
it's the places you go the people you meet
the hearts that you break the love that you seek
and you can see
how beautiful it can be
i am your average ordinary teenager
and that makes me extraordinarily good
at being a human
yeah i am alright yeah i am just fine
so lets be alright just for tonight
i'll save the lies for tomorrow
yeah i
am a silver screen
liar

home in the head
04:58
|

you were the catalyst i was the enzyme
breaking me down one chemical process at a time
a dopamine water slide
i was a tidied up stain free motel room
just before i met you
and you were the first traveler to
wreck my room
you were a stop light under the moonlight
i wasn't licensed to drive
was waitin on you, i just drove on through and caused
quite a stie
cuz you're the first one at the door at night and you're the second of us to leave
i thought of you and the things you do and
how i might've chaned
there's a home in my head
you visit frequently
i visit frequently
there's a home in my head
it's gettin crowded now
gettin crowded
she was a tower
she was a gold dress
she was a fire
she's just a plain text
they were a horn line they were a shakespeare quote
they're just a puff of smoke
my thoughts are the monster my thoughts are the killer
my thoughts use a crappy filter
they make me wanna say
things didn't go my way today
cuz they're the first ones at the door at night
and they're the last of us to leave
i thought of them and everything i've said
and it's hard to take it all in
cuz they're the first ones at the door at night
and my god they never leave
i thought of you and those things you do and
what if you never leave
they're always at the door
there's a home in my head
you visit frequently
i visit frequently
there's a home in my head
its gettin quiet now
its gettin quiet

an insomniac's lullaby

why sleep, when there's so much fun to be had
my brain seems to think, that we could run all the way to you and back
do do do's
honestly i don't know why you'd every want to leave
honestly the caffeine, probably doesn't help
and honestly i'm to tired,
to sleep

a song for a dark place
03:48

thinkin bout movies supposed to think in real life
thought about those kids killin them self
maybe they know somethin we don't know
maybe the show somethin we're afraid to show
but i, seem to have it all wrong
none of those movies
are about
kids killin them self
all of those movies
are about
a light switch
yeah a light switch
i can hear the sharks
i can taste the blood
i can smell the fear
it's comin for me dear
comin for me
those two guys
whom i admired
found ways to expire
at the tip of a needle
and i am afraid yes i am afraid
that any day will be my
twenty seven day
i can feel the dark
suffocate my lungs
and i, am afraid
yes i

my shoes
03:35

well you got the good news
and i got used
a promise to stay away
broken like the calm of day
wouldn't you say
well worn shoes of mine
friends weathered by the time
regret finds me in a funny way
a broken girl
a million dollar place
and i like to think that i
had a part
in putting back that heart
and just when it seemed like my life
was easy to loose
my shoes tore in two
well you got the surprise
and i got opened eyes
a gloomy type kid
had his life changed
with a single move of the head
well worn shoes of mine
friends weathered by the time
regret finds me in a funny place
cute as hell
and great music taste
and i know now
that it's all on me
you're still in my dreams
and just when it seemed
like, to much to bear
my shoes began to tear

rain/remind me
01:29
|

|
what if we never had to be this way
what if we could change
it was sunny in the morning
but the clouds they always came
and it rained
oh how it rained
and it rained on the eiffel tower
when i let you step away
on that fateful day when my
my thoughts were swayed
and it rained on the roof of the high school during
homecoming day
when i
at your touch
feel to my knees
and it rained
|

and the sky
i presume
is still the same sad shade of blue
and i will be alright
i know i've said those words before
and i know
they've been little more than a metaphor
but tonight in a sick and twisted sense
i mean them
and i want to be strong
without my right hand thoughts
and tonight i'll be alright
just be alright
because it's best case scenario
worst case mind
i'm a pessimist don't you know
it's worst case scenario
best case mind
i' m whiner don't you know
worst case scenario
best case mind
we were beautiful don't you know
worst case scenario
best case mind
i simply
refuse
to go

it's an anniversary
but not one i'm proud of
and she says max i think i'll stay here forever
and i'll stay the same
no matter how many times i say i'll change
mom please don't be so
disappointed
i don't decide
no i never decide
i'll just be where they want me to be
for the rest of my life
when i come through
yeah when they find me
i'll be long long gone
right where they want me
oh god
