I wake up And feel it crashing down I will wait around for You to call me out But it feels So Futile Wasted days Typical It's none of my business But it's my job It's not my place to Correct what's wrong So please by All means have Your cake and Eat it too I will avoid it or embrace it I think that i am replaceable And you are the replacement This whole thing feels so dated I scream while shaking your shoulders I stir the pot just to watch you boil over It's fine Because you have control And you deem it fair But one day I will take the throne You put your key in the ignition While I watch my life play out on closed circuit television You tell your friends you're so happy While I struggle to get out of this Plastic wrapping It isn't fucking happening

PTSD 01:41
What if every time I got back up They said "damn I should kick them down more often" And what if every time you told me to shut up I zipped my lips and hid the key so well i nearly lost it I fear god and being sober You're always right Even when you're wrong So when I get pushed around I'll know it's all my fault PTSD I am forced to be an advocate PTSD I am forced to fuckin deal with it I fear god and being sober PTSD Forced to be an advocate oh god It's not like I don't deal with it

Model Man 01:18
Model man Pinnacle of masculinity Model man No intellect no reasoning No taking stands Because I am not your enemy I promise i'm not your enemy Blissful in my ignorance cause I don’t really give a shit Model man The cult of masculinity Model man All apathy no empathy No taking stands Because I'm not your enemy I'm blissful! Blissful in my ignorance cause I don’t really give a shit

Outcasts And for good reason God forbid we accept anyone Tried and true But outdated Doesn't apply to everyone The brain is just an organ but at the same time a weapon I thought you knew how to use it Friendly fire's not your only option But is alot more convenient Than taking the time to actually think things through But why would you I picked up the phone You stumbled through explanations You can tell that my voice was shaking And I could feel your eyes roll when I said Take care of yourself motherfucker Take care Remembered by misfortune All of your truth cursed and distorted I thought that you'd never lose it Growing old only to abuse this The ones you have The ones you lost For your misdeeds You pay the cost I've thought this through I trusted you Cool calm and collected Or overtaken by doubt There is no in-between There is no way out I refuse to die on a hill that I created I refuse to die I refuse to die

Not everyone gets to just blurt out how they feel every fuckin minute And it's not my job to make u feel like you're making the right decision What you and i have makes me free Why can't you leave it be It's not what these assholes know It's the love I show... how am i supposed to know... No it's not the first time But will it be the last I just wanted you to love me without me having to ask Well better luck next attempt I hope that it was time well spent Cause I've been staying at Ian's since you've been in the can I've been finding my own way to feel like a man Even tho it's something they can't stand I know we'll be together in the end (ah fuck it) No it's not the first time But will it be the last I just wanted you to love me without me having to ask No it's not the first time I've been the alter ego of some pretty boy I think you'll have to do better hunny I am not the least annoyed Oh my god It's coming again I don't think I can stop it this time

I would love to tank it Then find some way to just move on Yeah I would love to throw my life away then just get gone Like you've never seen me, like you never met me at all Don't wanna fit inside this box you want me in Even if it's for "the better" I will never stay complacent I'll keep pushing on the edges Till I find a way to escape it all together Brainbroken Hopped up on a fantasy Things we've believed since we were kids Mostly broken promises Lives spent fantasizing about a death wish It's not so good to hear you admit it The couple next door just found the cure for cancer So what did you do this weekend, just chase that feeling you're after? Breaking body and brain just to feel something Leaves me sore and pissed They can't keep getting away with this ...oh, but they will

I'm always trying to fix it with something else But maybe I don't have to fix myself After all this I am still just a square hole for a round peg After all this I am still known as the sensitive bitch who likes to complain I'm always trying to fix it by doing drugs You're always trying to fix it by acting tough You're always trying to fix it, can't you tell that maybe you don't have to fix yourself The Implication of altercation Convince myself I'll make it out alive But you won't I won't either We'll both die None the wiser But young And beautiful When you slip I'll be there waiting To point and laugh Yet another pill I swallow without reading the side effects Why can't I just live

Susceptible Imperceptible No, it's something else entirely I think it's something else entirely Rarely dependable Barely acceptable No, it's something else entirely No I fear it's something else You gotta believe me it's something else altogether that kinda shit that keeps you up at night It's not like anything I've never seen before A condition I truly cannot describe I never feel Not for myself or for anyone I never feel Gotta stop myself Before I've begun The soul crushing weight of my own mediocrity The judge and jury both have it out for me But I'm still guilty I'm still guilty, I'm still guilty, I'm still guilty I've never felt like this before Oh no, I've never felt like this before I've been scammed and I've been cheated I've been throw out and defeated But I've never felt like this before
