crush 01:19
crush it til you’re chillin in a casket qt moody judy fallin into despair, can’t control anything, not even my hair, try to keep it positive, but nobody cares, wonder if my future will ever be there. sick of leavin work for these panic attacks, wondering if i’ll ever hear my vocals on wax i should call it quits and just try to relax but i literally don’t know how to stop writing tracks plus it’s my outlet, so i guess i’m gonna have to keep pushin and crush i feel crazy when i’m beefin with my best friend and when i worry about my ex-girlfriend sometimes i swear my life is in a whirlwind, and though i spiral, i will never stop crushing shit.

am i in love, or am i just bored? i think you’re takin it too far, but i won’t let you i barely even know who you are, and whatcha know about me? i stayed up all night thinking about this i want what i want and who i want all the time i want it all i felt your breath on the back of my neck in the back of my car, and i enjoyed it, every last second. i heard you finally got that ring, well congratulations i hope you’re happy i stayed up all night thinking about it one man’s trash is another man’s girlfriend. one man’s trash was right all along.

black sheep 03:27
i’m trying to quit, but all i want are cigarettes and coffee, or cigarettes and whiskey. my mother says i’ll end up like my grandfather, but he seems happy. i wish we talked more. i wish i felt the way i feel about my friends with my family but it never feels right. i wish it felt alright i wish i felt alright. i’m trying to quit, but all i want is to buy new clothes and whiskey or old clothes and cheap wine my niece thinks i don’t want to get to know her that makes me feel crummy i wish we had more in common.

this bed feels like a casket and this house feels like a mausoleum and i don’t know, but i’ve been told that you’ve never tried if you’ve never left home i’ve got friends in california i’ve got friends in new orleans i’ve got friends in new york city, but i don’t know what that all means i ain’t got no fucking money i ain’t got no future here i don’t hate south carolina, but i refuse to die here.

okay, cupid 02:51
all my friends wanna fuck my friends but their friends don’t know i exist all my friends over thirty are all divorced almost makes me never wanna get married but i don’t know. i’m so good at beating myself up i’m so good at beating myself i have a crush on every girl but i’m not sure how to commit to just one and i don’t know what’s going on with me, with all my goddamn insecurity, and why does nothing new seem new to me? and why can’t i sing fucking beautifully?
7.
i don’t wanna fight with my mom anymore i don’t wanna ask for my money anymore i don’t wanna wait for my time. i don’t wanna cheat on my girl anymore i don’t wanna wait around on school anymore i don’t wanna give up on my future. we’ll never grow up honesty honestly honesty is the best policy, honestly.

sad sack 03:19
there’s a lot that’s changing and i don’t think i like it but, god, i hope i’ll figure it out i don’t wanna be alone here but i don’t wanna leave yet i just need a year, and then i think i’ll get out of town. let’s get it together no one wants to hear me whine and i know i’m disappointing all my friends, my mom, and my dad i don’t wanna make this a race, but everyone’s beating me, and it sucks playing catch up, but i think i’m all out of gas. at the risk of sounding like a teenager again, i feel like no one understands me i don’t wanna seem like a sad sack, but i don’t know how to relax medication feels like such a fucking cop out, but that’s all i can think about all i wanna do is get it together.
9.
can't wait 03:01
i can’t wait for the day that i become an alcoholic i can’t wait until i have something to blame my depression on i don’t wanna be so down but, god, i feel like i could use some help here i can’t wait until girls stop telling me that i’m perfect i can’t wait until i have my dream job so i don’t feel like the last six years were worthless i don’t wanna be so down but i don’t know how to ask for help when i need it.

die alone 03:44
i miss being the person that people relied on, and i miss holding the shoulder that my friends cried on. and here i am. a speck on this earth. just the same as i began. and i’m not pining, i just feel like i won’t be here for much longer i don’t wanna die alone. call me bitter call me rude sorry i just get sad and lonely sometimes you don’t wanna see me shirtless you don’t wanna be with me, but you should at least i think so because i don’t wanna die alone.
