Inferiority Complex

He shakes in his sleep
And I wonder if there are earthquakes in his dreams but
That might just be me
Cause I'm filled to the brim with odd
Anxieties and
My bones aren't too old
But I could swear they're growing cold
My thought aren't too bold
They resemble all that I've been told
Small town with few streets
And I wonder if I will ever be free
Secrets you can keep
For a girl who's too stressed to ever
Find some peace and
This body's pretty young
But I thought it would be much more fun
These notes have been sung
Though I wish I was the only one
There's always gonna be
Someone much better than me
But as of lately
I've been pretty upset about it
But it's pretty difficult
When you expected more of yourself
When you were fourteen and insecure
I've got a bit of an
Inferiority complex
And I will always feel let down
My friends all have gone
Across seas and discovered something I have not
And I fear I am stuck
And that surely I'll sit in this same state and rot
I've got plenty of time
But to me that still sounds like a lie
I'm sure it'll be fine
But if you ask me I won't know why

50's Song (Waking Up)
02:52
|
|||
|
Woke up late and spent a little too much time in my head
Had this dream again
Where every single one I knew was dead
And my body feels heavy my mind's in a daze
Trying to figure out if I'm even awake
There's and obvious difference between these two worlds
But I'm still apprehensive
What kind of world have I been tossed into
What kind of world and what am I to do
I hope you know I'm not that cool
Not you imply you thought I was cool
But just to clear things up
I kinda suck
It's not that I'm unloved
I'm just overanalyzing
The fact that I'm alive and
Wishing I could give so much
So much more to this world
World
World
World
World

Growth

Love's got me
Love's got me down
Love's got me
Love's got me down
Cause your words are like water and in them I'm drowning
Because you always know what to say
But these seeds have been planted in my gut
They're bursting with life cause they thrive off your waves
So bring down your floodgate before it is too late
Because my limbs are teeming with growth
And I hope that you know that despite all this greenery
It was you I loved the most
Cause I'm budding and blooming and bearing the fruit
Of apologies rotting from you
And I'm sprouting up tales of the girl you were with
And it's pushing up more of my roots
If you try to make contact I probably won't notice
Can't feel through the moss on my skin
And don't even try to move branches aside
Leave me out in you garden
Love's got me
Love's got me down
Love's got me
Love's got me down

My insecurities have grown
And I don't wanna be alone most of the time
I'd rather be somewhere not thinking about
What I'm doing with my life
And I feel like a fraud in my own craft
I'd be clueless on my own
Thank you so much dad
And I heard you on the phone
Talking over over what went wrong
It probably has something to do with the fact that
I'm not very strong
And I feel rather lost in my chosen path
I am clueless after all
And it makes me sad
Cause I'm wide-eyed and ready to cry
I've got so many things on my mind
And it's making me sick
Goodbye I'm saying goodnight
I think this time I'm doing it right
And there's no one that I miss
And so you thought it over
And you think better sober
But tell me do you love her
Yes tell me do you love her
Please tell me do you love her
I'm begging do you love her
Please tell me do you love her
Please tell me do you love her
Please tell me do you love her (x4)
So I'll use the same three chords
Until I run out of patterns
To make you think that I know
What the hell I'm doing
Because I don't
So I'll sing songs about some things
That don't really matter
While I stumble across the strings
With my clumsy fingers

Suicide Sucks
03:54
|
|||
|
Since I'm in mourning
I won't call you till the morning
My cousins are killing themselves
Faster than my mother can stop crying
And suicide is no longer a surprise
But an expectation
And my family dies
Far too quick for any kind of explanation
And I'm sure there were warning signs
But thing's like this don't happen in real life
And there's no way they happen twice
I'm not so sure this is real life
And I'm sorry it got this bad
I hope you know you made us all so sad
And survivors guilt is
Making us go mad
Why'd you do it, why'd you do it, why'd you do it
Why'd you do it, why'd you do it, why'd you do it
Why'd you do it, why'd you do it, why you do it
Why'd you do it, why'd you do it, why'd you do it
Was it really all that bad
That you couldn't stick around
Was it really all that bad
And did we all let you down
Well I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry
I couldn't help you out
I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry
Suicide sucks
And honestly I'm mad at the both of us
Suicide sucks
And I'm criticizing everything I've done
