I'm not who I want to be and thats okay. Being loved is something i'm not good at anyway. I let down everyone I care about. I've made my peace with always feeling empty. Empty is all I feel, I wish you was here to stop me when I'm drowning. Empty is all I feel, I wish you was here to stop me when I'm falling. Where do I see myself in five years? In the ground hopefully. All I want for you to be is happy, but thats not with me. Where do I see myself in five years? In the ground hopefully. All I want is for you to be happy. Empty is all I feel, I wish you was here to stop me when I'm drowning.

I just feel so insecure but I try not to show it. You should know you're the only reason i've held on so long. I'm not alright and thats just fine. I probably never will be, don't waste your time. I'm not alright and thats just fine. I probably never will be, don't waste your time. I don't think i'll ever get better, I don't know if i even want to. I always let myself down. I'm not alright and thats just fine. I probably never will be, don't waste your time. I'm not alright and thats just fine. I probably never will be, don't waste your time. I write stupid songs to try and express myself, in the form of a cry for help. All i want is for you to be there everyday but I know you probably won't be.

A darker kind of pain wraps its arms around me. I can not save you from yourself. The first time I saw you you split my mind in two. I never thought of me without you. All those times I said I loved you, I swear it was the truth. I can not save you. No matter how much I want to. I can not save you from yourself.

I feel so alone and my head gets darker with the setting sun. I don't care, as long as you're happy. I don't care. I'm full of insecurities, i'm riddled with self doubt. I don't see a reason why we should hang out. It's not that i don't like you, its that i really don't like me. I just want to be free. I don't care, as long as you're happy. I don't care. Wake up, go back to sleep, repeat this process till I feel complete. Wake up, go back to sleep, repeat this process till I feel complete.

I wish that I was deaf so I didn't have to hear all the stupid shit that fals from my mouth. I'm unimportant and I don't care, I walk around like life's unfair. I'm unimportant and I don't care, I won't see another year. I know that I fucked up and i'm sorry that you left, I guess i'm really that insignificant. I know that I fucked up and i'm sorry that you left, I guess I'm really that unimportant. (I wish that I was deaf so I didn't have to hear all the stupid shit that falls from my mouth. I'm unimportant and I don't care, I walk around like life's unfair. I'm unimportant and I don't care, I won't see another year.

Theres something very wrong with me, I try so hard to be happy. All my life i've been a disappointment, I can't sew myself shut again. I'm sorry that I let you down for so long, I promise I won't be around. Tell me what I can do to fix you. Tell me what I can do to fix us. Tell me what I can do to fix you. Tell me what I can do to fix us. Fix us.

It's a different kind of feeling, Hurtin' hearts need some healin'. I'm so sorry I ain't text you back. I never know how to react, when I am so alone. I'm not a ghost but I wish i was. 23 in debt, clinically depressed. I know i'm no good when I'm alone. Give me a reason, help me rid this feeling. I don't think of me as anything good. My life's going the way I always knew it would. If I could turn back time i'd do everything the same, You can't take the loser out of me. Constant emotion, always broken. Fuck.
9.
Throw myself off roofs. lose myself in you.
10.
Theres not a thing that I could do, I still have the same feelings for you. Nothings changed, I'm still the same waste of space that i've always been. I don't know, I've never had control. Is it possible to love someone when you hate yourself? Counting down the days til I die. Insignificant life, I am not alright. I can not believe you ever though I deserved to be in your life. 10 years and i'm still holding on. After all this time I can't believe you still care. 10 years. 10 years. 10 years. I'm still holding on.

about

This is a culmination of months of hard work. An EP, 2 splits and an album in one year took a lot out of us but we're pleased with the outcome. 10 songs that mean the world to us and hopefully they'll mean something to someone else too.
