Killing Time

Gone forever, see you never
Hope that you remember I was here
Before the plane was heading south
And we were passing by the airport
In distress, inconvenient that we’re crossing in the air
I know I was never lucky but this isn’t fair
Maybe when
I get home
I’ll be hearing you again and I won’t be so alone
Now
You’re too late
‘Cause when I leave at sunrise the world won’t just stop and wait
For you
To come
I’m killing time but the time will never come around again
‘Cause soon I’ll be gone
Stupid letters, make it better
Maybe you’ll remember I was here
If the paper hurts your hands
And you take long enough to notice
It’s alright, it’s convenient if you want to clear the air
I was always kind of hoping that you really cared
Maybe when
I get home
I’ll be hearing you again and I won’t be so alone
Now
You’re too late
‘Cause when I leave at sunrise the world won’t just stop and wait
For you
To come
I’m killing time but the time will never come around again
‘Cause soon I’ll be gone

Two Is Too Much
03:01

Voices crawl through the ceiling cracks and scrape my door
I cannot stand the beating on my ears anymore
Nowhere’s safe when the walls are paper thin,
And I can’t concentrate on all of this
The TV is all the way up, but sounds keep creeping in
Two is too much
It’s still stuck in my pocket, darkness shields it all so well
Blissfully turning outward in my sugarcoated shell
Nowhere’s safe when you leave your cell phone on
And I can’t concentrate on all of this
It’s hard to keep this straight face plastered on so long
Two is too much
Worthless tears are falling from my bloodshot eyes
Half-said condemnations push between the broken cries
Nowhere’s safe if your words don’t mean a thing
And I can’t concentrate on all of this
I’m not having kids, it’s too damaging
Two is too much
Wake me, I’m to believe that everything’s okay
Shards of minutes ago are meant to fall away
Nowhere’s safe when you speak too soon
And I can’t concentrate on all of this
Leave me alone now, I don’t want you in my room
Two is too much
Two is too much
Two is too much
Two is too much

Weeks Are Long

Weeks are long
And days are long
And all along the nights are getting longer
Even though
I’d like to know
That time apart will only make us stronger
What’s a drive
That’s worth the ride
When I’m not sure if we could be much farther
But when you beg
Should I instead
Pretend that it’s alright, but now it’s harder
I want it all to be okay
But I know it’ll never be
I want it to be yesterday
So you’d still be with me
I’m still surprised
To realize
That you came all this way, and just to see me
But if I could
Believe it, I would
Understand what people aren’t but can be
In practice rooms
With classic tunes
That keep us closer when we aren’t together
But later when
You leave again
I wonder if you really made it better
I want it all to be okay
But I know it’ll never be
I want it to be yesterday
So you’d still be with me

Curl Up
02:50

I get you I think
It’s different this time
It’s hard to keep thinking
That you’ll still be mine
But I promise that now
Is the worst it will be
I just need to know
You’re still waiting for me
It’s not for much longer
And the end’s coming near
Just because I’m not with you
Doesn’t mean I’m not here
But the more you remind me
The more we digress
If only I knew
What would be for the best
And I know as of yet
That I have done nothing right
And all our sensibilities
Were never worth this fight
So I’ll curl up, and grow up
For now
I tell you I love you
But get no response
Except “you’re full of shit
You’ve been lying for months”
And there’s only so much
I can say and still mean
You can question me always
I’ll still come out clean
And I feel like I’ve done you
The worst of all wrongs
A big enough mess up
That merits a song
In the hopes that someday
You’ll hear me as true
That I’m far more than certain
I’m in love with you
And I know as of yet
That I have done nothing right
And all our sensibilities
Were never worth this fight
So I’ll curl up, and grow up
For now
