drooling on the pavement i
cross the asphalt of your mind's eye
as i expire
my final words
i love you darling
though my name you've never heard

hopeless romantic
01:28
|
|||
|
wouldn't you just love it if i,
introduced myself and told you how think about throwing myself out of windows all the time
wouldn't it be flirtatious if i,
bought you a drink and told you how I hate myself but I tell my family, friends that I'm fine
and they say that romance is dead,
but i can prove em wrong,
just look at all the meaningful
relationships I've formed with this song
wouldn't it turn you on if i,
laid you down on the bed and told you how I'm being torn apart by my own anxiety
wouldn't it be romantic if i,
asked you out for coffee and explained to you how my brains messed up and its own worst enemy
and they say that romance is dead,
but i can prove em wrong,
just look at all the meaningful
relationships I've formed with this song
so now that you know that I lay awake sleepless most nights
so now that you know that I can't make up my mind without internal fight
so now that you know that I think I'm both a piece of shit and a white knight
so now that you've been introduced to the fucking mess of my life
will you be my wife?

one shot for a
girl I know
two shots for the
status quo
three shots and I'm
saying a prayer
to a god that I don't
even believe is there
i don't know what i'll do
if i can't find out, what happens to you
when a hearts stops
and a flatline turns up to eleven
do all dogs go to heaven?
so i got drunk on easter morning
i tried to find jesus in my vomit
but nothing was there
the bathroom wall had no blessing on it
i'm still wandering
but i would rather not talk much about it
and one month later
i finally wrote a good song about it
four shots for my
adulthood fears
five shots for my
failure to talk to my peers
six shots and I'm
thinking about
how my life will be nothing but worry and doubt
i don't know what i'll do
if i can't find out, what happens to you
when a hearts stops
and a flatline turns up to eleven
do all dogs go to heaven?
so i got drunk on easter morning
i tried to find jesus in my vomit
but nothing was there
the bathroom wall had no blessing on it
i'm still wandering
but i would rather not talk much about it
and one month later
i finally wrote a good song about it

sorry
03:41
|

i'm sorry
that i couldn't be good enough
that i couldn't be wise or tough
i'm sorry
i'm sorry
that i just lost track of thoughts
and i'm sorry
that I just lost touch
with you
your thoughts
and your dreams
with you
your opinions
and your wounds
and I'm sorry
that I don't know who I am
if I seem too arrogant
i'm sorry
i'm sorry
if I hate everyone
and I'm sorry
that I'm uncomfortable
with you
your thoughts
and your dreams
with you
your opinions
and your wounds
and oh,
i'm sorry
eddie James
i'm sorry
eddie James
i just want to apologize
and I hope that someday you find yourself true

well i've been here before
and i'll be here again
always lost in my head
a mindless night is drifting
well i got shit to do that's pressing
like making good first impressions
instead i'm sitting here confessing
through my stupid artistic expression
writing songs about depression
roll out of the bed
next morning in a daze
spent too much time last night
getting lost in the personal haze
checking my phone
see where i went wrong
i see what i wrote
and i move on to a new song
well i got shit to do that's pressing
like float through the day's various missions
droning on with no inhibition
so it's time for some self expression
writing songs about depression

tell us what lies beyond the sun

god is dead and so am i
"do not let the floodwaters engulf me, or the depths swallow me up, or the pit close its mouth over me, answer me, lord, out of the goodness of your love; in your great mercy turn to me. do not hide your face from your servant; answer me quickly, for i am in trouble." psalms 69:15-17

step into my home
leave your shoes at the door
i want you to kill me
i want you to kill me
step into this room
i'll sit in my chair
you pick up the gun
you pick up the gun
look me in the eye
i'll smile and nod
pull the trigger softly
pull the trigger softly
it's over now
the end is pure
the shards of glass
a broken mirror
