I can't just sleep away my problems so I'll go and walk the path I know to lead to your house, there's nothing separating us but this wall. now I will stay, I'll watch for the night so you won't care what you do, just give me something more, now for all the work I've done you can't just leave me to die.

I'll stay awake, my body won't let me rest. I deserve this, because I haven't been alright. But I will change once I can. This world tilts me along, I try to grab at the grass, I just feign a dance so I won't stick out in the public's eye, I can't find myself and what makes you any different?
The sails on the boats go opposite to the wind, they fight and in earnest, man finds a way to take advantage. Don't fight here with your secret love.
My hair is shorter than it's ever been before this image of youth has been destroyed and my skin is brittle and pale in the blue light of the alarm clock flashing in the middle of the night. repurposed my emotions into what I want to do. No, what a mess you've gotten into.

I am the friend of a friend that you once had but don't go around me and ask her I wouldn't let you bother her, stay here don't doubt me in how I just appear whenever you draw red against your arms and then cover up the art you've made. Truth is only true if you like it you can pick it up and then mold it, make it what you want to see, and I am the friend of a friend that you once had she'd tell stories of you and I'd listen, she'd speak with a smile and then nod to every word.
The gentle breeze blows your hair across your face, over your eyes, closed and darkened. My head bows down to yours on the crest of this hill, your eyes stay closed your chin tilts up.
Save me I am alone again on the streets of this city on the block where we met, hurt me and then hurt yourself it's justified I laugh thinking of it. Save me I'm up to my neck again now this world is rising up I won't last long, Hurt me if it makes you feel alright, you're no better than I am.
I am the friend of a friend that you don't have but when you did you were selfish you pushed her away and I know that you felt happy beside her but I won't let you bother the connection that we felt. She's not your friend anymore.
hey, you could just walk away or try and make reparations and be the better person and be the bigger person, she's not your friend anymore. (If you want it, get it)
Save me like it's something you want to do and i will be just the best, sick me like you always wanted to. Save me.
Hold me up, hold me up like you do. Drown, drown.
