Burning Down

i made it out
whatever convince me this time to leave my house
must've been much better than lying around
somehow
i'm fine now
but i'm about to say something stupid then freak out
while trying to stay calm
i'm burning down, burning down, burning down
i'm awake but i'm not here
i can't keep all my thoughts clear
or keep them straight
all aligned
all my sentences don't turn out right
don't turn out right
and i hate taking my clothes off 'cause i hate what i look like naked
i wonder what i can do to fix this body that i've wasted
i should run just like my brother does
or just like all my cousins but
i'll never be the person i'm supposed to be
because i spend all of my free time in my basement
smoking weed
i'm awake but i'm not here
i can't keep all my thoughts clear
or keep them straight
all aligned
all my sentences don't turn out right
don't turn out right
i'm awake but i don't feel
like i'm still fully real
my brain is shot
my mind detached
i disconnect to watch my world collapse
world collapse

Plan Ahead

i've been trying out looks since the moment you left
so when you come back inside i'll know how to react
to any news that might come to you.
and i'll plan for the worst because i can't think of the best
so my words will start strong but i'll mumble the rest
and then i'll just stutter through a nevermind
oh i wish i hadn't said this to you
If i made you uneasy would you tell me the truth
or would you tell someone else instead?
so if you hear me say sorry then don't ask for what
i'll just say "i don't know" it's just the way that you looked
that made me worried about the things i do
and now i'm wincing at words that i say in my head
and i'm begging to stop me from wishing i was dead
but i don't listen
i doubt i even could
oh i wish i could've said this all to you
but you'd be happier not knowing what i wish you knew
and i'm a huge burden either way.

Water We

you're good at controlling
you're good at getting compliments
and you're good at talking
to people you've never met
you're good at making friends
and losing all your old ones
and you're good at teaching
or maybe I'm just good at learning
but you ruined my birthday
but you made it up the next year
'cause you lost your boyfriend
and I lost my curfew that month
on the fourth of July
you probably don't remember
you asked what are we and then we were done
what are we and then you said that we're done
and you're good at lying
you're good at never being honest
and you're good at smiling
you're good at looking up and laughing
you're good at first impressions
you're good at liking everything
and you're good at changing
and when you're done I'm still the same
but you ruined my birthday
but you made it up the next year
'cause you lost your boyfriend
and I lost my curfew that month
on the fourth of July
you probably don't remember
you asked what are we and then we were done
what are we and then you said that we're done
you asked what are we and then we were done
what are we and then you said that we're done
