Fake Me

Lately I’m feeling crazy my legs been getting shaky
It’s like the fake me is trying to replace me
I think he hates he wants to push my daisies
but I relate to him better than I should
Sinking in his teeth till my shoulders bleed
but he lives rent free
When he gets too close and I can’t even breathe
he says he’ll never leave me
And all I know is
Lately I’m feeling crazy my legs been getting shaky
It’s like the fake me is trying to replace me
I think he hates he wants to push my daisies
but I relate to him better than I should
He laughs when I cry says it gets him high
when I’m really low
And when I’m alone with my mouth shut sewn
it’s his favorite show
Its true he only sticks around here just to
make me do every little thing to make me
lose my mind, he make’s me lose my mind
His shadow’s next to me
I see his face across the street
I never liked that sick-lit grin
It pierced my throat cause what’s mine in his
He even walks the same
Good thing I never really liked my face anyway

Good When I Lie

I’m still in my bedroom
Dark clouds and my tattoos
Not answering my phone
Cause no one’s real when I’m alone
Ahh
I say I’m alright
Ahh
I’m good when I lie
A magnet just pulling
My bones through all my skin
I did this to myself
But I swear I’m in good health
Ahh
I say I’m alright
Ahh
I’m good when I lie
Ahh
I really don’t mind
Ahh
As long as I lie
I’m through will feeling this
It’s like I don’t wanna care
I’m only doing this
So I don’t get scared

Scratch Off

Bet a couple hundred dollars he won’t last long
Said I’d never let him out unless he gave some
He’s got nothing to prove just some years left to lose
Just a scratch off ticket let him latch off as I have him say it out loud
“I do I want it. let me go back home”
I’m just laughing as he’s sitting with the lights on
Body boiling under a fluorescent hell zone
Wipe the smirk with a bruise a bunch of sluggers and booze
Will keep him uptight maybe if he acts right i’ll watch as he takes flight, say it out loud
“I do I want it. let me go back home”

Wanna Say

In the back of the shop
I’ve been talking a lot
Maybe you’ll over hear
Throw my lips in a lock
Maybe I should pretend
That I’m doing alright
So you won’t have to ask me
What do you mean,
“Is this what you wanna say?”
As you’re turning green,
Sorry, this is what I wanna say
I have not been so honest with myself
I lost some of my health
But I’m done hiding from who I know I am
So don’t ask me
What do you mean,
“Is this what you wanna say?”
As you’re turning green,
Sorry, this is what I wanna say
Come on and put the bag on
Come on and put the bag on me
No more holding my breathe
You know I gotta put it to rest
Nothing better get in my path
Nobody that will ask me
What do you mean,
“Is this what you wanna say?”
As you’re turning green,
Sorry, this is what I wanna say

Need Some
03:24

I think there may be a leak inside my head
If I can’t patch i’ll be stuck in my bed
Sinking in my own home
I could yell but I’m alone
I don’t even hear my own alarm clock shout
I tune it out with a blanket of self doubt
Drowning it’s up to my chin
I should’ve learned how to swim
I say I don’t really care
But that’s what I say when I’m scared
I know that I’m lying I’m dying to tell
Someone anyone that I need some help
There’s someone knocking but I can’t let them in
I’m stuck in hallways the stairs just never end
I locked my doors years ago
The keys in the floorboards oh no
I say I don’t really care
But that’s what I say when I’m scared
I know that I’m lying I’m dying to tell
Someone anyone that I need some help
I’m under a lake that I filled myself
A thousand mistakes it’s too late to tell
If i’ll make it out
Will I make it out
Will I make it out
Alive
I say I don’t really care
But that’s what I say when I’m scared
I know that I’m lying I’m dying to tell
Someone anyone that I need some help
