I don't want to live my life
reading lyrics out of my notebook
I just want to write something
that means something to someone
The truth is that I fucking miss you
and I wish I could talk to you
about politics and the stupid shit
that we used to do
just me and you
I bet you didn't know that there's a crack in my phone
and I deleted all your texts so I could feel more alone
but everything won't fix itself and I don't think I wanna be helped
and I wish I could say that you're the reason that I hate myself
I'd say it every day
But we both know that that's not true
and even if it was, I could never forget about you
I just hope that you won't forget about me
Do you remember the night that you were in my bed
and those words left your lips that you wish you never said
you had never been so open and maybe just for a moment
it was like the two of us we had never even been that broken
But we both know that that's not true
and even if it was, I could never forget about you
I just hope that you won't forget about me

I smashed my alarm
'cause I am never asleep
my eyes are closed
and my body is weak
I’m so sick of my life
where I don’t keep in touch
with the people I swore
that I had once loved
I can see you
when I open my eyes
watching me sleep
from my bedside
your face begins
to distort and twist
oh, this isn’t the way
that I want to live
So I get up
I walk down the hall
you follow close behind
maybe I’m dead after all
so I man up
I walk out the hall
the air feels colder
than it did before
and I passed the bench
where we used to sit
if there’s a god above
I’m not ready for this
if there’s a god above
I’m not ready for this
so I kept on walking idly by
my thoughts got dark
along with the sky
a drizzle became a heavy rain
I shout at the clouds
“Oh c’mon, why?”
And I take my time
getting back inside
I know as soon as I do
you’ll make me wanna die
That was the day
I was saved by rock n roll
I picked up my guitar
and let punk take my soul
That was the day
I picked up my guitar
I was saved by rock n roll
and that was the dayyyy
I picked up my guitar
and let punk take my soul

she wasn’t ever nice
cheated on me twice
didn’t know the pain that she caused me
now I’m all alone
wishing it went right
but I know it now she wasn’t worth it
can somebody help
I’m reaching out my hand
will you come and take it? I know she won’t
she’s a selfish bitch
done with all this shit
don’t need to put up with all of her problems
now I’m my own man
find some fucking friends
friends who know that I’m not fucking useless
Now I’ve got these kids
help me day by day
now all she is, is just a memory
yeah just a memory

Are we hanging out tonight
'cause this day last year, you promised me
are we hanging out tonight
you won’t answer my texts, why are you doing this to me
It was the day before Halloween
we were running down cold dark streets
pumpkin guts and headlights
yeah baby, you and me
shooting stars and hookah pens
wishing the night would never end
you promised me this day next year
but what if we’re not friends
Are we hanging out tonight?
We were laying down on blankets by the stream
half living my life, half living a dream
I said some things aren’t pretty as they seem
you sucked in flavored air and looked back at me
you asked “is that a reference or a self reflection?”
I don’t know, it could go either direction
are we hanging out tonight?
I’m sitting in my room, in my costume
staring at the ceiling in the bed we used to
sit in listening to deja entendu
but I can’t breath and you don’t want me to
did you find someone else, or are you
sitting at home
are we hanging out tonight

Nuns With Chainsaws

Walking down the street when I happened to meet
Nuns with chainsaws
There was sister Ann and sister Marie
Hacking a path while they hunt for me
Caught up to me and they cut off my feet
Blood sucking fiends that kill and party
I hope they don't kill Paul McCartney
Nuns With Chainsaws
Burning down the town with blood and fire
Killing all the kids is their desire
Revving up their saws while you're in sight
Causing a commotion and a lot of fright
Lucky to get away with just a scrape
Everyone's running but they can't escape
Nuns With Chainsaws

You probably don’t know or care
how alone you make me feel
I can’t believe
I let you infect the place that I sleep
and now I can’t get you
out of my dreams
so I keep writing these songs
saying how sad I am
and you are the reason
I stopped making any plans
It’s been over a year get out of my head
it belongs to me at least that’s what they said
I know this line’s gonna scare my dad
but you make me wish I was dead
I like being alone I like my bed
I like the idea of the things we never said
I like late night tea I like candles with nice scents
I like the day you slept in my bed
but that was the past and time took that away
and now I regret every minute I’m awake
I don’t like my life I don’t wanna fight
I wanna give up, accept defeat
It’s been over a year get out of my head
it belongs to me at least that’s what they said
I know this line’s gonna scare my dad
but you make me wish I was dead

Ambient Lights

When you see me I will be gone
Just a shell of who I once was
Cause I said my love will not fail
But you're not the one I once loved
And my life is all over now
You're the one who is left to blame
Ambient lights are all over town
In this lake is where i will drown
Do you see how much i miss you
Do you see the sky is not blue
Cause the clouds all blocked out the sun
When you told me I'm not the one
Took a week till i didn't look
At our initials carved in that tree
Ambient light now fills these woods
At this place where we once stood
