I reached out to touch you but I
Wouldn’t dare
Instead i just sat right back
Wallowing in blissful despair
I didn’t know what I wanted
And that’s because I am real
But that’s just what I tell myself when
Don’t know how i feel
Nothing at all
As the sound of static it
Fills my ears
Deafening me against
The urge to be sincere
I’ve tried to open up my head
But turns out I’ve stripped the screw
Just another example of how i
fail to follow through
Nothing at all
Too broken to crawl

And all the words that you told me they never
Made any sense
So right now I think it’s time that we gave up
Our pretense
"And I never wanted to hurt you
I’m just ok with that result"
In your never ending quest for validation
I got caught up in your tumult

It’s a beautiful night for paving
And the men they’re out in force
Laying down thick asphalt sludge
Letting the deep black just take its course
The moon it shines upon the road
Reflects back it does not
For the highway runs
As black as sin
Workers eyes bloodshot
It’s a beautiful night for paving
humid air rests on their shoulders
Heavy like thick asphalt sludge
Or unending sisyphean boulders
People have to get to work tomorrow
Day in and day out
These people come
To fix the road
Night in and throughout
When the nighttime comes around
Out come these fine fellows
Bulldozer lives
Jackhammer cries
Adorned in orange yellow

You didn’t call me back
It’s the least you could do
You didn’t call me back
It’s the least you could do
Cause I spent all the time
And energy
Filling out your application
For a job scooping ice cream
It’d be nice to know
If i got the employment
The waiting kills me
Sucks out all enjoyment
Cause I spent all the time
And energy
Getting recommendations
For a job scooping ice cream
Cause it hurts sometimes
To not feel recognized
So kimballs fuck you
kimballs fuck you

DEFEND POP PUNK
Walking upstairs towards my room
Emanating from which was a rosy red gloom
I stepped in
And i opened the door
I saw death he was lying on his side on the floor
How do you get medical attention for that
As his vital signs fell flat
How do you get medical attention for that
So by his side i sat
Walked in slowly
As Death lay dying
On my bedroom floor he was slowly crying i said why
He said man i spent a lot of time dealing with this
Only once can you experience this kinda bliss
How do you get medical attention for that
As his vital signs went flat
How do you get medical attention for that
So by his side as i sat

One of those moments
I said i’d been there before
And so from the third story
I chose to walk out my door
Where i fell and i fell
I fell straight till i flew
Right into the ground and far away from you
Pin back my eyelids
Keep me wide awake
Swallow my ashes from this urn i cannot break
I’ve cleaned myself out
Ripped my skin off bled raw
Overlying regret
It remains through my call
My lips are sewn shut
But internally i’m grinning
Case my heads in a sea of clouds
And I don’t plan on swimming
Pin back my eyelids
Keep me wide awake
Swallow my ashes from this urn i cannot break
Pin back my eyelids
Keep me wide awake
Swallow my ashes from this urn i cannot break

Screeching bodies
Fall into trees
What you take from your mother
You get back in the knees
Emotions are complicated
Like larks tongues in aspic
I don’t want you
No I just want plastic
I try to see your light
But I just feel so confined
What makes the downfall of man
So fucking easy to find
Voices in my head
Voices outside
Struggling with
External displays of pride
Lens of my desires
Makes what I see drastic
So when I look at you
I just see plastic
I try to see your light
But I just feel so confined
What makes the downfall of man
So fucking easy to find
