Everything's coming up roses I'mma split this motherfucker open like Moses, yeah I'm chosen It was written in the stars that I'm fly as the wings of a locust Y'all know this 'Cause I was on another fucking planet when I wrote this, yeah I'm focused I'mma put you other indie bitches on notice Catch me selling out a theater like my name is Frozen I make every damn song with my own promotion Only 5% unlocked like the depths of the ocean I'm growing All you other bitches ACT 'cause you're trying to test me I'll be swinging from the vines like I'm trying to get free I'll be taking all my time getting to the ending Yeah, bitch, I'm trending, what Let's go Everything's coming up Everything's coming up Everything's coming up Everything's coming up Everything's coming up roses I'm hoping Everything's coming up roses It's hopeless Everything's coming up roses I'm broken Everything's coming up roses You know this

After Today 03:17
So high again I'd love to say you were my closest friend I haven't seen you since the summertime But now it's winter The sky tonight Shades itself a melancholy white I think I saw you from my room last night But now you're different So let me stay here by myself Cause loving you is bad for my health And if I could go on my way You'd never hear from me after today It's ominous How much I'm scared of losing this I'm fucking over you I swear it's true Do you believe me You seem to be the clouds above me It's so rainy If I called you would you answer back I don't think you'd see So let me stay here by myself Cause loving you is bad for my health And if I could go on my way You'd never hear my voice after today But now you'll hear my songs on the radio

You said you loved me In that dream I had I thought you'd hold me When the dust was on the ground I guess I didn't Really fight for you But now I'm staring In the rearview It doesn't make sense (It doesn't make sense) I should have said this to you when I had the chance But I love you And I always have I always will From the front seat We played Jeff Rosenstock But I couldn't name a single song I really should've listened while you sang along It's a long way home (It's a long way home) But I best be getting back before it gets too cold You said you loved me And then the Earth began to quake And when the roof began to cave You just turned and walked away Further from me And then I woke up With excess wrinkles on my face Fading further from the day When you loved me I always will I always will I always will

She said I just can’t see you tonight or at any point moving forward I’ve made up my mind it’s time to work on myself I always got the impression you leaned on me Although I never considered leaning on you She said I just can’t see you tonight or at any point moving forward I’ve made up my mind it’s time to figure this out I always got the impression you leaned on me Although I never considered leaning on you She couldn’t see me last night or at any point moving forward She’s made up her mind no matter how I feel I never really expected to write about us But here I am again Leaning on you Leaning on you Every time the sun sets slowly upon the sea I tend to tell myself to dream a little dream of you and me And if I’m happy then you’re there and if I’m sad then you’re away Like an absent father, I’m just a bother I’m just another guy that you could have That’s a fact and I knew we wouldn’t last But I was young and in love That’s the kind of thing you do You can move, you can hold and consume You can be the sly shadow set staring from the cold city streets Or the vague silhouette that lingers in my dreams Or the highway rubble infiltrating my TV Or the endless shadow seen stretched across the moon If I turn into a cloud could I be closer to you Leaning on you

Well Kairi left and my hair’s a mess I don’t know why I try or what I expect My life’s a wreck running on the track in reverse You can’t leave town if you’re stuck backwards The look in your eyes got me risen from the grave I could move both heaven and earth but you’d complain And we know ‘round here that it stays the same While the rain comes down let’s waste away Let’s waste away Let’s waste away Please just help me get out of this world that doesn’t want me here I would wait all day long just to sing you one of my new songs Our hometown sucks like ass, I don’t know where we are going to Need you now, please come back before I lose my way (whisper: Everything you did, everything you said to me was a lie Now I'm losing my mind, I don't know if I'll ever be fine I'm losing it All the things we did All the places that we used to go Now I'll never go back If I told you a story do you promise that you woulldn't get mad So now I'm standing here within a desert all alone Without any water food or shelter to call my own And you are the sun because your light is what seems to hurt me In the worst way And now I'm alone so I think I'm at home When you told me That you had to go to a new world before it's too late) Please just help me get out of this town that doesn’t want me here I would wait just for you, read a book while you get more tattoos My hometown sucks like ass, I don’t know what I am gonna do ‘Fore I go I just want to let you know that I loved you I still do Do you too?

(Stadium status) Sometimes I think of where I’d like to be When I’m awake at night with nobody with me And when it all comes crashing to the streets Before finality will I be happy Will you? Will you? I hope that I can figure out my life Nostalgia is on my mind almost all of the time One summer I spent partying with friends I came out of my shell Now I don’t talk to them Or you Grey skies take the pressure from me I still feel overwhelmed Rain clouds take the cover for me While I fold into myself I don’t want to try to feel some way Try to feel some way about me now I don’t want to try to feel some way Try to feel some way, yeah, ay I’ve been coasting through my life This facade I hide behind I don’t want to work more closing hours bitch I want to thrive I’m alive that’s enough and I might hold you up To a standard that I can’t even promise to hold myself to Damn Precipitating down Who I think you think I am I stay up imitating now Couldn’t get away from a sunny day they said let’s go and beach it down Live in the moment the more I think about it trying too hard to keep on reaching it now Clouds come in and stop seeking it now If I said you were right all the time Would want to come inside Spend the night We could vibe You were looking like the light of my life for a time Now you’re looking like a light that I broke and left behind I’m inclined to rewind Don’t know why I even try I just thought that you could be a good influence on my life But I still wonder why It was I you threw aside That’s been heavy on my conscience Weighing on my mind Grey skies take the pressure from me I still feel overwhelmed Rain clouds take the cover for me While I fold into myself I don’t want to try to feel some way Try to feel some way about me now I don’t want to try to feel some way Try to feel some way, yeah

It’s Monday It’s 1:15 AM Somehow I’m out all night again God damn I should probably go to bed But I don’t want to leave this place ‘cause I’ve been talking in my sleep I’ve been talking in my sleep I’ve been talking in my sleep I’ve been talking in my sleep Tell me that you want to get down with me We can go to the store buy groceries I’mma hold you down like gravity Doorstep with a sign love actually like Did you know that it’s true I really think it’s time I should be with you But I don’t think that you want me to Normally I’d stay in my bedroom but I’ve been having these dreams like Every night it seems and I don’t know what they mean no I don’t know what they mean so I stay up all alone Got to tell myself to put down my phone I close my eyes, I feel so cold Like you’re customer service and I’m on hold Yeah I’ve been talking in my sleep I’ve been talking in my sleep I’ve been talking in my sleep I’ve been talking in my sleep I’ve been talking in my sleep And you’d be too if you could see what I have seen I’ve been narrating my dreams But when I wake I can’t recall a single scene (yeah) I’ve been talking in my sleep You would be too if you could see what I have seen I’m about to go get my degree In talking in my sleep

I’ve been harboring resentment so long that it feels like a part of me Been repressing that shit so strong but you’re still swearing apathy I think it’s getting time to move on, almost time to let it be Our love is long gone this is my swan song But I must let you know that you’re heavenly Guess who made it out of their old hometown Not me motherfucker I can barely go ‘round Without feeling like my peers keep passing me by They’re moving out while I’m still stuck staying inside I don’t mind ‘cause I write about my life Reflecting on my past readily I realize That I’ve got a lot to say about you You know it’s true Yes I’ve got a lot to say about you Do you too You could come through (through) We could fly to the moon Maybe Jupiter too I just think that you’re cool But we’re never going back to the way we used to be Now I’m yelling from afar that you are and will always be heavenly Not fade away Love, lockdown, heartbreaks, 808s Freight train bones carry me to foreign place Couple stops on the way so I’m sorry for the wait Impartial to his fate Carpal tunnel gates A lot of cats are LARPing through the narratives that they create Who’s to blame So conditioned television kisses You love Lucy but you hate the way she cleans the dishes She reciprocates but every day’s a competition Somber silence sitting by the fire as it eats the bridges And the fridge near empty The grass on the other side is always tempting The metal in the bedspring erodes to a dust No sleep ‘til the earth spontaneous combusts I’ve been harboring resentment so long that it feels like a part of me Been repressing that shit so strong but you’re still swearing apathy I think it’s getting time to move on, almost time to let it be Our love is long gone this is my swan song But I must let you know that you’re heavenly

This World 05:39
Meet me halfway Across the sea So I can be anywhere Amidst the ocean Will no one notice Any commotion This world Wasn’t meant for me So I should go and be alone This world Isn’t big enough for both of us to share So goodbye This world is tough Without your love So I’ll walk to the edge And I’ll fall This world is not meant for despair That’s why I stay so unaware Of how you hypnotized me I’ll tell you like a story in this song Don’t want you back So goodbye This world is too damn small For both of us So let’s walk to the edge And let’s fall Woah This world is not enough For both of us So let’s fall from the edge Don’t look down

I can’t lie this shit is complicated Thought I illuminated from the dark but still negated The greatest always hated that’s why I trip when I’m loved My hands heavy from how long I’ve been holding a grudge The light I want to see ain’t shining on hoes at the club And how I’m tryna feel is more than a cop from the plug Got it out the mud, don’t be tracking that shit on the rug And don’t be saying that it’s love if it’s not what it was Real southern-bred loudmouth with a hard head Give a fuck what y’all said Best friends all day Came up from penny pinching They hate but I never listen Been dying to make a living Before someone end up killing The man that be on a mission No time for a wrong decision I’m out here trippin but I’m not giving up I still give it everything I got to give just because It’s crazy all the hate I get when all I’m giving is love (Love I’m in love I’m in love I’m in love I’m in love I’m in love I’m in love I’m in love) ‘Cause I’m in love With the thought of you But in real life I don’t think that’s true So here I am With the sky so blue No clouds in sight Except for you I’m getting acclimated to the cold weather Yo I guess I should’ve known better That’s me flow setter yo Imma go getter ‘Cause I need that job so I don’t go broke and my heart don’t stop And the clock tick tocks quite a lot most nights Not much time ‘till the lights get dimmer I think that I’mma hire me an hourglass spinner That’ll do their job when the sand gets thinner You made me feel like I could fly But now I always stay inside Somehow I’d like to press rewind To see the sun set from the sky With you (I’m with you I’m with you I’m with you I’m with you I’m with you I’m with you I’m with you) I’m with you When I’m in my mind But in real life I don’t think that’s right ‘Cause you watch me (‘cause I watch you) Idealize I bet you laugh (and so I laugh) From oh so high The earth is drawn on a paper sky So all I see you occupy And here I stay Away from you But you’re near me Through all I do
