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

I Always Will
03:37
|

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

Talking in my Sleep
03:17
|

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
