I'd love to stand firm in the ground
To pick up my feet and walk confidently
But my feet do not seem to work properly
Or maybe it's gravity that's broken
Ah wait, it's me
And I saw that coming

I see so much before it happens
But I'm so hopeful for a different outcome that I don't listen to my own instincts
A fool could hear a bus speeding toward them
I ( Read more... )

After so many bottles of this I'd love to call myself a champion
But instead I'm the fool who ingested too much
Who had to force back swallow after swallow as if it were a medicine incorrectly prescribed

But it was so good and even when it was bad, it was still pretty good
I am fooling no one of course. I didn't have to force myself until I became a ( Read more... )

You tell me that I've given you so much advice
And that I've helped you out so much
But I wonder why I can't do anything for myself

I've told you to take what you can get
And that the grass isn't always greener
And it's worked for you
But not me

I feel like I've done so much wrong
That I've let things pile so high against me
That I have to let it fall back ( Read more... )

Every little comment
Every little look and unsaid feeling creates something

I'm afraid it'll create something permanent
But things keep moving forward anyway
How can I stop everyone from moving on from me?
I can't

So maybe I should say what I want
Because right now all I care about is what I'll say wrong that will make everyone leave

Everyone will leave in ( Read more... )

You snuck around today and thought I didn't see
You even changed your conversation thinking it would throw me off
But it didn't

What the hell is so important about beer
Why do you sneak around like a teenager

Maybe if you got your life together you'd be able to do what you want
But you did do what you wanted
And now you're here

Yes, I completely forgot about myself
And so many other people who I've dedicated these to
I guess I forgot about continually living my life and having fun
Thats forgivable right?

Perhaps not.

I've decided that there are so many things I can convict myself of.
And not caring is among them.
One of the top offenders at least

And what gives me the courage ( Read more... )

There arent too many people around me who see things bigger than themselves
And I foolishly believe that I am the largest man on earth
Yet I cannot bring myself to step upon anyone
Because I am afraid of getting hurt

I continued to gossip about you
While you were watching me do so
I didn't care because you were supposed to forgive me

We haven't spoken in two years

Maybe you'd wanna stay if I invited you over
I'd struggle to say everything correctly and try to make you laugh
But from how things have been, I'd be the one laughing like an idiot

You're something I'd never want to slip through my fingers if I had the honor of holding you
And I'd always be wary of hands that smother
So I'd never know what to do

This ( Read more... )

I look for you like spare change in my pocket when the train is approaching and I have somewhere to be
I look for you the way every hallmark card I pick up says the wrong thing
I look for you they way millions of people look in the classifieds

I know you're there and you must not be for me
Otherwise you wouldn't be hiding
You'd cast your armor aside and ( Read more... )
