Fix your teeth before you put your shirt on
Fix your shirt before you drive to school
Fill the gas up at the station
Turn around and say
"I think you deserve better,
wasted opportunities lead your head right to the gutter
I am very sorry
Hope i'm not intruding you
I just believe there's more to you
than this life"
Fix your hair and pull out of the alley
Fix your mirror to look into your eyes
Listen closely to your heartbeat
Will it go away?
I think I deserve better,
wasted opportunities lead my head right to the gutter
Everybody's sorry
Hope i'm not thinking too deep
I just believe there's more to me
than this life
In between the pages,
I don't know what happens there
Why am I confused at nothing?
Pick a different shirt to wear
A different shade of lipstick on my face
I guess the contemplation was a waste
'Cause nothing's ever changed
I'm holding on for a limited time
like a toy, suck the joy out of my eyes
Do you think you're getting better?
Or have you delayed it getting worse?

I couldn't be more sure
I paint my face indoors
I shut the blinds before
anyone notices, I swear i'm being a good boy
I'll get a haircut if it means I don't have to play it coy
I cross my legs and buckle in
just to sit in silence with no eyes trained on my neck
the boys wear red
just desiring what i'm made of
well, i don't think you want a girl like me
An unattainable girl
I've crossed this line before
my body makes me sore
It's feeling like a chore
Give me a shot of whatever makes me a good girl
If I live in this skin anymore, I don't know what I'd live for

You were one year older than me
and I was seventeen
and when I heard the news I barely felt a single thing
You were the best of us
Moved onto better things
and when I heard the news I couldn't help but try to sing
the words that made me think of you,
your generosity,
your acts of kindness when the world was starting to look bleak
I never felt this way before
the closing of a door
I'd written about death but never saw it this close to the shore
Is that your voice or am I restless?
Is that your hand? I swear I felt it
I said I missed you and I meant it
I see your smile and I start melting
I barely had a life
lost you when I was five
and when I heard the news it merely just escaped my mind
the thought of what comes after this
and if you still exist
I was too young to think about it, saw your casket and
I kissed your forehead while you slept
I hadn't known you yet
but in the retrospect I would've held you closer to your chest

Laura Jane

It was Friday night
everybody left the party
and I had never felt more alone before
but that's something you get used to
I just sat in silence
for a couple hours
with no music to get me through the night, I felt
like the hospital felt more like home
Heard a harsh refrain
from Laura Jane
it felt like she knew who I was
and I had never felt bolder
before that night
It made perfect sense to me now
I wasn't supposed to feel this way, I was
not in tune with myself, I realize
I hope you understand
I've learned to live
in this skin
take my problems
and deal with them
I'm unafraid
like Laura Jane
she taught me everything I know
No more hurting
or holding back
I'll be more honest
I'll follow the path that makes me
feel the most alive and in my skin
Laura Jane, you taught me everything I know.

The World is Unread

The world is unread
like a postcard you never mailed in
'cause you don't want to
you're grinding your teeth
'cause it's the fifth time this week
a sixth time wouldn't hurt
except it'd destroy you
'cause you never know
The world is unread
We've all got claws in our backs
and nobody's okay
The world is unread
like the text you sent that says what he did
You feel so vulnerable
and brought down to your knees
'cause it's the first time he's hurt you
another time wouldn't hurt, would it?
except it'd destroy you
'cause nobody knows
The world is unread
we've barely scratched the surface
every time we've learned something
we've ignored twenty more
are our eyes in our sockets?
are we barely conscious?
he's won and you've lost it
while he laughs in the Office
The world is unread
like her story's always been
is it her fault again?
Do you teach your children?
when a calendar's a defense
and you pay off your secrets
and party with all your demons
Would you believe your daughter?
