Internal fixation on your
External invasion
I'm all alone
It's not my home
Waiting on another day
To finish what I started
All those years ago
I thought I'd grown
Hang ten on this wave of panic
Some folks would call it romantic
Hoping I can seem sincere
Behind all of this plastic
And the hanging loose of all my friends
Helps the panic to set in
I feel all alone
Surrounded by the alerts on my phone
And all my songs sound like a shitty band from 2009
I am sorry Sloan
I thought I'd grown
Making music for my adolescent self to fall in love with
I'm behind our times
But I'm trying
I'm trying my best
But I can't rest till I'm satisfied
So I get dressed kinda
And try to find a way to keep it up
Treat myself like I'm enough
Fight the urge to drop my classes
Spend my extra time in practice
Get diagnosed
With what I'm predisposed
Never leave my house again
And feel the fear kick in
And I can see the stories now
It's funny how
I'm trying my best
But I can't rest till I'm satisfied
So I get dressed kinda
And try to find a way to keep it up
Treat myself like I'm enough

Life would be so much easier if I was beautiful
If I was better at what I do best
I bet I'm not the only one who feels this
But in my feed I feel ashamed
Attraction to my own personality
To the thing staring back at me
Why's it so damn hard to look back
Distraction, I find my own happiness
By pulling it out of others
Why can't I be happy all alone
(attraction)
I've done it I've become so much beautiful
I've filled the void inside my life
The potholes filled with gratitude for the beautiful
Tar drenched but still I am alive
(Attraction) Where's the love I've been looking for
Sympathy so much more than before
But I am who counts
(Distraction) Maybe I was always beautiful
Missing out on those beautiful moments
With those who truly count
Pull myself away from everyone else
Give myself the care that I need
Peel away the layers of disdain written across my skin
Find myself missing
(Attraction) To my own personality
To the thing staring back at me
Why's it so damn hard to look back
(Distraction) Maybe I was always beautiful
Missing out on those beautiful moments
With those who truly count, oh
I can't look back at who I was before
I can't look back at who I was before
I can't look back at who I was before
I can't look back at who I was before

My eyes are crusted shut
The day breaks through the drapes
Your breathing dusts the chilly air
I watch you slowly, without a care
But is it right?
Is it fair?
I'm not sure but I don't think I really care
Lazy bones
Spending days wasting away
Lazy bones
Sweet nothings you would say
Heaven knows
Take your guilt melt it away
Lazy bones
Hold me tight and we'll sway
They always ask you why
You never could lie
Your guilt melts away with the ice inside your cocktail
Amplified by your love
All the times you and I would hide inside trying to decide
If it's right
If it's fair
I'm not sure but I don't think I really care
Lazy bones
Spending days wasting away
Lazy bones
Sweet nothings you would say
Heaven knows
Take your guilt melt it away
Lazy bones
Hold me tight and we'll sway
Is it right?
Is it fair?
I'm not sure but I don't think I really care
Lazy bones
Spending days wasting away
Lazy bones
Sweet nothings you would say
Heaven knows
Take your guilt melt it away
Lazy bones
Hold me tight and we'll sway

Gonna wake up in a year
Forget tonight existed
Won't remember all my fears
No matter how persistent they might seem right now it's me
My entire world but in a few more weeks
These will be distant memories
But I wanna find out if it's possible
Or if it's even fair
To be who I wanted to be when I was young and dare to
Settle for nothing less
Than my childhood superhero
The dreams of adolescent intellect
Gonna waste my youthful years
Sleeping in until the motivation appears
To finish all my projects maybe I'll settle for less than perfect
Connect what's here and free
And realistic for survival, disappoint 8-year-old me
But I wanna find out if it's possible
Or if it's even fair
To be who I wanted to be when I was young and dare to
Settle for nothing less
Than my childhood superhero
The dreams of adolescent intellect
I'm so worried that I'm sick
That I'm missing out on all of it
And I can't move because of this which keeps me shaking crying out to
End it make it stop
What's in my head, I'm so exhausted
Crossing my eyes dodging the fees that cross the streets it all seems like
It's gonna be over soon
Then it comes around again
Find a better place for me to send my thoughts or make it end
Just get it over with
Give me the pills or therapist to fix the wiring in my brain again I'm asking for your help
But you can't really see
When hidden in these words it don't look like a guarantee
But maybe if I scream
The fear of missing out
It's all I ever feel
But in a year or less
This will be a stupid dream
But I wanna find out if it's possible
Or if it's even fair
To be who I wanted to be when I was young and dare to
Settle for nothing less
Than my childhood superhero
The dreams of adolescent intellect
But I wanna find out if it's possible
Or if it's even fair
To be who I wanted to be when I was young and dare to
Settle for nothing less
Than my childhood superhero
The dreams of adolescent
The fear of missing out
It's all I ever feel
The fear of missing out
It's all I ever feel

quiet thunder

You smile at me, I smile right back
The pulse I keep hidden you hijack
But it's all good, it's all fine
I walk right past, so do you
Heavy chest after "how do you do"
If only you knew
I think of looking in your eyes
Soon my brain does double-time
Then I realize
I know that it's not me, but it's not you
So who could it be
Must be my chemistry
Quiet thunder draw away
Thoughtful silence please decay
Lead raindrops please stay at bay
I won't be hurt today
It's a quiet day and that's ideal
My head keeps saying give up and feel
Feel that familiar sun
The warmth I feel I know will bloom
Soon I'll say goodbye to all the gloom
Then you walk in the room
Tiny vibrations up and down
Making mistakes here and now
I feel the wind blow
Sinking feeling help me out
Quicksand voices won't scream won't shout
This isn't what it's all about
Quiet thunder draw away
Thoughtful silence please decay
Lead raindrops please stay at bay
I won't be hurt today
And though I try my best
I know I'll soon forget this bliss
I work hard, I try hard
To end this
Wanna leave, leave my mind
Find more green grass and less high tides
Find myself some peace of mind
Quiet thunder draw away
Thoughtful silence please decay
Lead raindrops please stay at bay
I won't be hurt today
Quiet thunder draw away
Thoughtful silence please decay
Lead raindrops please stay at bay
I won't be hurt today
No I won't be hurt today
I almost won today

Shaky fingers run down your spine
Just for tonight say you'll always be mine
Tomorrow's a new day, probably a blue day but
Hold me tender, hold me sweet
Till you never scold me on I eat
Said you'd never repeat
Rip my fingernails from your sleeve
Empty bedroom cold as can be
You took what you came here for
And I can't get back what you took from me
Rope burn two hurt wrists in your hands
Makes me worry what did I do to this man
That he'd do this to me but
Hold me tender, hold me sweet
Till me molt and start to feed
The worms with our entrails, the mice with our feet
Never touch the ground, haunt our beliefs
Rip my fingernails from your sleeve
Empty bedroom cold as can be
You took what you came here for
And I can't get back what you took from me
(hold me tender, hold me sweet)
Hold me tender
So
Rip my fingernails from your sleeve
Empty bedroom cold as can be
You took what you came here for
And I can't get back what you took from me
Hold me tender, hold me sweet

The night of the storm
We went to a show
And on the way there
You got the call
I'd never been in a car
Driving so fast
With prayers and tears flowing freer
Than I could ever recall
Her heart broke that night
As your breathing slowed
She said goodnight
The nurse said it was time to go
But where do you go
When you don't know
If you're safe alone
It wasn't the first time
We'd been rushed through
The dim lit hallways of the ICU
Somehow she knew
As we opened the door
There would not be a you anymore
Her heart broke that night
As your breathing slowed
She said goodnight
The nurse said it was time to go
But where do you go
When you don't know
If you're safe alone
Every night from then on
Was fragile and shallow
The quiet of the unknown
Every face she passed
Knew her from the news
They said it's been too long
To be too soon
Her heart broke that night
As your breathing slowed
She said goodnight
The nurse said it was time to go
But where do you go
When you don't know
If you're safe alone
Her heart broke that night
As your breathing slowed
She said goodnight
The nurse said it was time to go
But where do you go
When you don't know
If you're safe alone
