if i break down again
would anyone even see it
i could hide in plain sight, i could spend all my time
writing you messages in my head
we're the last ones at the party
im floating like its a dream
but i'm not the shining star you wanted me to be
i mean nothing to you, you mean nothing to me
its just a matter of time
before i fuck up my life
i could write it all down, for everyone to figure out
but no one wants to hear me whine
i got too used to writing songs
for no reason at all
im no mountain goats im no son of sam
im just here
i cant wait to just exist
and leave all of this
water the plants, drive to work
drink a beer

an ending scene

i bet he has eyes just like yours
pale rocks dug in sand
are the fortunes you've seen
buried, too, in his hands
i wonder your thoughts before you sleep
the images burned in your eyes
tall grass, and all you had
in a house half-painted green
it could have been an ending scene
you peacefully half asleep
but you're a heart attack and i'm remembering that
you're still a living thing
i hope you found what you're looking for
dependency like you've always been
but i will always think
of when we were just two kids
scared to death, a blinding quickness
like all the drugs you had to take
i wanted to be your friend so bad
but i was never that brave

i was 21 years when i wrote this song
i'm 22 now but i wont be for long
g bm g gm
time fucks off, and looks back
like it was somethin that you tried so hard to grasp
and it escapes, it runs away
it hides under your bed and waits
g bm g gm
until it can grab you, pull you beneath
like the wallmaster that lives inside of me
forever, forever
i will carry all my memories of you
forever, forever
time is stopped hidden in the blankets in your room
and all this shit that distance always puts us through
if you will stick with me ill stick with you
so i burn inside myself,
if this is living then i'm living in hell
i always make too much breakfast
i just talk to the walls,
i call out your name
i scream and shout and yell
im always mad at myself, i always take the blame
ill do anything just to see the day
when youre finally next to me
no more scars or broken teeth
and ill finally get to tell you
all the things i meant to say

you've got an end in me

i had a friend in everybody
that i had met or seen
drunk and tired, they shook my hand
and stumbled out into the street
wish i could have seen the stars that night
when you saw love anew
light snow melting on your window
grass coated in it too
you held my hand when i was sixteen
and i guess i never thanked you
i hope youve found your purpose
i hope it calms your sickness too
i saw smoke rise from the gas station
i saw a father hold his breath
we used to talk about the future
like we were flowers still in bed
i had a friend in everybody
that i had met or seen
i saw something in you
but you saw nothing in me
