I. Introduction
[This is Alex. I used to write songs.
I’m trying to fix everything.
I will try to be honest.
It’s been hard, ever since I stopped writing songs.]
II. IIII
I think I’m scared
Ashamed
And proud, and wrong.
You can’t fix it.
And I’m fine alone
You’re fine alone
You can’t take care of me
You can’t fix me.
I still go home and write dumb songs
And I only sing when no one’s home.
I hold onto to my phone when I’m asleep.
I never learn a thing when I was young.
I talk and dress the same and still get sprung.
I’m still dumb.
We’ll undress and realize
We’re not ready; we’re too young.
III. Sleep
I can’t sleep when I think
Of what I’ll do
When I wake up.
I want everything.
I want nothing.
Remember when I used to brag
About how
Things wouldn’t change.
Well, they changed.
I miss everything
That I let go
I miss everything
But I let it all go
And I miss everything,
But I let all go, go, go.
And I miss everything.
IV. You Need To Be As Suspicious As I Am
[And all the things I say
I don't mean them
You need to be as suspicious as I am]
V. Forever Means Real
Forever doesn’t mean real.
It doesn’t mean
Exists, persists, insists—
Is this it?
It doesn’t mean I know what to say.
It doesn’t mean that nothing will scare it away.
I don’t know who told me:
Exists; persists; insists.
I don’t know who told me:
This is it. This is it. This is it.
I don’t know who told me.
VI. Figures
It’s figured out
If I would know, I would know it by now
I would know it by now
It’s not the way I thought it’d go down
And I’m freaking out
This already hurts
And you know by now
I am just scared
I am just scared
VII. Outro
[Silence]
