lyrics

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]
