i go so low you can’t see my stronghold so close to shut it out till my fists are all clinched because i remember every second of a call out and i remember every second of a prick feels like my head is going underwater all i want is someone to show me how to swim come home new ghost you can rest because i would still believe in your sympathy and i shout it out till my throat is all horse because i would drive away and i would never look back have some money saved and take off with a backpack every word they say is going through my headspace i would drive for miles and end up in the same place as yesterday cycle starts again i want to come to you at the end of a long day turn around my head i want to hear your voice tell me i’ll be ok and i could believe take every word that they said hold it up in your hand this will not define you you will break away and you will be free

News Feed 03:13
there was a time when i would spend hours at night with guitar and pen now i just scroll, looking at my friends showing me a life that might have been everyone here wants to believe that there is a world where they are free to be who they want, to own what they see find it in a newsfeed when you've got it all but it's still not enough to feel you squeeze the light out of these weary, endless days seeking something so small a mote of dust behind a curtain on a stage the smoke-black screen says what you need follow the right influence feeds fork-fed favorites of the day scroll on through, hope the numbness fades and it won't now, look: an hour's gone but you've got some likes, clicks; can't be wrong bills paid car: check roof above pics of your next love

you walk in a straight line through the wings of the hospital i stayed out of reach when you'd call me up there might be worse sons and there might be better dads but i haven't seen them yet and i know i owe you it is not enough to stand here waiting for some good news waiting for an outcome that may never return keep my fingers crossed when i drive to los angeles i want it safe to say everything will be alright and mean it every time and never doubt my own words it is not enough to stand here praying for some good news praying for an outcome that may never return keep my fingers crossed when i drive to los angeles i walk in a straight line for the first time in my life i mean to do it right i mean not to give up but sometimes i can't sleep would you be better off if i wasn't sticking around if i never showed up at all

By The Waves 02:38
would you tell me how you’re some kind of love that was waiting in the wings to arrive with your face in your hands on the bed with the feeling that i’m home in your eyes? i would wonder if we stood by the waves would they wash away my wandering head? if i played for you the perfect song would i get to feel what they have said? if we drove until we ran out of gas would you lay with me to keep me warm? if the hurricane came back to take us could i be the man you need in the storm? could your kiss be every night drive in summer? could it show me worlds that i’ve never seen? would you stay with me until night time is over? would you stay to watch the light through the trees? what would i give to say? do you think that we have that kind of love? the kind you hear about in fairy tales i’ve got my head stuck up in the clouds and i don’t think i’ll be coming down maybe you could help me out? i need to feel like i could belong cause it feels like i’ve waited forever and it feels like i’ve always been wrong
