Alexander

Every move is calculated,
Every cutting glance is part of the plot
Set yourself up for more disappointment
It's the only thing close to emotion you've still got

Pop another ten,
We can't keep it down if it's not mood-alleviating
Pop another ten
Down in one gulp, for me.

So the doctor says its pointless
A lost cause, the ships already sunk
What's there left to hold on to
Who wants to save the anorexic drunk?

Pop another ten,
We cant keep it down if it's not mood-alleviating
Pop another ten
Down in one gulp, for me.

You look so good in your bright red shirt, the one I'll never see you in
You look so good in your bright red shirt, the one I'll write NOW WHAT on

untitled, to be continued

I say your name out loud
to an empty room
I was afraid I 'd forgotten how it sounds
I cannot afford to forget, this soon.

am i the only one feeling alone?
i know I am not
now make me believe it.

temperature drops
heart rate rises


turn the volume up
lets drown out
oh, everything.

which is more fashionable,
i'm so sad, so i don't eat,
i'm so sad, so i do nothing but eat.
let me know, thanks.

am i the only one feeling alone?
i know i am not, i know i am not

Now make me believe it.

Untitled

The signs showing we were meant to be
used to come from all directions
loving the beach, and inside jokes
the pain we had been through, the secret codes
Where did they go?

I swear you are my soul mate
I used to know that for a fact.
But now you're in your room and I'm sitting here
This loss of communication was always my biggest fear
Where did we go?

Old photographs always make my heart hurt
the times we shared are irreplaceable
eating junk, running aimlessly in the heat
dancing outside my car to a Mcfly beat
I need you back,

you're my best friend.
