Think back to the night we had
Stereotypical undergrads
Some guy was off his head
And you thought you were dead
At least I had the decency
To get out of your way and let you be
It could have hurt you
It could have hurt me too
(You’re trying to breathe but
I think you’re in a vacuum and there’s no way out but patience
I realize now that I probably shouldn’t have dragged you Into this fucking mess)
Facedown on the floor
Ripping out my hair
Dreaming of a door
Stoned and unaware
There must be a better phrase
Than saying “it’ll be okay”
That’ll kick me out of this daze
Or will I be stuck for days
And in the back your muffled voice is begging for the hospital
But I’m stuck in bed
Let’s ride this out instead
Go tell my family goodbye
I won’t reach A&E in time
Your twisted world can’t save me now
I’m rotting in this fucking lounge
Facedown on the floor
Ripping out my hair
Dreaming of a door
Stoned and unaware
Facedown on the floor (Go tell my family goodbye)
Ripping out my hair (I won’t reach A&E in time)
Dreaming of a door (Your twisted world can’t save me now)
Stoned and unaware (I’m rotting in this fucking lounge)

Weather Song

Tom is saying I need an umbrella
On the weather channel, on the TV
In my bedroom, in my parents’ house
And it’s raining outside but I know

Radio Silence
01:36
|

Farewell my friends, I’m sick of mingling
I’ll walk back home under the drizzle and
Tell myself it’s ‘cause I don’t wanna get
To 3AM and be alone again
Truth is that I miss you more than I can handle
I want you out of my head
It’s likely I would call you if I could
Lucky that my phone’s dead
I want you out of my head
You’re so talkative now that I’m over it
The heart you’d pocketed has nothing left to give
Don’t think of coming on down now
Let’s just try to move on
I want to believe you’re smiling
Through this radio silence

Burnout

I wouldn’t usually settle for mediocrity
Avoiding it ‘cause I don’t wanna fail is more like me
I’m tired of all this weight on my shoulders
‘cause I know when I fall, I’ll have to pick it up and try over
So I’ve been stuck in my room
Semi-hibernating
To wake up in the afternoons and feel like I’m just wasting
I’ve been thinking lately
That it’s not really worth it
I’m hurting on the daily maybe I should just quit
Another year gone down the drain
It’s fucking terrifying
Dreary thoughts infest my brain
Saying I’m a disappointment
Would it make it any better
If I said I wasn’t trying
‘cause I’ve put in in my head that growing up is slowly dying
I want to find out what gets me out of bed in the morning
I want to find out what gets me out of bed in the morning
But I’ve been stuck in my room
Semi-hibernating
To wake up in the afternoons and feel like I’m just wasting
I’ve been thinking lately
That it’s not really worth it
I’m hurting on the daily maybe I should just quit

Letdown

I’ve been out all night
Making small talk on autopilot
Now the sun’s so high my eyes refuse to shut
And I could be doing something useful
But asking me to move is futile
‘cause I’m home
And I bought chips
And the next six hours I’ll be spending on Netflix
You don’t have to tell me I’ll never get the time back
I know it’s not healthy that I tend to get sidetracked
If I’m still in bed
When you get back from classes
Come chill for a sec ‘cause I’m all out of meds
And I’ve been losing my head
I really gotta stop going out
To feel alive
It isn’t right
I’ve got so much left to do
But I’ve spaced out
To speed up time
You don't have to tell me I'll never get the time back
I know it's not healthy that I tend to get sidetracked
You don't have to tell me I know I'm a letdown
I know it's not healthy but maybe it's too late now

I reached for the doorknob dressed for the day
Only to end up moving away again
I need to get another chance to push myself
The night I’m so used to starts to retreat
Seems like the time to start fixing my sleep
I know it’s possible
So why does it feel like more than I can handle?
I’m so fucking sick of giving up
I’m always defeated it’s just my luck
But I can’t pretend 24/7
That I’m feeling fine
The moon’s declining glow
Reveals my room in such a state
I’ve been living in the wrong time zone
And turning back now feels much too late
I’m so fucking sick of giving up
I’m always defeated it’s just my luck
And I can’t pretend 24/7
That I’m feeling fine
But it’s nice to know
When you hit the floor
You can only go up from there
You can only go up
Don’t forget to come up for air
You can only go up

You haven’t been responding
But it’s seven in the morning
I take it you’re asleep then
Unless I made you mad again
Oh my, what a finale
So fucking typical of me
To push people away
‘cause I’m afraid they’ll figure out I’m not okay
So what’s the point?
You know I don’t intend to hurt you when
I do the shitty selfish things I do
And now I’m alone
I hate this town; it brings me down
But winter’s always been the hardest season
(I brought all my sports clothes on holiday thinking I’d be taking care of myself for a change)

Reboot

4AM, by the window and
Counting tiny meteoroids
Throwing wishes at random
Probing for a sign in the void
While everybody’s catching z’s
I’ve been chasing them all week
My flatmate in the other room
Possesses zombie habits too
Pass me the remote control
I’ll skip to next week like it’s just another episode
We could smoke a bowl at yours
Forget there’s stuff to do that’s due tomorrow
Not again
These escapes are awful plans
That leave me suffering
With a short attention span
And break my confidence
I fight against this fucking fidgeting
When anyone’s around
I’ll rest tonight when I feel low
And dream up vivid memories of a place I’m homesick for
Then I will rise from tomorrow
Try harder than I did the day before

I’m glad that
When I’m away
You’ll call me
To hear out my pain
And your words are
Made of medicine
Have I told ya
That I hear my name
(Pareidolia’s
What they’re calling it)
But it’s your voice
I’m so sure it is
Will you catch me when I fall
If I’m supposed to stand so tall?
‘cause I won’t take no drugs daily
Or open up to somebody
From your warnings and your pep talks
To your warmth and constant tips on
How I could be living healthily again
Even saying how your day went
Over FaceTime when I’m restless
Is enough to calm me down and give me strength
Now it’s time I get a grip
And just accept the ebb and flow
Consequences are in store
After I leave my phone’s save glow
One more thing before I go
I just wanted you to know
I’m glad that
When I’m away
You’ll call me
To hear out my pain
And your words are
Made of medicine
Have I told ya
That I hear my name
(Pareidolia’s
What they’re calling it)
But it’s your voice
I’m so sure it is
