Spent my summer driving hungry and going through a world of change The winter, the summer, the fall and the spring The last before I come of age. But it's a commitment that we locked in without knowing what we walked into Why did I waste my time? You call me a saint when I don't believe in no god I know you were my best friend, I know you won't be staying long But if it's closure that you're seeking, look to the sky don't live life sleeping Break the walls down around your head. If I'm staying, I won't be staying long And If I'm going, I can get gone. Now when I'm sleeping, there's serotonin in my brain And all I know is pain. I know his pain The winter, the summer, the fall and the spring All I know is pain.

Pushing myself into deep uncharted backwoods Backward territorial expansion never came to me naturally Except exploring southwards all my emotions And oh my god what does it mean to be? Now I'm buying bigger clothes in the hope I'll be a bigger man It's motivation if I've got nothing else to wear. But instead I just keep losing my hair It feels like this life's going nowhere. Stayed up late enough to see the sun Thinking I'm no good for anyone around me If you've met me, I'm sorry I'm not happy with who I am and I just want to be At peace, find a home But it feels like this life's just asking me to go.

Let's go and descend to new lows outside of your house in the dead of the winter I know you had too much to drink last night while I was watching constellations and doing nothing. Let go, just know there's more to life than that So stay home, and forget the rest of everyone and everything The paint on these walls isn't getting any drier I've had enough of this stentorian noise You're paralyzed, I'm asking why But I don't know. So stay home and forget why you wanted to leave in the first place

Turn your head to the moon, a better place to stand by Than being held back by your own self-righteousness. I've been dying to leave since I first walked in this place Say you're getting by but drugs don't keep you high. The nitrogen in my veins won't match the antifreeze in yours I'll be outdone by streams of consciousness. And when you go on a walk, and your world starts to rain Do you respond in catatonic-ness? Or do you fucking break? When I took my hat off in a canoe without a paddle The world became too bright for me to see My whole feeling of helplessness is inspired by what I can't do And it starts by saying everything with a B.
