gone for good

If you’re going to go
Leave her with a smile
Tell her that you love her
Before you say goodbye
Because she won’t smile for weeks
Once she hears the news
That you left her for a body
Of water, so deep and blue
And she’ll cry
You know she’ll weep
Until her tears create a body
Of water, so blue and deep
Can’t take it back
Bet you wish you could
But it’s too late now
You’re gone for good
Gone for good
For good
For better or worse
You’re gone for good
She’s dressed in black
A flower in her hand
A coat upon her shoulders
For the cold, she can barely stand
You know you left her scrambling
To find a reason why
Oh, she’s staring at the ocean
She’s questioning the tide
Because she’s cried
You know she’s wept
But the tears are all gone now
There’s nothing left
She’s empty
You know why
She’s empty
And looking towards the sky
Because you’re gone for good
For good
For better or for worse
You’re gone for good
She’s looking at the ocean
Wish I could say it wasn’t so
She’s leaving them with a smile
Before she lets go
And no one will smile for weeks
Once they hear the news
That she left them for a body
Of water, so deep and blue
Can't take it back
Bet you wish you could
But it’s too late now
You’re both gone for good
Gone for good
For good
For better or worse
You’re gone for good

someone tell me
03:42

I don’t feel safe in myself
Wish i could be someone else
I’d give anything at all
Just to feel unlike
I’m about to fall
And unable to stop
And unwilling to know why
I don't want to survive
Myself
Someone tell me
If it's worth it
I don't want to go on
Someone tell me
What it's like on the other side
Will I be happier
Or should I stay?
One day they say to me
One day you'll feel okay
But one day
Never came
Maybe if I die
Then I'd feel alright
Or maybe not
Someone tell me
If it's worth it
I don't want to go on
Someone tell me
What it's like on the other side
Will I be happier
Or should I stay?
The darkness knows my name
I tell her to go away
Listen, please listen to me
I just need to stay
One more day
I won't listen
I won't listen to you
Someone tell me
If it's worth it
I don't want to go on
Someone tell me
What it's like on the other side
But I wouldn't be happier
So I'll stay.

Is that all it takes anymore
Is that the only thing my work has been for
My eyes are running and i try to reign them in
But the rain keeps on running
And it runs down off my chin
Did you ever love me
Cause you said you did
I know you didn’t show it
I know you didn’t say it often
But you said you did
Give me a moment and i
Will stop this runny nose
Will dry these running eyes
I’ve been told you’re a piece of shit
By someone who really gives a shit
But I am a piece of shit
Who won’t fucking listen
Did you ever love me
Cause you said you did
I know you didn’t show it
I know you didn’t say it often
But you said you did
A7 d c-1 3rd string 1st fret
When your hand touched my face
With the veracity of a can of mace
I made every excuse in the book
To overlook it look it
But it’s not a healthy relationship
When your boyfriend doesn’t give a shit
About how you feel
Did you ever love me
Cause you said you did
I know you didn’t show it
I know you didn’t say it often
But you said you did
But you said you did
But I’m saying you didn’t

Is this all a dream?
Feels like i’m floating through reality
Give it straight to me
Because the person in the mirror
They won’t talk to me
F e7 am g
So tie an anchor
Around my ankles
But you know
It’ll never
Hold me down
So teach me how to pretend
That i’m able
To tell
The days from weeks
The weeks from months
The months from years
And I
Will pretend
That i’m able
This body feels like a rental home
I try not to get too comfortable
Cause soon I’ll have to go
And I’m trying to stay grounded
But i’m up so high
I can’t quite see where the ground is
So tie an anchor
Around my ankles
But you know
It’ll never
Hold me down
So teach me how to pretend
That i’m able
To tell
The days from weeks
The weeks from months
The months from years
And I
Will pretend
That i’m able
And there doesn’t seem
To be a cure
I don’t know what to do
Anymore
So i’m waiting on this anchor
To drag me down
So tie an anchor
Around my ankles
But you know
It’ll never
Hold me down
So teach me how to pretend
That i’m able
To tell
The days from weeks
The weeks from months
The months from years
And I
Will try
To stay on the ground
Will pretend
That i’m able
But you know
That i’ll never
Be able

The rain is coming soon
So let’s head up to your room
And we can
Build a pillow fort
I’ll keep you warm
And I know that it seems scary
But I swear to you
On God and Mary
That we will be
Alright
So let’s gather all the blankers
You know i’ll do
Whatever it takes to
Keep you safe
And warm
--
The rain is coming soon
So let’s head up to your room
And we can
Build a pillow fort
I’ll keep you warm
And i know that mom and dad are gone
And the storm is here, but it
Wont be long
Cause we’ll make it through
Together
And the lights are going out
So let’s grab some flashlights
And we will count
The seconds between thunder and lightning
--
And when the rain is overhead
You can rest your weary head
On my shoulder
And i’ll keep you safe
From the storm
So let’s gather all the blankets
And we can make
A pillow fort
--
The rain is coming soon
So let’s head up to your room
And we can
Build a pillow fort
I’ll keep you warm

I thought
You cared
For me
That you
Were a friend
To me
A friend
Who held my hand
And told me
We got on well
A friend
Who grabbed my shoulders
And dragged me
Through hell
And i know it’s my fault
I know it’s my fault
I know it’s my
Trusting nature
And i’m treading through salt
Treading through salt
Treading through salt
Water
And you should have asked
But i didn’t stop you
And you didn’t ask
But i should have stopped you
I though
You respected
Me
That i
Was granted
Autonomy
But you
Didn’t quite feel
That i was
Allowed to be
Anything
But
Your goddamn
Property
But was it my fault
was it my fault
Was it my
Trusting nature
And i’m swimming through salt
Swimming through salt
Swimming through salt
Water
And you should have asked
But i didn’t stop you
And you didn’t ask
But i couldn’t have stopped you
What does it take
To make you believe
That a body is something
To use and then leave
Out in the dark
On iowa street
What will it take
To make me believe
That my body is something
That belongs to me
But i left that body
On iowa street
But it wasn’t my fault
wasn’t my fault
Wasn’t my
Trusting nature
And i’m drowning in salt
Drowning in salt
Drowning in salt
Water
And you should have asked
But i didn’t stop you
And you didn’t ask
But i couldn’t have stopped you
You never
Cared
For me

Family photos
Absent of you
Empty bottle
Full of truth
Let me out
Of this fishbowl
Let me flounder
On dry land //inst//
I’ve been living
In the shade
I’ve been craving
A change
Look me in the eyes
Through coke bottle lenses
Explain to me why
Not //inst//
Flowers grow
Towards the sun
Absentmindedly
pick one
Put it in
A vase
Bring me to
A sunny place //inst//
Wrong bottle
Of pills
Useless youthful mind
Haunts me still
Arms crossed over
My chest
The shade grown flower
Put to rest //inst//
Pinkeye dreaming
All night
Scarlet wrists
Catch the morning light
I’ll be
My own eulogy
Roots laden deep
In the shade //inst//
Rosy eyes
Look towards the sun
Forget
Everyone
Everyone's gone now
You don't need them
Rosy eyes
Look towards the sun
If you can't carry me
Then bury me
Rosy eyes
Look towards the sun
Forget
Everyone

Mistaking streetlight for moonlight
A mistake coming here
Oh please won’t you take my jacket
At least one of us should be comfortable here
But at least i didn’t ask you to my bedroom
At least part of me is still clean
But when we were away from the moonlight
The streetlights illuminated the obscene
Take me to your friend’s party
Take another swing at me
Boy in the kitchen tops off my cup
And of course, of course
You don’t think it’s enough
But at least i was alive in the morning
I stared at the moon all night
Wondering how i could be so stupid
All you are is counterfeit moonlight
I see you all the time
You’re long since passed
But i was staring
Into the streetlight
And i looked away
But your face was
Burned in my brain
Won’t go away
And sometimes i wonder
If you didn’t want it either
If we were each other’s
Streetlight
But the way you smiled at me
Deliriously happy
And power-hungry like
A wolf
You chased me to
The cliff’s edge
You told me to
Keep drinking
Illuminate your darkness
With streetlight
And the rain
Is coming soon
So i’ll weep
With the moon
Cover up the counterfeit moonlight
See your face in the evenings
Of my eyelids
I’m loitering on bridges
At night
Moonlight grabs my arm
She takes me home
All you are is counterfeit moonlight

Nine years old
Wishing for
Another life
Twelve years old
When I first gave
It a try
And my arms would never
Be the same
Chest wrapped tight
In cellophane
And I wish
I was never born
--
Fifteen and
The story’s getting old
Down bottles upon bottles
Of anything that’d make the time go
And look, here comes
A boy who thinks
He can maybe
Change me
But i’ve been dead
Since before
I was born
--
So take
My hand
And make me whole
Take
My hand and make me
Take
My hand you’ll turn to gold
I’ll stay rotten
But you’ve already forgotten
--
Mom cried when
She heard what I had done
She’s the reason’
That they haven’t won
Helped me out in my own time
Showed me how to be alright
And she loved me
She loved me, most of all
