To Die in Oregon

All Along 01:52
I wish you weren't away, I wish you were right here. I'll see you in a week, or I'll see you in a year. I'm not that strong, nor impressive, I'll prove you wrong, or second guess it. No courage built up to say what you wanna hear, and all these wasted days just stuck in my fear. All along you just hated all my songs.
2.
Pathetic 02:00
I'm looking at a letter in a frame against the wall. Though i feel pathetic I'm just thankful that you called. Let me know you're safe while you're away out of the state. I guess I'd do the same but I feel like it's just too late. Every waking moment I feel like a waste of time, Nothing I can do to change my mood or state of mind. All those things you said to me, I just can't forget. Like I'll "burn in agony of guilt and regret".
3.
I can't let you go, can't let things be. I have no control, no self esteem. But I won't let it show, won't let you see. I'm uncomfortable and so uneasy. Just smoking out my lungs. An empty cage for you. Forever having fun, with you.
4.
Bad luck 01:15
I don't even know me. Get stoned when I'm lonely. I'll try to let you know... I'm down and all mixed up, so fucked with my bad luck. I'll find my way through this.
5.
I can barely take this life. I'm always stuck in my skin. Always stuck in my head. Never trust what you said. Always so elusive. Always so Pretentious. I never meant to do this, I was just confused with everything I knew and everything I know.
6.
Gold Letters 01:17
Gold letters on your wall over where you sleep. I've been waiting for your call, I've been waiting here for weeks. Bruises all across your leg. A constant ringing inside your head. I don't wanna move at all. I don't wanna move from bed. Don't wanna move at all. I'm just stuck inside my head. (I wish I were like you, barely on the edge. I over thought a lot about everything you said. I'm shaking at the thought of you inside my head.)
7.
I just wish you called me sooner. I just wish you wished for this cuz I'm always looking over my shoulders. Always fuss now with my fists. Everyone is getting older, everyone just shut their lips. All I feel is so much colder more than i should. Always looking over my shoulder more than I should.
8.
After all, I feel the same. I know you're not the one to blame. I have always had this pain and I don't know if I will change.
