I'm taking pills to try to go to sleep cause i've been ignoring what my body needs and i've spent these days and nights alone it's what i deserve from what i've shown just trying to work on myself maybe i need a little help cause i'm collecting dust on my own shelf and i'm trying real hard to forget the person that i know i've been it's something that i need to fix because you're getting the blunt of it just trying to work on myself maybe i need a little help cause i'm collecting dust on my own shelf and it feels like there's no where to go i've been a piece of shit i know and that not the person i want to be that's not how grandfather raised me and i don't wanna make you upset i want you to know you're my best friend but justin your words mean nothing but justin that's exactly what you said

i guess tonight's just one of those types of nights where you just want to forget but there's no chance i know i should be happy and celebrate his life but i just cant and it's been a year and i still am down it'll be another year til i come around or maybe not, i can't sleep it's been a year and i still cant sleep so please save me so i can finally sleep sometimes i wish you were a ghost so you would haunt me then i would have more then just a memory we live in the same room, but it's not the same used to sleep on the floor to watch the stair case cause i felt afraid almost every day the carpet itched my face, but at least i felt safe oh i felt safe and it's been a year and i still am down it'll be another year til i come around or maybe not, i can't sleep it's been a year and i still cant sleep so please save me so i can finally sleep and oh grandfather i swear that i'll take care of her oh i'll take care of them both and i'll be the man of this household oh i'll just just what you told but without you here this place feels cold and it makes me mad because you never watched me fall in love it makes me sad because you left and now i just feel stuck

2 AM 03:05
well it's 2 am might as well write a song looking through old photos and it's been far too long since i did something that felt like my choice this feeling of nothing has muffled my voice and i cant stand it i'm in between being lost forever and being happy and all i know is i cant have them both no no no no no no no don't need real lights i got these ones on string i don't need you i got burnt cd's well it's all that i got when i'm stuck in this room reminiscing and missing it too and i cant stand it im in between being lost forever and being happy and all i know is i can't have them both no no no no no and all i know is that maybe in another universe id' be free from this godamn curse and i'd avoid all this dramatic shit because its so highschool, i want to quit maybe i should grow up realize my mistakes i keep playing the victim and that's the part of me that i hate and sitting around, moping around wont fix anything, i need to figure it out it's gotta be on my own but what the hell do i know what the hell do i know what the hell do i know

i think i think too much and i don't do enough pray to a eight ball god but he said tough luck i'm in the other room playing la vi en rose and you're fast alseep and you will never know and your car smells like pot and cigarette ash won't get the return when your car is just trashed and you don't talk to your mom because you're always gone with you're new best friends wonder when that'll end you always go in waves first it's super tight then a year or two and something's not alright but you can't ignore me all week then call me when i'm feeling empty and you always text me when i feel like i'm moving on a constant reminder that every thing that i do is just wrong and i just think it's funny how i think that it's funny now and i just think it's funny how i feel differently now i'm done, hun waiting for a call back i broke up with you so i guess i don't deserve that but that doesn't mean that it's not shitty to ignore me after we make some plans, making me feel just so lonely but that's alright and i'll be fine oh i'll be fine went up to fargo this weekend with my best friends they make me feel happy and like me as a person and the music in this shutting down venue makes me realize that i'll be just fine without you without you but that's alright, ignore me all week then call me when you're feeling empty just know that i won't be answering cause i don't got time for anything except for my family and my friends and i'm sure as hell not gonna pretend that you didn't run off with him and call me after it ended after my life was getting better you probably saw that shit on twitter and i'm not gonna give up my friends for something that i wanted to end and i'm sorry i'm being shitty it's just me projecting you can ignore me all week and call me when you're feeling empty and just go ahead and text me cause i already fucking moved on a constant reminder that every thing that happened was just wrong

about

This is a love letter to all my friends and family. I could never thank anyone of you enough for all you've done for me. This record was recorded in my bedroom (not the best quality I know), but I'm so proud of it as a whole. I hope that everyone who listens to this will love it, because I love it, and I loved making it.
ALL PROCEEDS GO TO THE AMERICAN FOUNDATION FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION
Thank you to Will Leach for the amazing artwork (hit this guy up for any art needs)
Thank you to my wonderful mom for putting up with me screaming in my bedroom recording these songs at all hours of the night.
Thank you to anyone who listens to this, you mean the world to me.
And a final thank you to all of the buds, no matter what, you're always welcome in my home and in my heart, and I will always be down for a Taco Bell run with you guys.
