Everyone holds on the same Nobody near explains Oh well it’s nothing now Some of the others can’t tell He’s moving he’s out, turns out, it’s all nothing now, Adrian don’t you sweat it Adrian don’t you sweat it Everyone holds on the same Hoop never spoke the name Go get your show on the road Don't open your mouth turns out it’s all nothing Now, Adrian don’t you sweat it Adrian don’t you sweat it I’m one to talk That I can see But give me some backbone At least I know I know where we wouldn’t be

so i think i have to let it go i think i have to bury the body and honor the ghost cold i keep one fire stoked at home when it eats through the tinder, i sit and i miss the glow i left my heart in God-Why-Bother it was hardened, and green in color i left it out to flower to make tea from roots and petals so it's taken years, but now i know when he spoke of different loves, he wasn't asking me to go you know i did best and took the blow caught it next to my stomach, and let it stay and let it grow i gave my love to Nevermind smiled broad, and smiled wide if you could see me now, i'm fine red mouth and a weak gumline i left my heart in God-Why-Bother it was hardened, and green in color i left it out to flower to make tea from roots and petals

What do you want me to say It's never going away 'Cause I'm stuck on you like the smell of cigarettes on your flower dress I want you under my fingernails I want you in my sleep and in my dreams I wake up spooning my pillow Sweaty hand but please don't tell your friends Now I'm addicted to cigarettes at first I didn't let myself inhale But smoke got through and so did you and now every burn hole smells like home And I know it's killing me but that still won't stop me 'Cause now we smell the same but you still kill me faster I don't mind that you lie sometimes Because I lie too guess I'm just like you I don't mind that you lie sometimes Because I lie too guess I'm just like you I don't mind that you lie sometimes Because I lie too guess I'm just like you I don't mind that you lie sometimes Because I lie too guess I'm just like you I DON'T MIND THAT YOU LIE SOMETIMES BECAUSE I LIE TOO GUESS I'M JUST LIKE YOU

missed trips and promises to protect one another taking time to reflect on myself and rediscover what i want to be in this world there is so much truth in what we're told when we choose to listen sending love from far away when we can't be together calling doesn't feel the same while we wait for the world to get better i know we'll be together again but for now ill just pretend while the world takes some time to rebegin we can learn to love each other

I'll wait, i'll wait To see you everyday I know it's late You gotta be up by eight So I'll save what I have to say For when you're off later today Wait yes I'll wait Wait until it's over Wait yes I'll wait Wait until it's over Wait yes I'll wait Wait until it's over Wait yes I'll wait Wait until it's over I'll wait all day You say you'll be off by eight I can't wait to say what I have to say So I'll watch sunrise turn to shade Til you're off later today You say we don't got much time So look into each other's eyes You say you don't wanna go Baby I know I know but then I guess I'll have to Wait yes I'll wait Wait until it's over Wait yes I'll wait Wait until it's over Wait yes I'll wait Wait until it's over Wait yes I'll wait Wait until it's over I'll lay awake Dream of you every single day I'll lay awake And dream of the day Where we Spend the whole day together Wait yes I'll wait Wait until it's over Wait yes I'll wait Wait until it's over Wait yes I'll wait Wait until it's over Wait yes I'll wait Wait until it's over

I'm not always tired, but I'm usually peopled-out. It won't be long til I move on from this and gracefully bow out. It don't take much to get along, I don't need much to keep me strong, I don't talk much, I'm better off hiding where you can find me, At my window, every morning. Driving for days, still exploring. The remnants of my five year plan are shorter than my attention span. I'm most always bluffing still my conscience weighs nothing more than a ghost. My love for adventure makes me a flakey friend at best. Profoundly sad to admit, I'll never get better than this. Cause in the funny way I see, it's better if I leave before I hit my peak or my good luck dies. Won't go to bed until I relearn to sleep on my side. And that's the point of driving for days, never knowing. Still stuck in a full body yawn, a moment of calm, I'm standing face to face with a parody of myself hoping he don't mind me asking, "Why do you hate so much? How did you chip your tooth? How are you so sure of your purpose and when did you know what's best for you? And why do you care so much? What are you trying to prove? Won't you wake me from my daydream when you leave for something new. I wanna come too."

Seems like I'm facing bad weather Cold and dark just like December Seems like it will rain forever Inside of my head If that's what you wanna do Then I'll see you next June If that's what you wanna do If that's what you wanna do Then I'll see you next June If that's what you wanna do It seems like I'm facing bad weather Cold and dark just like December Feels like it will rain forever Inside of my head Go away

We said goodbye to you in the rain To your reflection in a puddle of mud The same afternoon As another friend’s funeral a hundred miles away And seven hours from home And it hurts but I know I wasn’t really expected to go But I know if we had Maybe you might’ve made it through I’m on another overnight drive With five more hours to go It seems like we barely survived Don’t know quite what to expect tomorrow Because last night on the phone We decided to move north together So you could get the scene change that you need And I could drown myself in the Willamette River White knuckles on the steering wheel Coughing up black smoke on an I-5 hill And I’m begging under my breath Please don’t break down again Please don’t break down again Please don’t break down again Please don’t break down again I’m in a stuffy too-small dorm room You’re getting drunk in your garage alone Try not to think about the miles between us While we yell at each other on the phone ‘Cause I know in the end It makes more sense to hate each other as friends Yeah, I know in the end It makes more sense to hate each other as friends Engine shuddering under my feet Grinding and coming apart somewhere on 80 East And I’m whispering through clenched teeth Please don’t break down again Please don’t break down again Please don’t break down again Please don’t break down again Do I miss you? Does it matter? Well don’t you flatter yourself Because there’s a hole in my heart and a weight on my chest Like a four car collision on the interstate at 65 miles an hour Please don’t break down again (Please don’t break, you know better than to break down) Well I guess it bears repeating (Please don’t break, you know better than to break down) Please don’t break down again (Please don’t break, you know better than to break down) 'Cause it feels just like, just like Please don’t break down again (Please don’t break, you know better than to break down) Please don’t break down again (Please don’t break, you know better than to break down) Please don’t break down again (Please don’t break, you know better than to break down) Please don’t break down again Please don’t break, you know better than to break down

You So good To me Oh can't you see I find the time to listen Reaching for the distance Friendships I've been missing they come and they go But you always know It's how these things tend to grow When you're staring at the clock and it's looking slow Gravity Is pulling me in In to stay These times are the sweetest ones so Don't go run into the sun Gravity It's pulling me in Gravity It's pulling me in In to stay I won't go away

There’s a place behind all the screens all the screens Where the purple mountain majesties have portraits made of gold Where capital and power and history Coalesce and pressurize into a gallery of gods Our mythology And the stage sits hundred miles high we zoom in All their stories play out in the same way false resolve Their drama’s based off our disruption false resolve All their stories play out in the same way false resolve More and more myths can’t stop our disruption nothing solved
