I'm not as undercover as my FBI friends I can't study as hard between the book ends Maybe thats my problem Maybe I can solve them Maybe it's just out of my control I can't keep up with the bachelor I don't know what I'm after It gets real hard some days Balancing my pleasure with my GPA I guess it's all the same wherever I go I'm still questioning my control Gimme answers gimme answers Give me empathy Show me some sign of life I need a remedy I don't see this coming through I think the message got lost in your point of view Try to listen just a little bit longer I have a master plan I don't dress as nice some friends They make me look nice on the weekends I spend so much time on the small things Soon they become everything I focus on and think about I need to relax I need to learn from the past And put it all in the plan I promise I have a plan I don't doubt I can change your mind I just need to make up mine Gimme answers gimme answers Give me empathy Show me some sign of life I need a remedy I don't see this coming through I think the message got lost in your point of view Try to listen just a little bit longer I have a master plan I'll improv what I can And I'll lean on my friends when I need them That's all I got for a master plan I'll learn from them what I can I'll call that all my master plan I've got so much time To figure it out

I don't like the silence anymore These streets don't seem as busy As I thought they'd be Misplaced words Train of thought's been escaping me Left the station Right around the same time Me mistaken I made my brain a land mine Tremors in my tenor have been lost in the lull Spent the whole day just staring at the wall And I am continually surprised At my ability to visualize your eyes there I don't like the silence anymore O I don't like the silence anymore O It's been a long day And a longer night But I need you more than I need sleep It's been a long day And a longer night But my bed is putting up one of those fights I told you about Earlier this week I know I know You're probably asleep I miss your vocal vibrations The ones we use in conversations Use our imagination Illustrate that there's no separation Through our headphones Sing a verse that you know And I'll recommend another one as soon as your done Walk up and down these halls Singing that you're all I need But it won't get me far Cus I can't make time pick up any speed I don't like the silence anymore O I don't like the silence anymore O It's been a long day And a longer night But I need you more than I need sleep It's been a long day And a longer night But my bed is putting up one of those fights I told you bout Earlier this week I know I know You're probably asleep But by chance if you're awake Could you let me know It's kinda lonely up here Surrounded by my fears Irrational I know

I've got two places that I sleep Places that I eat Places that I feel so welcome Two patterns in my feet Maps for in-between I'm not getting lost I swear I'm straight outta here But I'll be coming back I'm always coming back I need space to grow To be on my own But my attitude can change And I'll end up feeling strange So I'll call you up To calm me down Thanks for what I've learned My love was more than earned It was well spent It was well spent

We think we're average when we're out of it Who isn't up on their social cues I think we've mastered being counterfeit The place is smoking like we blew a fuse Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Let’s fall asleep It feels like it’s been weeks I can feel it in my knees My “wants” turn into “needs” It's true My thoughts are bleeding through You think you need it too (But there's always issues) His show doesn't get played every day But I still hear it about it through monthly updates So I hear that karma isn't kind I heard about the fines I heard about what they found In the freezer I really hope you find your harmony I hope it's one that doesn't come out of a cup or a blunt or a puff of smoke or a lie or a life that you made a joke Consider calling but I’m hanging up Don’t even make it to the tone Can’t avoid that we’re growing up But grow apart? I can only hope I can only hope (It’s more than smoke rings) I can only hope (It’s all the little things) You learn to float (And that’s what really stings) I can only hope (It’s all the little things) We think we're average when we're out of it Who isn't up on their social cues I think we've mastered being counterfeit The place is smoking like we blew a fuse It's more than just alone time I'm just saying it's been hard to find Just me Just you Just us Alone with our addictions

Time this week has gone so slow I'm making the move out my window Drop to the ground Run around and set up space No more patience for saving face Cus in my room I feel the panic Not moving around can feel so strange I'm not trying to be dramatic Sorry, I'll save it for the stage (Scene change scene change) Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo These are not the best years of my life But so far they're my favorite Dancing in a daze it's all alright But sometimes I'm indifferent Playing with snakes until they bite I'm just trying to savor it But sometimes I'm indifferent So pour me another while no ones looking Then pour me out onto the floor The alcohol is down the hall and I'm gonna fall down it I left my senses at the door And it drives me crazy And it drives me crazy And It drives me crazy But I'm great What are you talking about I'm so open minded my brain might fall out

So Im sitting down and I'm writing now in a room of my own Haven't figured out all the money stuff But I figured out how to be alone I'm surrounded by people who plagiarize Whats lays behind their disguise behind eyes inside their minds See it doesn't take much to throw me off It doesn't take much at all Search engine crashes down Just around the time I need it Figures... Maybe I should crawl back to my home, my hole, my house Chill out Face down Daydream Plan out My thoughts Be me It's just that easy To get swallowed up in all your Words that ease me And I'm surrounded now by all these works These works of art Your works of art So I'm pacing now There's no sitting down Down the aisles Stretching miles across ground Please don't make a sound Please don't make a sound That sorta thing is frowned upon in here Oh hear me near me dear me Little known facts about me You too My skin must be tougher cus you can't get it to bruise Focus focus Lose focus I can't help but think of you It's gonna get harder When we don't share a common room It's just that easy To get swallowed up in all your Words that ease me And I'm surrounded now by all these works You wanna go somewhere? Put it on the map You be something? Put it on the map Attract me Distract me It's just that easy To get swallowed up in all your Words that ease me And I'm surrounded now by all these works that please me Audible Visual mental and physical Stimulate me There's still so much to do You gotta a lot to do You're my favorite kind of procrastination And it's just that easy

Home again with an argument for two She's late again with a lousy excuse "I had some extra stuff to review" Couldn't wait to talk so we ended up in the bathroom And we looked into the mirror like a parody of Adam and Eve And I'm Laughing for sake of finding remedy Cus I think it's kinda funny that you're running with the money Stealing loot and missing duties Do we have to try rebuking all the time The thoughts and feelings reeling back and forth inside our different minds? So why not try A different method of exposure Leave the sun screen back at home Maybe this time will turn out better But if not hang up the phone Do I have know your head? Because I'd rather go to bed Can we put this thing to rest Maybe call it off instead I get the gist of what you said I think it's better if it's dead So let's welcome back Lazarus She's so hazardous And she knows not what she does Except for when she knows she does And she does it so well Oh well oh well I'll say to myself Leave the rest up to you As I retire to my room I'm just so tired Of this The ups and downs and all arounds My time is ruled my timers Find the clock and cut the wire And sleep for forty days and forty nights Do I have know your head? Because I'd rather go to bed Can we put this thing to rest Maybe call it off instead I get the gist of what you said I think it's better if it's dead

Scribble down some stupid stuff Is it worth it? Fake and phony chains of mail And searching for a purpose Back down to the old pond Throw in my rock Maybe make a little ripple across surface I can see it out I can sort it out But it still makes me nervous Come home, look back, collapse, fall down in a chair Flip through plastic memories and games of truth or dare Lean back and stare away Look back from all the grey Until I can get some air Being drunk and tired don't mix well Unless I'm next to you ah what the hell I know I have been on the down low And I know I needed time to take to it slow To get it right To a song A song for you To sing along to But then again I don't even know what I want to say Things didn't go our way Coughed up smoke and spoke your name It was more of a whisper but it sounds the same When my voice is shot short by a shock of sorts Writing something pointless Forgetting what the point is Lists all bullet pointed An aimless brainless playlist lacking patience I'm not in a good place And at this pace I'm overlapping itself Maybe if we just Hold your ground now We could adjust Slow it down now I don't know where I'm going with this So show me where the window is I know I have been on the down low And I know I needed time to take to it slow To get it right To a song A song for you To sing along to But then again I don't even know what I want to sing

I feel complete I'm finally warm So lemme hear those words again Rewind and restore me Write a list on the back of your hand Spend time on my headaches and sickness while you can And I'll be waiting Stress free Don't be afraid to scratch up ur knees Take time It's not a long walk from your room to mine (Unwind) But maybe I'll make it awkward And maybe I'll want to die (ow) It happens when you stare me in the eyes (Staring contests) I wanna spend some time on the hammocks I wanna spend some time with you My desk Consists of a mess But let me digress Let's have a look at what's left Iced coffee on post-it note coasters Tickets and pamphlets And conversation openers I got lists of things to do But I think I can squeeze in you Sleepy shots and polaroid pictures that means Dancing in a dorm room next to you "Boom" Programming sounds to wiggle in and make you giggle and make a mixtape for you Neither roomie makes room in the room so I assume that we'll have to make due But we'll get used to it I wanna spend some time on the hammocks I wanna spend some time with you I wanna make some see through excuses I wanna spend some time with you I wanna spend some time on the hammocks I wanna spend some time with you

It feels like we're stuck in traffic But we're going the same speed We kicked people out of bus seats Couldn't find a place to eat Gas station food to hold us over Making faces at each other over our shoulders And we know it's already getting started And we know it's already getting started I need to calm down I need to calm down I need to calm down I need to calm down I found out about what gravity can do And it rhymes with wrong Rushed the strip Ate some fish And look who tagged along Now we're making up songs in the practice rooms But we're moving on quick just in case we have to I don't want to get caught taking up space Supercuts and a not so good one He's taking notes on the placement of the sun Feeling little at the overpasses Driving through wall flower bridges and forgetting classes exist It's only been two minutes But it feels like so much longer I couldn't feel any better And all he can taste is hot and cold It feels like sunset weather Falling over trying to take notes on my phone So I don't forget what I don't know Talking girls in a different postal code Brad's been watching the same six episodes I don't know I don't want to think about it TMI TMI TMI But curiosity still gets the best of me I'll just see how that turns out later Change the background on my phone So it reminds me of more of home I keep getting distracted Sinking deeper into this mattress It keeps deflating Until I'm laying in the ground I don't know up from down The room is turning round Even given all of that I still feel safe and sound I couldn't feel any better And all he can taste is hot and cold It feels like sunset weather Falling over trying to take notes on my phone So I don't forget what I don't know It feels like sunset weather I couldn't feel any better All he can taste is hot and cold How could this ever get old I don't ever want to get old I don't ever want to get old Slow it down again why not... I'm down for coffee the next day Wish I could stay but it's fine It's alright On the bus ride home we're already starving But it's ok There's a rest stop in sight

I feel like the last domino Falling over With nothing to catch me But the ground And it won't make a sound Cause no one was around to hear it So there I go falling I'll end up calling it an accident While I'm face down in cement I'm getting used to the taste of it Shake it off real swift Shake it off real swift Rinse and repeat Rinse and repeat But it's still my fault The blame is all on me I've been living in my memories On my own private island I'll just sit there I'm smiling While nostalgia keeps me warm I can sit here all day Wasting away But I got bored And wanted something more Intangible More manageable Self sufficient Oh I can be efficient Let me be efficient I might just surprise you I can see the headline: Party goer guy goes missing Find him in the backyard drinking Staring at the sky and thinking How did we get so small? Are the big guys cheating? I wanna knock down a wall There's something inside me eating Away away away I want to go away Until I get bored And want something more Intangible More manageable You caught me at a bad time I think I'm running out of time I think I need to make more time I'm gonna run wild Running wild I feel like running wild I feel like running wild I feel like running wild I feel like running wild I feel like running Running wild I know I need to use my time I'm running wild And it drives me crazy And it drives me crazy
