Dead Weight

If there's one thing I've learned over the last couple of years
It's that no matter what happens
The world has a way to always bring me down
No matter what I achieve, I never feel good about myself
I'm tripping over my own feet
Burning at both ends but they'll never meet
I can't run from my problems and every night
This dead weight pulls at me I won't get any sleep tonight
All the things I cannot change keep running through my mind
Will one day come when I don't lose what I'm trying to find?
I just need to clear my head but it's too cold to go outside
My body is broken, my head is in pieces
My clothes are too small and my games aren't in their cases
I'm losing sense of who I am
There's got to be something I can do
To take back what you took from me, I don't have to prove myself to you
The only thing I can think about is my friend who passed
I spend more time with you now than I ever could in person
I feel like i'm getting to know you so much more than before
Thank you Joe for some of the best times of my life
(This dead weight won't pull me down)
I'll just go to Barry, get stoned, watch some wrestling
To get my mind off all the shit I hate
This world will not beat me, whatever I'm feeling
I'll keep my head up as long as i'm alive

Will You Still Call Me?

The last six months have been the best but they're just fading away
And my security is lacking is the best thing to say
I understand I'm not the best person to be around
I'm too demanding, un-understanding
My mind is sailing away from the fact that we won't see each other every single day
A year from now things won't be the same
And that's not to say that I won't think of you as much as I already do
But I've just gotta face the facts
It looks like my friends just don't give a fuck
And I guess that I'm way shit out of luck
You'll travel twenty miles for a house party
But you won't even come to a show and support me
And it's fine by me, I guess I'll wait and see
When I go to university will you still call me?
I'm wasting time, it's less than just a year before we all move out and leave this town
And we'll live our lives, surrounded by stress in a place we don't know too well
I swear to god if I see you around, I'll still know your face, you'll be able to tell I haven't changed a bit we'll sit and reminisce
Talk about and think of all the times we once spent
And if my life goes as I planned
And I'm on tour with my band
And if I play a home show, I hope i'm not some guy you used to know
You'll come backstage, tell us how well we played
And all and all and in the end
I'll still call you my friends
And I just want my friends to give a fuck
I don't wanna be way shit out of luck
Please don't go to that house party
Just come to my show and hang out with me
It's fine by me, I guess i'll wait and see
When I go to university will you still call me?

Call It Quits

So I guess it's time to call it quits, time to grow up and get over it
The time we spent as friends, we'll never hang out like we did again
High school memories fade out like the final episode of Friends
Except this time i'll find out what happens in the end
And its hard to let go
Of everything you poured yourself into for three years
The records still remain and the memories with them will remind me that I had to grow up, I had to move on
Maybe i'll see you in seven years time, at a petrol station in the line
And we'll exchange just a glance, smile as we walk away
It's heartbreaking to say
But i'll miss things as they were and often think about what might have happened
If things worked out differently, if my ambition didn't get a hold of me
I wish things didn't have to change, the memories we shared will always remain
A piece of what we were, a piece of what we could have become
I'm sorry this is how it was

All That I Have

Last night you made a promise you couldn't and didn't want to keep.
You told me that when I wake up you'd be there lying next to me.
You said you wouldn't even wake me but I lay there for hours waiting
To see if you would walk in, and take the darkness away.
This headache ruins my dreams at night, you wouldn't understand.
The demons that you try to run from
Are the same feelings that you welcome with open arms.
And you try to forget any happiness you've ever felt
Could be magnified by ten if you just gave me a chance.
I cannot hide any longer behind the heat of the moment
I had nothing left to lose, now you're all that I have.
Once again I sacrificed myself
Tonight I wish I could be someone else.
There's nothing I can do to stop this sinking feeling
I fall deeper every time I rest my head

This week I've been feeling heavy,
Like the weight in my chest has come back again
My old friend in solitude has found it's way back to me
I took it for granted when it was around
But this feeling of helplessness has kept my feet up off the ground
I've never been anywhere where I felt more at home
Like I belong and I'm not alone
Up until now I gotten along with the people around me
But I never felt like I was wanted
In these short weeks I found a new way of living
and I hope I never forget the people that taught me to be me
Sitting with my eyes closed tight against the sun
By the benches on the concrete, my feet too tired to run
I've found all these new people but even when i'm surrounded
Sometimes I feel like i'm left alone
But I guess that's to be expected, after five years of just existing
I think i'll need some time to adjust because
But when you're living in the past you never move on
And I don't want to be that guy who only rises to fall
I've found myself a new place, somewhere I belong
I have to make the most of it, I won't be here for long
I guess i'll miss the people I left behind
I guess I miss the people I left behind
Living separate lives, it's hard to make time
I owe so much to my old friends, who put up with my shit
To help me get over it.
It looks like my friends just don't give a fuck
And I guess that i'm way shit out of luck
Please don't go to that house party just come to my show and hang out with me
It's fine by me, I guess i'll wait and see
When I go to university will you still call me?
It's hard to let go, of everything you put yourself into for three years
The records still remain and the memories with them will remind me that I had to grow up, I had to move on
Once again I sacrificed myself
Tonight I wish I could be someone else
This dead weight pulls at me I won't get any sleep tonight
All the things I cannot change keep running through my mind
Will one day come when I don't lose what I'm trying to find?
I just need to clear my head but it's too cold to go outside
