waste of space
03:25

|
up and down
left and right
back and forth
day and night
inside, outside my periphery
incapable and paralyzed
broken up but satisfied
expectations never meant a thing
but i didn’t always feel this way,
lots of doubt to dissipate
and slowly disappear out of the frame
i may as well be erased
from existence, gone away
and everything around would stay the same
even the expression on my face
cause i have been so easily replaced
you’ve unintentionally
put your feelings on display
i know that i am such a waste of space
i could stare into your eyes
for the rest of my whole life
bright and blue and wonderfully alive
but you kept looking away
so everything could see your gaze
everything and everyone but me
but we carried on into the night
and i thought you seemed to like
all the stupid things that i would say
but then you got up and said you need to crash
and then you ran away without ever looking back
and i sat watching helplessly in vain
with a sad expression on my face
cause i have been so easily erased
you unintentionally put your feelings on display
i know that i am such a waste of space
you left me all alone under an awning in the rain
i know that i am such a waste of space
then it starts over again
but i don’t learn from anything
that’s why I’m repeatedly displaced
i’ll get right eventually
is what i tell myself to keep on
keeping on but i don’t change a thing
even the expression on my face
cause i can’t hide my scars and cuts and scrapes
i unintentionally put my feelings on display
i know that i am such a waste of space
every time i see the disappointment in their face
i know that i am such a waste of space

so quickly betrayed
02:25
|
|||
|
i tried to move past you
and get out of your way
but you pulled me back to you
and you begged me to stay
then immediately left me
so quickly betrayed
and a little more broken
but still on my feet
until you returned and
pushed me down to my knees
then you quickly revealed that
you didn't care about me
and i begged for your forgiveness
even though it was me who wanted an answer
(woah oh)
but you kept reaching out
and teasing you'd stay
you just wanted to come over
to use all my things
it's always been about you
and all of your needs
and i begged for your forgiveness
even though it was me who wanted an answer
(woah oh)
but i don't wanna wait for you to grow up
for you to change

boiler room (the song)

i’m gonna give it up tonight
i can’t even though it’s hard to deny
so pathetic and awful I might
carry on this way the rest of my life
it’s a shame woah oh
i’m to blame woah oh
and you’d think that i like it
i’ve never been fond of the taste
i call every day
it’s never the same except the end
all alone universes away
you don’t ever, you never reply
you just wanted to feel like that you’re liked
and i’m always happy to oblige
and it’s been this way for my whole life
it’s a shame woah oh
i’m to blame woah oh
and you’d think that i like it
i’ve never been fond of the taste
i call every day
It’s never the same except the end
all alone universes away
i never want to feel this way
i know i don’t have the strength or the nerve or the brains to make a change
that’s why it stays the same
i don’t want to believe it i just want to believe it’s just today
but the days add up
now i look in the mirror and i don’t even recognize my face
but it’s not too late but it doesn’t change that i keep on repeating everything

how like life
02:37
|

i found a way, a way to find you
when i wasn’t even looking for you
how like life it’s when i give up
hoping and thinking that i know things
realizing i don’t know anything
i don’t know what i know i should give up
you make me feel like i’m much smarter
than i am for trying harder
and ending up where you can pick me out
i took so many turns i’m where i started
but i’m older and thinner and broken hearted
but i can’t go on and live my life this way
a collision course with the hands of fate
but i think you’re the one that i needed all along (along, along)
i found a way, a way to find you
and i can barely recognize you
complimenting me and coaxing
out these desires that i harbor
embarrassing most and pushing me further
away from anyone who gives their time
you make me feel like i’m much smarter
than i am for trying harder
and ending up where you can pick me out
i took so many turns i’m where i started
but i’m older and thinner and broken hearted
but i can’t go on and live my life this way
a collision course with the hands of fate
but i think you’re the one that i needed all along (all along)
but i won’t get ahead, these things tend to swing
like a pendulum in a clock that sings at all the wrong times
but no one knows the song (the song, the song)
