breathe right
02:50

id like to feel a suntan
and the wind on my skin
the buildings block out the sky
ill never breathe right again
dont
you stay
awake
i spend most of my time
behind the doors and walls
ill look out a window sometimes
and enjoy the nothing at all
you know what you did you know that i know that you
i light lots of these candles
theyre all that glow in this room
one day ill knock one over
that could never come by too soon
i like to play pretender
and act like its me instead
sometimes i think about it too hard
it messes with my head
its ok friend i forgive you
for most of what you've done
all thats left behind us
i guess you could say that you won
theres nothing else you could do
that wouldve hurt me any more
all thats left behind us
i guess you could say that you won

ghosts in your body

feeling small
sometimes its all you can process
take your time
dont rush progress
you stood in line
and im proud of you for that
you went outside
when the world was only bad
there are ghosts in your body
that only you know about
dont let people say they know better
those you can do without
there are tracks left on your brain
and all you can do
is stay haunted

were we getting tired or did i just want to throw

we dont know whats best for each other well never get that chance that chance
realizing its all been left behind makes me wanna makes me wanna dance
i turned our radio station the one you liked the one you liked
hollow earth radio better represents my mind than our lives
im asking you to be honest here
do i come across your mind come across your mind
id erase you from mine. eternal sunshine of the spotless mind i've come to find all of the time. id be better off if our star never shined.

idea machine how do you plead
i got messed up in your own dream
idea machine where have you been
if and when ive been absent
ive been noticing that you've been noticing that we've been been apart for way too long
not a fan of your pointy edges but im gonna need your help to write this song
finding a way out's never been my strong suit but i think this time it fits me well
if only i had a brain who'd agree to sit down and let me dwell
its been just a week and fourteen hours but whod take the time to count that slow
ive been waiting for you to strike but lightning isnt timed i know
forgetting how to write or sing or dance or do anything isnt that common
but i feel like its maybe just the problem i face most often
oh [name redacted] the kindest words you said to me
were that. you believed. you saw the good i could be
and it
never mattered if i
didnt write
and it never came to
any sleepless nights
oh oh oh
[name redacted]
idea machine how do you plead
i got messed up in your own dream
idea machine where have you been
if and when ive been absent

id like to meet you some time
we could go out late at night
and fight
whatever we like
we could call it coop mode
heal each other when we get too bold
face a foe
or so im told
i dont know how its been said
but i think that youre my best friend
bookends
this is how we met
and i hope we stay in touch
but i could ask for too much
just a hunch
but youre the judge

theres some place im supposed to be to be to be to be
im not ready to go so ill stay in bed and remember to breathe
i forget things the most i cant remember how to leave
id ask for your assistance but you remind me too much of me
show me your favorite song ill show you mine we'll get along
how long have you gone on without a friend whos done you wrong
thats where they always get you theyre always watching youre never there
maybe one of these times youll get to say how much you care
rockstar on the desk and 4 on the clock its
late again but im just not
ive got things in my head ive got to get out
could you say the same or would you live with doubt
your chatbot is roulette that i love to spin
are we cool today can i come in
stability has never meant much
but id like to know if we could keep in touch

unfocus

unfocus your eyes
look up at the sky
unfocus your eyes
look into mine
unfocus your eyes see the clouds move by
have you ever thought about where the
dirt youll be buried under comes from
thats where youll find what made you
and if it likes what you do
look out your window youll see it
drifting along the street you could meet it
ask it where its headed to
if youre lucky it might even tell
unfocus your eyes
look up at the sky
sharkboy and lava girl and all of the rest
had it right they knew you best
when you liked what they did even though its a screen
they could tell your heart was good and they knew what you mean
when you said that you didnt belong to anyone
they knew what you meant you werent having fun
and it wasnt your fault they said you were born wrong
and all you could do was maybe respond

we keep sending the wrong people to space
its not a place to live or a fucking race
its a national park for everyone to share
and a post balding technocrat thinks its fair
to trade in emeralds for a one way ticket
buy his way outside the social exhibit
spending money is always gonna be more fun
we're gonna launch you into the sun
dont worry mister we'll send you a night
our scientists are super bright
just be sure to bring sunglasses
im sure you got a's in all of your classes
if we had it my way everyone could go
as long as you returned to the earth below
or maybe you could stay as long as you promised
to not remind us of how long we've wanted this
and someday soon we'll make it there
and come back with the stars in our hair
but heading out will always be better
im gonna be replaced with a letter
dont worry folks its not that bad
theres a lot to see that we have never had
just be sure to bring sunglasses
or maybe pretend we've never had to ask this
be honest have you ever thought about it
we can go to space and people dont have houses
there's an emerald mine with blood on its sneakers
one of many folk who havent given your yours
dont worry sir taxation isnt coming
but something tells me you should start running
cause if there's gonna be a verb thrown at you
taxation is the nicest one we could do
