lyrics

I'm not much one for sleep anymore,
I'll spend most of my days in a room behind a locked door.
All my records scatter out across the floor,
The Devil and God will Rage in me just a little bit more.
I found The Upsides to this staying up late.
But Dan and Jessie knew more how I feel
Than I know about me.
One last move and I'll fall into obscurity,
Just wish you all could see this side of me.

Stay at home, or be late for class?
Late nights of no sleep, it don't exactly counteract.
A long day, it's circumstantial.
You're tearing at the seams, ripping open your own mentals

This inconsistency is wrecking my head,
While I'm stuck at home just staying in bed.
Call it what you want but I see the problem here.
"I feel the same ways that I do every year."
I do every year.

Thought I'd move away, and try to get some time alone,
Build your head around made up loves and houses turn home.
Lights are on but no ones ever really there,
Cracked walls will leak my own enamored self-despair.

Broken dreams,
Were the safest thing.

I knew my "if's" were "no's" more than it actually seemed.
Let me go, and I'll be fine.
I'll come back with this self-appointed peace of mind.

But what happens when the reds and blues go away?
You'll leave me more green than I've ever wanted to stay.
Lost cause, lost hope, lost everything,
I'd give everything just to feel anything.
To feel anything.
To feel anything.
To feel anything.
I just wanna feel something.

This pain isn't going away, it gets much worse every day.
This pain isn't going away, it gets much worse every day when you're,
Sleeping in after staying up late.
It'd be great if I get to sleep,
But I'm just running away from everything,
That'll make me...
Who I am and what I needed to be right now for you.
And who am I but this worn out joke,
The lack of consistency at 20 years old.
Who needs to get more sleep,
Instead of staying up,
Just to tweet.
This pain isn't going away, it gets much worse every day
This pain isn't going away, it gets much worse every day...

If you could give me one more chance,
I'll let you see.
I can be more than just this,
Random Circumstance.
