Into Oblivion

breathe in,
into oblivion,
don't hold your breath for too long,
the water leaks into your lungs,
just let it out it's okay,
no time,
just enough to get a grip back on your mind, your own business I'll be fine,
just sinking under the wake, up tomorrow far too late,
by then this pain should subside, secede,
from my mind and all the things that I don't need,
I'll never need,
stay away from me,
just let me be,
by then this pain should subside, secede,
from my mind and all the things that I don't,

Memory Box

it never fails to slip my mind,
I always lose my train of thought,
wish I could remember she said keep it in a memory box,
raking over the ashes,
and they're just ashes to me,
I'll watch them blow away into the breeze,
why can't I remember just what happened to me?,
did I miss my turn? did I fall asleep?,
resting under the ashes,
and they're still ashes to me,
I'll watch them float away into the sea,
Well my heartbeat's not too loud,
cause I can't hear the sound,
I am barely breathing,
when I remember,
what she said not to forget,
keep it in a box, not inside your head,
the temperature drops, dimming the lights,
no time for a down memory of the night,
some things too real to come out and say,
I forget too soon and they slip away,
those things I choose to say I pretend,
that they are what make me who I am,
but that's not who I am,
I lie to myself and I lie to my friends
remember not,
memory box (keep it in a memory box)
it never fails to slip my mind,
I always lose my train of thought,
wish I could remember she said keep it in a memory box,
raking over the ashes,
and they're still ashes to me,
I'll watch them float away into the sea.

last night we went swimming,
down by lake shore,
cracked your head in the riptide,
washed up in Singapore,

heard you like Sig Shore,
Superfly after dinner,
peppermint encore,
let's go!
fuck yeah!
alright!
yeahhh!

only slept three nights last week,
sleepless nights grinding through my teeth,
though I don't care,
can't say I'm not scared,
tired of feeling incomplete,
I am a puzzle missing one piece,
that should go there,
it won't fit anywhere
said I can't go to sleep here,
I won't waste my time,
eyes are bloodshot, body's week,
it's still no case for getting sleep,
forgetting to sleep,
brain and body shutting down,
I think I'll lay down on the ground,
you can step over me if you need anything,
said can I go to sleep here?,
will I waste my time?,
quit telling myself it's not fair,
I won't waste my time,
won't be sleeping in,
well we never went to bed,
and woke up too late,
well it hurts my head,
well it hurts my head,
said I can't go to sleep here,
we won't waste our time,
quit telling ourselves we're not scared,
we won't waste our time,
we will not waste our time,

What'd you do with the body?,
drove it into the desert,
dug a grave just deep enough,
just lay here rest forever,
nobody save me,
I want to feel helpless,
naked and lazy,
stranded and hopeless,
hope they don't figure it out,
it's not worth their time,
it's an unsolved crime,
I think I made a mistake,
what have I done?,
searching for those four words,
I will not succumb,
your grave was shoddy,
would've sunk in the water,
had you listened to me,
they would not have found her,
dried up and pasty,
deprived of all her,
feelings of anguish,
love and lust and hunger,
well they figured it out,
they solved the crime,
talk of the town,
oh god I made a mistake,
what have I done,
searching for those four words,
I will not succumb,

though she's not alone,
she can't find a friend,
keeps all the windows shut,
doesn't let anyone in,
it's not easy when,
you share the difference,
it's hard to pretend,
gets hard to pretend,
that you won't find out,
they're not like you,
rather keep to yourself, keep cool,
only they'll find out,
they don't like you,
rather keep to themselves, tell you,
that you're not alone,
and that you can find a friend,
when they called you up last week,
said you'd brought it to an end,
you don't need anything,
to make you feel you're making perfect sense,
cause you'll just take anything and everything that you can get,
an arrow through the heart,
bullet in the chest,
you see everything like there's nothing left,
and you'll find the worst in the very best,
you could have it all but you'll just pretend,
you are not alone,
you can just pretend,
you are all alone,
you are not alone,

Feels Like Death

when they break your teeth,
blacked out your eyes,
you can go to sleep,
dream in disguise,
and it feels just like 2001,
and the future then's now passed and gone,
I look older now,
I feel just fine,
pass a drink my way,
I'll drink to pass the time,
well I do my best,
it seems I try to hard,
it just feels like death,
and it leaves a scar,
well it feels like death,
when there's nothing left,
try to speak the words under your breath,
and it feels like death,
