Settle down
Why can’t you exhale and settle down?
Turn out the lights and be with me now
And be mine to hold
Be enough
Why can’t you just fucking be enough?
Take all that weight and you hold it up
And never let go
You go write it out
What you crying ‘bout
You got all those eyes on you
Let that anger out
Who you blaming now
When that guilt does the thinking for you?
And you hold on
And you hold on
And you can’t get a grip so you dig in your nails
And you roll up your sleeves and you hope that it fails
‘Cause you’ve tried everything and you don’t want to try anymore
You go write it out
What you crying ‘bout
You got all those eyes on you
Let that anger out
Who you blaming now
When that guilt does the thinking for you?
And there ain’t enough shit I could do to break through
And there ain’t enough blood I could bleed out for you
You’re a bottomless pit I keep falling into
Your insufferable split-personality blues
Settle down
Why can’t you settle down
Why can’t you

All My Wars
Rest your head, oh weary boy How you rob yourself of joy You ain’t cut like all the rest How you give away your breath Well I’ll be somebody in my own time …
Cursive
I don’t like the world quite the way that it is So I keep talking about all the things you won’t fix I’m impatient, a rock in the mud Truth is change …
Downstairs
I don’t wanna sing I don’t wanna write I don’t wanna speak I don’t wanna fight I just wanna drift away downstairs I don’t wanna breathe …
Everlasting
Being honest just got you in trouble So your mind is liquor and rubble And in all of your lonely spaces Sits attractive, irrational thinking Like why can’t you just …
