Mason Jar 03:31
I wanna sit up late at night and talk about Paramore and all they're good for and all the times that you and I should have been together I wanna hear your frantic heartbeat and we'll play guitar and share our scars and we'll sit back and dream about lights and stages and screams but that will never happen 'cause you're still stuck on her and I'm suffocating on the burden left from her in fact I'm sure we could be like Hayley & Chad and bring the love back to this cold small town but that'll never happen if she's around i wanna play shows together and we'll cover songs and lead singsongs and we'll both travel the world and we'll be far apart but I'll still feel your heart I wanna hear you on the radio and I'll hear my eyes in almost every rhyme and we'll sit back and laugh at all the times we clicked and just ignored it she's got your heart in a jar on a shelf and she's not gonna smash it anytime soon no matter how hard I try all there will ever be is forced optimism and coulda beens (all I have left is the gift of empty giving the only hand I can hold is the one letting me go these jagged cliffs of love & myths are sending my soul to sea the only home I have left is the emptiness within me)

Chemicals 04:21
I lost myself among divinity we do not actually exist for you all my thoughts are chemicals all my wisdom is in cells i am an imbalance in the empty space between my cells say hello to seratonin she's gonna be the death of me throwing my humanity in the flame just to make me think i'm happy what is the molecular compound of passion what is the chemical makeup of love why do i know that I am alive why do my thoughts break down to chemicals all my pain is in a pill my flaws are biodegradable i am an imbalance in the empty space between my cells i'd like you to meet lithium please remember his goddamn name he's as much of me as my identity cause he's the one that causes this pain to scrape cells upon cells to create sentences impulses firing and cells straining to assemble a portable spark in you inside your tangle of bones and sinew we are all just molecules all of your pain is in your cells and inside your atoms is empty space a gap to flood with chemicals we do not actually exist for you

I told myself I'd never write another song like this But forever never sticks to you the soul of a dreamer locked in the body of an invalid your incompetence is the only thing in your way hiding in the shadows armed with second guesses but a broken arrow will fall regardless of aim I found a way to drown all these flaws in the passion I've known for so long and I'm sorry but you're not my answer and I'm sorry, but you're not coming with So leave your demons behind So maybe I have got some ground to cover If I've got a mile you've got yourself a mountain I'm tired of selling you the cracks in my soul just for you to throw them back in my face tell me they're too damn shallow

it took a decade to fall in love with you ten years of angst & theatrics too busy trying to pin ourselves down to see the worth in each other's scars flashback to our dreams and we're living it the summer we threw our lives away but we're gonna change the world and if I die in the stage light I'll die glad I took a chance on you I'm really messed up but I think that you are too from 19 years of ignoring this digging up bounties we should have found before our eyes were filled with these stars who's sick joke is this to crash us together and tear us apart like waves on the ramparts of teenage hate again and again until we opened our hearts gates

I don't need the apocalypse I'm already surrounded by zombies the walking dead wearing suits instead Is it me? Or is this fate just as gruesome if we leave fast enough maybe we can outrun the infection I'd rather eat flesh than the bullshit you're feeding quit being distracting and misleading i'll finally hold my head up and hope to hell that I'll never see this town again keep your head down these cement towers have us thinking smaller picture maybe it's not this state and just this state of mind either way, we're both well aware if i could afford the gas I'd be gone and waving goodbye to this city skyline with my middle finger out the window i'll finally blast my stereo and drive like hell so I'll never see this town again keeping our eyes on our meaningless lives life change this exit it's about goddamn time

you've cast me as the villain which is fine you need someone to take the fall for your mistakes but you've taken his side which is fine but I'm the one that was ripped to pieces I read a letter to myself one year ago before he shattered the semblance I was of whole you don't agree with my decisions honey, that's why they're mine be careful with your incisions because the line blurs suddenly between you and I i've spent my whole life in sorry which is fine but this time I won't take the fall for your flaws I said I was wrong when I wasn't which is fine but I won't eat shit for you not this time you're blind in one eye you see in black and white i handed him my heart on a platter dressed, carved and ready for him to devour i think he'd rather watch it rot and claim that holes in chests are works of art I loved him, and he asked me to wait. I realized you're just as alone as I.
