Broken bottle smashed on the wall Fan Fiction that nobody saw Try to get up but then I fall I'm White Trash, yeah Only have a few relatives Alone with benefits I live Plan on having too many kids Odor of must, stained Cheeto dust Old pajamas stolen from Goodwill Only four teeth, not quite obese Diet of cheese and stool softening pills Plethora of guns that I shine Take pictures of and post them online Got some sharp pains in my spine Try to get up off of the floor Smoke outside the hardware store I could wake the dead with my snore

I wanna die with you, and live inside an old cartoon It's probably for the best that I'm gonna be gone soon Buy all the balloons, confetti on this June day And I'll paint the afternoon If you say it enough, maybe it will come true, at least that's what I tell myself Why should I think about me when I can think of you? A secret that I'll never tell I won't remember it now, but now it's just as well, over-staffed and empty room i feel the absence of time, as all this time will prove I apologize for living in my eyes i never imagined that a problem would arise But after all we lose, I'll still think of that June day And I'll paint the afternoon
4.
Do you ever feel insignificant, written on your birth certificate Were you promised more than life could give, but never got the same incentive Now you have the chance to change it, I've got a little something to admit What used to be a land of green has turned into a crime scene Crime scene, I'll swear that I'll be clean, now you've gotta try your hardest to get me Crime scene, i wanna live a dream, but I know that you will never let me I've got nothing left to lose Crime scene, i wanna live a dream, but I know that you will never let me Tell all of your friends and bring them here, I heard that it makes them disappear No, that's all conjecture, it's just fate People will find stories to fabricate Look in the reflection, and think about the face you want to see, and then slowly gait into yourself I'll see you on the other side, I'll see you on the other side That's what friends are for, to make you feel insecure, and I hope we'll be friends forever And don't question it, it's for your benefit, and this time I hope you'll surrender That's what friends are for, to make you feel insecure, and I know we'll be friends forever And don't question it, it's for your benefit, and this time I know you'll surrender
5.
It's Friday night, we're both alone If you only knew what I have known And I keep checking up on you to see what you have turned into And you keep checking up on me And I keep looking down on you, if only you knew what I knew And you keep looking up to me Maybe we should kill some time
6.
Do you know what it's like to be in outer space You put your left hand in, and then you put your face Then you fall right out, and grab onto the ledge And you try to hold on, you play Simon Sez A stupid life isn't something I need And it's alright if it never happens to me Pain au chocolat and a cup of tea I'm never letting go, collecting G.I. Joe You eat so that you grow, never letting go I'm never letting go, the trees are indigo Elope to Mexico, never letting go Now the aliens are starting to attack They shoot off my right hand, I drive a Cadillac It gets REALLY tough just to hold on But then I remember the name of this song!1
7.
Come over, and I'll bake you a cake So I thought that I would get a taste But oh, I was wrong, before I knew it, it was gone Devoured right in front of my face and of the pieces, I got none But don't get sentimental on me now, next time you're here I'm sure we'll make it clear but don't get sentimental on me now Take out your stress, next time we'll save the rest, but don't get sentimental on me now Go back home and spend the night alone Dream of having an ice cream cone I go to the store, but their supply is running short They only have the red velvet kind, and I'm allergic to the dye

Ooh, The mirror of youth You've got to walk right through, and get to a room where you find two skulls One of them's red and the other's blue, you've got to remove There was a short, kind of stubby guy that disappeared a couple days back (A couple days back) He had some dyed green hair, i think he might have gone out for a snack (out for a snack) Walking forward so happily, if he can even walk himself at all And when your insecurities rise, everything around you starts to fall He had to know that something was wrong when they shut down that old school years ago What a way to go There was a gaunt 25 year old that disappeared a couple days back (A couple days back) He had a history of crime, he was caught once selling some crack (selling some crack) Both these unexplained mysteries have happened almost overnight, it seems Even with the sources we have, I still can't see them as reality In the circumstances we have, there's no choice but to listen to insanity It's not a fantasy
10.
I'm living inside a cassette I rewind because i nearly forget What everybody said when i told them i would be alright, i could feel regret I play it back every night Oh disease, oh why should i fight I'm only 25 and i feel like I'm approaching the last years of my life But it's not over yet, it's my mind that keeps me inside of a cassette That's what I said, you're alive and that's not something to forget That's what I said, so don't worry about something that you said That's what I said, it's my mind that keeps me inside of a cassette I'm too stupid to get anywhere I live in my car with nothing to wear And people are too patient with me as I destroy my life and I just don't care Sometimes I plan suicide I did cocaine till my brain was fried I lit a candle on both ends and now I'm waiting for the flames to collide
11.
What are you gonna do after you're finished school Your life is carved out in stone, your grave will be ready soon And there's no such thing as living in the present, because your future's here to blow out your skull Put yourself in my shoes, and then walk ahead of me Now you've got me confused, you're better than me And there's no sense in regurgitating information, but it's just what we do It gets better, you're reassured, but everyday is a chore You studied but didn't learn, your absence is no concern And there's no such thing as learning from mistakes Because your accomplishments will all be erased The future is the biggest genocide, and if you're here you better hide They pick the ones that matter, then you're through You know who it's gonna be, and it's not you
12.
Living under paperweight I went to the drug store the other day My card was declined, so I put some money down She said "you don't have quite enough for these" I guess they just don't care about my disease There's nothing that I can do, there's nothing that I can change I'll still be 65 with 20 cents to my name i'll still be wondering how am I gonna get to this place So why is life feeling like a never-ending headache Put yourself in this situation You're free of judgement or validation Anything that your heart desires Underneath all those railroad fires So I've been thinking a lot, and I just wanted to ask, what is it that I should be I built a building that went to outer space just to get away from everybody I move my mouth way too much, but when it comes to a crowd, I get about 4 or 5 Of all the things that the world doesn't supply, it gives you lots of ways to die I'm feeling things I've never felt before Addressing issues is what cures your pain But lonely me, I couldn't bring myself to face my qualms and overcome the shame I'm the last person I ever wanted to be I'm feeling things I've never felt before Your blood's contaminated, that's for sure As thick as water in an empty space I've waited and I've waited for a new escape I'm the last person I ever wanted to be Living under paperweight Oh, it's about time that life began to feel good I think we all agree we need more than this Oh, it's about time that life began to feel good It's about time
13.
My Twin Sister and I are bonded by time But she goes off in the night and I don't know why She ran to the abandoned school, and I don't know why And suddenly she walked right through The Mirror of Youth I knew she would fall for this, and now she's gone through A portal to a world where your dreams come true People have been disappearing and now I know why Bonded by time, my twin sister and I Grab the compass on the wall, it leads me to the echo falls Plants will die and creatures pass, a world that's ruled by overcast The gates close behind me, and there's no way back A yellow creature now approaches me, and it starts to attack Was this somebody before it became a miscreation of hostility I've got to run away I stand here at echo falls, and I find my twin She's planted right at the top, about to jump in Sister of neglect, I know you, and if you follow through You'll become one of the beasts between the red and blue
14.
I'm a bit hopeless, I'll always just be broke I know you loved me, but love is just a joke I'm bad luck, evil, a faulty roll of dice Always ignoring the same old advice Nobody's happy whenever I'm around I'm glad you found me buried in the ground You're always welcome, you know I can't go wrong I don't want to keep a tragedy prolonged
15.
I've seen some major disturbances from the school This vacancy can't be coincidence, I see so few And soon there will be nothing left of us, as flowers die and creatures pass A world that's ruled by overcast And don't expect from me what you can't do yourself From what I see, I've seen attacks that show up on your skin It doesn't matter what you feel, you've just got to admit This is not a fantasy I've got a twin, but she vanishes into the night And no one believes me or wants to hear, but that's alright And every time she goes out, there's a sudden crash and a beam opf light It comes alive But nobody else seems to know
16.
Sometimes I get the feeling everybody hates me And every time I go outside someone berates me No matter where I go I end up feeling lonely And people write me off before they even know me I think I blew it, I think I blew it I think I knew it, I think I knew it I'm looking through it, but I don't see anything But you keep proving it, proving it, prove it, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Everyone around me has their life together I really wish that I could tell you I feel better The future's gonna be real bleak, I guarantee it And I just wanna die so I don't have to see it I think I blew it, I think I blew it I think I knew it, I think I knew it I'm looking through it, but I don't see anything But you keep proving it, proving it, prove it, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I think I blew it, I think I blew it I think I knew it, I think I knew it I'm looking through it, but I don't see anything But you keep doing it, doing it, do it, yeah yeah yeah I think I'm losing my mind again, but it's not like last time This time I think it might never come back, And this time I think I'm alright with that I'll never be anything

Next time we're in town, will you come around, Bossa nova I want you to know, if you're feeling low, Bossa nova The feeling will pass, we'll see you in class, Bossa nova We'll give you a break, that's all you can take, Bossa Nova It's not your fault you didn't like to walk around so late at night We won't bother you anymore He's a wallflower, i knew we shouldn't have brought him How were we supposed to know that you were so vulnerable Wallflower, you're better off at home Now we're out of luck, we need 50 bucks, Bossa Nova As soon as you can, and now and again, Bossa nova It's alright
19.
Twenty minutes left, I don't know what to do, i'll settle this once and for all I saved up all my money, now I'm going through with it, and not just talking to a wall I'm going on a fifteen hour drive just to see a face I saw in the night But then i felt perpetual sunrise, the dream has come to life and invaded the flight I saw you last night, and if we got along then, maybe we could in real life I saw you last night, and I said I wouldn't care, but i think that I might If I could only get to know you, but I am so far down below you, I saw you last night The mirror is destroyed and the people are saved, but something still needs to be done Distance isn't measured in literal terms, but in time it equates to the sum It's been a year, and see what we've done now, despite being told we've got nothing to say And all that I can say is that I know that even though you're gone, you're far from away I can't move on, maybe I just didn't love you as much as I though I'll try to make it better, I'll stay this way forever
