It's about time to try and find something new It's about time I at least attempt to get it right Everyone whines all the time about everything Every second of every day and every night It's about time to try and actually give a damn It's about time we walk upright for a change Everyone's falling overboard constantly Accepting defeat almost seems dumb and deranged We broke the glass together Don't blame me for the weather Mediocrity in love with fallacy Mistakes in line with me It's about time we unify our anger And throw it out together hand in hand It's about time we put out the fire It's about time we dig our heads out of the sand It's about time to try and find something new It's about time I at least attempt to get it right Someday I'm sure we will be better Someday I'm sure we will not fight

Gravitas, sweet boy Swill away your sunken heart Try to find lost joy When light of day becomes dark White out The heart inside my chest It is escaping It goes and leaves me dead On the floor A temporary shred that holds no weight In anything But lore Something else that I know, She does not sleep well Anger and jealousy Break the back and swell Heart out But her summer dress is so appealing! Burning all my best Sunday wear I should have merely guessed I'm irrelevant But she won't seem to care

Letters 05:41
Last year, I wrote a love song for you About the slow decline into my substance abuse I thought I was being sweet We thought our lives were over There was hardly a night where I was clean and sober But I had just turned 21, I thought I was having my fun Fast forward five months, I thought that I was dying I can never erase the sound of your soft crying I don't wanna be sick anymore I miss the photo booth pictures by our door I guess I should put it in a letter I guess I should put it in a letter Is this just the way it ends? I guess I should put it in a letter Censoring my own attempts to create, I've only made a bunch of stupid shit that I hate And I'm working too much, but not nearly enough Sometimes I think that I'm whining and that my life's not so tough Understanding my own predicament Is seemingly a task for which I'm not fit A bird flies at not so that she isn't seen So simply done, her essence truly is free Dive right into the river head first Swim down deeper than the other side of Earth And I'll send what I find you in a letter I'll send what I find you in a letter This won't be the way it ends I'll send what I find you in a letter I'll take a snapshot of where I'm at And hopefully that will be that I'm under the pressure of the Earth But I understand what it's worth 'Cause I won't have to send you any letters I won't have to send you any letters I hope it will never end I won't have to send you any letters

We've never been so close I'm up again "It's never been so sad" Coming from my best friend I can't live I can't live In mediocrity; with this complacency You've never seemed so far She's up again Settling in our first front yard I'm staying in I can't live I can't live In mediocrity; with this complacency How many trips to the woods Until our memories cease to be? And when I get back, will your pain Still find me? Leave it in the past and let it go So long
