today i never got out of my house oh, i just sat around trying to work out what i gotta do and how i'm gonna do it but it doesn't really matter cuz i already blew it away today already feels like yesterday and i'm not ready for tomorrow i'm just sitting in my dorm still looking for distractions while my roommate is out late, overcome by my inaction there's a party across the hall and the promised not to drink, but now burke is in the bathroom with his head in the sink and i lost my card again that i needed to get in, i think there's vomit on the floor but it smells just like the kitchen and my friends invited me to hangout at the bar, but i know i'm way to sober to get myself that far away from today. already feels like yesterday and i'm not ready for tomorrow WOOOOO and i had a redbull for breakfast and i'm sleeping in my jeans gotta get through this week by whatever means oh things are falling through, gotta reach and pull em' out oh i don't what to do because i'm so in doubt! and you, can you hear me? i'm reeling on the things that I never thought I'd say, and I'm giving up on shame because no one listens anyway and god, I am listening. won't you tear apart the things that I've always held dear? if you're looking for the traitor you'll find him right here oh i'm running out of patience i'm giving in to pain, oh i'm losing all my friends because nothing matters anyway! today i never got out of my house oh, i just sat around trying to work out what i gotta do and how i'm gonna do it but it doesn't really matter cuz i already blew it

Birthday 02:37
you are terrified of everything you've left behind and everything that you are gonna be you have given up on everyone that you look up to and probably even your own family as you, standing in the bathroom, with your body bath & shoulders and it shows your getting older as you look right into the mirror but the person looking back doesn't look like you anymore and we never realized but everything you were occupied with was nothing more than a blank screen on your phone and you always tried to hide it, yet get constantly reminded you always take the long way home, just for two minutes of the same song in a honda civic accord with just a charger and an aux cord for soon you might have to get bored in a coffin you could lay in, oh maybe you should have stayed inside and you're stressing over little things and pulling inconsistencies apart fighting with your memories and pushing all of your daisies to heart letters always start with "dear," and postcards say "wish you were here!" it seems, same things always reappear but you can never disappear from me and you. Maybe we're the same ghost and I'm just standing in the background like a sister or a spellbound to you. Or maybe we're not the same, but there's a light on in the bathroom and i know we share the same birthday.
