I can barely feel my heart I can barely feel my soul I can barely hear you telling me to take off all my clothes I can barely feel your touch I can barely feel the toll I can barely be of use to you when I don’t feel at home I wanna get up off this fuckin’ couch I wanna meet up just to watch it go south and I wanna see your stupid fuckin’ face representing every stupid fuckin’ dream I chase I just wanna hear your stupid fuckin’ laugh I just wanna make you smile, I just want something to last and I wanna hit you in your fuckin’ head last thing that you said is that I’m better off dead I can barely feel my heart I can barely feel my soul I can barely hear you telling me to take off all my clothes I can barely feel your touch I can barely feel the toll I can barely be of use to you when I don’t feel at home I can barely feel my heart I can barely feel my soul I can barely hear you telling me to take off all my clothes I can barely feel your touch I can barely feel the toll I can barely be of use to you when I don’t feel at home I wanna get away from all your problems I want you to find somebody else, somebody who can solve them wanna walk away from all this shit every time time I stay, I’m just a stupid fuckin’ bitch I just cannot find a way to fuckin’ leave all I wanna do is be able to breathe and I wanna leave you crying in the dust I can see it now, you just wanna fuckin’ fuck I can barely feel my heart I can barely feel my soul I can barely hear you telling me to take off all my clothes I can barely feel your touch I can barely feel the toll I can barely be of use to you when I don’t feel at home I can barely feel my heart I can barely feel my soul I can barely hear you telling me to take off all my clothes I can barely feel your touch I can barely feel the toll I can barely be of use to you when I don’t feel at home

I lost my mind for you… ‘pencil to paper’ is something i’m not very good at but I know that practice makes perfect thoughts in my head, that I can’t make sense of but I want you to know this, that practice makes perfect and when you look at me I freeze when you look at me I can’t speak and when you look at me I freeze when you look at me I- ‘pencil to paper’ is something i’m not very good at but I know that practice makes perfect thoughts in my head, that I can’t make sense of but I want you to know this, that practice makes per- fect!

the blacker the mood, the whiter the canvas the fuller the moon, the lesser the night so darken your shades, the knife in your hand is looking at you, but you’ll be alright just take off your clothes, and lie down in bed and stare at your phone to level your head and maybe I’ll never know how brittle your mind is but I might just go, ‘cause you’ll be alright no one knows what anyone is thinking not done, no ‘buts,’ you’re just uphill no one knows what anyone is thinking not done, no ‘buts,’ you’re just uphill and the longer the journey, the harder the drive home your skin might be burning, but the sunlight’s so bright and the birds are just chirping, they sing their song for you and someday you’ll listen, and they’ll help you fight! your bullets are silver, but your heart is gold (you’re sick of the questions but you will find answers) don’t burn all the pages before they unfold (you’re sick from the drugs but they fight off the cancer) I know you lack hobbies, and you just feel sorry (you’re sick of the questions but you will find answers) but don’t stop fighting, don’t do as you’re told (you’re sick from the drugs but they fight off the cancer) no one knows what anyone is thinking not done, no ‘buts,’ you’re just uphill no one knows what anyone is thinking not done, no ‘buts,’ you’re just uphill you’re sick of the questions but you will find answers you’re sick from the drugs but they fight off the cancer the blacker the mood, the whiter the canvas the blacker the mood, the whiter the canvas and the longer the journey, the harder the drive home and the longer the journey, the harder the drive home and maybe I’ll never know how brittle your mind is but I might just go, (‘cause you’ll be alright!) no one knows what anyone is thinking not done, no ‘buts,’ you’re just uphill no one knows what anyone is thinking not done, no ‘buts,’ you’re just uphill no one knows what anyone is thinking not done, no ‘buts,’ you’re just uphill no one knows what anyone is thinking (the blacker the mood, the whiter the canvas, the fuller the moon, the lesser the night) not done, no ‘buts,’ you’re just uphill (the blacker the mood, the whiter the canvas, the fuller the moon, the lesser the night) the blacker the mood, the whiter the canvas, the fuller the moon, the lesser the night the blacker the mood, the whiter the canvas, the fuller the moon, the lesser the night (thank you very much)
