i'm so tired of it all

dont go to bed
dont fall asleep
your eyelids aren't heavy yet anyway
there's things to see
you've missed it all
you're wasted, gone
don't worry about it all
i'm so tired of it all.

i cant stand you sometimes in my bedroom at night
wondering why i keep on running when i don't wanna fight
and if you do this once more i think i'll sink through the floor
theres nothing quite like hating all the parts of me i adore
striped sweater, candy cane
hanging with the broken brains
running with their fingers frayed from playing games to keep them sane
quiet eyes who never cry
waiting for midnight
if you don't close your eyes tonight the ghosts inside you never die
walking home from the playground
trace the mud on the floor
you said “don't worry ‘bout your friends, cuz you don't need them no more”
i cant feel my hands and fingers, could you please close the door?
i cant feel my hands and fingers like i used to before
striped sweater, candy cane
hanging with the broken brains
running with their fingers frayed from playing games to keep them sane
blue eyes, you never die
eating up my insides
it’s okay
you never try
you can close your eyes tonight

they buried ur body next to mine
i'm not sure why
the moon was hiding behind the clouds
and tears fell from their eyes
i'm not sure if it's true what they say
i'm not sure if it's worth it anyway
cuz there's something about the silence
that makes me wish i could've stayed
so now we're lying in the floor
there's nothing left of us anymore
just a couple of empty bodies sinking into earth's core
i wanna see the life left in your eyes
i wanna feel your fingers between mine
but we just lay there forever
we'll just lie here forever

we’re still growing tall
pictures on the walls
you don't look happy
you don’t look at all
fingers in the grass
tie dye t-shirt on
standing on the playground
i don't feel so small
(i'm still pretty small)
i don’t want things to change
(going away, we’re going away)
but i’m old enough to know now
things never stay
we’re still growing tall
(i miss my doggy)
pictures on the walls
(raincoat, froggy)
you don't look happy
(what happened to the days when)
you don’t look at all
(i didn’t need medicine)
fingers in the snow
(we’re still freezing)
christmas lights that glow
(my body is healing)
standing in my backyard
(black shoes and white keys)
i don’t want to go
(my body’s against me)
i don’t want things to change
(going away, we’re going away)
but i’m old enough to know now
things never stay
i want to be okay
(going away, we’re going away)
but i’m old enough to know now
things never stay

the leaves are falling down like they do every year
yet somehow it surprises me how winter grows near
and every day when i walk home and feel the breeze on my face
i know we’re just a speck of stardust and we’re floating through space
and that's a pretty crazy thought but honestly i don't mind
its kinda comforting to know that we don't have too much time
and now the clock is ticking onwards and the night turns to day
we’re only given so much time until the stars go away
id leave a letter at your door for you to read when you get home
but that seems kinda scary so i’ll call u on the phone
but ur voice it makes me queasy and i don’t understand
so i guess i’ll type some words for you with my freezing hands
i guess it takes away the meaning of anything great
because my texts can't really compensate for october’s grace
and when the night is finally over and the leaves are all gone
you can take some time to think and i can write another song
i’ll admit the thought of holding u seems pretty nice
so let’s just hold on to the fact that maybe things’ll be alright
but the truth is things probably aren’t gonna be that way
and that’s okay cuz really all i want’s for you to be okay.
i’d love for you to find a person you can talk to
and i’d love for me to be that person right next to you
but also i don’t mind if that person is someone new
cuz you know that if you’re happy, well then i’m happy too.

stars are so damn far away, i wish that we could float through space and hold onto the light until my arms turn to flames. find me in a place wrapped in rings of ice and slate, and when my body falls apart, just let it drift away.
cuz bodies are a gentle crutch, when all we do is see and touch, i hope you never forget that your colors came from something such as pink that breathes and tan that bleeds and wings that you and i can’t see and words that crackle when you speak. all i want’s to feel my feet above the earth (though soon below) where, soon, all of the creatures go to fall asleep and never know the world their bodies nurtured.
i’ll lift my body towards the sky and watch the world around me die. you and i won’t be alive.

you are the light on my windowsill that flickers every winter night
do something right
every time’s a little harder but at least you’re still alive
em c g d
can you hear the people talking?
do you hear them call your name?
sometimes it just goes right through me
i just want to feel the same
lay under red sheets for hours
maybe sleep can fix your brain
rubber boots and plastic waters that will never feel the same
g c g c, em c g d
pretty stars fall from the clouds up in the sky tonight
and under a sheet of white the earth is tucking itself to sleep
and after years of trying
i can hardly see
you belong in the sky and
i’m laying on concrete
you are the earth
and when it’s cold we’ll sing for hours
we can stay here till it hurts
sometimes the world scares me so
but i guess i don't mind the snow
don't mind the snow
do you really mean to tell me
all those things you want to say?
or are you just another person
who just wants to be okay?
lay under red sheets for hours
heavy blankets growing cold
maybe that’s why i enjoy it
find a weight i can control
pretty stars fall from the clouds up in the sky tonight
and under a sheet of white the earth is tucking itself to sleep
and after years of trying
i can hardly see
you belong in the sky and
i’m laying on concrete
and you are hardly moving
and i can’t close my eyes
i just want to be younger
i’m so terrified

the night’s not made for people who think like you do
so just don’t think too much, it’ll all be over soon, soon
stare out your window or the light under your door
it takes some time sometimes to find something worth looking for
i know its hard to convince yourself twice
but there’s demons at your doorstep, and all you’ve gotta do is fight
and maybe i’m not one to say
because i hide from you all day
i know you want to go away
is it okay to feel this way?
all i want’s for you to stay
i remember how cold your hands felt on tuesday
the night’s not made for people who think
spent too much time tonight standing over my bathroom sink
do you realize how big the world is compared to you?
and even from afar, the stars are microscopic too
so did you ever get around
to doing all those things you thought would make you proud
so pack your bags tonight, lets go out with a bang
i’d rather fuck things up than let them forget my name
but i hide from you all day
i know you want to go away
is it okay to feel this way?
all i want’s for you to stay
you left your jacket at my house
it’s sitting on my attic floor
and no matter how hard i try to
i cant bring myself to knock on your door
do you think about the changing weather?
(the leaves are falling down)
do you wonder why your body’s sore?
do you have a plan to make things better?
do you think about me anymore?
do you think about me anymore?
