Caffeine 02:26
I've been drowning myself in coffee cuz I'm scared of falling asleep cuz I'm not sure if you'll be here when I wake up And I'll always have one eye open, and I'll always be waiting for you And I'll always say I love you because it's true And I promised that I'd stop writing songs about you but that's proven to be easier said than done and I promised that I'd stop writing songs about you I know to you I was never the only one And I miss the nights in your dorm and the ones on your bedroom floor when we were happy and in love and we wanted nothing more and I remember when you'd lay here and you'd promise you'd never leave and you told me "darling you're the only one for me" And I promised that I'd stop writing songs about you but that's proven to be easier said than done and I promised that I'd stop writing songs about you I know to you I was never the only one

Alive 02:24
Alone; I've always been alone But then you came into my life, and then you took off in the night I don't know why you left I wish I could feel something and I wish that I was dead so I'm getting fucked up on a Friday night with my best friends trying to feel alright and ignore that fact that I'm all on my own but with them and not you I found something else to call my home Sunk down into the pits of this couch I hope that it swallows me, I never wanna be set free from this house or this town but at the same time I wish I could get out, I don't know what I'm doing now I'm on a soul search, I should get off my ass I should get a job, I should be in class but I'm sleeping in, oh my god what will I do? I'm killing myself with these thoughts of you so I'm getting fucked up on a Friday night with my best friends trying to feel alright and ignore that fact that I'm all on my own but with them and not you I found something else to call my home I'm moving on I swear I won't get swallowed by despair I won't be going down without a fight I hope I make it out alive

Antidote 01:18
Freshly showered, but I still feel dirty There's a pain I can't explain in the soles of my feet I'm not getting better as I go throughout my day I just wonder what I did to make me feel this way I'm breaking my back to keep my cool regretting the day I dropped out of school "Remember your plans? What happened to them?" I don't know, man, nothing makes sense anymore Now I've made a fool of myself by giving up on everything else that once help me so high off the ground but I've fallen down, I don't know what I'm doing now Every step I take I feel the life fade out of me Slowly but surely I'll need an antidote to save me

Emo Knievel 02:29
Thoughts of suicide cross my mind from time to time and I wonder if there'll ever be a day where I feel fine and I hope that the pills will finally kick in and I'll fall asleep and never be awoken I'm getting high from secondhand smoke all the time and I wonder if there'll ever be a day where I give it a try a day where the drugs will slowly creep in and fuck with my mind and keep me from overthinking about life and how I always hate it and how I think everyone around me is an idiot I'm so bitter about everything, I hate these songs I always sing I hate the way I get when I don't hear what I want to hear So fuck my job, fuck my life, fuck my car, and fuck me too, right? Fuck everything and everyone that's here I don't really mean these things I say, I don't know why I get this way I don't know why I do anything at all So I'll shut my mouth, I'll go away, I'll listen to what others have to say I'll stop being such an asshole all the time I'm sorry if I've offended you, ignore me, you're really stellar I'll disappear, it's for the best, see you someday

Coffee 04:39
You were the one thing that kept me in line Now you're the one thing that makes me feel like a waste of time I'm sorry that I got in your way So why is it that you make me feel like shit? When all I ever did was give you everything I have and now I'm no one, and now I'm nothing So I'll keep drowning myself in coffee, cuz I'm scared of having dreams of you again And thoughts of suicide still cross my mind when I think of you with him And I should be over this by now, not singing about you like a fucking clown But I can't help the way my mind works and how it still hurts I'm trying hard to get past this but it's been a year and I still can't get over it and I think you hate me, but I think I love you So why is it that I still feel like shit? This is all my fault, I'm such an idiot but you know that, it's nothing new but the fact still remains, you still slander my name So I'll keep drowning myself in coffee, cuz I'm scared of having dreams of you again And thoughts of suicide still cross my mind when I think of you with him And I should be over this by now, not singing about you like a fucking clown But I can't help the way my mind works and how it still hurts I still don't fully know what I did to you a year ago to make you change your mind and give someone else all of your time but whatever it was, I'd take it back, and if I could you know I would rewrite the past But I can't, so I won't, I guess this is how it goes But you still hate me, I guess I hate you too I've been drowning myself in coffee cuz I'm scared of falling asleep cuz I'm not sure if you'll be here when I wake up And I'll always have one eye open, and I'll always be waiting for you And I'll always say I love you because it's true But you still hate me, I guess I hate you too
