I crashed my car, the other day and you told me,
you told me it'd be okay
You left without me, left me in the rain.
I guess that's okay.
What's left is everything in my brain
it's just me and at the end of the day.
You know what, I guess that's okay.

Another night, Singing to your leaves,
A little life in every breath I breathe
I watch you grow every single day. each flower a hit of dopamine straight to my brain
It's pretty special watching growth everyday something simple done in no special way
but we keep changing and we're never the same
you're something special don't you ever change
I watch you grow every single day
each flower a hit of dopamine straight into my brain
sore little leaf and get so far away
I want to fly and find life in another way
it's pretty special watching growth everyday
it's something simple done in no special way
but we keep changing and we're never the same
you're something special don't you ever change
don't you ever change

The building stays haunted
No matter how much we cleanse it
It's as if it were tainted, straighrt from the start
We hoped it get better, we wished and we prayed
but the roaches kept on growing and mold kept on spreading from bottom to the top
Cleanse the foundation
start in the garden
dig up the bones
and wash them all over
kill the weeds the bugs and the gnats
burn down the house
use the ash as fertilizer
no amount of love
or good intentions can save us
it has to start from the inside out
But the ghosts they are happy they've been here since creation
they flow through the stone like the blood in the veins in my heart
Cleanse the foundation
start in the garden
dig up the bones
and wash them all over
kill the weeds the bugs and the gnats
burn down the house use the ash as fertilizer
burn down the house, use the ash as fertilizer

Living like a child learning how to drive foot timid on the gas extra heavy on the break
overshooting every turn, afraid of other lanes and the cars within them
I swear I'm never over this I've got a tight noose round my neck and a shadow in my brain
I guess I'll paint the whole town red leave a note they won't forget and make no meaningful change.
biting nails straight down to the bones staring senseless into walls blood pacts with old friends
Getting drunk passed out in the woods philosophizing over men and the gods that rule them
I swear I'm never over this, I've got a tight noose round my neck and a shadow in my brain
I guess I'll paint the whole town red leave a note they won't forget and make no meaningful change
These days never change
these days never end
these days never change it's the company you keep
These days never change
these days never change
these days never change it's the company you keep

I want to be stuck in your bed, the way you're stuck living rent free in my head
Occupying every hour of every day
Every single phrase tattoo'd into my brain
I want to know your plans, sing all the cheesy songs from our favorite bands
I want to know your plans, counting the highway lines with our clapping hands
If I can do this again, I'd sail this gallant ship hand in hand
I lost track of all our fears, I think they moved on with every single year, time isn't anything, especially with every song I sing
I wanna know your plans, sing all the cheesy songs from our favorite bands,
I wanna know your plans, counting the highway lines with our clapping hands
If I can do this again, I'd sail this gallant ship hand in hand

I'm the king of the world in my head
every soldier with a want for me dead
I'm public enemy number 1
I am nothing, I am no one
I'm the ruler of the whole universe I am god
bow at my feet
feel for the plot
pray for savior, pray for peace
I can give you that at least
I am the king of the world in my head
why am I so filled with fucking dread
I am nothing I am not one
and that's exactly what I want
I am the king of the world in my head
why am I so filled with fucking dread
I am nothing I am not one
and that's exactly what I want
I was the king of the world in my head
now I'm not sure if I'm alive or if I'm dead
spaced out and being thrown about
by this viscous cycle merry go round
Don't feel for me, don't show me any pity
because I do this to myself constantly you'd think I'd enjoy purgatory
I am the king of the world in my head
why am I so filled with fucking dread
I am nothing I am not one
and that's exactly what I want
I am the king of the world in my head
why am I so filled with fucking dread
I am nothing I am not one
and that's exactly what I want
I swallowed pesticides to kill the bugs inside they bite at every single thought
I swallowed pesticides to kill the bugs inside they nip at every god damn thought
I swallowed pesticides to kill the bugs inside they eat every fucking thought
I swallowed pesticides to kill the bugs inside they bite at every fucking thought
Despite the end it's worth it
