Skip Town 03:39
Hey, wanted to say I’m just passing through, And I’ve had my eyes on you For a while now, And I’m just about to skip town. So stay with me For a minute. I’m Losing sleep I’ll admit it. Just tryna be Analytic. Oh maybe It’s crazy I’m spacy, Nice to meet ya. Hey Lady In waiting, I’m sayin I’d complete ‘cha. Oh baby, A safety Your taken? Yeah I knew that. I’m hating Your dating This Ape-y Braindead gymrat. So stay with me For a minute. I’m Losing sleep I’ll admit it. Just tryna be Analytic. Oh maybe It’s crazy I’m spacy, Nice to meet ya. Hey Lady In waiting, I’m sayin I’d complete ‘cha. Oh baby, A safety Your taken? Yeah I knew that. I’m hating Your dating This Ape-y Braindead gymrat. Hey, wanted to say that I’ll miss you After going off to school. Come and sit down ‘Cause I’m just about to skip town. So stay with me For a minute. I’m Losing sleep I’ll admit it. Just tryna be Analytic. Oh maybe It’s crazy I’m spacy, Nice to meet ya. Hey Lady In waiting, I’m sayin I’d complete ‘cha. Oh baby, A safety Your taken? Yeah I knew that. I’m hating Your dating This Ape-y Braindead gymrat.

I'm not your damn boyfriend. I don't care where you've been. I'm not your attention slave. I don't want to play your game. I can see through this charade. I feel as if I'm getting played.

See the cracks Of old mount doom. Burning smells Of cheap perfume. Oh what hell Is coming soon? Just might be A little screwed. Everything is going wrong Oh what did I do? I will never see the dawn Say goodbye too soon. Everything is going wrong Oh what did I do? I will never see the dawn Say goodbye too soon. Oh you catastrophe! Angels march in twos and threes. Oh, god from the machine! Would have been the end for me. Oh you catastrophe! Angels march in twos and threes. Oh, god from the machine! Would have been the end for me.

Magic 8-Ball 03:38
Guess today just came and went Sink away in Wet cement Promise made but never meant Wash away the time misspent. I don’t know what else to say Live tomorrow, die today 50,000 shades of grey Promise that I’ll be okay. Every late night phone call, Every crushed receipt, Ask my magic 8 ball What not to repeat. Saw you glance away one time In a long grocery line. You were talking with some guy Tell me, did he spent the night? Every late night phone call, Every crushed receipt, Ask my magic 8 ball What not to repeat.

Not gonna miss ya What more can I say? It it clear That we’re not gonna date. Oh wait What more could I say For a chance That you’d actually stay? It would go so well Oh so well… What do I feel? It it love Or ever-lasting hate? Oh Your the best kind Of classic cliche For a guy Who does not wanna change. Oh hey What more can I say Than “were done” do I need to explain? It would be like hell Just like hell… What do I feel? It it love Or ever-lasting hate?

Is this a test? Sure it happens to the best. Sacrificial dove, Or maybe superficial love. Try to stay tough, But I’m never good enough. Am I out of luck, Or will I find strength from above? In rose tint things will all turn out okay. One minute Memories dull and start to fade. In rose tint I always know what to say. One minute Memories dull and turn to gray. Think I need help Feeling sorry for myself. This is getting rough Swear that I have had enough. Where’d I go wrong? Been saying this all along. Knees turning to chalk Can we please just sit and talk? Is it too late? Is it too late? Is it too late? Is it too late? In rose tint things will all turn out okay. One minute Memories dull and start to fade. In rose tint I always know what to say. One minute Memories dull and turn to gray.

Sorry I’m not him Sorry that I will forgive, but can’t ever forget Sorry this is it Sorry that we weren’t ever any more than friends Sorry I’m the absolute bare minimum. Always staying in your orbit; Your own personal moon. Never claiming I was perfect, revolved right around you. Now I see that it was worthless, Makes me feel like a tool. Never got me past the surface; Shallow end of your pool. Sorry I’m not him Sorry that I will forgive, but can’t ever forget Sorry this is it Sorry that we weren’t ever any more than friends Sorry I’m the absolute bare minimum. Sorry I’m not him Sorry that I will forgive, but can’t ever forget Sorry this is it Sorry that we weren’t ever any more than friends Sorry I’m the absolute bare minimum. Sorry I’m not him Sorry that I will forgive, but can’t ever forget Sorry this is it Sorry that we weren’t ever any more than friends Sorry I’m the absolute bare minimum.

Smoking for the aesthetic Let the Memories fade to ash. Saying that you’ll forget it When it’s buried in the past. You don’t fit in Neither do I. Staying thin Is how you hide. Don’t listen to them, Give it a try. Kill your self From the inside. Smoking for the aesthetic Let the Memories fade to ash. Saying that you’ll forget it When it’s buried in the past. They just don’t get it The face you hide. When the sun sets You start to fly. Suck the smoke in, It’s the last time. Your next of kin Lets out a sigh. Smoking for the aesthetic Let the Memories fade to ash. Saying that you’ll forget it When it’s buried in the past.
