i woke this morning to nothing at all i lay in wrappings to wait for your call and only then did i realise your voice had died with your throat full of flies we spoke of ghosts and your unchallenged prose and your face broke open and with blood down your nose you said you couldn't be happier and you fed me herbs and water and i slept by you all through the night and i woke to find that you had died and the final words you ever said "i've had enough, get out of my bed"

roses 02:48
you would float like roses would through woods where we would walk at night everything seemed beautiful and I would stare into your eyes even in the dead of night the pavement seemed to burn so bright even in the dead of night the sun would stretch across the sky but oh, oh these words falling from my mouth, and turning into dirt i am a boy, but I am not a man i don't have legs, and I don't understand you would float like roses would without me in the woods at night everything is terrible and I am scared and don't know why please pretend we're fine again and stop yourself from getting high please pretend we're young again with feet to walk and legs to fly but oh, oh that night i could have died a million different times and from the things you said i could have wished, wished that I was dead beautiful like roses

i feel like shit i hate myself and i want to die i'll try to write a song i might feel better later i feel like shit i hate myself and i want to die i don't know how to deal with it i hate myself and i want to die i feel like shit what the hell did i do wrong? i feel like shit i know what i did wrong and i'm ignoring it i feel like shit i feel like shit what the hell did i do wrong?
4.
in the morning you said that the drink had gone to your head and when you woke up everyone you knew was gone by the moonlight we grew to resemble our parents too how ironic now everywhere we go is hell but you had your chance to invite me over to dance but you didn't so instead i headed home
5.
i don't hate you i forgive you please don't go away you are not alone
6.
you met me and i suck you met me and i suck i guess it's just bad luck to love someone who sucks and i hate all your friends and you hate all my friends so i don't blame you then if you never wanna do it again but you met me and i suck you met me i suck i guess it's just bad luck to love someone who sucks but i don't even care no i don't even care you can take me anywhere cos i love you more than air you met me and i suck you met me and i suck i guess it's just bad luck to love someone who sucks to love someone who sucks
7.
wake up now you have been sleeping here for hours among the headstones and the flowers go back home alright you leave me on my own someone is waiting by the phone close my eyes i am still waiting for the light and after all this time somehow it came as no surprise when you were gone
8.
you can have me anywhere you like you can do whatever you want to me i feel i have to tell you this because you hate your body you can touch my anythingyouwant you can break bits off of my skin we can stay awake all fucking night if you're scared of sleeping
9.
i love you and you love me we're both just twisting in the wind are you there please comb my hair my used tissues everywhere i don't eat and i don't sleep and i don't want to make you leave it's hard enough just getting up tell me when you've had enough i love you and you love me it's complicated and ugly i don't want to die just yet it can wait until we've met

bees 02:07
i closed my eyes, i couldn't sleep i opened them, i couldn't see i filled my mouth with honeybees now i don't know, no i don't know i closed my mouth, i couldn't breathe i opened it, i couldn't speak i filled my mouth with honeybees now i don't know, no i don't know i ran away, i stayed a week i hated you, i couldn't sleep i filled my mouth with honeybees i filled my brain with honeybees now i don't know, no i don't know
11.
misery 02:41
i haven't left the house in 168 hours i feel like i'm going insane i'm living off of bread i barely leave my bed and the front door is tied up in chains books will become beasts the doors will become teeth and the mattress will swallow me whole if i don't get out soon i'll die inside my room and the walls will get hollow and cold my hair touches the sink when i bend down to drink and my muscles are fading away it's not anything new just give it a week or two and i will be okay
12.
i've been stood up i've been lost i've been cut out i've been forgot i've been stared at i've been ignored i've been fucked up i've been bored i've been yelled at i've been blamed i've been buried i've been shamed i've been beaten i've been stabbed i've been stood on i've been grabbed i've been strangled i've been drowned i've been strung out i've been pushed around i've been careful i've been caught i've been carried away i've been left to rot i've been final i've been phased i've been angry i've been depressed for days i've been haunted i've been sick i've been suicidal now i'm bored of it
13.
i stopped believing that you were there i moved away and dyed my hair and suddenly it wasn't love but want and need and i gave up when you're away i'll dream of you your laugh, your skin, your narrow truths your hair, your smell, your empty head your house, your room, your bed your house, your room, your bed
