Every Night

It’s like a primal yell - if no one hears it, it’s just as well
If no one cares then what the hell
It’s just for me
I’m working every day so I can keep bad thoughts away
So I can look at myself and say
I’m doing well
I want to put myself together so that I make sense again
I want to act like my own best friend
I always said it would all be worth it
If I could matter to just one person, I would be all right
I want to learn how to be alone without
Feeling a panic in my bones
I’d sleep well every night
I’d get some sleep every night
I can’t just stay inside if I want to stay alive
I’m deciding where to drive
Just somewhere else
I hold the steering wheel - double checking if it’s real
Do I act like how I feel
Or something else?
I want to put myself together so that I make sense again
I want to act like my own best friend
I always said it would all be worth it
If I could matter to just one person, I would be all right
I want to learn how to be alone without
Feeling a panic in my bones
I’d sleep well every night
I’d get some sleep every night

Now that you’re gone, I’ve got to start from scratch
I meant to add sugar, now I’ve got to make a fresh batch
I used to have so much
Now I’ve got none
And I’m hungry
Now that you’re gone, I’m waking up in the middle of the night
I’m breaking up all over again until I get it right
I used to just know
Now I’m asking why
And I’m tired
In a little while this will be normal
This’ll be normal
In a little while this will be normal
This’ll be normal
Now that you’re gone, it’s like my life is twice as small
Now that I’m here, I might as well get used to it all
I used to ignore
The nature of my heart
Now I’m starting to feel better
In a little while this will be normal
This’ll be normal
In a little while this will be normal
This’ll be normal
And in a little while
There’ll be nothing left for me to unpack
And in a little while
If you asked me to, I wouldn’t go back
In a little while this will be normal
This’ll be normal
In a little while this will be normal
This’ll be normal
And I wouldn’t go back

Alive

The breeze was calling to me, whispering promises around the corners of my building
The smell was welcoming me, bringing me memories from when we were just children
And I hadn’t thought of it since it happened
At the time I cried, but now I’m just laughing
Just laughing
I wonder what I’d be like now if I could forget you
I’m turning myself all inside out, wondering if I regret you
I can’t decide whether to curse you out
Or kiss the ground because I made it out alive
If that’s even true
I feel it growing in me, something I have to face is getting much closer
I see a version of me telling me curious things, but I don’t really know her
And nothing’s really getting much clearer
But these voices are all sounding familiar
I wonder what I’d be like now if I could forget you
I’m turning myself all inside out, wondering if I regret you
I can’t decide whether to curse you out
Or kiss the ground because I made it out alive
If that’s even true
I thought you taught me to despise myself
When I’m through, what if I don’t recognize what I felt?
I wonder what I’d be like now if I could forget you
I’m turning myself all inside out, wondering if I regret you
I can’t decide whether to curse you out
Or kiss the ground because I made it out alive
Did I make it out alive?
Did I make it out alive?
Did I make it out alive?
Did I make it out?
The breeze was calling to me, whispering promises around the corners of my building

Run Away

When I wake up I check my breathing
I know that I’m ok without you
At home by myself I might be freezing
At least I know the truth about you
I used to change as quick as lightning
Because you kept on asking me to
I considered going into hiding
But now I’m tough and I’m not gonna move
I used to hang upon your every word
Every word
I bet so much on someone who never really wanted me
I don’t need another grudge, and I don’t need another demon haunting me
I had to run away from myself just to come back
When I lay down, I check my heartbeat
I made through a day without you
I bet so much on someone who never really wanted me
I don’t need another grudge, and I don’t need another demon haunting me
I had to run away from myself just to come back

I don’t know if I deserve to feel any better, but I’ll still get serious.
Take a look at my resume and cover letter - do I have any experience?
I’m asking my friends for advice, trying to get it back to feeling nice
But they’ll never tell me how I’m supposed to be and
I’m looking everywhere for signs, and I’m reading deep between the lines
I won’t believe that it’s just up to me
I see dark clouds gathering up ahead
And all I want to do is zip my sweatshirt up to my neck and I
Woke up this year on the wrong side of my bed
I wish I’d take a break from circling round inside of my head again
The more I wait, my problems keep on getting bigger, but what’s another day?
I read online that all this worrying will make me sicker, but is there another way?
I’m asking my friends for advice, trying to get it back to feeling nice
But they’ll never tell me how I’m really supposed to be and
I’m looking everywhere for signs, and I’m reading deep between the lines
I won’t believe that it’s just up to me
I see dark clouds gathering up ahead
And all I want to do is zip my sweatshirt up to my neck and I
Woke up this year on the wrong side of my bed
I wish I’d take a break from circling round inside of my head
If I want tranquility I have to be the loudest thing around
If I want stability I have to burn this motherfucker down
If I want tranquility I have to be the loudest thing around
If I want stability I have to burn this motherfucker down
If I want tranquility I have to be the loudest thing around
If I want stability I have to burn this motherfucker down
I see dark clouds gathering up ahead
And all I want to do is zip my sweatshirt up to my neck and I
Woke up this year on the wrong side of my bed
I wish I’d take a break from circling round inside of my head again
