When you ask "how have you been?" I'll say "I dunno, since when?"
I feel like my answer's always the same.
I don't wanna make you worry about how I spend my days
I just wanna let you know that I'm okay
Yeah I know that I don't work and you may think I'm a slob
I'm just trying to figure out why I'm alive
It's hard to make your demons stop you from hanging from ceilings
When you never thought you'd make it to 25
but I'm alive
Coffee keeps me warm at night, and even if I don't sleep tight
The dawn eventually will knock me out
I think of you as I lay down, and lonely as it may seem now
I smile to think it's probably for the best
The trees they cannot speak for me, so why should I speak for the trees?
They're beautiful without even needing mouths
And adversely as for me, I'm not as beautiful as these
And even when I sing I miss the mark
But I'm alive
I told you not to wait for me, it came out quite expectedly
I'm sure that someone better's waiting too
I'm fine with living out my days, even if I'm just a stray
It's better than me holding onto you
'Cause I'm alive

Late Summertime

Late summertime, cigarette brunch by the windowside
In the afternoon, Coca-cola breath with a girl in mind
I'm just insane, I can feel in my brain
The goblins trying to tell me that I'm not good enough for this world
It's past bedtime, leaves changing keeping that shit off my mind
If it takes all night, I'll just keep on telling myself I'm alright
When I want to say that nothing has changed
I'll just lose myself out in the rain
'Cause I'm just a face that looks out of place
That sometimes just has nothing good it wants to say
Late summertime, wishing I was drunk watching cars go by
But that's alright, I gotta keep myself from giving up sometimes
It's not as bad as I'm hinting at
When people try to tell me that I'm not good enough for this world
When the world seems strange, like nothing will change
Don't let me stay in bed just waiting for change
When I want to say that nothing has changed
I'll just lose myself out in the rain

I'm Afraid of Everything

I'm afraid of everything, so what?
Of snakes and planes and loving you too much
I'm afraid of things that I can't see
What's in the dark and what's inside of me
I'm afraid of everything, what luck
Of bugs that fly and even being touched
I'm afraid of even driving cars
I lie in bed and look out at the stars
But the voices in my head
They won't get the best of me
I'll fight them every moment up until I fall asleep

Ghost walking man, talking dirty to a dog
Left his bones in Minnesota, puking beer on the lawn
Trying to flag me down with tube socks up on the 9
Picking shrapnel from his taco falling on a land mine
"Hey stud, what's the damage?"
Screaming that at himself
Hung his lunch out to dry as he loosened his belt, screaming
"Keep your hands off my lunch!"
Now this lunch ladies man has a duty to uphold
He won't stop filling up his plate until he's struck gold
Foaming mayonnaise at the mouth as he gurgled his Dew
Calling me a good for nothing as he spit in his shoe
Chewing Skoal with his burger as he's falling asleep
I can still hear him screaming as he's stomping his feet
"Keep your hands of my lunch!"

Come on, come on daylight
All I want
Take me there with you
Where have you gone daylight?
We haven't long, daylight
Carry my song to the night
Come on, come on daylight
