I hate how well you know me I can't get away with anything
I'm worried I'm worrying my complex complexion my words say it's nothing
Why can't I get excited about the things your excited for perpetually pessimistic and internal war and it's cloudy tomorrow but it's sunny today and the moonlight is calling
It knows my name it knows my name
Why do I think the world is so obsessed with a twenty-something who spends most of his days wishing life worked out differently
Conspicuous when we're silent a quiet that I wish I could keep eyes open staring at the ceiling when I've been on my feet for weeks

In the gaps between leaf-blower growls you can watch the hours counting triumphs of the day.
As you watch the time go by wondering what's been done

I don't get up before 9am on any given day as a general rule and sometimes I wonder what would change if I didn't get up at all but don't freak out I'm not about that kind of mentality it's funny how this is now and you're still in front of me
I get angry when you're near and I wish you would disappear
Gunning down the freeway death rattle from my coin tray getting sad on a weekday and when I'm sad I see your face
I wish I knew what I need to be happy instead I'm stuck on you and I know the truth you'll fucking ruin me
Last night I heard you crying you felt so small your body shaking quiet but my head wouldn't let my arms find you so we lay there in silence

I'll stay here and keep the tv company all weekend while you're home with family by myself could be a bit of fun you said eggs and noodles all cooked in the microwave
Too cold here I'll sleep in the living room by the heater to warm away impending doom in my head thoughts are getting dangerous but you said to keep your cat alive
Watch a bad film on the big tv and think about last year when the same thing happened to me and I couldn't get passed it now I look back on fond memories of times in our garden and maybe there's no mystery and this is all there is
Don't tell me this is happiness

Walking with you is my favourite thing to do and being alone in your room window open spring coming through
But I want nothing between us to change so let the words decay
But I weigh you down don't want to weigh you down
I'm glad that you're here don't just put up with you all of your fears everything you construe how it appears couldn't be further from the truth

Take me to the hills and show me what you've got I wanna know how you sleep at night cause the Earth is bleeding its pain and your hands are stained
Cheap words counterfeit so good luck Blue Planet
Set me up inside and rewire cause I'm missing half my life and I'm getting tired the sky's a perfect shade of Dorian Grey
There's plenty of reasons to forfeit when the deck is rigged but I'll push this boulder and enjoy every second of it

Hour after hour day after day I'll chase you round the house there's always time to play I'm at your heels every moment
And if you leave I will run to find you through the pouring rain and the thunderstorms in my brain and you will see you'll be driving around all night
I need to be eternally by your side your ideals mean our two worlds collide I need to be eternally by your side why won't you let me go outside
And when you leave the door locks behind you and this sacred space leaves a hollow home in its place and you will see I won't sit here patiently

Do you remember everything I did when you were watching cause it's so embarrassing or maybe it's not that way and potentially you don't think about me every single day
This anxiety's getting tiring I wanna go to sleep and everyone we meet it seems likes my friends more than me and I tell myself I don't care and don't worry but it matters to you so it matters to me
I don't really think that hating things counts as a personality

Twenty-three years of this it doesn't feel like that long since getting home at 6 turning on channel 10 to watch the Simpsons and go to bed now it's Crunchyroll till 4am losing sleep with One Punch Man
I don't know why I left home tonight it doesn't feel alright no nothing feels alright.
I've been trying so hard to start feeling good and not just fine no not just fine
But it doesn't feel alright no nothing feels alright
I can't do this anymore no I can't do this anymore
You don't have to ignore me you can just say hi then continue walking and pass me by I'll only remember for the rest of my life but I'll finally forget it the day that I die

The View From The Summit

Last year Asahi felt poorly when he was defeated said he couldn't see over the wall over the wall turned his back on the attack dropped the man-bun and retreated I've heard that pride comes before the fall
Bring it to me I call again clear from the net and watch the hands give it to me I call again running the quick distracts a man
The view from the summit and the wall fades away
Come at me your ultimate weapon just like the first season instinct is something that you polish talent blooms in you finger like a homing beacon four he is incoming now the umbrella blocks me from the view
The great king's downfall at the hands of his prodigy

So you left me here corner of the bedroom gathering dust layers of rust going out of tune and you got a new friend and I guess that's good for you I can watch I can judge I won't speak I couldn't if I tried
You played me like a fool
It's time to let me go I'm useless on my own sentimentality good for you but not for me
Do you remember when you were still learning you weren't that great the neighbours would hate all the swearing but I didn't mind
