stationary scenery
watching life pass in front of me
don’t know when i got
so bored
staring out my window
watching life come and go
don’t know how i got
so low
if i just pretend
that things are different
maybe then i could be free
instead of staring at the trees
the rabbits are running
all the leaves have fallen
and i sit waiting
indoors
don’t know what i’m waiting for
but i can’t get myself out the door
don’t know who i was before
i just wanna feel
something else.
watching from
the windowsill
i just wanna feel
something else.

get out of your head
you’re your own best friend
you won’t get anywhere
unless you just do it
the world is yours, so own it
you can’t be pretty like someone else
but you can be beautiful as yourself
even if you swear you don’t
see it
i hope you believe it
and if you’re down in the dumps
remember who got you through
it’s easier said than done
but know that this is true:
there will never be another you.

i threw my spirit away
so you’d look my way
bleeding and feeding on niceties
if I steal a part of your personality
maybe then you’ll love me
if I make everything shiny
maybe then you’ll see me
i wear my cloak to come see you
my mask is a face of someone you knew
it’s all for your approval
i can’t be myself around you
i have to hide the things that I do
but i want your attention
if i steal a part of your personality
maybe then you’ll love me
if i make everything shiny
maybe then you’ll see me
i can’t remember who i was
but i think i deserve love
i'm tired of being angry
i just want my own identity

Drive-In

every time i get behind the wheel
it’s like i’m just screening the reel
of a film i'm not supposed to see
rated R for ‘removed’
a body with no point of view
sitting at the drive-in
emptily watching the projections
can’t help feelin’
that every good experience
is happening from the backseat
maybe it’s ‘cause i never learned to drive
i’m watchin’ my life
on the silver screen
but my own movie
isn’t even about me
every time i get behind the wheel
i’m just screening the reel
of a film i was in, but can’t see
maybe if i had the license
to infinite happiness
i could drive off into the sunset
instead my eyes are glued
to the view of my existence
i can’t drive so i’m running
i can’t drive so i’m running
back to the past to feel present
i can’t keep watching my existence
i can’t keep watching my existence
i don’t wanna be stuck at the drive-in
for the rest of my life

"if you're ever that happy, jar it"
i never learned anything different
took the advice and breathed life into a tin
but nobody else did
i guess the joke's on me
for making a big deal of everything
i'm holding my feelings in a jar
while the world watches from afar
i wonder if anyone got the lesson
i guess the joke's on me
for making a big deal of everything
but nobody's laughing.

April Shatters

it took a long time
for the ice to sink in
you took your time
letting the walls cave in
and i thought by spring
i could bounce back
until you came in
and smashed all the cracks
you never saw the harm in
finishin’ what you started
and i can't believe
i let myself think you loved me.
by april i was a shell of a girl
sitting in glass shards and broken pearls
and as i was bleeding, you might’ve been smiling
i wonder if you felt anything.

i don’t have problems with commitment
except when it comes to houses
i just feel the need to leave
every four months i’m in boxes
pack it all up for something different
and forget the past exists
i’d love to know
how it feels to have a home
without feeling like i have
to get up and go
i wasn’t always like this
but now all i know is
how to get up and go
i don’t know how to be grounded
maybe ‘cause i was never punished
until i turned eighteen
the strangers in my apartment
acted like i didn’t exist
in the place i had to live
if i leave first i'll never be evicted
if i leave first i’ll never be unwanted
if i leave first it'll be on my terms
