Vultures 02:06

It's hard to get out of bed when there's no right side Try to open my eyes to the bright side Wouldn't have made it this far if I wasn't learning It wouldn't hurt this hard if it wasn't worth it Right? I feel like dying but I don't think that would change anything I want to run away but I can't get away from me I'm sick of waiting for somebody else to pick me up I'm sick of waiting for myself to give a fuck Now you're out West, the wild beckoned you home Oh, how I envy the forest that got to swallow you whole You were the gold standard, I'm just silver I want to hear the birds but all I see are vultures Circling overhead I guess that I am dead I'll circle over your head Halo on an Angel of Death

I like to dream during the daytime I'd like to think that you were all mine But I'm not that naive and you're way too cool Or at least you try too hard, but hey I do too You're sneaking past your mom who's passed out on the couch So you can get in my car and we can go somewhere else You say "let's go to the bridge, baby we'll burn it all down" If we survive the fall we can hang out at my house Then you said "I know I'm melodramatic But suburban drama's my favorite kind Hey Ryan you're normally such a good fucking guy But not this time, what happened this time?" It was the middle of November on your best friend's back porch When we were sitting where we sat less than a year before When we drank and we joked and we smiled and we posed When I told you I loved you you told me "I know" Then we swore to ourselves and each other That we'd make it last this time, we'd make it matter this time But after an endless summer you decided to leave me behind And I don't think I'll ever move on "I hate you and this highway town I'm sick of getting fucked up and just hanging around I'm gonna get out of here the only way I can" She says to me with another boy in her hand I fucking hate myself and this college town I'm all alone, there's people all around Fuck you, you left me in the dust Fuck me for thinking I'm someone

Here I am in my empty bedroom Waiting for the walls to yell back at me But honestly it's not as bad As I'm making it all out to be And naturally I am overreacting to things happening around me Naturally I'm comparing everything to a movie Naturally I am overwhelming you with this stupidity But actually you are already past this, I'm clumsy and careless You said you said you just want to feel something That resonates within Is it too much to ask to feel the good kind of chills All over again? Naturally you are overreacting to things that I haven't been saying Naturally I am unresponsive to any and all responsibility Naturally I am overwhelming you with my stupidity But actually you are already past this, I'm clumsy and careless You'd never know it, but I've been keeping tabs on you Though I'll never admit that I am still in love with you I know I'm only trying to kid myself, and everybody else knows That I can still drive to your house with my eyes closed I've got all these cuts on my hands and I don't know what they're from I had a bloody nose today when I woke up It's all coming to an end that I never saw coming A plot twist and an ending everyone else saw coming My eyes are closed And I realize that lies were told My eyes are closed And I'm not peeking

I'm trying my best to find the best in you But I'm having a hard time Well I don't know why it's called the bright side When it's always so hard to find You lead me on, lead me off those limestone cliffs We'll see how far I get with my confidence caved in Kick in a few more stones my way Until you get bored and walk away You were the means, you were the end for so fucking long And now he's chasing his dreams, I heard you're tagging along I guess that means this is the end, well so fucking long I'm better off anyway, tired of playing along But I'm a lost boy, I'm just a stupid kid I'll never have what it takes to get you out of my head With effigies to burn and nothing to lose Wendy Darling, I don't need you

My blood's pumping again And I can feel my strength coming back I don't go to the gym, but I'm out of bed I can hold a conversation outside of my own head I'm living again Going out in an attempt to forget I don't want to forget everything just anything That makes me feel Now I only miss you when I'm tired Or when I think too much I haven't been sleeping enough These days need to hurry up Now I only miss you when I'm wired Or when I drink too much I haven't been sleeping enough But I don't think I can sleep this off I'm dreaming again But not about you or what could have been I am finally relaxed, I'm getting over the past I'm not thinking about what you think I lack I don't really miss you I just miss who you used to be I don't really miss you I just miss what you meant to me I don't really miss you I just miss the kid I thought I knew I don't really miss you I just misrepresented my youth
