Distance fought
Distance won
More than you ever taught
I wake up every morning with a hole in my lungs
A hole in my lungs
Distance fought
Distance won
More than you ever taught
(It’s hard)
I am my enemy
It's hard
The hole is eating away
All my brothers and my sisters
No one ever stays
With four royals in my pocket
To get me through the day
Well it's hard
The cancer is eating away
(It's hard)
I am my enemy

Well I know you seem fine and all
Sweat and alcohol
Well I know you seem fine and all
I know you seem fine and all
Between sweat and alcohol
You made me dig, search
Find out I got a lot of flaws
I’ll find god, lie to god
Whatever it takes to make you stop crying a lot
Stop crying a lot
I know you seem fine and all
Sweat and alcohol
Dad came home
Took the pictures off the wall
That’s fine but what do I tell ma
I’ll find god, lie to god
Whatever it takes to make you stop crying a lot
Stop crying a lot
Well I know you seem fine and all
Sweat and alcohol
Well I know you seem fine and all
I’ll find god
But you better stop crying a lot

I was always seconds from the finish line and gave up
(You gave up)
I never thought that I would be enough
What you saw in me I wrote off
You were never something to write off
You said you wouldn't go
You said you wouldn't show
She's a whore
Don't ever let her go
Don't ever let her
She's a whore
Don't ever let her go
Maybe I was wrong
(Don't ever let her)
Maybe it's not my fault
I was always seconds from the finish line and gave up
(You gave up)
I never thought that I would be enough
What you saw in me I wrote off
You're enough
(I'm enough)

It's gonna be our year
You said that you'd always be there
It's gonna be our year
(It's gonna be our year)
But the date on the bottles of your shelf
Say otherwise
It's gonna be our year
The ideas that manifest in your brain
(It's gonna be our year you said)
Will rush out of your fingertips
Like brushstrokes on a page
(it's gonna be our year)
More beautiful than you imagined them
It's gonna be our year
You said

You know you look beautiful in that dress
But better in your skin
I wanna feel your nails on my back
Your teeth in my neck
And every moan is my name
Not one is the same
Pin me down
You know you look beautiful in that dress
But better in your skin
I wanna feel your nails on my back
Your teeth in my neck
And every moan is my name
Not one is the same
Pin me down

What’s worse than all the lies and failure,
Is just the fact that I can’t seem to put it down on paper.
I swear to god if I spend any more time in a room with you,
I’ll invest my time in cultures and photos that mean nothing to you.
All of my words meant nothing to you.
Fit to be tied.
Fit to be tied the weight of the words you never said.
Because messages you can’t get across you’re not taken serious.
You wrote me off and out of bed,
Because you had trouble sleeping.
You wrote me off and out of your head,
Because you couldn't take me serious
You wrote me off and out of your head,
But I'm fine it's not that serious

Just wanting to be there to be your friend
But I get nervous and
I can read you like a book in braille
Conversations as colorful as grayscale
But I get so lonely sometimes
And I can’t keep friends around
Because I get way too nervous
And all my words come out wrong
Tell me what it feels like to be so depressed
And so happy all at once
I can drive all night smiling but
Dammit if I’m all alone by myself
All at once it hits me
I’ve been away from you for days now
And that doesn’t solve anything
To make me feel better
Just bitter
Coffee stained breath
Staying a nervous wreck
Another pack of cigarettes
My brain will thank me for my lungs regret
I just needed some time to myself
But you keep a panic in me
I’m sorry I don’t have the social skills
To take ten shots at parties
Do you think I give a rat’s ass
What you do in Athens
For the greater good of keeping in touch
I’ll respond in order to feel connected
We’ll keep in touch

There are rough patches of skin
In our words
We dig our talons
Where we know they hurt
You rolled your eyes
To the next verse
You were more interested
In the contents of your purse
Than my words
I'll hold you tight
While I push you away
I'll say goodbye
And yell "please stay"
Well I stayed up all night
Wondering if you dream
While you had nightmares
Clinch your nails
To the seems of the mattress
We sleep once a week
Don't think I knew you at your best
While we were at our peak
Truly you deserve better sleep
My body wraps around you
Like sandpaper is to sheets
But you said you loved it
I bet you don't even sleep
But you said you loved it
I twitch in my sleep
It wakes you up and
Makes you love me

What I see is real more or less
If I can't tell the difference between two situations
But your eyes you don't trust them
Is a load of bullshit
At least thought I could identifiy
With what's in front of me
Atlanta Georgia
Your face is part of me
I've got some proof and I'm waiting for some other
Still doesn't quite explain why I don't know my older brother
I've got some proof and I'm waiting for some other
Still doesn't quite explain why I don't know my younger brother
What I see is real more or less
If I can't tell the difference between two situations
But your eyes you don't trust them
Is a load of bullshit
You cried when I left the room
You said true love is beautiful
And yeah, It's right in front of me
More real than the word of doubt they speak
I believe only what I see.
