If nothing had changed, Would it have helped me out? You don't feel the same And I understand. Nothing's the same But I'll help you out. Nothing's the same now. I kind of guessed something was wrong, Didn't want to believe Should've bit my lip just to prolong, This overwhelming grief Now I live at my parents house And my brothers sheets don't keep me warm; they don't smell of you So I'll never sleep the same But I'll help you out. I know you sleep the same But that doesn't help There is no time to these days; Every minute's a freeze frame Where I blame myself. This list of loss is so long I've no time to read There's a cloud of what it was Over everything And I've been trying to think If it's you or the past that I still love But I don't think I'll ever solve that. For all it hurts, I'm a big boy now. And you need to work on being nice to yourself. Because you're perfect. You're my best friend. And we're both going to be fine.

You come to see me now Through innocent eyes and watch how I was once spoiled for choice Now can't even voice what that means Quietly sure of yourself Yet to foresee just how You will gobble your choices With an unblemished greed, My subsequent disappointment Could fill magazines You said "I liked you better when you were like me" Awash with concurrence, I ask you to leave You can hide Running in circles. But you're still running away. This heart is black and tarred But still, it's beating. Adjust to digest shards So it doesn't sting. You're still here You're still running away I can't despair if I haven't got the time I can't repair if I haven't got the time I can't depend on you I can't depend on myself I wish I could send you this letter...

China Skis 02:30
I should use this situation To do a little more for me A change in job direction Maybe something I don't hate But I'll always be as redundant As a pair of China Skis I hope you get that reference I know Josh Jarman will at least... Maybe if I had any aspirations at all I could dream of Fridays that don't tell me That I'm allowed to dress down Even sad kings get to wear a crown And I'm too comfy on this throne I was content with sharing nothing Now I have nothing on my own.

I've been walking backwards So I don't see it coming But I walk in circles... My sight's self-humbled By these rose-tinted goggles I bought for myself But they're not enough; They make no difference at all Why do I beg When everything I said was enough? Abrade me down. I got the sea view at a hotel no one visits, or knows about And I slept there all day Next to my suitcase stuffed with bibles, Bars of soap and fresh towels It was the loneliest I've ever woke It makes no difference; Let the bath run Why do I beg When everything I said was enough? Abrade me down with that file Until I'm as smooth as the skies That surround my hotel Sat next to you The hardest thing to do is know Hate's a chore.

Tin Foil 03:18
I was hoping to find you And I know that you wanted me there too I showed you all in one arm's breadth And I count your heartbeats as my head sits on your chest Is this silver lining or tin foil hiding something disguarded beneath fresh soil? I can't tell you how much It meant to be beside you, Looking at the walls as you slept and wishing I could too, like we used to Just like we used to Just like we're supposed to
