Bad News 01:30
they say that you're bad news but for somebody like me any news is good news they say that you're bad news but maybe bad is what i need any news is good news so i turn to my friends but they all think that i'm depressed that i don't make out enough and i no it's all a joke but i'm just not good at this stuff i think i'll make it out okay if i just make it out alive all of the things i do when i'm with you but all i can think is how they say that you're bad news but for somebody like me any news is good news they say that you're bad news and maybe bad is what i need any news is good news

Wasted 02:49
i'm wasting most of the time in my head i'm spending all of that time alone with no one to talk to no one to run off to lifeless bag of blood and bones but how do you know when you've given it up when you've given your all and you can't just try it again say enough is enough and call it an end i'm wasting most of the time in my bed i'm spending all of that time alone just watching the start trek and eating my paycheck lifeless bag of blood and bones but how do you know when you've given it up when you've given your all and you can't just try it again say enough is enough and call it an end i'm spending most of the time by myself i'm wasting most of the time by myself i'm killing most of my time by myself

art is hard man art is hard man art man art oh man art is so hard oh man art is so hard
7.
i'm getting tired of a house that's not a home i'm getting tired of leaving well enough alone i'm getting tired of starting my days trying to leave before you wake and maybe not come back or just come back late go straight to bed and start again i'm cowered on my floor watching the shadows creep across the light under my bedroom door can't hide anymore i'm getting tired of a house that's not a home i'm getting tired of leaving well enough alone i'm getting tired of holding my breath trying to answer you without making a sound my head in the ground

Likeable 01:10
i guess i'm likeable in a sad way oh oh oohhh but i like them all in the baddest way possible i'm holding out for love but who am i kidding what do i think i'm made of just blood and hair no guts i guess i like them all in a bad way but i'd like to know why it's sad for me to stay home i'm trying not to care but i just don't feel like i fit in anyway

10.
i just wanna be around people not drinking i just wanna be a part of a different kind of thinking but oh, this little thought is swimming 'round in my head what's killing you slowly is still just killing you dead and all of the exercise that i'm not getting and all the taco bell that i'm regretting oh this reality is quickly setting in i just wanna be around people not smoking my lungs they can't take it they're already pretty broken but oh this little thought is floating 'round in my head what's killing you slowly is still just killing you dead
11.
i kind of like the way that you call me when i'm already on the phone and i always think it's strange how you stop by my house when i'm never home but i never liked the way that you're never around when i'm all alone but if you smile at me i will smile back how can i be sad at a face like how can i be sad at a face like how can i be sad at a face like that? i kind of like the way that you are on my mind when i fall asleep and you might think it's strange how i count on you instead of counting sheep but i never liked the way that you always leave my dreams when i've fallen deep

Unlikely 01:32
it's unlikely i'll be happy it's unlikely i'll feel anything at all and i'm tired of pretending that i'm doing alright when i just feel like everyone around me says i'm not thinking clearly but i'm not thinking anything at all it's unlikely i'll be happy it's unlikely i'll be anything at all and i'm trying but i'm stuck here it all seems the same but i just feel like everyone around me says i'm not thinking clearly but i'm not thinking anything at all
