showcase: sundown

some people have poetic moments, imagine those never shutting off.
my life feels like that sometimes, and without love i'd be better off
I can't stop thinking about how I'll never make it out alive
then i break our and show some signs
of improvement
i'm a two-star boy with four-star dreams
and how many other people think these same exact things

lay your weapons down cause you can't stop me now

i've made out with lips and cash.
runaway boy, with all your dignity in tow
i'm a thief is so many ways.
we've drifted off so many cliffs in so few days
i'm a product endorsement for cowardice.
i can't step up to the plate
but it's not necessarily that way
so much self doubt that i could shoot everyones dreams, including my own
and just say "that's how it goes"
so that's just how it goes.

modern marvels

we're all just pine boxes waiting to be filled
lined with all the dreams we were just too scared to run after.
lives like iambic pentameter, we're all just stressed and unstressed.
i could give you anything, all you gotta do is slide off that pretty lil dress
so i'm not mr. subtle, but I don't apologize anymore
cause what do I have left to hide
look inside me and there's cobwebs and an uneasy heart
but it's mine, and it's all i've got left
never thought i'd get you off my chest.

sometimesyoujustwant more.

but you can't have any.
dangle it above your head and move it away
a child's game, but i'm not above that
you played that way, now it's my turn

we all need a hand to hold, but not one to sleight.
a shoulder to rest and not to be shrugged
a head we can swim in but not get lost in their thoughts
we need a someone, anyone
keep me warm and i won't give you away


we're just eyes in keyholes, waiting to get in
but we'll never stop pretending that our hearts haven't given in.
we need a shot at l(ust)ove for once.

i feel like gold[plated]

"just keep a hold of me and don't let go"

I cant keep my mouth shut but i got so much to say
but I said the wrong thing so maybe another day.
im not a firm believer in anything solid
Im a dreamer, what can i say
hopeless romantic for the hopelessly frantic
anyone needs everyone, and the same in reverse
he has your attention, but I got there first.
but you didn't pay me my dues, because I say stupid things
now I'll just hope for a one night drunken fling
I can't seem to impress you, or make the right moves
my head is a heart attack, I'm bruised and confused
I wish I had your freedom.

daring and bold to be shy and cowardly

i'm just a step away from being you.
vices and sins are in
and you wear 'em well.
I dono what's right anymore
I just wanna fit in
and not worry 'bout the repercussions.
don't you dare fade away on me now
I couldn't bear the thought of being alone
even tho I already am in a sense.
I get me for me and you for what you're trying to be
break outta yr shell, that I understand
but why do it with such a sleighted hand?
but that's just how we do

i love my itouch

and it loves me.

"i know i'll never die alone cuz of all of you"

i'm different, in the same kind of way
my life is an endless amount of saturdays.
put all my chips in on what i thought could happen
they called my bluff
i'll keep on lying until im lying for good
seconds are just a matter of time
i've been bad, but i do it so good
i'm not moving on cause i need to
i'm just bored of being so miserable
i wanna make irresponsible choices
for once in my life
i've been the peacemaker, the pacesetter
now i wanna sit in the back and throw spitwads
lets move and shake whatever we have
until we find the gold underneath.
"my friends are a different breed
my friends are everything...."
