Dogmeat - Sleepwell

It was the locked up kind of feeling
that sent me away to that ratshit couch.
It was the breaking in through the window
and being afraid of never coming out
I reached up toward the ceiling as if to grab for the long gone stick on stars I used to put up on my walls. I held on to ur sweater, the one I've had probably nearly two years now and I thought about calling you but I knew you were asleep
It's 4am and I'm up before the sun again
It's snowing hard this morning, I'll stay under the blankets
So I sat arms stretched towards the attic writing on it under nothing but the pale blue light of my speaker

Choose another day to see, I'll sit here and wait patiently
for all the words to come out right
The parking lot, the drop of red, that makes its way into your head
Could not help with your writers block

Dogmeat - Something Else

All that talk about getting drunk in a field
We, we were so young then
and we're so young now
so let's extend our palms
reach em out towards the clouds
and see what we can find
in each other's blue eyes
in our cliché lines
Cuz I, I want something else
but I don't want, no, I don't want anyone else!
Cuz I, I want something else
but I don't want, no, I don't want anyone else!
We, we could plant our flowers
in eachothers worries
in eachothers problems
we could make them pretty!
Cuz I, I don't wanna be confused
and I'm not when I'm talking to you
And I, I don't wanna be confused
Sometimes I am, but at least I have you

Dogmeat - Thinking

I don't think anymore
you're knocking on my bedroom door
creaking doorknob
I don't sleep anymore
I'm laying on my bedroom floor
wrapped in blankets wrapped in scarves
I don't know how long I can stand it
how many times can you call me a man in one afternoon
how many times will I let the sand roll out of my eye
and onto the ground
I don't know how long I can stand it
how many times will I let the sand roll out of my eye and onto the ground

coffee is not a substitute for food
but i am in a bitter hatful self resenting mood
i dont know if im gonna be okay
in trying my best to make it through the day
i have been skating here since 1am
i managed to convince myself that i dont have any friends
is this just another day or is it the end
im scaring my family im scaring my friends
ill get baker acted if i try
my friends would rather see me locked away than die
there is nowhere in this world that id rather not be
than that facility

i feel like a jerk
my shitty personality is more than just a quirk
i dont care what i did wrong
all i care is that im always wrong
everytime i speak
ill say something wrong i shouldn't talk at all
im so fucking weak
i cant accomplish anything i shouldnt try at all
i wanna be like you
i wanna know just what to do
i want to understand
i cant see things the way you can
i just wanna help myself
i will always be worse than everybody else
i am gonna kill myself
ill never be the same as anybody else

i hate it when people stare at me
im not sure what there is to see
why is everybody looking at me
i am just a normal girl
i am afraid of what people think of me
sometimes i think my friends are mad at me
sometimes i think my partners dont like me
i am filled with insecurity
