I'm Average

I'm average at best
Call me an asshole
I like to stress
About everybody other than me and I see that you just don't love me
Anymore
Im average at best
Call me a douche bag
I'm not depressed
I'm just in denial
Cause every single night that I try to fall asleep
I'm haunted by your laugh and your breath that used to warm my cheek
And I'm sick of thinking about your smile
And I'm sick of the way you used to make me feel
And I'm sick of reciting everything you've ever said to me
And I'm sick of using weed as a form of anxiety
Medicine
I'm average at best
Call me an asshole
I like to stress
About my future
But my future is starting to seem less and less promising
I'm average at best
Call me if you need me
I don't hate you, but in a sense I do
I hate the fact that I'll never see our wedding day
And I hate the fact that I'll never look at you the same way
And I hate how our conversations seem so short
And I hate the fact that you don't call me anymore
Yet I miss your voice
I miss the smell of our sheets
After we made love and you said to me
I love you
I'm average at best
I'm average at best
I'm average at best
I'm average at best

Bedtime Stories

So can you tell me that I'm stronger than what I think
Soaked brown hair, bright blue eyes, watching water run down the drain
But can you blame me, my hair is turning grey and I'm only 18
Expectations and fucked up opinions of how I should already be
My Mother told me when I was younger to follow your dreams
Be an artist or a writer or whatever you want to be
But did it work out
Did I listen to the stories I was told
Just cram school down your throat
Until the only thing I believe in is letting go
I'll let life go down the fucking drain
Let life slip through the cracks while I'm stuck in a daydream
Just questioning reality
Feeling as if I'm wasting away
Can you feel the pressure weighing down on your shoulders
Breaking you down onto your knees
Just watch as the water runs down the drain
Just like all of your hopes and dreams
I'll let life go down the fucking drain
But feel no pain
But feel no pain
Always stuck in a constant daydream
Just questioning my hopes and dreams

Heavy Cheekbones

So what happens
When it tastes like water
When it tastes like nothing when it touches your lips
And the weight on the shoulders to keep the smile that barely fits
Your cheekbones are growing tired
Growing exhausted from the memories that lie there
And the escapes that are no longer available
Make you realize no one ever seemed to care for you
But your makeup is running
And I know you've spent so many hours on it
I know I'm not a perfect man
I'm just an average kid with no long term plans
So how much do you expect from me
Don't you worry
I'll wipe the tears from your cheek
So what happens
When you go numb
When your body no longer feels like your own
So what happens when you are crying
With no one but your empty bed to call your home
And the darkness seems to be your only friend
The only one who seems to fully care
So when you cry
And hope to die
He will follow you closely and always be by your side
But your makeup is running
And I know you've spent so many hours on it
I know I'm not a perfect man
I'm just an average kid with no long term plans
So how much do you expect from me
Don't you worry
I'll wipe the tears from your cheek
So how could I be all that you want
Cause I am nothing at all
And I know
That I'll let you down
Since when did you care if I fall to the ground
Blood soaked sheets
My liver beat
From all the substances it contains
Dreaming of a day where I feel absolutely no more pain
At all

Cigarettes & Poetry
02:49
|

|
How does it make you feel
Does it hide the feeling that feel unreal
What's that on your lips
It's a cigarette that gives me coughing fits
Just watch it burn
Burn so slow
Self deprivation is all I know
I bet the blood tastes sweet
I bet you still think of me when you fall asleep
Sweet dreams
Can you hear my words
Write a song with a poetic verse
Yet my poems
Will never be as good as hers
So please tell me a lie
Please tell me I'm not wasting my time
Tell me these new habits
Won't one day take my life
Just watch it burn
Burn so slow
Self deprivation is all I know
I bet the blood tastes sweet
I bet you still think of me when you fall asleep
Sweet dreams

Subpar Average
03:04

It's like poetry
These words
You've heard them all before
With every single verse
With every single chord pattern possible
Cause I'm not original
I'm subpar average at best
Feel like a copycat of some other guy's music
My sound is kind of bland
My voice could certainly use a helping hand
But I am trying the absolute best that I can
I hope you can appreciate
I say sorry a lot
I just want everyone to like me
Try to please the crowd so nobody can see
That I'm hurting on the inside
But I swear to God I'm not that bad of a guy
Just had to many people fuck me over I don't even try
Cause I'm not original
I'm subpar average at best
Feel like a copycat of some other guy's music
My sound is kind of bland
My voice could certainly use a helping hand
But I am trying the best that I can
I hope you can appreciate
My words
My voice
My simply constructed poetic verse
My failed attempt at being heard
I talk real loud
I seem to shut everyone out
And I just can't seem to find myself
Cause I'm not original
I'm subpar average at best
Feel like a copycat of some other guy's music
My sound is kind of bland
My voice could certainly use a helping hand
But I am trying the best that I can
I hope you can appreciate me
