i've been dying for two weeks now
and i'm trying to forget
i think i can do anything
but not with myself in my head
and i hate it
i hate it
i hate
i hate it
but i love it just the same
and of course i know that anyways
i'm the one to take the blame
whatever, i don't care, cause this shit sukcs
i don't mind if i lose the fight
i'd rather just go on my phone all day
and hate myself all night
there's no reason for me to feel this way
because i know that i'm just fine
but i worry anyways cause i know
that i'm running out of time
i can't
do anything to change myself
cause i have to want to try to change myself
ooh
i can't tell you anything
and you will tell me nothing
i don't know why i can't do this
anymore
i don't know why (repeat)
but on i go anyway
driving down king st anyway
going through rockwood anyway
driving on lancaster every day
and when does it all stop anyway?
it might not even matter
it probably doesn't matter
does college even matter
cause -- --- did fine without it
could i be alright without it
i won't be alright without it
stop repeating (repeat)
all these thoughts get out of my head (repeat)

hook:
if i screamed in the void
would you scream back?
and if i admit it's you
could i relax?
we're transportin now
i'm transformin' now
i don't quite know how
i'm so tired of opening my eyes
and i can't believe that i get to decide
i write these letters to get em to like me
and i do this shit so that they won't reject me
i don't know a thing
i can't fuckin sing
i am terrified no one is listening
are you listening?
(hook)
whoa
(hook)

i can't wait to get out of here
but right now i'm content
if you only fall in love at the end
does it count?
i'm in the eye of the storm
but i'm still scared to go outside
and i
have no doubt in my mind
that you aren't the only one
but that doesn't mean that it's not fun
under the stars at night
at rockwood
i don't know whether i should
i don't know how i feel about fate
or religion or any of that shit
who has time for philosophy nowadays
because the world is ending
and i just sit in school
but when it's just us we float in outer space
a hundred million miles away
and i burn up when i fall back down to earth
it's a shame
that i can't see
what's right in front of me

haven't thought about you in two months i guess
or last week
but does it really matter?
can you believe it's been five months
it felt just like forever
i can never tell you what i feel
but i can tell you what you wanted to hear
and when it's all over
can you tell me when it's over
don't have time to remember
so eventually i forget
the trumpets fade
drift to another
and the pictures seem out of place
basically
the soundtrack isn't ruined
but the setting cannot escape
for a month we could do anything
for six months i would do anything
you can't see me anymore
and words mean nothing
but for last year i still write
and next year i will write
so fade
and fade
into the summer
and i sweat
and sit on the bench
and think about what this could be
why do i think about you
do you ever think about me too
if the summer never ended
we'd be golden

yesterday isn't real
and tomorrow doesn't know
but the present is eternal
i'm sorry
the sunset's growing brighter
and my brain is gettting tired
i don't know whether i'm ready for goodbye
i never thought that the year would come
so i don't know how to cope
it will never be the same once we're gone
when i'm in a different state
will i remember the place that i loved to hate?
or will i just focus on the days ahead?
these questions fog my eyes
but i know i'll never find
all the answers that i seek
i wish i could write about myself
but i'm not a fucking mirror
i should hurry up cause i've only got two months
it will never be the same once we're gone
