I've spent so much time trying to be the person you wanted me to be
I never asked myself if you would do the same for me
I don't think you would, I don't think you care
I don't think I'm anything to you
I'm just someone you can share your stories with
You don't wanna talk about anything but you
You don't care that I've been fighting to keep on breathing
You don't wanna know anything about me
We only talk when you want something
So what's the point in talking anymore?
The best word to use is stagnant
We've gotten nowhere and I feel like I'm just wasting my time wanting something from all the nothing you keep creating
Will this get better or is this permanent?
Are you always so damn selfish? Holy shit!
None of this feels worth it
You don't wanna talk about anything but you
You don't care that I've been fighting to keep on breathing
You don't wanna know anything about me
We only talk when you want something
So what's the point in talking anymore?
You're so self-absorbed
You don't care about anyone else
No you don't care about anything but yourself
You don't seem bothered that I've been distant
I don't leave the house for weeks at a time
I'm constantly contemplating my life
Cried out for you to help
You only told me about self
As if that'd fix my problems
I don't know what to say anymore
I feel like it's impossible for you to care about me in any way that isn't selfish
I don't feel like you're there for me in the ways that I've always been there for you
Next time you need someone to talk to do us both a favor
Don't talk to me

Hypocrisy
03:31
|

I've got friends who say that I'm doing the right thing
But why does the right thing feel so wrong?
There's people I've never met before celebrating my defeat
And I feel like a coward but I don't know what I can say to them
They made their minds up
There's no changing that now
They made their minds up
They think they've got it all figured out
But oh-oh-oh if they knew the hypocrisy
If they knew they were standing next to someone who stands against what they believe in
It’s so blatantly nonsensical
They have their champ and they're raising his arm up but I never walked into the ring
It wasn't a fight I wanted to begin with
I'm just trying to do what's best for me
When I'm surrounded by people who only want the worst for me
How can I expect anything but negativity
I need to face away, step back and live my life for me again
I need to move on and teach myself to breathe
I've spent so much time and so much life
Trying to take a lesson from this under the premise it was all my fault
But it's not
But oh-oh-oh if they knew the hypocrisy
If they knew they were standing next to someone who stands against what they believe in
It’s so blatantly nonsensical
They have their champ and they're raising his arm up but I never walked into the ring
It wasn't a fight I wanted to begin with
I'm just trying to do what's best for me
I've done everything I can to try to be a better man but you still expect better
At some point we're gonna see that sometimes the problems not me

Self Improvement

I'm sick of always hating me
Sick of always talking down on myself
I believe in self-improvement
But what if self-improvement isn't helping?
I just need to grow
Just need to move past what I fear I'm becoming
I know it's been said before but I don't like who I was four years ago
I just need to stop
Just need to change
Just need to stop hating myself with every single thing that I say
I know that it's selfish
I need to focus on me for a change
Getting past the self-hate
I'm sick of being so damn pessimistic when it comes to how I handle my stress
I'm sick of being anxious
I'm sick of writing songs about hating myself
I need positivity
I need something better to get through the pain
It's hard to move past this
It's hard to put a smile on a face I disdain
I just need to stop
Just need to change
Just need to stop hating myself with every fucking thing that I say
I know that it's selfish
I need to focus on me for a change
Getting past the self-hate

Cynical

You said I was cynical
That I would never trust anyone but myself you said
I was selfish as I was anxious all my work would be for nothing
You wanted more from me although I'd given you all I had in me to give in the end
I think all you wanted was for me to give up
I won't be walked on anymore
I won't take part in this
And I won't be used by a friend who was never there for me in the end
I feel betrayed and for once I feel that's justified
I'm feeling like it's all your fault that I felt abandoned like I had no place to go
And it just doesn't sit right with me after all the shit you put me through I'm the one left waiting for closure
And I don't feel like this is something I should get over
But so it goes
You had a sick way of giving me hope
You acted like you were changing for the best
You were just playing a game with me
You're pushing all of the blame to me
You never cared
But you were always there to pat me on the back right above the knife you put in it
I won't be walked on anymore
I won't take part in this
And I won't be used by a friend who was never there for me in the end
I feel betrayed and for once I feel that's justified
I'm feeling like it's all your fault that I felt abandoned like I had no place to go
And it just doesn't sit right with me after all the shit you put me through I'm the one left waiting for closure
And I don't feel like this is something I should get over
But so it goes

Something Has Changed
03:36

How do I start this?
I guess I should start at where I've been
I've been at the lowest point in my life and I fought through it
It's been exhausting
There’s been a lot of nights where I've lost control
But I'm not finished, I'm not leaving yet
I’m not done with this world
Last year I was in the same place, I was in a worse space inside my mind
It's gotta mean something
This year I'm doing the same thing but the good part is it's all a bit easier
If it counts for anything
Something's changed
I'm getting lost in the sky again but this time it's not existential
The sky looks beautiful this time of day
And maybe I failed to be stoic but that's okay
Cause I'm still here and that's enough for me
Last year I was in the same place, I was in a worse space inside my mind
It's gotta mean something
This year I'm doing the same thing but the good part is it's all a bit easier
If it counts for anything
Something's changed
Last November I told Kyle I'd write some songs about getting better
But everyone who's listened knows I'm struggling trying get myself together
Maybe learn about contentment, gain some self-worth
But the mantra keeps repeating in my mind
I have to take it one day at a time
One breath at a time
I have to take it one day at a time
One breath at a time
And it feels good to look back and think that I grew despite the things I'd seen
I hate my past self but now that's not me
And maybe this happiness isn't permanent, tomorrow I'll probably be sad again
But at least for a little while I feel at home in my skin
