It Is What It Is

hope the winter is cold
if my prediction is bold
will it upset you?
i've got it all figured out
hope the devil is dry
it brings a tear to my eye
evaporate me
maybe we can work it out
wrote a guide to your life
prologue cuts like a knife
sliced evenly
a tragedy of modern times
if you believe what you see
well that's bad news for me
cause i'm a let down
i'm sorry i'm just coming clean
i could be cynical
thoughts can be liberal
can't you see it?
can you see right through my act?
you said baby, i'm just hoping for a chance
my words just aren't as solid as my glance
but i'm trying
blacking out, just trying to speak
you said baby, i'm just hoping for a chance
my words just aren't as solid as my glance
but i'm trying
blacking out, just trying to speak
that new tech you have is so sleek
that new theh you have is so sleek
i'm trying, attempting to blend into you
hope the summer is cold
and i'll do as i'm told
cause i'm a sucker
maybe karma is an actual thing
you said baby, i'm just hoping for a chance
my words just aren't as solid as my glance
but i'm trying
blacking out, just trying to speak
you said baby, i'm just hoping for a chance
my words just aren't as solid as my glance
but i'm trying
blacking out, just trying to speak

Irish Goodbye

hey brother, hey dude, hey man
what's the situation? what's the weekend plan?
you didn't have to do, you didn't have to do me like that
don't mean to be shameful or mean
but these highland lights look different when you're three months clean
please don't come around, please don't come around me with that
the pressure it cuts so deep
blurry nights were different when i was free
listen to the sound
listen to the slurred speech
march 17, thought i could fly
the only time i'm Irish when i say goodbye
please don't come around, please don't come around me with that
i'm glad that i've shared with you all that i've felt
and we talked it out
i'm glad to have a friend that's there for me
when it's convenient for them
hey buddy, it's in your genes
one won't hurt, takle it for the team
but it's lonely in my house when everyone does the same thing
swipe left, swipe right, swipe up
it's only getting easy when it's in your cup
i'm a hypocrite for that
i really don't know you like that
i'm not a gambling man
i bet i'll fall off faster than you can
bring it all to me
forget to close my tab
one step, two step, fall asleep
bring me home
bring me something cheap
but please don't bring me home, please dont bring me home like this
i'm glad that i've shared with you all that i've felt
and we talked it out
i'm glad to have a friend that's there for me
when it's convenient for them
hey brother, hey dude, hey man
what's the situation? what's the weekend plan?
you didn't have to do, you didn't have to do me like that

you begged me for forgiveness
you said, i miss you, i swear it's the last time
your cold skin, your weakness
don't think that i didn't notice
your eyes have lost their shine
i remember when they reflected in the sky
the shape of your smile that night
just don't think i forgot you before getting on the bus
befriending to the fullest but forgetting about us
just don't think i forgot you that day
you begged me for forgiveness
but this time it was later than last time
your hot tempered awareness
your colder skin
it's harder to see that your eyes have lost their shine
i remember when they glistened so bright
the shape of your smile that night
just don't think i forgot you before getting on the bus
befriending to the fullest but forgetting about us
just don't think i forgot you that day
you begged me for forgiveness
but this time it was really the last time
your short breath, in fairness
you're self aware it's five in the morning
and holy shit, do i miss that twinkle in your eyes
and now they're as dark as mine
just don't think i forgot you before getting on the bus
befriending to the fullest but forgetting about us
just don't think i forgot you that day

As For Me

very calm demeanor
a very gentle touch
it was the last semester
let's be honest, it wasn't much
you've had enough of art school
you can feel the greatness in your grasp
so close your fingers
it'll pop up pretty fast
as for me, i'm still trying to get by
can't make my rent cause a couple shitty habits
i still haven't broke
still hanging out at the same house
i've got the same job
been going on walks to clear my head a lot
New York City, greenwich to be exact
left a lot to be desired
a lot of cab fare we didn't get back
observing Rockefeller
a few paintings and some other stuff
soaking up the smoggy smells of the local ramen shop
you ordered the number ten
i ordered the number two again
as for me, i'm still thinking up a plan
i'm just taking it day by day
and some years that i won't get back
call it shameful
a self inflicted wound
but i know my worth and i'll never stop chasing the dream
as for me, i'm still trying to get by
can't make my rent cause a couple shitty habits
i still haven't broke
still hanging out at the same house
i've got the same job
been going on walks to clear my head a lot

the sun shines through my windows
early morning, but I'm shutting all my blinds
because I don't feel like seeing anything outside
I wish it would just rain all the time
a good excuse to close my eyes
avoid my social life and complain like I always do
it's in my head
and I don't know what to do about it
it happened again
and there's not much I can do about it
no time to think
so I think I'll sit alone
put on some songs and pour myself the tallest, stiffest drink
and I'll dance around the room
and smile blankly like we used to back then
except this time I'm older and alone
and it's not so exciting
it's in my head
and I don't know what to do about it
it happened again
and there's not much I can do about it
the feeling weighs down
and my shoulders are so heavy
I can barely lift my arms
my body breaking down
to the sight of flashing billboards
shining through my kitchen window
close the blinds again
cause I just don't want to hear about it
save your sympathy
I'm not sure that you're helping
and I just don't want to hear about it
consider this a turning point
to all the shit I did and said when I wasn't there
I think I need to move away and get my brain straight again
I'm cutting all my ties to the city
and I'm just not looking back
and there's not much you can do about it
it's in my head
and I don't know what to do about it
it happened again
and there's not much I can do about it

Annabelle
magenta was the color of the shirt you wore
at the gas station countertop
honey, please don't leave
you're the only customer i've had all day
Annabelle
you know i'm 17
why are you selling me this pack of camel wides?
you know it can split my sides by the time i'm 35
Annabelle
the looney tunes shirt got so faded out
over the years
it still brings a smile to my face
what a style, what a statement
can you tell?
i'm stumbling over my words
with my sweaty palms
and eyes that keep shifting
not that you care
you see a deeper side
and you cried
we don't always see the brighter side
we don't always see the brighter side
we don't always see the brighter side, today
Annabelle
your voice is so soothing
with your southern drawl
thank you for choosing me to speak to
you din't have to do that
i just wish i could've known you better than i did

as i sit so desperately
i'm hoping that tomorrow, hoping that tomorrow never comes
find out so suddenly
a pill i couldn't swallow, a pill i couldn't swallow anymore
you come home so angrily
you're staring at your phone
and i'm staring at my phone
then say goodnight
so disconnected from one another
i hope we learn to love each other more
calm down
so gracefully
i'm hoping that it rains
so that i can feel something on my skin
i'm just hoping that
the sound of the highway slowly dies down before bed
now we're laughing like we did
before we let the nightmare
swallow up the story book start
now there's vibrence
in a deadly situation
and all the saturation and evolved
i think i'll give tomorrow
i think i'll give tomorrow my best shot
