Goodbye It's so hard to get away when You're straying miles from your front lawn You're throwing in your notebook pretending your needs are all gone Lasting longer than a second wind I'll stop when it all begins Driving halfway across the country and writing this down on a napkin We're trapped in a moving cage And never mind being precocious Predicting my future In the late night hours

Making analogies every second Hellbent on finding clean breathing Now it all makes sense on why fall has become my favorite season Regardless of better days In pays to work on details Til even older emails have reevaluated my trail Why look back to lost time? when your views been brought with clutter Suffocating on dead air With your head under the covers Cause I don't strive for the never done cause it's too early to attempt To understand everything that I hear That catches my respect So this broken couch is good enough And this blanket will keep me warm As I finally float and inhabit this settling form And nullify my gooses ties Let those soothing days arrive Keep my medicine close by As my conscious memory resides Finding the top of the world Baptizes Chicago's skyline Blindfolding my judgement then kissing all you socialites goodbye There's no reason to wait Do it for sanities sake Pasting pictures under my eyelids And hoping never to wake up I'll take the moments I need them Forget about a concept They pay you back in nothing and call it our perfect project
We're parting ways Use this craze Coloring our skies out of grey While we're leaving those days of being ironic behind I've been saved by the grace of a two syllable word That tells all of my stress Goodbye (2x)
It's so hard to get answers when you're crippled with panic attacks And you're not sure, not sure what's happened Then you need to distract it In fact you cannot help but feel generic when everyone else has similar issues Holding on to your scrap book wishing there was somebody there to miss you My velcro hands don't understand the importance of letting go So my maturity steps in and pulls it apart nice and slow Surrounded by red apples And I wouldn't change a thing But I'll be glad to be back home to To be next to her again I found myself asking the audience To give away the answers Hoping that someone will reach back and give me an analysis when there are times when all you need is a push in the right direction So you're not trying to split apart and fight your own reflection
I've mastered the art of saying nothing But disguising it with everything How to mend my insides so the Devil has no bartering tools In twos we carry each other up the ramp of the up Meeting our maker at the top of this sampled heartbeat
Forcing me out of infamy For one more chance of being mortal But for now I'll free my own wings and spread my nice guy gospel It's a part of me that's been for as long as I remember trading sarcastic remarks With the opposite gender But I've been forced to take a second look and shake my cobwebs GONE Waving goodbye to my plane that's kept me from where I belong This isolation is my reward for years of being smug I'd leave it all behind but still keep the hands covered like this "goodbye"
We're parting ways Use this craze Coloring our skies out of grey While we're leaving those days of being ironic behind I've been saved by the grace of a two syllable word That tells all of my stress Goodbye
Ya'll aint ready, get up and leave with us, and don't be caught sleeping
