Train Accident


I didn’t meet you there I dunno why you said I was there when I wasn’t
you died on the train and now your body is burned to a crisp

You said you’d meet me there next time, but there will be no next time, you are dead


You Said You’d Never Leave


All the times you said hello
Didn’t matter when you left
You left, it was good-bye
Of all the things I held against you
The thing I resented the most
That pissed me off was
The fact that in all your apathy
You kept hurting me and hurting me
And making me feel like
Someone who should not even be a human on this earth
Fuck you


Burnout


I burned out
I told all my fans
Adios
They were like why you quitting
I said ‘cause this is stupid
I don’t care about writing anymore this is stupid
I don’t care anymore about this shit
They were like umm but doesn’t this mean so much to you
I said no
Because what can mean a lot when you’re
Pouring your heart out on the page and
Nobody really cares
They only pretend to like your bullshit
But they just wanna get published in your journal
And go about their business
So I wanted to shut everything down I created a monster
But now I know
That monster was me
