it's had when where you're from
isn't safe as can be
for people like me
who identify as queer
and I'm not one to complain
or put make-up on my face
just know that I am here
and I'm not trying to start anything
I hope this finds you well
and I hope that you're not sick
cause I'm sick of all this shit
throw my body into an abyss
all around my face
oh all I see is hate
and I'm not one to complain
I'm just tired of the race and that's it
if there are people in this place
who can't be real where you were raised
put your hands up in the air
because we can relate
there is just one thing
about me that you can't change
it's that I'm here and I'm queer
and that's about it

staying up much later
I know it's bad for my health
it's been three years since I loved you
and since I ain't love no one else
I'll sleep with my door open
in hopes that you'll lie by my side
I used to mask all of my feelings
now they've got no place to hide
I'll lay them all out
just for you to see
got no time for memories
still I could use some growing
threw all of your pictures
right into the trash
then exactly a week later
i wished i could have them back
like I wish I wasn't anxious
no it really is a drag
the way I'm piloting this body
and I will until it crash
spare parts across the ground
and I'm crawling on my knees
begging for mercy
no sign of life is found
across this whole body
so take away the keys
I feel just like a child
I feel just like a child
I feel just like a child

take all of my patience
it don't do a goddamn thing
it feels like I've been wasting
all my precious memories
if these are the best years of my life
then I'm scared for what happens next
cause I've never felt this lonely
and I've never been so depressed
it's a parasitic moment
the way it gets under your skin
and I'll only try to hold it
and pray that it's just happenstance
it's like I can't find my mother
in a crowded grocery store
or I've been undercover
and I don't know the reason for
it's been too long since I fell down
well I ain't been climbing too high
I'll save that for a bad day
and hope that it don't effect my mind
but such is life I guess
I don't really feel that sense of self
since I've been acting too proud
I forgot to ask for help

when it all breaks down

take me on a mission
take me to the moon
took a long walk off a short pier
felt like the right thing to do
now my clothes are soaking
I'll take them to uncle luc
he said my life is a comedy
but I don't know if that's true
and when it all breaks down
when it all breaks down
when it all breaks down
what'll you hold on to?
this is not a farewell
or a message from the other side
but i hope we make it outta this
before we lose our minds
and I got a cat last month
but I don't think she realize
that this whole life is a myth
that won't succumb to compromise
and when it all breaks down
when it all breaks down
when it all breaks down
what'll you hold on to?
when it all breaks down
when it all breaks down
when it all breaks down
what do you got to lose?
I've been worrying for a while
if not this then that
yeah life was throwing punches
and I forgot to fight back
but bad it ain't forever
rarely does it last
I just hope this shit is over with
and if it ain't it's fast
cause when it all breaks down
when it all breaks down
when it all breaks down
I won't know what to do

I miss the dad I had when I was younger
I miss the mixed cd's he'd make me
so I'd know which beatles songs he liked
and I miss january snow storms
this year it feels like it's snowing every day
and I was barefoot all summer
playing sports out in the yard
and I remember when my brother
left for college I'd never cried so fucking hard
and that was last year
I miss the mom I had before the cancer
she didn't die but she's definitely not the same
when we found out they said we wouldn't have to shave her head
two months later we learned how things can change
I cried so much that summer
but I tried not to let it show
and I almost killed myself late that november
and my parents were the last ones to know
