Anything 02:36
your white dress and your sky high shoes i told you that i would finally follow through but i couldn't leave that fucking motel room to be there... for you while your eyes hung low in a dead end dream of a house, four kids, someone else's family but im drunk again this crippling anxiety it's just too hard being anything last night i put on all your clothes so i could feel a little less alone but instead i found myself so fucking at home lost in the memory of your ghost your shadow

98' 02:48
when the sun sets i'll be gone in the springtime you'll hear this song i could write you i could even call but its says your machine is too full when i'm sleeping in you're already awake driving on and on endlessly the asphalt's home now so let me go you want the hate i hold so just take it slow

i keep trying to tell you everything is okay i keep trying to tell you im fading away in unanswered prayers community groups god didn't care about me or you and when your mom calls shes banging on bedroom doors your sister she falls asleep on the kitchen floor im drunk again sleeping in your bed for the hundredth time when your dad calls an endless ringing phone im with you here but i feel so damn alone now im drunk again sleeping in my bed at home for the first time in a long time and i kept trying to tell you that everything is okay and you kept trying to me im fading away in unanswered prayers and community groups god didn't care about me but maybe he did about you

Arizona 03:09
your mother's in the kitchen making coffee we're sleeping off the beers we drank last night hiding under covers from the cruel world you whispered everything will be fine I remember seeing you the first time an angel like I'd never seen before all dressed up at a party at your new place my mouth was sure glued to your stag carpet floor driving fifteen hours to see you the joy I felt when I saw your face I spent the next five days drunk and restless a memory I hope never fades away I remember seeing you the last time a long talk at your mothers house I sat there crying at your bedside while you pleaded with me to get out sometimes I wish I could change things other times I'm glad they're this way I still see the house we could've lived in and then I watch it burn up in flames

Laura 03:27
you wanted to wear your hair like laura but you prayed for a better fate you ate his flesh and drank his blood held your breath amidst the flood hoping for better days still say you met him at the party told your friends that he stole your heart in slurred words and beer breath kisses you sure fell apart the dust collects on your front porch you've seen the sunrise twice before spent this year collecting tears young love, tattoos, photos, beer but you're aching for more when you smile you know i smile too it's been a while since ive seen you...

Maple 02:19
sat at your table while you told me stories of where you've been the past 20 years asked if i believed you told you that i do but i can't believe that you're here do i look how you would've guessed crows feet and cigarettes never fully left where we lived said you couldn't live down the past your bulletproof vest a dream of a house and three kids so instead ill say my goodbyes back home and goodnight hope youre doing well in the cold hes there keeping you warm holding doors shut from the storm but in the end we all die alone.

Terminal C 03:52
coffee for the late night crowd's rolling in put on your fake smile and that light baby blue apron practicing your hellos goodbyes at the same time watching everyone go into that dark sky crying out your eyes in some company breakroom telling yourself lies like you'll be out of here soon you say "i'll meet some nice boy and he'll take me far away from this place get married have a couple kids" living out the life that you've always dreamed but this single room apartment gets smaller everyday no matter how many graveyard shifts i just can't make enough to save me....
