Roll for Initiative!

Initiative, I want it
So I can wake with the promise
That I'll never have to be uncomfortable
Initiative, I need it so these jackasses can beat
And I'll never have to leave my only home
And that we won't die right as we leave our homes
I’m waking with the promise that I’ll be uncomfortable as long as people take me as responsible
I go to all these parties cause I can’t seem to get started and write down a list of long term life goals
So give all of us initiative so we won’t ever feel like shit and resort to making these awful sounds
I don’t think I’m ready for shit and I don’t feel like anything and I might try to fix it but I won’t

I know you wouldn’t believe me
But I’ve seen lots of crazy things
Can I come over we’ll talk about them
I know what you’re gonna tell me
And I don’t wanna think it through
I wanna shout my words all over you
I already know what you’re gonna say
Dude you gotta believe me
This is the last time I’m here for a while
I know you got better things to do
But I’m used to this
And I’m used to not being around you
I know you shouldn’t trust me
A no-rate celebrity
Please someone come pity me
Aren’t I so lovely
Leaving me and leaving you
My rides here we’ll talk again soon
Oohhhhh
I’ll try to find some way to break it off
So you don’t have to
Oooohhhhhh I’m sick of thinking about the shit I’ve done
(Goodnight, god dammit!)
I already know what you’re gonna say
Dude you gotta believe me
This is the last time I’m here for a while
I know you got better things to do
But I’m used to this
And I’m used to not being around you

Kill me with your pessimist poision
Sink in the bath and drown, and drown
All the corners folding in against you
Making a yield sign, Found, Not Found
Sober up and your body is a temple
Fix me up and I’m losing it
Use your words to make yourself all shameful
Use your mind to go down, and down
Hit me and I’ll take it
I’ve already taken it
But at the end of the day,
You’re still looking for a purpose
Kiss me with your obvious solution
Shoot your shot and miss again
Kill me with your pessimist poision
Sink in the bath and drown, and drown
All your needless anti meditation
Making sure you’ll never be the same again
Shock yourself to make a bitter foolish statement
End up with yourself, yourself

PART 7:
I'm trading all my worth for some more dignity
I'm trading all my dignity for something that will please me
And I’ve crossed a line
When I get back sometime
I'm giving myself up for you to control me
You’ll be the pilot and I’ll do what you do to me
And I’ve hit the line
I won’t be back soon
PART 8:
I got cut off but at what cost says all my time
You can't keep doing this to me
I fixed the clock, I stopped my watch still I am tempted
Why are you doing this to me
And you keep giving me hints
I keep on blowing them off
The same ringing has been in my ears and I
Just wanna cut them off

I Take It Once
I Take it to the kitchen and I tighten up my body
Nobody’s gonna listen but the drunk
The stoned, the un in control
So I take it with a fucking pinch of salt
And I Wanna loosen up
I wanna strike gold
Nobody here is into it nobody wants to know
I do what I want, my want isn’t the plan
I need somebody cause I’m not really trying
You want a love, but your love is ugly
I want a life, cause my life is turning
Into a series of mistakes
You can’t help it schadenfreude
A cop car, a drunk tattoo
I’m fucking sick of everything that I wanted to do
And I don’t care if It sounds like shit
I want a good song but I’m not singing it

The news never says what I’m thinking,
I’m thinking that I’ll skip town, and stay awake for days
Maybe it’s accurate to think nobody wants to hear all the bad shit that someone has to say
I call my friends and I ask to hang out with them
And I am grabbed by the drink in my head
He’s always wishing I was dead
So I’ll continue sitting around
I don’t wanna think about anything
Cause I ruin everything
Maybe I hate the fuckin silence
Or maybe I’m just way too tired
Oh what’s the point of even trying
This day has got me so defeated
Four more of these and I will lose it
And I don’t think I can take it, it’s so much easier to lay down
The songs you write have too much meaning
I never wanna hear that sentence
But I gotta fill the verse with something, so I can work out other problems (oh, problems)
Maybe I hate the fuckin silence
Or maybe I’m just way too tired
Oh what’s the point of even trying
And I’m so sick of all the garbage
Filling my mouth when I get lonely
I gotta find some way to talk about it, about it
And I don’t want something to hurt me
I made myself beg for mercy
I Gotta Think about my purpose

Sinking Ships
01:41
|

|
These ships have only failed us on the way to our leisure
And everyone removed the ways to make it easier
My fortune and my prophecy will die right at my birth
And the only one to blame is everyone
You’re selfish to a point where I can’t see you as a man
Just clinging to the hope that god will reach out both his hands
And the crew have started stabbing holes in rafts on both the ends
As the water rises up onto the deck
Why should I survive when I’ll never again be dry
And sinking ships will only drag us down beneath the sky
I’m hoping for a rescue or a boat to come on by
And I know for a fact I won’t survive

I don't’ think i wanna love you anymore
And i dont even wanna go outside
I dont feel i wanna like things anymore
And I just wanna stay in bed and hide
I dont wanna pick up my phone anymore
Cause I dont know whos on the other side
I don’t think I wanna be here anymore
Cause I\ve been talking to myself more than you guys

Eyes are shut, they look at me
I feel my body all over me
I see a lover, I see a god, I feel myself
In a bed, In a house
Being seen through a wall
I see my dad I see my death
I see a car
Eyes are shut, they look at me
I feel my body all over me
I see my lover, I see the sun I feel myself

Wasting My Time
03:49
|
|||
|
I’ve wasted all my time on this
And now I feel like a scumbag
For wanting things that everyone else wants
So you’ll love me more
If I change my mind and my body and what I talk about
I cant feel
How I wanna feel
All the time
And I can’t think about
Anyone else
Other than myself
Am I wasting my time by
writing these songs
Am I easily influenced
I won’t get an answer
I should just let the music play now
Cause I don’t even know who is gonna relate to this
