Anybody Else

I know why I've always said no
I'm too scared of goodbye
So instead I live this half life
And to most of me that's fine
'Cause on the one hand
It feels like all I've ever known
But on the other
I see I'm losing my control
Oh I never thought
The fight would be this long
If it were anybody else
I would've said sorry by now
But this is just me and myself
And I don't know how to love her
They all tell me that it's not truth
And for those moments I can see
But then alone I hit the bottom
And my ascents even fool me
'Cause on the one hand
I know that I can do hard things
But on the other
It just has such a hold on me
Oh I never thought
The fight would be this long
If it were anybody else
I would've said sorry by now
But this is just me and myself
And I don't know how to love her
All I want is just to be free
But I'm not sure I know how
Every time I find solid ground
Something new just comes around
Well on the one hand
I see just how far I've come
But on the other
I'm still afraid of one outcome
Oh I never thought
The fight would be this long
If it were anybody else
I would've said sorry by now
But this is just me and myself
And I don't know how to love her
And I'm not sure she'd forgive
And I don't know if that would even
Change anything

Seneca Lake

Remember when you made me think
I could run around Seneca Lake?
Well I had to stop but you picked me up
And you said I was so strong
It was the farthest I'd gone
Remember all our secret pacts,
The way you never let me laugh?
But when I felt so down you'd turn things around
And you said, "I'll be your friend
When they send you away again."
I've given you everything
They all said you'd never be satisfied
But you were, you were
When I lied
And I wish that everything were bad
Then maybe I'd only feel raging mad
But you helped and I felt
So seen, even loved
Though you left me with no one
Remember when you made me think
I could run around Seneca Lake?
Well those were lovely summer days
You only let me waste away
'Cause I had to say no
So you wouldn't go away
And I've always strived
To keep you alive
And for what?
Tell me why
When you only want me to die
You keep me up at night
It's not that I don't dream
It's that you strangle me
You've left me so afraid
They'll all go away
Then the only one I'll have is you
So really what else can I do?

Sisyphus

Sisyphus had it easier
Than I make it for you
At least he knew that that rock would fall
Every time and it wasn't his fault
'Cause sometimes it seems so calm
Then it's just the eye of the storm
Well I don't understand
Why you'd stick around through all of that
You said that I drove you nuts
Well I drive myself crazy too
There you are with your open hands
And I watch myself just pull back
'Cause sometimes it seems so safe
Then that old tape starts to play
Well I just want to know
When that melody will finally go
I thought I was helping you
By pulling back when things got so blue
But I'm sorry for those hurtful thoughts
'Cause I can't control where you give your love
And it's meant so much to me
To finally believe
Often I think that I should
Just face this all on my own
It's worked before and it feels secure
It's just all that I have known
'Cause sometimes it seems so real
Then I fear the big reveal
Where everything I trust
Breaks down and it all just turns to dust
But I'm living in the past
And missing what's amassed
'Cause that hasn't been the case
It's time to abandon that old tape

The Joke's on You
03:08
|

You promised me everything
You said you would give me wings
So I jumped aboard with a spring in my step
Never once stopped to look back
You, you gave me just enough
So I could never call your bluff
They said I was pretty tough back then
So you took away all my friends
Well now the joke's on you
'Cause I see right through
You're a fucking fool
To think I'd let you take away my life
You said I'd be overjoyed
When I finally learned to avoid
But that only left me annoyed and done
So then you taught me how to run
You robbed me of all my time
You only let me spew lies
You wanted my dreams to die at sea
Hell I almost got that degree
Well now the joke's on you
'Cause I see right through
You're a fucking fool
To think I'd let you take away my life
Well you stole those dozen years
Where you shrouded me in fears
And you only gave me tears
When I would uncover your lies
And you left me so alone
I didn't even know
That that was your MO
I thought that it was all just me
Well now I see
So the joke's on you
'Cause I see right through
You're a fucking fool
To think I'd let you take away my life
You promised me everything
But I went and I found my wings
So now I'll just stand back and sing goodbye
Sit back and watch me fly
