Tell me who I am
Cause I rely on you
To tell me when I’m wrong
In all the things I do
I guess that I think freely
But I do nothing really
Just stressing over nothing
Everything is nothing
Always hungry now
Never getting sleep
Cause you aren’t around
To tell me what to eat
Or what to wear
Or see or to believe
How can I ever be alone?
How can I ever find a home?
Is there an easy escape from this life?
Alright

Guess it started off innocent
Somehow it made any sense
Longing to see you again
Struggling to stay content
Guess I fell in love with your eyes
Never could replace the sky
You with your lullabies
Never dreamt of “you and I”
This won’t be enough
Won’t be your someone
Next time you’re around
Put my memory in the ground
How odd it is to be
All somebody can see
I have never once agreed
To anyone loving me
Let your heart do what it does
The past turns itself to rust
Don’t swear to God you’ll never love
It’s just not me, I am done
This won’t be enough
I won’t be your someone
Next time you’re around
Put my memory in the ground

Never had a penchant for imagery
Never knew how to speak emotionally
So you came around with a loss for words
While I sat around and tried to pick the right verbs
To say to you
In the order that you’d want me to
And I know
That the longer I think
The longer I drown in your world
Couldn’t find any hope in books I love
They all talk of the things I'm thinking of
While I'll never write perfect metaphors
The least I can do is open doors
For you to leave
To a life that doesn't include me
And I know
That if I never think
I'll never feel like I'm alone
And you press down on me
Yes, you press down on me
Til the tip of your pen breaks
Let your ink bleed on me
Yeah, bleed on me
So I won't make the same mistakes

Went to church on Sunday
There’s nothing for God to say
There truly is no sign
and nothing is really mine
Thought as my family prayed,
“I’ll probably burn someday.”
Turned to the pastor
Said, “What does it really take
to make it through heaven’s gate?”
All as he walked away
Away, away
Need your answers
Need the time
This ain’t your end
Sure as hell ain’t mine
Bless me, bless me
I’d like to believe
Ditch me, ditch me
I’d like to leave
The priest started preaching
“Son, there is a plan for you.”
Every pew’s broken here
Everyone lives in fear
Left the church on Sunday
“Ain’t coming back no more”
Need your patience
Need your faith
You won’t need me
I’ll be replaced
Bless me, bless me
I’d like to believe
Ditch me, ditch me
I’d like to leave
Sat in back as the gospel rang
This holy choir sang
“Cause I know that I am free
I am free, I’m free”

The Long Drive Home
06:34

Empty bed, stumble out the door
Tripping over shoes left on the floor
AC unit blowing hot air in my room
Another year, it’s soon, it’s soon, it’s soon
Sopping wet, sleeping in the sand
Barely breathing, looking for a hand
The waves drone on and on and on
Look up, I’m gone, I’m gone, I’m gone
Dirty jeans, turning pockets inside out
Getting rid of change I could do without
Running while my breath goes and goes and goes
I’ve been thinking about burning all my clothes
And starting someplace else
Thinking about no one but myself
And all the things I’d change
If I didn’t just stay the same
Highway entrance, looming every day
Quitting this, leaving Biscayne Bay
Thunderstorms chasing down my car
This ain’t the place to find out who you are
There’s no better way to die
There’s no good way to live a lie
Whisper “It’s alright,
Nobody ever wants to die”
I’m on the long drive home
On a road that I don’t know
I’m on the long drive home
Alone again
