Burnt Bitter 03:13
Right place the wrong time Another page from the story of my life Hold me responsible For how it all plays out Dig deep and count down Burnt bitter bottom of the pot I love to lie and write down All my favorite thoughts Why don't you care about me Can't split the difference with myself No compromise on a state of mind I can't be anyone else Just let me know If you're sick of my ego Cause I'm sick of it too But I can't let it go Just let me know If you're sick of my ego Cause I'm sick of it too But I can't let it go I'm late I need to retract rebuild refresh the page Gotta move forward I'm so bored The longest nights of my entire fucking life I always fall apart by the time I fall asleep I need better dreams I need better dreams Maybe it's my fault I couldn't handle the weight I guess I made a mistake There's no one else to blame Right place wrong time Another page from the story of my life Hold me responsible for how it all plays out Dig deep and count down Burnt bitter bottom of the pot I love to lie and write down all my favorite thoughts Right place the wrong time Another page from the story of my life Hold me responsible For how it all plays out Dig deep and count down Burnt bitter bottom of the pot I love to lie and write down All my favorite thoughts

iQuit 02:44
Nothing to resolve but I'm still saying sorry You wanted stability Let's move across the country Don't wanna start fresh Let me take you with Couldn't settle for that I'm unreliable at best Should we talk it out Or leave it all behind us? I can come to terms If that's the way you want it My car smells like Newports I'd clean it if I cared more But it's a waste of time just like The last thing you called me No dice No time Bittersweet Time to make a decision Maybe it's a relief Bittersweet To think We tried as hard as we did And iQuit It's like you take in Every word that I'm saying And flip the meaning Guilts got hold of your conscience It's getting easier Now I know what I need It's not your jealousy I'm good with silence Are we really All that far from where we started? I wanna go back To where the fights felt harmless Back to when I thought you'd still Have love for me regardless But everybody leaves When life hits the hardest No dice No time Bittersweet Time to make a decision Maybe it's a relief Bittersweet To think We tried as hard as we did And iQuit No dice No time Bittersweet Couldn't hold it together Now I'm living for me Bittersweet To think We tried as hard as we did And iQuit No dice No time Bittersweet Couldn't hold it together Now I'm living for me Bittersweet To think We tried as hard as we did

In an act of self preservation I found myself starting to question If everything good has already happened Is my body even worth the price of insurance? Too broke and broken to digress Save 25 a week and get my afternoons back Honestly I've been feeling pretty indifferent Shed off a few years and like all my innocence Convinced my therapist That I think the world moved on From being out to get me I bet it proves me wrong Yeah I bet it proves me wrong Count the spread I'm in my head All roads seem to lead back to failed attempts To live a life Where I can sleep at night Both ends burnt out Now there's just a fucking fire I'm tired Can't make my bed Can't kill myself Cause I've got plans at ten I'm worthy of self preservation But I still feel like a failure Maybe everything good has already happened Life comes fast But also takes forever I'm worthy of self preservation But I still feel like a failure Maybe everything good has already happened Life comes fast But also takes forever I'm worthy of self preservation But I still feel like a failure Maybe everything good has already happened Life comes fast But also takes forever

Dollar Signs 02:45
It's all about the dollar signs, baby Gonna get so filthy rich That everyone I've ever met Will find a way to hate me They'll see When I'm in magazines at the top of The 30 under 30 Come try and take this from me I spent my whole life fighting I'm gonna buy this house that I've been renting four years running It's raining down from the top I'm climbing all the way up I'm gonna get my cut of All this new wave pop punk money And I'm like woah I've been stuck Between a rock and a butcher shop still Watch your backs because we're coming for you I'm gonna drink from your cup I'm gonna bite what you love I'm gonna live a different life For a minute or two It's all about the dollar signs, baby Gonna get so filthy rich That everyone I've ever met Will find a way to hate me They'll see When I'm in magazines at the top of The 30 under 30 Let's start with the unrequited love bit Cause I know, I know you're all suckers for it Connect with me like you're supposed to do Cause they're all songs we only wrote to sell to you I'm sick of it It's overkill I need something real I need to pay my bills It's all about the dollar signs, baby Gonna get so filthy rich That everyone I've ever met Will find a way to hate me They'll see When I'm in magazines at the top of The 30 under 30 The 30 under 30 It's all about the dollar signs, baby Gonna get so filthy rich That everyone I've ever met Will find a way to hate Me
