Goodbye Forever

I got a sinkin feeling
It's only getting worse
I fade away to nothing
Like a polaroid in reverse
First facial recognition
Then colorful detail
Then finally the outline
Till there is nothing there
Goodbye forever, see ya never
Forget I was even here
Into the ether I'll wither
Begin to disappear
I'd dial any number
Just to hear it ring
But no one ever answers
What's the use in calling
Goodbye forever, see ya never
Forget I was even here
Into the ether I'll wither
Begin to disappear
Like a polaroid in reverse
polaroid in reverse
polaroid in reverse
polaroid in reverse
Goodbye forever, see ya never
Forget I was even here
Into the ether I'll wither
Begin to disappear

So Sorry

Sorry I can't control my mouth
My mouth
Sorry I can't control what comes out
Or how it sounds to you
Sorry that my youth is dried up
Dried up
Sorry, but yours too is just dust
And bones and stuff
But if you want me to be,
I'm so sorry
Every now and then, we all need
A little stroking
"Hey, you're doing great!" goes a long way
Goes a long way in the end
And every now and then I get tired
Of explaining
It's okay to be upset
When your day has been a shit one
But if you want me to be,
If you want me to be,
If you want me to be
I'm so sorry

Take Your Time
03:44

Like the running water,
never hot enough
To wash away the mask you wear
Like the fan that cools us,
never cool enough
To clear out all the stale hot air
Take your time
Take your time
Take your time
When I was a bottle in the ocean
I drifted till I found the shore
When I was an angel up in heaven
I sang without ever wanting more
Take your time
Take your time
Take your time
Breathing isn't easy if you rush it
Giving isn't giving with a debt
Sometimes there's an itch but you can't reach it
A fight isn't worth picking just to scratch
Like the running water,
never hot enough
To wash away the mask you wear
Like the fan that cools us,
never cool enough
To clear out all the stale hot air
Take your time
Take your time
Take your time

Ready for a fresh start
Ready for a new beginning
Ready to give up and blow it all away
Ready to say, "Fuck it"
Ready to come out of hiding
Ready to grow up and get out of the way
Strike up
The match is lit
Loosen your grip
And let it go
Will it be different?
Will it stay the same?
Will we finally get better at this game?
Will I say, "Sorry"?
Will I get help?
Will somebody save me from myself?
Strike up
The match is lit
Loosen your grip
And let it go...
I've heard myself say the same thing
Over and over this year
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over
Will it be different?
Will it stay the same?
Will we finally get better at this game?
Will I say, "Sorry"?
Will I get help?
Will somebody save me from myself?
Try to be patient.
Treat yourself with care.
Deep are the scars that need repair.
Try to be joyful.
Let your worries go.
Give them permission.
Let them go.
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over
