Hang On, Hang On

Hang on, hang on
Your righteousness is killing me
You just don't seem to get it
that this is just reality
I'm interrupted by laughter
I'm interrupted by applause
Of course I hear everything you're saying
But there are rules and there are laws
You think I can't understand it
you think I don't know how you feel
You think that I don't seem to get it
But you are *so* brave and sincere
I'm taking steps, I'll get around to changing things
but I'm interrupted yet again
By hecklers on the side who think that i don't realize
This is only where it begins
If put a word wrong
It always cancels out
I know they will not forget
I will still wait it out

Back To You
03:32

I've become everything you hated
When you were my age
I'll realize you were right soon
I'll be coming back home to you
I can't control myself
Only you can control me
I can't control myself
I'll come running to tie your shoes
I'll come running to tie your shoes
I am giving up
I am giving in
I'm not a fire
I'm not a whirlwind
You don't deserve someone
who would try to rebel
You don't deserve that
I will put myself on hold
I will put myself on hold
I will put myself on hold
For you
Want me to stand up
But I should just figure things out
I can't make you more mad
About whatever you're mad about
The stakes are always too high
for anyone to say they're hurting
You never saw this happen to your friends
But now you're seeing it in person
Now I don't wanna fight
Do you think I want to offend?
Do you think I want to go out
Worried I won't come back again?
I was in over my head
thinking I could try to rebel
You don't deserve that
I will put myself on hold
For you
I will put myself on hold
I will put myself on hold
I will put myself on hold
For you

I was in a car
I recognized your earrings on the back of your head
at the back of the bus,
You were on your way
to the meeting with some freaks on south street
showing up early
That used to be us,
I don't go there, I don't go back
When I do I'm late
You're too much to have around
When I need to think straight
I wish I could be in a vacuum like you
But I have standards and I got stakes
I'm moving closer to the middle of the frame
I was in a car
I recognized your earrings on the back of your head
at the back of the bus,
You were on your way
to the meeting with some freaks on south street
showing up early
That used to be us
I don't go there, I don't go back
When I do I'm late
You're too much to have around
When I need to think straight
I wish I could be in a vacuum like you
But I have standards and I got stakes
I'm moving closer to the middle of the frame
I know this ivory tower is a jenga tower
It's so easy to topple over but
I'm sick of the grieving at the dot of the hour
I can't take it
I'm not strong enough
I don't go there, I don't go back
When I do I'm late
You're too much to have around
When I need to think straight
I wish I could be in a vacuum like you
But I have standards and I got stakes
I'm moving closer to the middle of the frame
I'm moving closer to the middle of the frame
I'm moving closer to the middle of the frame

Palm Beach Stress Dreams
03:44

I forgot myself
Everything was rotating
I was silent
Re-enacting 4'33 on the kitchen chair
(Can't reach the stairs)
Ticking clocks and dishwashers forming musique concrete
I need water
I need air
I need a book to read
Well, what did you expect
When you let
Voices in your head
Well what did you expect
When you let
Voices decide what you do next
I’ll wait a while
I have no idea what I’m feeling
Put me down to figure it out
Cause I'll wait a while
Until I start breathing
It won't last
It will pass
It just takes a while
I thought I lost her
But I saw her, I picked her up, I drove her up
Past Christmas lights to the front door to my parents
Nobody trusts her (they heard what happened)
Everyone expects us to blow and throw a fit
She just needs water
And she swears that
She won't split again
Saying whatever she could to make herself sound like she used to
Enough to make me forget what was done [and] what I was put through
Enough to double check and see if the troubles were made up in my head
and she asks me, what did you expect?
I'll wait a while
I have no idea what I’m feeling
Put me down to figure it out
Cause I'll wait a while
Until I start breathing
It won't last
It will pass
It just takes a while
I need to wake up and unmerge
I try to find you in everyone
But I still see you right when I don't need to
I get flashbacks when I walk in the house
over something that I dreamt about
Keep down memories
In my Palm Beach stress dreams
during family holidays
They won't leave my kitchen chair

Fell From The Tree Rochester, New York
I fell from a tree.
I am in a fog and I catastrophize.
I am not ENOUGH, but that's ok.
