please don't move on from me, i know we don't have anything we never did but i have to let you know i have to let you know when i see you with some other, it ain't fair my lips can't move, can't ask my eyes to be spared you look at me with your hands in her hair but i'll tell you one thing: when you don't talk to me everything else does i hear the fleas and the trees sayin shit they don't mean see your face in abstract white lace my black hands won't get you dirty unless you ask for it we can fuck and run as long as i can say we once had something and i do

Bare to Beat 05:36
you're my one and you already have one so that leaves me without one lost my mind, how'm i thinking without one i'm not you're my one with your eye on a blonde one i wish i was beside one knock some sense into my one i'm not you're my world so my world is so boring can't feel rain but it's pouring give me my sense of touch you're my world honestly i'm so tired from this job you are fired i know that you never signed up what the fuck what am i doing in a basement alone seeing your face your name in my mouth's a sweet taste heart heavy like a fucking brick, it can't race your face your face eyes open and i can't see all i hear is breathing but i'm barely breathing sick to death, you're not here blood pumping nothing that i need dizzy, but there's no drink what the fuck am i doing your face oh no my face may look like i don't give a fuck but my fingers inside you felt how twisted up you are i want scratch-and-bite-war-torn love but i fight for this coffee-stained love tell me why i don't know this is it you you're the one, i am hit little beat little bruised but it's beating for you and as long as i can bear to beat it beats for you and as long as i can bear to beat it beats for you

tryna write until it goes away what am i really mad about is it because of you, or cause i'm living in my mother's house cause i don't have a fucking job i'm afraid to leave anyway afraid my dreams are so damn big they'll blow half of the world away afraid for the fate of my family afraid you'll never understand me afraid i have the power to do anything that you dare me despite the fact that some days getting out of bed's the biggest battle cause the voices in my head are talking shit and all the prattle's louder than the medication i've been taking half my life and i'm a lover but i'd sooner die than be somebody's wife i just want the world to know my mother fucking name so "tristan carter-jones" the only thing you mother fucking sayin it's my time it's not time it's my time and i'm fine 3am and i'm speechless i'm thinking of you again feeling like scum smoking out momma's bathroom again i'm 2 again a lost baby tripping round ruins of your lips on my hips can i get a take 2 again or take 6 the sixth shot tryna forget no matter how hard i close my eyes can't blink away the regret of the time i said the thing you never say never tell her that you love her never say it never give you away work out like two-a-days and the sweat still smells like you you're far gone, but i still grip his lapels like it was you run around ass out i swear he can see what i'm thinking he knows it's for you i'm drinking it ain't no sand, but i'm sinking it's my time it's not time it's my time and i'm fine tryna be secret but you can always hear pop and the twist of the bottle when i'm near stress dreams the only thing that make my heart race used to snort or shoot when my blood pumped at this pace what do i do now that i'm "clean" or something and i binge drink every night like it's not the same thing but i still sniff hard when you're around tryna catch the airborne parts of you if i lose you in one place, in the bottle i will find you i wanna get some cash and bring another substance home but i popped off friday night like i ain't have no student loans but we can fuck as hard as i want to swallow what i make'll make your head go boom it's my time it's not time it's my time and i'm fine don't let my vocabulary fool you, i'm so poorly adjusted i fear i'm equipped for nothing i can't say no to a drink unless i'm blacked out i can't stop thinking of you unless i'm sacked out and even then i feel you in ways that you cannot understand and then the sheets get fogged up cause i'm reckless with my hand and every time i close my eyes the only thing that i see is my own brains and blood and guts and things dripping out of me after i bust my head against the wall cause dad won't answer mommy's calls to help out with these fucking bills that he half made, cause i'm half his and these pills can't numb how terrified i am of everything and i will lose my mind but i'm fine it's my time it's not time it's my time and i'm fine i'm still a bad, bad man and i'm fine

Busy Puts 03:32
i don't sleep too much these days, and not for lack of trying busy keeps the girl awake, and keeps the eyes from drying write and draw it out all what you see when on your back with eyes wide open, tightly shut and when you hear doors crack don't be afraid when hands move quickly fill the space the light has made just be grateful they are hands and, when you asked him, he forgave busy puts the girl to sleep and keeps the girl awake just be thankful that you only asked him for your soul to take he won't weep too much these days, and not because i'm gone busy keeps the boy awake and keeps the curtains drawn roll around in sheets and feel the skin but just your own when brain blacks out in crowded space, but open up you're just alone don't be afraid when hands move quickly fill the space the light has made just be grateful they are hands and, when you asked him, he forgave busy puts the girl to sleep and keeps the girl awake just be thankful that you only asked him for your soul to take now i lay me down to sleep i pray the lord my soul to keep if i should die before i wake i pray to god my soul to take if i should live for other days i pray the lord to guide my ways father unto thee i pray thou hast guarded me all day safe i am within thy sight safely let me sleep tonight bless my friends, the whole world bless help me to learn helpfulness keep me ever in thy sight so, to all, i say goodnight
