Optimism 02:30
I saw your new picture you look like a badass showing appreciation for rainbows and smoking grass Now I know your real hair color you always dyed for me and though you may have lied I never took it personally I saw your new blog post about how you can't imagine a crush anyone could have on you no one cares for you that much I'm sorry I keep on talking but I just don't have the strength for all the little things you do to keep me at arm's length I'm up and getting going which just never happens I feel no signs of slowing and I'm ready to take action I can't contain myself and I can't contain my words I'm ready to get out of here more than anything in the world So I'll be up and getting going while she stays there and sleeps I'll be a goddamn superhero and drive up to her street No reason to keep on lagging I can be who she needs but I can't be her everything like she has been to me Hey it started today and I won't let it go Look at me can you believe that I won't let this go

Stage Fright 03:09
Piano exams in community college the most nervous I've felt in my life a rude, overzealous organist cutting out my heart with a knife This just isn't right it's just not worth so much of my fright Torrid, I play through my toccata his expression is fixed mid-scoff I fear he'll soon stop me from playing to say, "The piece lacks direction and the phrasing is off."

Slighted 03:20
And even though you say you hate that place I still won't be seeing you for a year and even though you said you missed me all the time I can't help but think you forgot when you saw my face again And even though you don't see it the same way you don't think you're leaving anything behind and even though you don't mean to make me feel unwanted the truth is that I most certainly am Maybe that's ok with me I can just pretend

All things on fire jamming in my room I'm not alone I'm just here with the muses and this is what they're all singing to me Starving myself for no real reason I don't feel pain I'm distracted by my muses and this is what they're all singing to me All the hardware I ruined to make this song all I can do is keep soldering on All the friends I have both old and new are what help me keep tumbling through

Wake Awake 03:26
You're the only thing that distracts me from picking up a guitar Sometimes though it can be difficult to see the world from where you are Certainly the reverse is true We're all dealt different cards in life But it's really hard to change this within me when it's already happened twice Concerns are like a house that reaks At first you notice then you lose track I wonder if we should go outside but I don't think you care about that My energy reserves are low I can't tumble with you all the time How I can I complain when I'm so loved but it seems we're more on your time than mine Legs feel like jelly, I might keel over and worst of all my mouth is dry I want to bring everything back into focus but I'm worried than you'll wonder why How can I stop you from always thinking, thinking that I pray for rain when I know you've already made up your mind tapping my emotional drain I'm not ready to face this future I'm not ready to be locked in it I'll put myself in the places where I think that I will fit I'm not made to talk so crudely and use all these obscene nouns I can't handle sex and drugs but I'll kiss you with pop rocks in our mouths

Glowing Girl 03:16
How have you fascinated me for more than eight weeks? You strike me as thoughtful and honest though I've barely heard you speak It seems like I'll fall for any girl with a cute nickname and bangs but when we finally start to talk something slips away If they all have eyes then why can they not see that there's a glowing girl sitting three feet away from me but my conversation never hits home and I got back to my room alone Is she running out the door to get away from me?

Summer 03:19
As I walk back to my room I silently loathe the guys playing basketball outside who never go As I wake up in the morning I passionately hate the family downstairs blasting Bieber all night and day I'm being overworked in the worst way and the fast-food employee never listens anyway One day I'll have done something great to no big surprise so all those pretentious indie fucks better recognize All I need is summer going right
