I Keep To Myself

Driving through empty streets at night
Music cranked, follow the taillights
Back when I could make it up to you
Forty dollars, I say "that'll do"
(Now you know why)
I keep to myself
Keep it to yourself
I will screw up everything
To see my way home
Overthinking every card I'm dealt
Just because I never ask for help
Doesn't mean that I don't want you here
All I need is time to settle down
(Now you know why)
I keep to myself
Keep it to yourself
I will screw up everything
To see my way home

She stays in my mind
Wish I could turn back time
The places I could be
The people I would see
Lies from my head
Written in a song
Young today
Not for very long
Dream about the past
The kind I never had
The places I could be
The people I would see
Lies from my head
Written in a song
Young today
Not for very long

Maybe if we started
We'd feel better
Sitting on the corner
Here to stay
Every waking hour
Things keep moving
Maybe they don't want
To stay
And I know you'll be upset
I don't wanna waste my life
Same four chords stuck in my head
I repeat them all the time
I know I'm a goner
Slouching over
Staring out my window
Count the days
Think of something special
So specific
Maybe I don't want
To say
And I know you'll be upset
I don't wanna waste my life
Same four chords stuck in my head
I repeat them all the time

Empty Space

Lost myself
I don't care
But somethings wrong
With my world
In a way
I love the change
But I know
That I'm not
What people say
That I am
Out of place
An empty space
I never want to see myself that way (Empty space)
I never want to see myself that way (Empty space)
A parking lot withering away (Empty space)
More cracks in the pavement everyday (Empty space)
Feel the beat
Overdrive
It feels so nice
Getting high
All the time
Don't know the price
But I know
That I'm not
What people say
That I am
Just a case
Of empty space
I never want to see myself that way (Empty space)
I never want to see myself that way (Empty space)
A parking lot withering away (Empty space)
More cracks in the pavement everyday (Empty space)
Empty space

You run away just to get by
I'm feeling sick again you make me loose control
I know that one way we will die
The smoke inside my head leads me to fantasize
I can't take it anymore
My lips are sealed my mouth is sore
I've thought about the things you do
And not a single thing makes me feel different now
I wanna dress up just like you
I lay around at home feels like I'm someone else
I can't take it anymore
My lips are sealed my mouth is sore
You won't wanna be around
When I fall

Can't feel the curb
Beneath my feet
When I'm with her
I'm loosing sleep
I stay inside
And feel so weak
God knows I try
But just get beat
Morning comes just in time
Back on the street
I hit the floor
And scrape my knee
I didn't cry
Just grit my teeth
But is it right
For me to say
I can't complain
I've lost my way
Morning comes just in time
Back on the street
