Today's forecast: overcast blankets Next the recaps on the nights regrets I wasn't mad at you, I was never mad at you This is just what I do, Its what I always do Long Island, gin and tonic On the brink of verbal vomit Trying to give you a reason why I'm good to be with but this is really the dumbest argument I've ever had I'll quit while I'm ahead and go home instead Nobody needs this My time is up, Next table Driving home, buzzed and able Nothing to see, move on from here Just dreading the view, the view from nowhere

Why does it matter if I have a bed Its not like you're gonna end up sleeping in it If only I had a dime for every time I wished I had a bed we could do it in I could afford a fucking bed But Ive got no cash, so go back Where you came from Stay with your folks Maybe they'll pay your ransom Ms. High and Mighty why I answer your call Hell if I know Just let me be your downfall Why do you insist on being a tease Why do I insist on getting down between your knees Ive been holding my breath For the chance of a chance You can hold me down I don't need to breath
4.
Hey, who says you have to go home tonight I just want to hold your hand in mine We ditched our clothes, ditched our shoes, for the warmth of porcelain I washed your body and you told me just what they had done to it And your self esteem Eyes closed, nobody knows you like I do The one wish I had made My soul, full and paid To Mephisto We were the first in a line of great mistakes We didn’t give a fuck what anyone had to say I’m your invisible boyfriend, hated by your family Imaginary girlfriend no one ever saw standing beside me Eyes closed, nobody knows you like I do Round two, we’re so blue But lying is what we do I wouldn’t take it back, but I know you would,oh god The one wish I had made My soul, full and paid To Mephisto
5.
Fell off the wagon yet again I let myself get in my head No you know we shouldn't talk about it What are the odds? This will never happen It cant be a good thing If I'm still running Fell off the wagon yet again I brought you down with me we're dead At least that's how I think it ends
6.
I still haven’t found a great distraction That can keep you off my mind I’m not sure what keeps me so attracted But it keeps me all the time Oh, why cant I spend my time on you Oh, if nothing better’s gonna come Oh, I know, I know I’m going crazy Oh, my love has now become obsession I spend all my time outside my room Trying to keep away from you But I can only do so much Before I’m losing sleep to you Oh I know its wrong I know there’s nothing here to cling to I know I should’ve moved on by now but I haven’t And yeah I can lie and say that I have until eventually its true. But that’s all I can do Lying to myself is the only thing I can do
7.
She said, “You know that you’re not alone?” After we ended the night at her home I was about to chime in the same note Better than me, I’m sure that she knows I don’t want to feel Ill take your sleeping pills You should make my decisions And Ill hope that sleeping kills I got the date, and I got the kisses And I bared my soul For your hesitant admission And I got your hands mussing up my hair But after all three, I felt nothing there
8.
Please don’t wake me while I’m dreaming take my car keys take my body Let me dream on I won’t stop breathing while I’m dreaming Love is still with me dispose of my body
9.
You were the first in line of the girls that I fell for working in the comic store drawing your own sketch pages above the minimum wage and you did it for ages you found an escape pod built your own rocket and now you’re next in line for a send off
10.
I found a good routine for all of 3 solid weeks but lost myself inside the screen I don’t need sleep anymore what was it ever good for besides keeping my sanity The homeless man ranting and lurching through traffic could be the future and the sleepless me and I’m late for work customers will ensure that I’ve lost all capability I’ve lost a good routine
11.
I am dead dead dead I’ve not slept slept slept In over 48 hours I need a shower spending all night with these self abusers and constructing plays I’m a slave to the keyboard getting ourselves off until RL returns This is what I do when I hate myself This is what I do when I can’t see my future This is what I do when it’s all too much This is what I do when I need a human touch I’ll talk to a stranger but I can only talk so much till my voice is gone and my nerves are caked with rust insomniac smut for the living dead
12.
Give me a moment would you I’m out of step Why would I want to go on? Whats ahead Take a step closer Suspense is killing me but keeps me alive Give a little more hope to the worm that’s eating my insides Take a step closer It’s almost over
13.
It was all an illusion There is nothing to fear You've been mourning a memory for more than a year There is nothing to glorify no reason not to leave it here A moment of clarity Heart is already taken I've nothing to give Letting go of what's made me attempt, I'll try to live I cant keep my attention It's not worth it
14.
There is no place for us One end of downtown, two cups we pour down This bar is testing your patience One sticky table, three uneven bar stools And if, we're being honest I'm glad that we could do this The last time we ever meet? After this ends I guess we'll see Down the rabbit hole One german cake, and three forks to dig in Up to the roof we go One kiss from this girl, four more for attention
15.
One job, for us It was a bust Drove home, alone relieved or stressed And we sat on your couch and we talked all about Life, love, and coffee and mandala coloring books The party, where I ended up was full of beer, and full of drugs there was no food so it was no good until I found this girl standing over the driveway Hungry to leave, but I think that I'll stay...
16.
No lyrics
17.
I don't want to play but I'm here anyway There's nothing to say I'll go along with the awkward foreplay There is no warmth in your affection No one notices they've got your attention You'll end up alone at least you'll be at home You'll learn to let go and be comfortably miserable
18.
I'm not ready in the slightest But I'll show up and burn my brightest Ill be dead tomorrow morning Maybe I'll wake if there's anything for me
19.
I heard your call a little too late the horses are gone And you take my breath when you step back are the feelings lost Have I taken too much of your time Have I done it too much, have I stepped out of line Have I taken too much of what was never mine Have I messed you all up, I'll leave you to decide I understand why nothing will be the same again and you, could ask for my hand and I would hold it out for you any damn day
20.
I finally found my way out of the party I slam the damn door shut on everybody As if they'd notice that I wasn't among them But just in case, hope they can handle disappointment From the porch, I would stumble on the way to my car I've got a quarter tank of gas, but I'll take it as far as I can go to find a home, just like a tumbling star and where I land is where I land, a change of clothes an guitar
21.
Rinse and repeat rinse and repeat I keep climbing up this hill but never seem to end up anywhere You should fill me in should fill me in on everything I'm missing far out on stupid forums We expand we build we destroy we will rinse and repeat
22.
We could figure this all out right now We could write if you would only just sit down We could get to work on time or we could just lay down and stay inside We could read all the texts from our friends We could read and see how Game of Thrones ends We could call a friend dance all night or we could just lay down and stay inside I have to wonder how we do it
23.
I'm writing this to you Like writing down my death warrant Someones got to put me down The rabid dog, with a bullet And I can pull the trigger If nobody will do it end my misery Cure my chronic nostalgia I know just how this story ends Not well, but at least I can pretend Tell me that I'm lonely and I always will be cause all of these Disney films have indoctrinated me They say that helping others Will get my mind off the pain if that's true then I should wait for a rich martyr to find me I just want you to be happy And I hear that you are I just wanted to reach out Cause all my friends are at large They all think I'm crazy And I guess that I am Lets see if therapy can help me To stop giving a damn Messiah complex, 26 Not even slightly altruistic I only do things to feel at all And use your body as my crucifix I'm sick but you can feel free to talk Id love to hear what you have to say Even if it kills me, please just say anything at all
24.
To understand the end We need to see the dreadful start of it We need to see where your mind parted This tragedy is hilarious If we play it in reverse A broken boy comes together After riding in a hearse Someone will take you in To assess damages Please say you'll come immediately You're attempts they worry me If there was a gold star for ramping up and backing down We'd give it to you Just don't ever do it halfway
25.
Why wont you let me Let this go This killer grapefruit Is a leech on my soul If I let this go now How long would this pain last If I glanced into the grapefruit Would you be looking back
26.
I just need to take better care of myself I just need to sleep with this weight on my chest I just need to live Until there's nothing left to give I just need to lift these arms Until I'm strong again I just...I just need...I don't really know But sooner than later, I guess Ill let you know
27.
100 days for me Until I will be free From this self imposed imprisonment A one man crew on a sinking ship Dear Lover, it’s over this starcrossed affair Dear Lover, it’s over No she does not care 100 Days until I see If I’m a better man for leaving No senses, no feelings Just a ghost to guide me We won’t start over It’s best to start anew Dear Lover, it’s over Now what am I to do?
28.
Just a bunch of kids going out for drinks Find a nerve and pinch Shake your ass a bit I’m not feeling this I can’t get a grip One in the morning Heading home half dead
29.
It’s alright If you can’t make it out of bed Just sit tight Just relax Count the stars instead I know that you have a desperate desire to do it all But if you missed out Just try it again and shake it off It’s alright If you can’t think of anything to say Save your breath for simple words Who needs one liners anyway
30.
Pawn me off Maybe make a couple bucks While clearing out the attic space You'll never have to see my face again I never want to let you down I'll be waiting when you come back around And you will, you will, right? Surely I am worth more than you sold me for? I know I've got a lot of charming quirks I know that keeping me here hurts I never want to let you down I'll be waiting when you come back around And you will, you will, right? You will, right?
31.
Every day I struggle Take my brain It's trouble Brings me down I'm always in pain Every day is miserable thinking about [redacted]

Volume 9 of my 365/Song a day Challenge which will end on December 5th 2015.

These songs are notes to myself and people who have long since left my life but still make a difference in it.

I don't expect anything to come of it. I don't expect anyone to like it. I'm just hoping to feel better once it's all over...
