I crashed my car and I dont even have, collision I blame the snow and the drivers preemptive decision So all I got to my name is a vinyl of Pet Sounds And the owl asked me if he could repeat another round OF EVERYTHING HE TOLD ME I dont care much, if im frozen solid (cause I) Hate this January so damn, much I broke my last crutch, I feel squalid (cause I) Feel this January, comin, killing me. Kick me out of your car in this strange town in Delco I feel unwelcome and I’d rather walk the rest home Don’t worry about me I’ll find my way back to Coatesville Maybe I’ll be struck down by a truck and I’m killed, I REALLY DON’T CARE NOW Years resolution, got no solution (cause I) Feel this January killing me I broke my last crutch, I feel squalid (cause I) Feel this January coming, fucking killing me

I see her, every night Yet I can’t, hold her tight She’s not real, she’s on TV Have I lost, reality? I might just be alone Or have time on my hands I wanna take you home Instead of seeing you in my dream Daria, please understand These things I, can’t comprehend Subconscious, stop scaring me It’s getting, so out of hand You say that she will leave But you don’t know her like that Daria, can’t you see? You’re just a figment in my dream

Work all day to See if I will still have time To see you in the dead of night Drive nowhere fast Kisses at every red light With only ourselves on our minds Take me to a place, That means so much to you I wanna feel it too We’re young and we’re free Yet even when that ends, you’ll always be a friend Day by day and The more I wake up next to you There’s more that I feel I can do Watch the stars shine But little do you really know, Your eyes shine brighter than they glow The only thing I ask Is to believe in me and everything I mean I’ll hold onto you tight Even if you’d let me fall into my doom When did we disconnect When did those stars just misalign Everything we’ve worked for is crashing down Please don’t give up on me I’ll go through hell to make this work Just please don’t make me, erase you from my mind (When that start split in two), what does that truly mean to you Take me to that place That meant so much to us, I wanna feel again We’ve gone our separate ways But you will always find inside of me, a friend

Act I: Panic! at the house show is it in my brain are these walls melting am i going mad or am i just insane jumping from my skin thrashing in my bones focus going thin surrounded yet alone Act II: circumstantial existential nightmare look around this house of mirrors, all i see are bleak distorted images of helplessness plead for help yet who do i turn to in such a way where everyone in this house looks the same how could i let the only thing im great at eat me up? yet this is all i love sorry mama, i guess i'm not the man you'd like me to be i'm afraid i'll never be Act III: f u c k save me, take me to that place again who am i what am i what is this, in my head is this me, is this me? Act IV: Panic! at the reprise now i'm back again in my panic state when will i collapse and faint the night away

*Stagnate me, my worthless time Work so hard, so behind As life progresses for my peers I’m drowning in my deepest fears We can’t find our, we can’t find our way Waste our youths a, waste our youths away Away We fought the dragon, we didn’t win He just got the best of us Today *Waste time chasing fantasy In hopes that success will find me The time spent chasing silly dreams Would make my worth well redeemed +As we grow old, we realize That our dreams are merely useless wastes of mind I must confess, i now digress They were right when they said I’d fail *- sung by Misha Datskovsky +- sung by BenKyle Mankin

Cape Coral 03:26
I know you’ve grown past the changing of mind The end of a time, we all most outlast I now must admit, a place I’d call home Will be someone else's, and I’ll be alone And I know that the worst of me is driving you away How I wish that the best of me could help you stay The memories we make The photos we keep Will burn in my heart Though this fire’s less deep I wish it’s a good thing To motivate me more But it don’t mean so much Without your support And I wish that the best of me could help you stay But I know though that the worst of me is pushing you away You thawed out my cold soul Made dreams into life Stargazed in summer Made a badyear so great I wish it’d never end, But now that you’re gone I’ll walk down this path Without you by my side
