What if I 01:12
I try too hard to find an easy answer when there's work involved like when you say something bothers you, it needs to change i simply walk away cause i can't be bothered to try because what if i fail?

Haunted 03:57
decision precision it's the hardest mark of accuracy did i make the right choice or did it make me? well, i used to mind that my soul felt haunted effortlessly disaffected now i've come to find through my wiles and my ways there's no end of days, there's just apathy there's just a point where you stop trying there's decisions to make and options vying i just wanted to tell you what you wanted to hear but my tongue got too heavy from the weight of the decision where's that smile? i fought for you for so long there's no denying my decision everything screamed to me i fought for you for so long, i fought for you i fought for something i fought for something that brought me out in me but what of all of the paths i could have taken? and what of all of the destiny i've shaken off my shoulders? or there's no reverse, just reverberations from the drop in the pool i watched the ripples echo across my body of water, makes me wonder if i made a good decision, where's that smile? i fought for you for so long there's no denying my decision everything screamed to me i fought for you for so long, i fought for you, i fought for something, opened my eyes and saw i fought for you for so long there's no denying my decision everything screamed to me i fought for you for so long i fought, i fought for my decision

Another Way 03:24
i wish you could save a place for me like a checkpoint before autosave deletes my everything i knew what i wanted, but past tense is the key don't mean i won't remember all the best before the downswings i only want to make you happy but i need to be alone can't explain it to myself and that's what stings the most all the lovely things about you are doing battle in my brain with all the nights of sulking makes me feel like i'm insane i know i never got those orchids or all those other greens you wanted i never was the best at saying just what i'm feeling cause i was so tired of pissing you off and baby, why would i ever, ever want to do that to you? it don't make sense and it's what i'm trying to wrap around i know i gotta funny, funny way of showing that i care but i do you live in my heart but please use your head i only want to make you happy but i need to be alone i can't explain it to myself and that's what stings the most all the lovely things about you are doing battle in my brain with all the nights of sulking makes me feel like i'm insane

a grin that feels familiar, a sleight of hand so similar the grass is always greener i guess but does that mean anything can be the best? or is this all searching for a comfortable meaning well shit, i hope not saw all those movies in my pubic teething celebrities always looking out for director dream teasing if i could find a way that reality might please me then i could do away with the inbetween so boring it's all a fault of my own so much input it's hard to control the subjectivity of an art imitating life, permeating the whole essence of what it is to be real; be real with you. i'll never be reynolds or gosling but that doesn't mean you'll never think i'm awesome you know my name is Biiko but they keep calling me Mr. Grumbles well, maybe they think that's all i do with no real clue how i deal with troubles live a trailer and breathe all the deleted scenes everything is easier when you have that edited sheen cause no one wants to see the hero drop a deuce or do dry cleaning so take the best of the best and let me compare it with anxiety and doubt self confidence revisions maybe i will, maybe i won't coin flip decisions never say "let's work through this" and always go with "take it or leave it." what a perfect recipe for bullshit. to be fair, i sang this line at least two dozen times before i chose take seventeen as the best sample i could provide it's just my story is filled to the brim with mistakes and typos so it's not that i'm above it, just i don't know a better way to make you care
