I need my medicine. I left again. I never want to come back to this. I never quite learned how to live with being human. I've tried and tried, but I can't look anyone in the eye. I can't take these long goodbyes anymore.
I need to leave this place and try to save myself from my latest disgrace. I have never felt so far away, and I don't want to die like this. I'm sick of hiding from my friends, but they're always pushing me closer to the edge. I'm not well.

I've been trying to sleep for years. It's been hard these last couple months. I watch all your Snapchat stories, but they're usually pretty boring. Sometimes boring gets to be too much. When I was six years old I had a crush. I miss my blue bike I rode back then. I miss my cat Cola and I miss falling in love.
Life wasn't supposed to turn out this way, but it's over now. Could you tell me anything at all if you wanted to?
I miss my cat Cola and I miss falling in love. I miss my grandfather and I miss something above me. I'm putting on my funeral shoes.

Another lonely rainy weekend in the attic of the monster house. Mommy left me home all by myself. I'm running out.
It's been a long time coming. It looked like a long way down. I'm running out.
Another sad confusing morning. I wish I hadn't made it home alive. I think about the look of worry on the faces of the fairies in the headlights. I'm running out.
I'll take another and pretend I'm strong. I've been in this place for far too long. I wonder if I'll finally know what's wrong when I'm a puddle on the sidewalk.

I found God in an egg on a plate on a table in a Dennys on the east side. I was scared I'd find the devil in my car when I left your house that night.
Hey cotton candy skies, city lights. I'm just killing time. I wanna know what kind of things keep you up at night, and I know I say this sort of thing all the time, but please just let me know when you're home and safe and you're alright.
I wanna see the things that you see. Now I'm looking at blurry photos of computer screens. I can't read the text, but I still love just staring at it. You know lately I've been writing in pencil, but only because I can't find my pen.
When I do I will write you a letter in which I perfectly describe the feeling of sunshine on my skin while I'm walking through the snow.
Hey something, something, sleepless nights. I'm staying up all sad and wide eyed. Why'd you ever let me feel so alive? Oh cotton candy skies, city lights. I'm just killing time. I'm standing silhouetted by a skyline that's pouring out of you.
