I'm an organ donor
Of the highest degree
I donate these feelings
For anyone to keep
My heart will be dead soon
I'm giving it to you
If you can get it to beat once more
Well then good for you
But I doubt it will beat enough for two
My brain is nearing its last thoughts
My consciousness is worried
But my broken mind
Has accepted to dream
My body to sleep
No more worrying for me
One by one
My organs go
To someone else
To a better place
For something much greater than I
Hope to see them when I die
When my insides are examined
They will notice
They're used to being nervous
All the bats left inside my aching stomach
From the day I met you
I've always been afraid of butterflies
One by one
My organs go
To someone else
To a better place
For something much greater than I
Hope to see them when I die
For anyone to keep
I doubt it will beat enough for two
No more worrying for me
I've always been afraid of butterflies
But I hope to see them when I die

Dandelion
I couldn't close this heart
Even if I wanted to
So walk right in
Be the worst friend
I could ever ask for
At least then
I have something
I can write these shitty songs about
You were the last thing
I ever I let inside
And look how that's working out for me
I know it's not really cool to regret
But I think I just might regret you now
You took advantage of
My compulsive need
To help the world in front of me
You waltzed right in like a dandelion in a field of grass
Sucking happiness wherever you went
And I know
it's not friendly to start pulling teeth
But I'm getting ready to pluck the head from the stem
Making wishes at your demise
You were the last thing
I ever I let inside
And look how that's working out for me
I know it's not really cool to regret
But I think I just might regret you now
You were the worst friend
You were the best friend
A kid could ever ask for
You were the best friend
You were the worst friend
A kid could ever ask for
You were the last thing,
I ever let inside.
Even if I wanted to
So walk right in
Be the worst friend
I could ever ask for
At least then
I have something
I can write these shitty songs about
You were the last thing
I ever I let inside
And look how that's working out for me
I know it's not really cool to regret
But I think I just might regret you now
You took advantage of
My compulsive need
To help the world in front of me
You waltzed right in like a dandelion in a field of grass
Sucking happiness wherever you went
And I know
it's not friendly to start pulling teeth
But I'm getting ready to pluck the head from the stem
Making wishes at your demise
You were the last thing
I ever I let inside
And look how that's working out for me
I know it's not really cool to regret
But I think I just might regret you now
You were the worst friend
You were the best friend
A kid could ever ask for
You were the best friend
You were the worst friend
A kid could ever ask for
You were the last thing,
I ever let inside.

The Hare Peacefully Drowns in the Ocean
http://soundcloud.com/kevin-kelley/the-hare-peacefully-drowns-in
I am a sea of regrets
Waving back and forth
Like a dream I can't forget
Why did I let myself succumb
To a feeling like this
Life is miserable when spent alone
But It's worse when you remember what it's like to be loved
I'm thinking of destroying everything good
That waltzes back and forth in my reality
Just to avoid it all crashing down when I'm teased with being happy
I remember the look in her eyes as she looked for reassurance on how I felt
I so desperately wanted to comfort her as she turned away in her car
But I knew I couldn't do it and i accepted I wasn't enough
There was nothing in my heart ready for something so important as her happiness
I turned back and ran to corners of my mind
I played a song on repeat
One to get me through the night
I knew I couldn't slit my wrists
If I wanted her to think I was okay
With the way that the situation panned out
I wouldn't want her to feel bad anyway
I know I can't let people feel bad for my mistakes.
I lost track of how I felt
In between falling in love
I never knew
If I wanted this
The scars on my wrist
like faded memories
Reminding me
Of how to escape
The melody of my heart began to fade
Despite any attempt I've ever made
I began to wonder if this is it
Like the flame in my house was i forgot was lit
I burned myself down
In my ocean of regret I started to drown.
It was the most at peace I've ever been
The melody of my heart began to fade
Despite any attempt I've ever made
I began to wonder if this is it
Like the flame I forgot in my house was lit
I burned myself down
In my ocean of regret I started to drown.
It was the most at peace I've ever been
Until I saw her face again
I am a sea of regrets
Waving back and forth
Like a dream I can't forget
Why did I let myself succumb
To a feeling like this
Life is miserable when spent alone
But It's worse when you remember what it's like to be loved
I'm thinking of destroying everything good

Blue Bird
http://soundcloud.com/kevin-kelley/blue-bird
There is a blue jay outside my window
I think this is the happiest I have been in months
I am starting to let go
of thinking thoughts
I'm starting to attempt to grow up
I am beginning
to conquer my anxieties
And if you knew me
You would know that this is a big deal
And the freedom of this bluest bird
Is making me realize
I want to spread my wings
I want to fly away
But you can come if you want too
My blue bird
there is a bluejay outside my window
I think this is the happiest I have been in months
I am starting to attempt to grow up
And the freedom of this bluest bird
Is making me realize
I want to spread my wings
I want to fly away
there's a bluejay outside my window
I think this is the happiest I have been in months
There is a blue jay outside my window
I think this is the happiest I have been in months

You would know that this is a big deal
And the freedom of this bluest bird

I want to spread my wings
I want to fly away
But you can come if you want too
My blue bird
there is a bluejay outside my window
I think this is the happiest I have been in months
I am starting to attempt to grow up
And the freedom of this bluest bird
Is making me realize
I want to spread my wings
I want to fly away
there's a bluejay outside my window
I think this is the happiest I have been in months
