“Empty Rooms” by Alex Manescu (2014)
And we’ll lay down on our backs
Where the walls meet and the cracks
Grow deeper in our hearts
Deeper in our hearts
And everything that you’ve ever known
Will make you ache
Will make you scream
Will make you feel so damn alone
And my father he once said
That every day the son will set
And rise again from a different point
Point of view
I swear its the last time that I
Will ever speak your name
Cause everytime I do
My heart burst right up into flames
And empty rooms echo with all the things
We’ll never say
They collapse into a tomb
And bury both of us away
They collapse into a tomb
And bury both of us away
Life keeps moving on
And on
And on

"Snowfall" by Alex Manescu (2019)
Walking through the street late last night,
all alone,
snow falling passing through the street light,
landing on my phone,
I was thinking of what to text you back,
I was thinking of the ways to make up for all the things I lack
And I don't,
want to bum you out,
But I don't,
know what I can do now
Snow falling down the back of my shirt,
sending chills down my spine,
like those words I've often heard,
that being anywhere else,
is preferable to her,
woke up sweating just last night,
like its the end of the earth,
like its the end of the earth
Sitting in the entrance of the subway,
at 3 am,
hard not to question,
where all of this began,
I've got all of my new friends,
your time was hardly that well spent
She said let go,
and leave the past behind,
like falling snow,
we build back up our lives
Snow falling down the back of my shirt,
sending chills down my spine,
like those words I've often heard,
that being anywhere else,
is preferable to her,
woke up sweating just last night,
like its the end of the earth,
like its the end of the earth

“Riptide” by Alex Manescu (2016)
And we all grow in time to know
The feelings hiding down below
Like what lies beyond the great unknown
Equal parts the reapers, and the sewn
You pull me under like a riptide
Underneath the Atlantic Ocean waves
Why do I even wonder if we’re ok?
When we’re already resting
In our watery graves
I’ll scream in silence as water fills my lungs
You weigh me down like the anchor you’ve become
Underwater, with no feeling
Treading water for no reason
Life rafts come too little, too late
There’s nothing left for us to say
You pull me under like a riptide
Underneath the Atlantic Ocean waves
Why do I even wonder if we’re ok?
When we’re already resting
In our watery graves
Lately I’ve been feeling anxious
Lately I’ve been feeling empty
No screams for help could reach us
There’s no solid ground beneath us
My skies turn black when you’re around
There’s no hope for us to be found
You’re the millstone around my neck
And we’re quickly pulling down
Quickly pulling down
Quickly pulling down

“Untitled” by Alex Manescu (2014)
Perfectly defeated now
And my words out pace the sounds
They need for me to sing them out
Because I spend all of my spare time
Thinking about the world in rhymes
Writing songs about a memory of a feeling
That I will never know
That I will never know
You don’t owe me a goddamn thing
I’ll tell you everything that you
Want to hear when you’re alone
Crying on the telephone
Allison, Allison
Do you think we have it in
Us, to forgive
The people we have been
And I said I was alright
A thousand goddamn times
But it never made a difference
And I said that you were right
A thousand goddamn times
But it never made a difference

“Glass” by Alex Manescu (2015)
Hey little sister can you see those strings
That prop up all of your new friends
The rhythm of your heart beat skips in time
And you find words lose their meaning
And in the evening hours at your desk
Find comfort in the poems of a dead man
You’ve lost your taste for fashionable friends
And you’re alone now
And ink stains the page
With all the words you couldn’t say
Any time I pick you up I could shelve you away
But we’ll speak inside my head almost every single day
And we’ll find its getting harder
And we’ll find its getting harder
And we’ll find its getting harder
And we’ll find its getting harder
To breathe with lungs made of glass
To breathe with lungs made of glass
To breathe with lungs made of glass
To breathe with lungs made of glass

Crash and Burn

Sometimes you cut your losses
Sometimes you've just really lost this
War between the id and ego
Lurking like something truly evil
The truth is that the lies
You tell your self
Won't help you sleep at night
And then you wake up tired
Keeping all this up
Just out of spite
And everybody's got something to learn
From all the times they've tried
And just crashed and burned
And everybody's got something to learn
From all the times they've tried
And just crashed and burned
They say that patience is a virtue
So I keep on waiting
For it to prove itself true
And change my expectations
I ask for nothing and I
Still get disappointed
Cause I know theres another
Mistake around the corner
Spinning out of control
On a mountain road
I say a silent prayer
That your engine fucking blows
I swear that I could kill you
But you beat me to the punch
Now I'm the only one here
As the days turn into months
And everybody's got something to learn
From all the times they've said
Just fuck it let it burn
We get so lost we don't
Recognize ourselves
Wishing on shooting stars
An escape from our own hell

“Willow” by Alex Manescu (2014)
I swear that I
Won’t forget you now
Cause regret is the kind of thing
That always leaves me wondering how
All the choices that I’ve made
Come with outcomes all the same
And all the missteps that we take
Are slowly driving me insane
With every second guess
I left my words more meaningless
And they just hung in the air
Like leaves on willow trees down where
We talked laying in the grass
I still remember the last
Thing, that I ever asked you
Do you think of me fondly?
Do you think of me often?
We lost ourselves in the silence
Your last words rang like sirens
I know, you’re not alone
But there’s a little part of me that wishes
You were
So we’d have that much in common now
And there’d be one last thing for me
To lose sleep about
