- A Bitter Divorce
Well I loved you more when you were sad
I loved you more when you were sad
I gave you all that I had
You just don't love me anymore
I gave you all that I had
When did our love start to fade?
When did you just become just a roommate that I hate?
- Adultery
I don't like the taste of your insides
They fall through your nose and your feet
I can't stand the weight of your heart
and it's consistent beats
I drink more milk than she does
My best friend is my dog
Relapse, relapse, relapse, relapse
- Annina, We Will Miss You
Now I see her writing on her skin with a ball point pen
She says "I'm dead, but goddamn I will rise again"
And she ate a hand full of pills
and washed them down with some Pepsi
Is it my time to be happy?
Is it my time to be happy?
And when she sleeps
- Beer Can
You were the filter in the wall through the air I was breathing in
Open the depths of your heart to keep me warm when I was freezing then
I was sleeping in and wake up and find you again
Like something I was dreaming of
I couldn't shake the feeling of
since I've been awake
And those nights I was drinking alone,
- Brother
My brother made sure I didn't die
It could have happened 100 times
And we both escaped that place
We're only known for past mistakes
Well I'll sit back and dream about sleep again
Well I'll sit back and dream about sleep again
- Here's To Forever
Those comforting words you whispered though a troubling sleep
I carry with all the scars I keep
As a warning of what can happen to anyone
Who forgets where their place is like me
As I watch my friends disappear I said
I drove them away, I set myself as king again
of the greatest uncured that this world has ever seen
- Lake
She puts on her moms old jewelry
And catches a glimpse of herself and laughs historically
She's got her mother's eyes and her father's grin
She shares her sister's love for prescription medicine
She loves to sin
There's no lake to clean me
No friends, I'm so lonely
- More Tequila, Less Joe
Well I'm staring at a blank page
And I don't like writing anymore
The self appointed martyr, he will die
before he knows what he's even dying for
Well I'm drinking from my father's flask
And there's something burning on my lips
This shit tastes just like medicine
- Shoddy Workmanship
My face is red from standing with it crushed against a glass wall I made myself
And the fingerprints are all that's left of the hands
That were reaching in to wrap around my neck again
Now the only memories I have of you waiting to save the ones you love,
To break your friend, save your face
Can you hear me breathe? Can you hear me breathe?
Sunday: I know you're sleeping, I know I said I wouldn't drink
- Swing Your Kami Sword
Casting illusions of self esteem covered in by cancer-ridden walls. Tighten your grip until your fingers break, the deep breath before the fall. Call out the words etched on our graves, but ignore the writing on your wall. I want you to watch me watch you fall, and I think you want the same thing too.
If you want honesty, they'll take me from my home in the middle of the night, while my children watch in fear, as I'm begging for my life. Out here the gravity is nothing, the price of living on your own, I'll watch you burn down a factory, while I burn out my home alone.
Well in my dreams I start laughing at the fact that you've forgetten me.
If you want honesty this is all you'll get from me. If you want tragedy this is all you'll get from me, this is it.
Actions tell the story from beginning to end, your vision blurs and the lines they cross. Is it laziness or writer's block? Patience and procastination don't seem the same until you're on a deadline counting out your failures in the eyes of the ones you trust.
They'll cut you down.
They'll chew you up.
They'll spit you out.
- The Future Is Cancelled
Someday I'll find a way to say
"Maybe it's the way you hold your head"
It's the look that's on my face
It's not the lack of a better word
That if it's we both would say
We're just acquaintances
That's how we'll stay
