Abrasion CollarWhat did you expect me to say
Did you think this would end your way
Like I'd ever let you leave
Without a scar
Did you really think that I would
Convince myself that I should
Make a wish upon your dying star
Broken FingersI will play these notes with broken fingers
if that's all that's left to me.
No matter what I sacrifice,
you'll question my sincerity.
The years went by when I lost track
of the life I tried to live.
All the time we won't get back;
Homecomingyou said you're sure I'd understand
but you know god damn well
that's a burden you can't give and walk away from
I guess I'll know when he comes home
if you're alive or if you're gone
so thank you for the time I have to wait
won't you stay a little longer
Momentary Absolutionit took me almost two days to realize I had a gun in my mouth
for you girl, I break all the rules
for you I sing to myself
let it rain down from the ceiling with my brains
let it rain down
let it rain down on you
I want to be devoid of consequence
Needle Drugsshe's got a little syringe with her heart in it
she wants to shoot it in my veins
no I won't accept this gift
it comes packaged with her pain
she's got a little syringe with her drugs in it
it's connected to her brain
she thinks the world owes her a gift
because she was born insane
Open WristsI can't say, I look better to you then I did to myself
On that long road of running away
All the things in the past you don't try to grasp
You're just happy that it's a new day
And we share this in twilight, the distance, the hindsight
Quiet as if we were prey
But I knew all along, from the start of this song
You'd play this as I was walking away
SilentJennifer, I've missed you for a long time
and now it seems I always will
you understand now, we'll never meet again
not like this at least
and I don't remember what excuse I gave
but now it seems so lame, whatever it was
and my mind will hold in these rooms
The InconvenientIf we are tempted in this life
Don't act like you're surprised
It's not that I have change
So don't say you knew me when I was a better person
I never was a different man
I just let the mask lift more
Than you could stand
