The dagger snapped off in my back
It's all I can do to react
The open road
A dead end street
It's all the same to me
You know what textbooks say about a cornered animal
Frightened and potentially diseased
It's dangerous
To approach and coax out of it's foxhole
Frothing and lashing out blindly
Unhinged
Unglued
Confused
The wind blowing on my last match
A shot of justice down the hatch
The saber-tooth reality
A young libertine's shattered dreams
You know what textbooks say about a cornered animal
Frightened and potentially diseased
It's dangerous
To approach and coax out of it's foxhole
Frothing and lashing out blindly
Unhinged
Unglued
Confused

Shit Shape Heart
03:07

I've broken down and I cannot seem to get it started again
I'd trade all the teeth in my head for some adrenaline
I've been distraught with loaded thoughts about where this path might end
If my shit shape heart can not keep beating
If my shit shape heart can not keep beating
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go

These brittle bones can barely hold my own
Weight/Wait up for me
Wait/Weight around
Looking down at my old shoes
At the holes the rainwater pours through
I'll do what it takes
To get me back to you
Your eyes are breaking
Your eyes are breaking me
This Welcome Mat is a fucking landmine
And it's cold outside
And trash is getting in my eyes
Oh la-di-da-da
La-di-da-da
I am
Lost
In search of peace of
Mind I lost a
Little piece of my
Mind
This city life feels so contrived
Like a flower forced to bloom
And the air in this bag
It tastes so fucking bad
And it's suffocating
Me and you

I'm on a roll
Got shit under control
I'm sweating bullets and I'm
Lying through my teeth
And what you see
Is no concern to me
I know I'll never be
Shit compared to you
But it's not for lack of trying
And I know that I've been here before
What else can I say
But
Right
Now
I'm
Stuck
In a rut
Stuff asphalt in the cut
A litmus test for the
Strength of my Resolve
If I come back
Walking panic attack
It's not how you bounce back
It's how well you fall
And I'm sick and tired of trying
And I know that I'll be back again
The meaning of life is dying
Some wise old words I've heard before
Fuck It All To Shit
I don't care anymore
I'm Too High To Cry Too Rare To Care
I
Give
Up

Standby

I took the last ride in
On a standby flight to Charleston
And you left me waiting there
While you spent the weekend in Bel Air
I hope you had a good time there
While I was alone and wondering where you were
You're the taste of six week old rotten milk
That I should have thrown away with the pills
I took every night
You were gone
I can't believe you lied
To Me
I took a late ride in
On a red eye flight to Manhattan
And you left me waiting there
While you spent the weekend in Bel Air
I hope you had a good time there
While I was alone and wondering where you were
You're the taste of six week old rotten milk
That I should have thrown away with the pills
I took every night
You were gone
I can't believe you lied
To Me
And who would've thought
In your week away
That you would've got
A brand new friend
And a brand new place to stay

Take It Back
03:39

Take it back
You know I'm the one you want
You can
Pretend to leave
Give it back
Because I deserve as much
As you
Dish out at me
And you showed it to me
The way I needed to see
I taste it on the words screamed at the top of your lungs
I waste it on the words screamed at the top of my lungs
Give in to the feeling
That opiates and never lets you down
True star-crossed love
Latch on to believing
The ladder rungs that rung your bells for so
Goddamn long
And you showed it to me
The way I needed to see
I tasted all the words screamed at the top of your lungs
I wasted all the words screamed at the top of my lungs
Way down inside
Bury the lies
And the nights you can't recall
Lay down and die
Stop taking my hand
Taking a chance
Wasting your breath
On Me

I don't want to drown
My legs have let me down
There's a crack, in my back
And it's working it's way down
To my feet, where defeat
Is polishing it's crown
And I hate myself for
Making myself bleed
The fear tide rolls in
And it's soaking up my sheets
Worthless desires open up their doors to me
What have I done now?
I can't read my set list
I can't eat my breakfast
I'm fucking dependent/defenseless
I cannot exist like
This
My problems can't be solved
My sins won't be absolved
I watched it all dissolve
On the night I took the fall
My problems can't be solved
This never will resolve
So kill, pollute, and mass-produce
And plant the seed for the next generation
And I hate myself for
Making myself bleed
The fear tide rolls in
And it's soaking up my sheets
Worthless desires open up their doors to me
What have I done now?

Follicles
03:33

Lying on a bed of broken sticks and stones
The morning snow is all I have to convince my flesh it still has bones
The sun rises, but I cannot
I'm thinking things my father thought
About all the bets he lost
So many wasted nights
Fighting fights
I'm fighting the fights my mother lost
And I don't want to get back up again
I don't want to get back up again
These things were shaking me
And now they're shaking you
If we could only breathe
Maybe we could shake them too
My brother's cancers continue to grow
Like answers to questions I'll never know
My brother's cancers continue to grow
Like answers to questions I'll never know
And I don't want to get back up again
I don't want to get back up again

I Wanna Die Young
02:31
|

My Destiny
Revealed itself to me
I'm getting shitty and I'm running out of time
Alone
At Sea
Fishing for sympathy
Waiting with bated breath but nothing's on the line
I Wanna Die Young
Mommy
Always
Called me
Ugly
Daddy
Dropped me
From three stories on
My Head
I Wanna Die Young

Velvet Arms

Call false alarm
You kissed my mouth and screamed
Abuse to the river
Our Velvet Arms
They Locked, They Loved
What tragic lives we've had
What tragic lives we've led
You kissed my mouth and screamed
Abuse to the river
We were born
In the Sunshine
We grew up baking in the ultraviolet radiation
Of a slowly dying Star
This sneaky Rum is sneaking up on me
Like a lightning storm in a field of
Wild Horses
We are
Not as lost
As they think we are
