We're so vacant
These bodies
Collapsing
So gracefully
And I love you
And I'm sorry
And I understand if you blame me
And I'm helpless
And you're drowning
And I'm beating at the water here so desperately
So desperately

I drew a line in the sand with these worthless fucking hands
I drew a line in the sand, you washed it away again

 

It’s nights like these that the drugs don't work
It's getting in the way instead of pickin me up
I wish my addictions didn't mean so much
But we all can't be born with that kind of luck

You can try but you won't fix what’s wrong with me
Every night I’m my own worst enemy
I'll find a way to quit when they bury me
Cause I can't turn down the drinks when they're free

 

Got my game down in the shore towns with the blood war trash
22 with the blue-eyed sociopath

Block out often, night trip
Think I might have hurt someone
Always, same dream
Moonlight, silver in the pine trees
I’m guilty
Maybe you can
Come and live it down with me

As we’re crossing
All the women catch my subtle reflection
Don’t think I’ll ever feel like myself again

Cause I’m a moki from the thirties
But it’s 2020
The black blizzards on the blank prairie

Casing places
Packin’ pistol that my dad left me
Topsoil, street chalk, you draw a message for the yuppies
We’re evil, baby
Sorry
I guess some people have to be
Come and live it down with me

 

I remember the way I would wait for you
To arrive with kibble and a box full of beer
How I'd scratch the empties desperate to hear
You make the sound that you found for me

After scrapping with the ferals and the tabby
Let you brush my matted fur
How I'd knead into your chest while you were sleeping
Shallow breathing made me pur

But I can't remember the sound that you found for me
I can't remember the sound that you found for me
I can't remember the sound that you found for me

 

Well, I throw away everything I've written you
Oh, anything, just keep my mind off of thinking how I had you once
Oh, I can't forget that
Sometimes, I wish I could lose you again

 

You are a room
If you want to settle down
I'll be one too
I'll dig a pool in the yard
But you'll move away
You keep a lake behind your eyes
Oh I am a room
And I am flooding in the yard

I guess I'll see you around
One day I'll see you around

 

It's a perfect day for letting go
For setting fire to bridges
Boats
And other dreary worlds you know

 

Nothing's gonna change that hopeless feeling I get when you say you understand and I know you can't

 

maybe this is a cry for help
maybe I should just forgive myself

 

Show us a long
Long, long hot summer night
As far as my eyes could see
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Well my heart was way down
Cold, cold winter stone
Well my darlin', where can you be?
Where can you be, baby?
Where can you be?

There were three sugar walls
And two candy cane windows
But the silliest move melted all those inside
Well everybody's on fire, but its
Snowin' in a cold blizzard!

 

I went down to the gas station for no particular reason
Heard the screams from the high school, it's football season
Empty lot the station faces will probably be there forever
I climbed over the four foot fence; I was trying to sever the tether
Moon in the sky, cold as a stone
Spend each night in your arms, always wake up alone

 

Curtain's at nine
Where is the playwright?
Fucked up my line

 

I've seen the best of love
The best of hate
The best reward is earned and I paid
For every single word
I've ever read

 

Mr. Serotonin Man, lend me a gram
You call yourself a friend?
I got two left feet and I'm starting to cheat
On my girlfriend again
I caught her picking her nose
As the crowd cheered for an overdose
And I don't suppose you know where this train goes
There was a party that she had to miss
Because her friend kept cutting her wrists
Hyperpoliticized sexual trysts
Oh, I think my boyfriend's a nihilist
I said, hey kids we're all just the same
What a shame

 

body aches when ya tell it to quit
this is heaven & I'd die for it

 

You close your eyes and kiss your hand then you blow it
But it isn't meant for me, and I notice
If the choice was ours alone
Then why'd we both choose letting go?
Does it end like this?

Time never had a chance to heal your heart
Just a number always counting down to a new start
If you always knew the truth
Then the world would spin around you
Are you dizzy yet?

 

my knuckles have turned to white
there's no turning back tonight
kiss me one last time

Underoath - It's Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door

 

And if I seem to be confused, I didn't mean to be with you.
And when I said I scared you, well I guess you scared me, too.
But we got lucky once before,
And I don't want to close the door.
And if you're somewhere out there passed out on the floor...
Oh, Joey, I'm not angry anymore.

 

nevermind, these are horrid times
i cant let it bother me

 

You've got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We've gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way

 

Heartbroken and bleeding
Knocked down and mistreated
Still I rise undefeated
I will not let you bring me down

Now the pain is deleted
And I will never repeat it
I will rise and defeat it
I will not let you bring me down

 

I never know who I am
I only know what I'm not
It doesn't make any sense
It doesn't further the plot
I never learned how to love
I only learned how to fight
I only see in the dark
But never get through the night
I've got a flurry of words
But I've got nothing to say
And why does everything
Always end this way?
If I asked you to let me go
Would you hold on, would you hold on?
I try hard to let go but the pull is too great
Consumed with the promise
Of one last taste
Are you holding on?
Cause I'm still holding on

 

One more wasted morning
When I could be holding you
To my side, somebody stop this joyless joy ride
I'm feeling older than my thirty-five years

One more cryptic message
Thinking that I might end it
Oh god, you must have woken up
To me saying that it's all too much
I'll take it easy with the morbid stuff

Oh and, honey, I'm worried 'bout you
You're too much to lose
You're all that I have
And honey, I'm worried 'bout you
Put yourself in my shoes
You're all that I have so please don't die
Wherever you are tonight

All these pointless benders
With reptilian strangers
Oh my god, you're so naive
You'll leave this world in a drunken heap
Who'll make the arrangements, baby, them or me?

 

keep my fingers crossed
i wanna be somewhere that i belong
nevermind how i got there

 

Did someone turn the lights out
Or is it just another dark cloud in my head?
Cause I'm cut deep, my heart won't beat
Deep down low it's killing me
If I wanna scratch out yesterday
I've got so much I need to say
