I fought the spirit with a sword in my side
Cheat, what a way out, crack my rib, wait to die
I think I know you the best when I sleep
I think I know everything

Me and my brothers, we have tongues sharp as knives
I found a way out, make a noise, close your eyes
I think I talk to you best when I sing
I sing about almost everything

 

No one needs to know,
I’m letting this world go
It hurts to think what could be,
No one needs to know but me

 

We dream of ways to break these iron bars

 

And now my lover is screaming
“Jason, can you love me the way you never even acted like you did?”
The problem I’m seeing with being so damn empty
Is the irony when you’re completely full of shit

When your mouth keeps running to a dangerous place
Can you really call it lost if you don’t want to be saved?
When it rains, it’s pouring on me

 

In the light of the day, stabilize and reset
and then burn in the image until I can't forget
and end ceaselessly speaking until Nothing is unsaid.
I don't know what I want what I want is where I've been.
In the night will rest you head into my hands
will you disrupt this pattern from starting again?
If I ask you for Nothing will Nothing there stand?
I don't know what I want what I wants where I've been.

 

Same, actually

 

You smashed the glass into pieces
And that's around the time I left
And you were coming across as clever
Then you lit the wrong end of your cigarette

You said I'm full of diseases
Your eyes were full of regret
And then you took a picture of your salad
And put it on the Internet

 

went further in when I couldn’t get out
I spent my money and you
stole my money and my weed
and then you said it was from you
oh that’s just so cute

but I won’t pay for you to lose your mind again
no I won’t pay for your mushrooms
hell, it feels like a robbery
when “no” doesn’t mean a thing to you

 

Tricked into some fodder about this oasis
This conversation of new beginning
Having enlightening talks over common interests

Chained together to push onto the celebrated platform
Chained together, chained forever
Chained together to push onto the celebrated platform tonight

I've boarded myself inside
I've refused to exit
There is no ocean for me
There is no glamour
Only the mirage of water ascending from the asphalt
I gaze at it from the oven of my home

Confined to a house that never remains clean
To a bed where the ill never get well
I cough ceaselessly into the night

The remainder of my humanity is drifting spit through the cold
Sitting quietly in scorching reimagined suburbia

 

I shouldn't laugh but I know I'm a failure in your eyes. I know it's daft but I guess that I know it deep inside. It feels like we're ready to crack these days, you and I. When it's just the two of us, only the two of us, I could die.

 

I try but I'm not convincing
Your lips they pout and twist and
I die trying just to keep myself from kissing you

You take in everything with
A certainty I envy
It's somehow all I need
Just keep me guessing please

 

If we spin without compass in circles
Will we fall in the same exact place?

 

I broke my ribs in a steady stream
To show you what you mean to me
I wrote words to songs you'll never read
Just to feel alive subconsciously

I drop my keys off on the desk
These walls know all the things we've said
Everyone knows life's deathless
But why can't it feel more like this

 

Our sight is gone
What we see is what we hear
And what we feel we'll believe
We're all fucked so fuck it all
There's nothing we can do
We're all going down on this ship
We'll never make it home
Nothing ever changes
Because everything was ment to fail
And we're feeling it again......So scream.

 

Got a face full
Of ominous weather
Smirking smile
Of a high pressure ridge
Got more faults than
The state of California
And the heart is a badly built bridge
Seems the most I
Have to offer
Doesn't offer much
Make it something
Somebody could use
Make this
Something somebody
Could use

 

Well I don't like the shape of my body
And I don't like the sound of your name
If or when we put the two together
I'm only hoping all of that might change

 

and you're the only thing that's going on in my mind
taking over my life a second time
i dont have the capacity for fucking
you're meant to be helping me
when i said i liked it better without my money i lied
it took a little while to recognize that i
im not giving it up again

 

one more for today cuz its hitting me hard as always


oh stop being an asshole
and counting my eye holes
they're like piss holes in the snow
uh oh
keeping a tab on my health
man you're putting me up on a shelf
well i'll believe you're clean but only by seeing your face for myself

and then she pointed at the bag of her dreams
in a well posh magazine
i said im done babe im out of the scene
but i was picking up from bethnal green
she said i've been romanticizing heroin
and oh how id love to go to paris again

 

i turned my back on the rope tied to my ceiling
theres a reason i wont go there anymore

 

And sometimes that music drifts through my car
On a spring night when anything is possible
And I close my eyes and I nod my head
And I wonder how you been and I count to a hundred and ten
Because you’ll always be my hero, even if I never see you again

 

Don't waste your time on me
I'm just an architect
I have built nothing
Please take my arms in assistance if I offer them
I can solve that sting
Your life held in low regard beneath low ceilings
They are designed by fate
Tonight we can tear the roof from this existence
I'll tear it all away

You told all of your friends
You told all of your friends
You told all of your friends
And no one came

 

all of your friends are gone
and you were barely holding on
we were wrong and
they fooled us once again
we are the loneliest of men

 

Records on, the speakers blown
Fill the air with what we know
Climb a ladder up and hang a hopeful sign
Never lonely, never lost
Never scared to jump across
Revolutions come and go but we survive

 

For the first time in my life
I've been having dreams that I remember
And finding subtle differences
To make these days go faster
Keeping you at arms length
Isn't nearly far enough
It's too late to burn your bridges
Or hide in your new year
It can be cold and calculating
To an extent that I can't believe
Where should I go where I can be more than an excuse?
Where can I go that wouldn't take me back to you?

 

i was doing fine without ya
til i saw your face, now i cant erase
giving in to all his bullshit
is this what you want, is this who you are?

i was doing fine without ya
til i saw your eyes turn away from mine
oh sweet darling, where he wants ya
said come on superman, say your stupid line
