Everyday I go away Like how Jason did when we were kids These smokers lungs Are full of blood My lungs Are full of blood And waiting patiently So kid? Is this it? Just twist around and bend Know your boundaries Know your place Why don’t jump right off your house No one would care enough to know Why won’t you jump right off your house No one would care enough to know I see how you trap that bird Inside that nest Inside that nest Makes sense for the limp dick Thinking I’m his friend Yeah I’m his friend You think that there’s a plan But I think that it’s worse I think we all spin round An uncaring sun That no one will ever love, These lungs full of blood

I am flesh I am blood Would I not I would break and bleed just like you Crashing still Let it fill In the room He would breathe that silence into me You look just like your father I know We’re both in the same place High tails and shitty lovers Get out Before you get too old Cheer on the winners And shit on the losers What have I Got to prove No costume Makes you feel not like who you are Ripping up Tennessee In my cut I see pain and pleasure all the same I said I’d drink the poison I have Nothing left to give Cheer on the winners And shit on the losers WHEN YOU FALL BACKWARDS YOU’LL FALL TO THE BOTTOM u look pretty u look pretty u look pretty u look pretty u look pretty u look pretty u look pretty u look....

Fool 03:32
I’m about to make the mental connection That I need to stop this I am running out of directions But only in my head yeah only in my head I grew up in a catholic school They told me I’d follow their rules But I broke em every day But only in my head yeah only in my head Yeah yeah yeah Get off your horse Yeah yeah yeah Get off your horse Yeah yeah yeah Get off your horse Yeah yeah yeah Get off your horse you’d never hurt a soul You’d never hurt But you would But you would Get shit on the slit wrist dick Your god writes checks not apologies Aw you’re fucked And it’s still your fault I am running running away Some would tell you It’s cuz I’m afraid They just say that, they don’t understand I could crush em right between these hands Yeah yeah yeah Get off your horse Yeah yeah yeah Get off your horse Yeah yeah yeah Get off your horse Yeah yeah yeah Get off your horse They hate me not They love me not not not not not not not not Inside my bones Inside my bone Jumping off of buildings for the hell of it, yeah Everything I hate I’ll take a rap at it, well my body’s a prison and I’m breaking out, Christ There is something wrong and I don’t wanna know what that is is that a gun???

Blood stains on the carpet Blood stains on my hands Drag her toward the kitchen Hide the evidence Oh the toil a lie can bring That quitters never know Lies can be the perfect things If they never show Crisis posed a question Just beneath the skin The virtue in my veins reply Quitters never win She almost ruined everything Oh the toil a lie can bring That quitters never know Lies can be the perfect things If they never show

When I die I’ll light on fire I’ll kill the sky And live as a loner For the rest of my life It will be so nice If I die it’ll be on my own terms Alright you’re floating and you’re sinking Thinking that’s all you’ll ever be Dissect every laceration Nothings all you’ll ever be You’ll see the other side of fate Dead beats in line Waiting for kind They polish their shoes Using something they lose And one day you’ll find That no one is right And you can’t trust anyone you know You’re pieces of nothing when you go Pick up all the nothing pieces You’re just points along the line You guess but you do not answer Random points along the line Pick up the phone Pick up the phone Pick up the phone Pick up the phone Pick up the phone Pick up the phone Pick up the phone Pick up the phone!!!!!!!!!!! pick up the phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess that you will never change Hit me I’ll understand Oh what a sound Kill me Not in the ground Not in the ground

Sweet teeth 03:14
On the eve you lost your horse The rain looked like it was glass We both dropped dead in the forest And carried our bodies to the past For no reason at all Felt like it was fall Oh no I know My love will go As I get old My sweet teeth will rot Somewhere deep inside the mud The smallest little holes There’s something you can’t ignore Or delete from your phone I really thought you cared But you still slit my throat I try to hide My darkest side Be what I’m not My sweet teeth will rot I’m a devil I’m a secret that you won’t ever tell! I’m the third wheel dealer at the prison cell! But I don’t wanna live in this house of cards! I’m gonna go beat up whoever’s in charge!

I know a ghost made Of scattering lightbeams Aloof of its own fraying at the seams Broken again and Broken again “When will someone put me back together again??” No It won’t change Nothing will change I’m just too old to be Playing with dolls I wish that I could shut my brain right off to stop my soul from spilling out it Yeah I’m better off without it And I fell in love with nothing Just a bag that’s used for punching And when the skin tore It would reveal more About where you go when you die Said “there’s no after!” followed by laughter Who in their right mind would really wanna live twice??? (Hjhjsghsghghgggghdghghjvvbw what the fuck!!!) Why Would you die For your sins What a waste of death to be Playing with dolls No It won’t change Nothing will change Yes I’m just to old to be Playing with dolls I wish that I could peel my face right off I guess the fear of being wanted Beats the fear of being stupid And the ladder stumbles out the kitchen Bruised and humbled slightly Yelling “pain is gonna get u in the end.”

Griffin 03:35
The way You say My name With poison on your tongue With smoke inside you’re lungs I can change for you The pay The trade You know It’s easy when you’re young To shoot a loaded gun You’re happy then you’re gone with the trash you take me out Naked fingers touching brows Not right now, Woah Tug on my shirt tail I never really thought of that before And now I’m going batshit batshit the scabs The clots The bruises It’s never coming back The love you wanted then It’s too late for you Sides Pick sides Too high Get over it right now Noses to the ground They’ll feed you to the hounds In a flash is all around Looking stupid and profound Yeah right now, woah A yeah my ashes fall right down Skipping school and skipping town You’re not around, woah Tug on my shirt tail I never really thought of that before And now I’m going batshit batshit craaaaaaazyyyy craaaaaaaazzyyyy craaaaaaazyyyy craaaaaaaazzyyyy

Rust 01:32
buddy you sniff the flowers In the yard you sniff for hours So baby, hold me closer And tell me You fucking hate me In the rain I’ll rust Make me feel like I’m a loner, goner Baby make me Sit with you and smoke Life’s a lot to take in sometimes, sunshine Over my dead Body in the ditch do you really wanna see it??

You don’t have a clue What they’ll do to you (They’ll cut you down) They have no idea What you have been through (They do not know) I don’t care I don’t mind I don’t know Fuck your god damn There’s nothing left to realize You’re cutting people with your eyes You touch your face and touch the sky But you’re without the wings to fly back No one wants to take a Chance No one wants to be the change Something stupid’s keeping me From being the one to let it hit the fan Kids get bored Kids get born Take a little more Bleed out on the floor Tooth inside a face You can break a bomb Miracles are fake Something in your place You have nothing left to idealize (You can not speak) And it sounds so bad As if something died (On edge it whines) I don’t know I don’t care I don’t mind It will all go wrong There’s nothing left to realize You’re cutting people with your eyes You touch your face and touch the sky But you’re without the wings to fly back No one wants to take a Chance No one wants to be the change Something stupid’s keeping me From being the one to let it hit the fan Oh my god! Oh my god! Kids get bored! bored! bored! I’m not torn! any! more! I SEEEE IT!! I SEEEE IT!!

Hiding, oh are you Hiding from me Hiding, why are you Hiding from me Always and forever At least that’s what you said But I never really saw you I never really did And the words just slipped our tongues Or they were clogged up with meds And they didn’t come out Until the gun was already at my head Heading down the wrong stairs We matched the wrong wrong pairs, so I’ll get the scissors and you get the rum (I get around a lot) We’ll cut the sting that ties them (Owoah owoah owoah) And we’ll use the thread for something else (I get around a lot) We’ll knit ourselves a fresh new hell ( I get around) Watch them return to their homes ( I count the bodies) I pick up the stones (And they’re higher than before) I dispose Love isn’t victimless crime But everyone commits all the time (Oh god) I’m living off of what I hear and what I see (Don’t think you’re all good) You’re not the only person getting this disease (I don’t think I’m asking too much) Heavens just a bargaining chip For your sense of what is real and what’s not But love is not a victimless crime But everyone commits all the time Hiding, oh are you Hiding from me Hiding, why are you Hiding from me
