"Violins"

"Violins"


I am just another fool
and I have to keep telling myself that
I am just a hypocrite
and I have to keep calling you one
and/'cause I forgot to bite my tongue
as/and my assumption is the mother of all mistakes
so/but I assume the role,
open my mouth, and clumsy words escape:
So why you, wanna be there?
when you could be here
you are slipping away

I awake with/to your replacement
a bottle in my grasp
in an unfamiliar place
'cause you put me out
the butt of your sick joke
into this ashtray life
as you come and go
'cause I forgot to service you
and we broke down
and you can't live with my mistakes
so/but I assume false grace
open my arms
and grasp at/for something true
how are ya, how have you been
girl I miss you
wanna see you again
oh why ya, wanna be there?
when you could be here
girl I'm slipping away

I bring out the worst in you
and you try to let me know
you bring out the worst in me
anxiety, anxiety
I'm trying to let you go
you say I'm giving you the creeps
so/but I assume the role, open my Claws
and grasp for your heart
How are ya, how have you been
girl I miss you, wanna see you again
into you, like a mortal stake
so vindictive, girl I'm slipping away
(Violins)...Into this ashtray life
(Violins)...the butt of your sick joke
(Violins)...I'm trying hard to let you go

"Virus"

"Virus"


We colonize a better place
Unable to transform our fate
We follow whatever path grows
Directions no one knows
Given the choice for normalcy,
you seem content in who you've come to be

They said he re-installed his plague
Said to have re-vamped that limp vein
As if it all ends formulaic
Painless escape
We share the same virus of love and hope
And it's a fleeting beauty

You did everything you could
You were there for him through bad and good
Disappear before you follow suit
The parasites, they are still there to swallow you

Beating through an obtrude chest
Every emotive plea a stretch
No praise enough to build a life
No words to instill pride
And through your life disorder rides

I did everything I could
Mostly there for him through bad and good
I disappeared as always waiting for the born-again call
The one that signals to us all
This bender's over again

Listen for one last faint heartbeat
Holding his hand in hopes he breathes
All of those sad years have come to this
Your head lay on his sunken chest
The thought of you at his deathbed
The latest virus in my head
Unjust, unjust

Selfless you tended to our ghost
Katherine an unconditional untiring host
You were there for him when he needed you the most
I hope someone restores your heart
I hope something restores your world

"Want"

"Want"
(originally by Jawbreaker)



Been staring for a hundred hours run down
A spiral drain keep mouth clamped tight,
And it isn't right three words keep running through my mind
But my tongue is hard to find I need to let it go,
Because I know dark secrets burn their vessel
Tearing out to grab a mouthful chunk of heart
Destroyed by quiet yell it out before it kills you now
Let it all out used to let rumors do my work
They got around real well now they only hurt
It's a liar's quirk this time I gotta say it straight
I mean to do some good I'm calling out your name,
While the chance remains I want you
So now you know where I come from my secret's
Come undone my heart revealed my
Cause I'm lying naked at your feet
Don't crush the heart that bleeds take me at my word
It may sound absurd but I want you

"Weak"

"Weak"


Come to know them and what makes them burn
Take out your aggressions and alleviate the hurt
Fueled by some loss we'll never know
I sit down now, cause I'm not playing with you

Abusing, amusing, your peers and all your demons
In passive, aggression, accusing all else but you
Hurt the ones, you've grown to love
You feed on them embitterment refills your empty soul
Release it into them your sharp words, alcohol enhanced
Fueled by guilt your checkered past, you had the last word
Laugh at me as I sit this one out, and they're dancing around me, afraid

Come to know them and what makes them burn
Take out your aggressions and alleviate the hurt
Fueled by some loss we'll never know

You give me strength to call it, weak

"Western Settlements"

"Western Settlements"


A hell of a thing
Hanging a man
Taking everything he has
And all he'll ever have
Small irony
That man surely created me

Held by his reins
Till his last breath
These tiny spells of me
Increments of death
By the millions
Millions are being taken

I am you
I am everything you own
I am you

The things we do for love
The tribes we aim to please
Entitlement and title
Through dues and monthly fees
Interest, interest, time
All that you risk acquired

Character, capacity
Collateral and conditioning
You said credete
I said believe in me

I'm not accountable
They rush the queue alone
Competitors, predators and drones
These Western settlers
I've always warned them
Just like your Granddad said
Never spend what you don't have

I am you
I am everything you own
I am you
I am you
I am everything you owe
I am you
I am you
I am everything you own

"Whipping Boy"

"Whipping Boy"


Now it's simple to me, sometimes you have to let go
When there's next to nothing you say yes every time she says no
There's more pain than love, it comes to shove almost
Every time you speak somehow you fight, something's just crazy
Somehow it's taking all the life left in you

You're losing ground, carrying that torch
You're not asking for much, as she has had time to heal
And she doesn't need you any longer and you've had time to drink
And you call her to tell her you've gotten much stronger
At three in the morning she says stop calling
"'Cause everyone's asleep. Some of us work.
You're driving me crazy. I've learned to get on with my life."

Now every night's Friday night, picking fights with your friends
Somehow trying to make amends
So you search for comfort in a friend,
It's not the same, she won't understand
You both learned to think alike,
So what was so wrong? Where's she tonight?
Out there drinking, while you're left in thinking
It's taken all the life left in you

You're losing ground, carrying that torch
You're not asking for much, still somehow
You'll wait for her, say she'll return,
But you still carry that torch, that girl whipping boy

"Wind In Your Sail"

"Wind In Your Sail"


It's negative
I wish you the worst dear
To feel the greatest pain
A positive
You say it's all in vain
You know I felt
And I won't feel again
I know you..
Hours of madness
Years of dysfunction
The deepest embitterment
No will to strive or achieve
Finally in breakdown
Perpetual fall on your knees
As you crawl back to me...
It ends like this
I can hope for bliss
If you fail again
Cause I'm right here
To witness every step
And when you trip
I will cherish it
Hours of madness
Years of dysfunction
The deepest embitterment
No will to strive or achieve
Finally in breakdown
Perpetual fall on your knees
As you crawl back to me...
I live to watch you fail
I live to watch you fail
I live to watch you fail
I am the wind in your sail
I wish you the worst dear
To feel the greatest pain
Cause I'm right here
To retrieve all you stole
Every tear
And everything you own
And I wish you
Hours of madness
Years of dysfunction
The deepest embitterment,
No will to trust anyone
This is how I live
This is how you left me blue
As I crawl back to...

"You Know Me"

"You Know Me"


We hangout remotely with pretend friends
We share these moments all alone
We strive for virtue virtually
Self-promoting these stage clothes

We search for soul in every blue forgotten room
And they wont know us at all

Once a moment of nostalgia
Now forms a sharp repressing cast
Abstraction evolves from past lives renewed
Through change in latitude we leave behind empathy

Darling, you know me
But I don't know you at all

Fifteen minutes of fame (all day long)
Self-image we created (self-delusion)
Fingertips paint the screen
My children will have to teach me
And I won't know them at all

In solitude we long for union
In union we sell for collected change
But how will I miss you if you won't go away?

Darling, you know me
But I don't know you at all

No longer intimate
No longer physical
So I don't know you at all

"Hello. These are the things left behind in your wake: distraction, disconnection, conformity, waste, irrelevance, debt, narcissism, regret, disease, isolation, and bodies."
