The Letter X

the light has gone out from my life
a blaring train split my daughter like a knife
don't call the cops dear don't ever leave my side
I can't deal with rejection on my mind

I heard that depth is the greatest of heights
please don't talk to me at this time
I get unstable and really really sad
I hope you don't listen
I hope you understand

the words the messenger said
were the worst words I ever heard
I heard you're back for me But I'm not back for you
you oughtta talk to me - I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO

the trains leaving
I crossed the tracks
Just run me over with
The sweetest 4 feet the world could ever have
And it's 8 inches longer than that!

Just make a choice
make it go away
I don't want to wake up
I need a minute to throw up in my mouth
you threw up in my mouth
the letter x, the letter x
the letter x, the letter x

I bought a gun last night
I'm gonna get into a fight
The letter x, the letter x
the letter x, the letter x

Goodnight My Feans (Goodnight Irene Rewritten)

Sing me Goodnight
sing me Goodnight
Goodnight sweet dreams
and Goodnight my feans
I'll see you in my dreams

Last Saturday night, I got wasted,
me and that girl settled down
Now me and that girl are parted,
I'm gonna take another stroll downtown

Sometimes I wish I was nothing,
sometimes I stare at the ground
Sometimes I have a great notion,
to jump into the river and drown

Stop my rambling, stop my gambling,
stop staying out late at night
Go home to your life and your family
grab the salvia and I’ll grab the pipe

I love her touch, God knows I do,
I'll want it the seas run dry
But if she ever turns me down,
then I'll take morphine and die

Die In A Fire

you say you wanna die in a fire
ask me what that means to you
you say you wanna die in a fire
I don't wanna die with you

you push me up
you pull me down
that's what I seen
that's what I found
give me a verb
give me a noun
what is your work?
how does it sound?

you say that we should die in a fire
I said that I need to think it through
I'd rather stay inside and talk to you
but that's something that you don't wanna do

you push me up
you pull me down
that's what I seen
that's what I found
give me a verb
give me a noun
what is your work?
how does it sound?

I'm hoping that I die in a fire
burn away and float to the ground
I wish I knew a way to start a fire
without everyone I know burning down

The smoke builds up
the roof falls down
I'm on the phone
and you miss my call
give me a rope
hand it on down
watch this old house
burn to the ground

Kill My Dick

kill my dick
fuck my face
get back to my room
we've got time to waste
waste away

this tastes bad
and it just gets worse
i rifled through your empty purse

i found nothing to find
i found nothing is fine

give me back the keys to my room
give me back the photos you took
of the dead cat lying on the walk
your lying to me
I can tell when you talk

about the most awful things
you never relent and you never listen
but I'm just like you
but I don't do the things you do
he stands and waits alone
he stands inside his home

alone

I know how to make you feel good
I know I can't even trust you too
but I want to forget it all and I just did no I'm just kidding
and I'll never have a baby
never with you or anyone
or anything to do with fun
out the window with my baseball bat
my dreams I never had they crack in half
laughing at myself was the best thing to do
what can I say? fuck my face
you lay on thick
kill my dick
fuck my dick
kill my face
and fuck my dick
kill my face
and fuck my dick

I Don't Get Sleep Anymore

I don't get sleep anymore
I don't eat food anymore
you say you are concerned
I'm not very sure

eating the markers I threw at your face
drawing a picture and I sit in my waste
you look so fine and I hope that I dye
my hair a new color like it will make me a monster
like I'll put my arms around you
like you'll like me when I do
it's been years and years since then
and I've been getting worse hands
play a game
play for nothing
saying it again
well just say something
we can do whatever you want
it doesn't matter
of course it does
and then I drop you off it's hard enough
without thinking of you
everything happens again
this always happens
and I don't wanna be your friend again

cause
I don't get sleep anymore
I don't eat food anymore
you say you are concerned
I'm not very sure

I don't like people that much
I don't like you calling so much
I don't like the feel of your touch
stop talking
you're fucking this up
you don't know what it's like
to be hated
oh yes I do
oh you knew

I don't get sleep anymore
I don't eat food anymore
you say you are concerned
I hate your words
it doesn't make a difference
I'm just kidding I never meant it
why do you drive
to my house
why do you lie
what are you talking about
I'm going back to bed
but I'm not gonna sleep
I'm going to lay my head
and I
and I
and I don't sleep a wink
I don't want to think

These Roads Are Made For Hearses

we bike hours into miles
I smile for a minute or two
the lights don't flicker under the subway
and neither do me and you
666 to 7 you never stopped
singing that old song
so I went to the graveyard
because that's where I belong

"won't you hold me?
you don't know me
and I have to say to you
that these roads are made for hearses
do you want to rehearse too?"

"come with me" no I won't cause you're gonna hate me
flying kites in the dark have you heard of reiki
out with your demons
and in with the sunkist
your phone went dead and I lost my wallet
if I don't call you by 7:30 do me a solid call the authorities
blasting your stereo to be alone with the calm
a black fire on your doorstep
was the only light on

"won't you hold me?
you don't know me
and I have to say to you
that these roads are made for hearses
do you want to rehearse too?"

I want to give up and stop trying this shit
you could say in a way I already did
I love you to death but I don't wanna die
I used to have hope
and I used to try

Going To Hell

you waited all night for me to come
I don't come for anyone
I'm getting real nervous
cause I'm all by myself
"you're such a great person"
but those words never help

Help me
Help me
I am in hell
I don't need your words
I just need this L
like nothing before
I'll just fall on the floor
and stare at the stars
I don't know where you are

Circle The Ground

walk back to where I started outside of the graveyard
away from home I'm doing shit a lot
away from home I never could have thought
of you as a friend
as a dead relative holding hands
and the sand will swallow us whole
I get dizzy breathing your air
and I tug my fingers along your long hair
walk away, walk away, macadamia hey
walk away it is true it is true it is true
walk back to where I started
dead maggots around
circle me closely
circle the ground

No Chaser

we made a creaking
broken bodies flying home
we all have secrets you fucking broke my shitty heart
we don't have language to tell you how I feel
but the running water on my face says exactly what it should

you are the best
vodka bottles in my town
I am the rest
frozen burning my lungs down
we took the test
no chaser, not on time enough
we know the rest
you'll die alone

we made a secret to never fall apart
we all have secrets
I broke your goddamn heart
we all have speeches, rehearsed and at the ready
regurgitate not what we think but what we think is best

oh please don't hurry
vodka bottles in my town
I am the rest
frozen burning my lungs down
we took the test
no chaser, not on time enough
we know the rest
you'll die alone

Be The Change

be the change that you want to see
be the failure you're destined to be
you can cry, cry, cry but it don't do shit
you can try, try, try but it don't do shit
and some times, times, times you feel dead inside
we can try, try, try but we'll crash mid-flight
be the chance I wanted to see
see the failure that I'm destined to be
you can try, try, try i'm still not here
you can cry, cry, cry I can't listen
and some times, times times you just wanna curl up and die
but it's fine, fine, fine everything is a lie

ch-ch-ch-changes turn and face the axe
ch-ch-changes you're all alone again

Polars (Unfinished)

they're building a house
on the oceanside
there's no door to walk in
and no one gets out
you can't go inside
and you can't leave
with your soul intact
or your mental disease

we float like we're magnetic
particles screaming in agony
pushing your comforting
reassurance into the deep

m a g n e t i c
icy spikes of sense disease

To Love You

d-e-a-d I'm fucking dead inside
and you don't need me
I'm useless when I try
(I wish you could see, you're the one for me
you're a rescue boat drifting out to sea)

the only good thing that I want in life is you
I want to try

to love you
that idea of you
that's in my mind
to love you
I have no idea
how to make you mine

watching tv
just to pass the time
I'll stay inside today
wishing you were mine
(I wish you had seen, you were the one for me
It chokes me up inside thinking of what could be)

cause the only good thing that I had in life was you
I wanted just

to love you
that idea of you
that's in my mind
to love you
I have no idea
how to make you mine
