I'll come clean, I'll come clean / I'll come clean if you do the same / And I won't, no I won't call you out on your shit / Like the boys that went to your college / I'm not the kid that you met when you were 21 / Don't go and say that you're sorry / Because these are feelings we all have / I tried catching up in the meantime, but that always made me feel so bad / Why don't we just go / Like we had a sense of direction / Why don't we just run / Like we knew where we were headed / We were just so young / I let ignorance get in the way of love / I'll hold still, I'll keep still / Take your time and steady your aim / If I scream out your name, please don't take this easy on me / Because I'll admit I only want what I can't have / And I’ll admit I’ll probably always be a drag / And I hear the others when they call me / Jesus Christ I won’t pick up / And you seem to be doing just fine in the meantime / I’ve already said too much / Why don't we just go / Like we had a sense of direction / Why don't we just run / Like we knew where we were headed / We were just so young / I let ignorance get in the way of love / Your apathy took up all our fun / Now my cheap thrills are killing everyone / You know I tried to help you out / You knocked me down, you cast your doubts / Broken hearts get hard to count / Your broken hearts get hard to count / I hope you’re doing fine in the meantime
2.
Close your eyes, I’ll eventually take you there / I am the clown that cries, lovingly leading to the gas chambers / And I apologize for being unprepared / But I get you, believe that I do / Bless-ed, are we? Laugh about it now / Bury it down just a little more / Drank December, became volatile / I’ve lost control and bruised my hand on the floor / We're so proud of a man you can't become / Smile a bit, it’s ugly when you don’t I’m the bitch fit you always throw / The great pretender replaying this bender / Your least favorite age, your fears, mistakes your faults / You never meant to call, or even talk at all, drink alcohol or like my songs / Is that so wrong or too much to ask for? / Like shit to flies I’m attracted to despair / We’ve gotten way too high and burned up by solar flares / And you may be right but I deserve to be sometimes / If only you were nice and I was there
3.
What am I running from? What am I so scared of? / Why get up and try again when you got up stopped and said you’ve never been so careful And I’ve been haunted by shadow men / Crept past the corner of my eye / And said be careful because I said so / I’ve got the feeling that you’re all safe but this is gonna be a long year / Fail more times than I ever succeed / I blame it on stress or perhaps grief or the fact I do not eat / When they all know my shame I’ll stab and push down all the way / I take it all with a straight face / I should walk home but that’s not the case / Wake up you’re dreaming / I can’t and it’s freezing / A home left to the sons of sorrow / H A P P Y / Let’s celebrate for the recent loss of body weight now / H A P P Y / Let’s celebrate for the reasons why you ran away now / I’m stoking the fire, I can’t keep from losing control / I read William S all night to feel that I’m not so bad / I’m the silent type, an alcoholic academic / Part time socialite / Talk’s cheap but we all slaughter it / I digress, I feel ill / I’ve been spracked, i’ve been spun, I’ve been bombed out just for fun / I’m hungry like the wolf and I am as rabid as one / It’s not fair, the worst kind of hobby / But have you ever laughed to death? / You know you wouldn’t be here if it were true / And have you ever scored some meth and lit up the lightbulb like the whole idea was a good one, if great one if nothing at all / I took shots out of needles and came back for more, and If they should ask me why I needed more I guess I’ll say that I am a diabetic / This is so damn pathetic
4.
Liars 03:08
I grew up deceived, misled completely / A paramount mortal, so damned important / An incredibly good lie, the only kind i’m ever told / I’ve got a receding hairline, crooked teeth and alone / Please forgive the undeserving fits as families grew / Your first became his middle name, your middle went to someone new / Singing uh oh, oh uh oh, do I feel entitled? / Play it again, Sam / Of all the boy’s rooms in the world / She walked into mine, man / And as I try not to let her I’m reminded that i’m not fearless, not able to confront what I hate / I get used and tolerate it / What scares me the most is what I do to pass time / I sleep all damn day so tomorrow will bring something new / A lifetime wasted on working / I’m not going out there again / If we can’t avoid sorrows then fuck our tomorrows / I’m not going out there again / Tell the teachers and liars and newspaper writers / I’m not going out there again / Such a curse, try to forget you’re doing worse / And maybe old songs could prove me wrong / But I don’t think that they can, how could I understand back then? / And maybe love songs could be as strong / As the feeling they suggest, but I couldn’t care less / The world it trembles when I’m sober or at least I do / Naked Ginsberg on her wall, I pretend I knew him / And now I can see I’m fucked completely / I grew up, I’m older, it’s all a bummer / But I really can do better when I’m falling apart / Like the most positive leper, luck has taken me this far / And it wouldn’t make a difference if I fumbled with art because I’m beaming with unoriginality
5.
Oh, tell me more about how I’m advantageous / Tell me more, tell me more til my fucking ears bleed / How could I ever live up to such expectations while I’ve been in my room where I sit and fume for weeks? / Call it obtuse or call it courage, call it what you will / But for my next trick i’m gonna mix all this shit and transform into a charismatic individual / Is there a problem? Before you never cared enough for I to share / Incredibly I have become the meanest thing so dangerous / And any day now you’ll wake up and realize they write and make beautiful words like “shit” or “piss” or “fuck” / I’ve played the part of Clare Quilty and I’ll stalk your body until you like me / What is worse, dying lonely or against me, honey? / And if you don’t protect your throat / I’ll think about cutting it but I won’t, but I’d like to / I could help you with that lump that makes you choke / Or just forget about it, whatever one comes first / I show up at the party, the one that insults all your friends / But just read my mind and you will find that it’s all just pretend / I’m just jealous and a little bit possessive / I’m sure you understand
6.
Like A Dog 04:41
I slit my wrist, just to watch the crimson flow / All the words that I wrote are pooling on the floor / Your shaking hands, they won’t open up this door / If it’s a place we've been before, then I'm not staying / Pages caked with dust / Handwritten stories unfinished / I found myself at the end of a leatherbound collection / Stories written by a friend / A sweet, most certainly dead friend / And at the end a sad journey into the reflection of one’s self / And it hurt as I thought, how could I respect wishes and just burn, take a walk, as it burned all his life work in a box, under suits, a padlock / His genius understood / His last words, “Like a dog” / I could have been there and I can, but I won’t because I can / Maybe i’m just getting old, sentimental towards a friend / But I’ve been drinking all day long, can’t quite pinpoint what it is / I’m trying to be strong, strong for him but I’m afraid that I just can’t / I see that cross, you've been wearing around your neck, I pretend like I forget, until it's on my back / You sing my songs like you knew what they meant / You’ve agreed but can't respect, so put my words in embers and in ash / I’m spread thin, oh headaches / Forget it, I’ll spend the next few years with my head down low / Undress them with my eyes some more / I’ve spent some time sleeping and I hate it / But I need it, I know that / Just pieces left with apathetic readjustment / Oh, my god, oh ma’am / Would you like to stay and watch the digression of a man? / I promise one hell of a show, maybe cut off both my hands / Limp around the stage til I get sick / I’m afraid that I just can’t / Talk too much, no, not right now / I am losing my near sight, my wits, my smile / But I can’t quite pinpoint what it is, I’ve been drinking for a while / Find what you love and let it kill you
7.
Splinters 02:51
Is it me? Is it you? Is it all we ever do - is to compete for Santa Sangre, and a modicum of sleep? / Wait, back up / I told you once I don’t mean to get so fucking angry / You know that it’s so hard to sing without you? / Why is it so hard to sing and never doubt? / Embarrassing to think that I can be something / A beautiful thick mind is my escape / No working smiles without a cup of coffee / You know that it’s so hard to sing without you? / Why is it so hard to sing and never doubt? / I boast a little bit / A toast to our friends and triumphs / The reflection of a ghost beneath Edgewater / And although I’m far from home I feel okay / Just know I miss you more every single day / Humble adults you all may be / You’re dealing with a boy in so much trouble / Just don’t hate me, don’t hate me / I can’t help but lose my mind / Don’t take my things down from off the shelf / I’ll be back and things will be fine
8.
So you lived how you wanted to? / Trapped in pride and progress / You watched as your parents died, in the house where you grew up / So you live without compromise? / Do you know the meaning? / You're trapped by faith and standards / Or are you just too scared to leave? What if your grass is greener, somewhere else / Is it life you can’t face? / You run and always find yourself back in the same place / Everything dies, that won’t change / You take the bad with the good / Scratch out your own existence, when its gone no one will miss it / Our time and each other are all we’ve got / I work for the weekend, so I have something / A ride home, and a place to stay / I sing to the rhythm / I won’t die for nothing / I’ll have some fresh air when I suffocate / We sing to the rhythm, we won't die for nothing
