Sit alone
Stare ahead
Heed the words that
I once said
Finally you agree
That this could never happen
No we could never be
But you were like
One of five people
Dancing to the songs that I wrote.
You were like one of five
People dancing to the songs that I wrote.
Have a drink,
On me.
We'll mix some ginger ale
With a little whiskey
Comatose as you slip inside
I'll let it destroy all of my
Foolish pride
You were like one of five people
Dancing to the songs I wrote.
Would you meet me here when I collapse?
Would you meet me there?

Mare
02:53
|

In a cold and absent silence
Lays a gentle refreshing gaze
My palms sweating from a cellphone
I’d been holding on for days
With my back that’s nearly broken
And the sun burning my feet
You can hear my weak old whistle
Learning to escape my teeth
You’re the daughter of the rhythm
Dancing through a midnight flood
Letting water hit your ankles
Calm as hands holding a gun
In the hours of a burden
I’m the mare holding the reigns
But you’ll always be my driving love
Weeks with you, they never seem to change.
Holding onto body pillows
Making out your little frame
Hurricane of dissolution
Tearin’ through my fucked up brain
Eat away my nasty spirit
Tell me how I’ll never change
Ask me all the little questions
That will make me sound the same
You’re the son of Bad Religion
Dancing through a crooked day
Sweating in a punk rock desert
Letting rage run through your veins
In the hours of a burden
I’m the mare holding the reigns
But you’ll always be my devil boy
Weeks without you always seem to change.
Starving myself for attention
Holding out for what is love
Be the angel who will kill me
With your darkness from above
I am painfully pathetic
But I’m learning everyday
What it truly means to love you
And to show it along the way
I’m the God of my own purpose
Dancing into divine light
Passing judgement on my fellow peers
But who’s wrong and who’s right?
In the hours of a burden
I’m the mare holding the reigns
Introspective lovers quarrel
You’re the ball across my chain
In the hours of a burden
I’m a mare holding the reigns
And you’ll always be my driving love
Weeks without you always seem to change

Making the drive to Conyers, GA
And I am falling asleep
Behind the wheel of my Hyundai Sonata
When I've been waiting all week
Well here's the facts I cannot help
My patterns that I've got ingrained
It may appear that I am tired
But I'm really just super lame.
Shaving your head in the bathtub
Drinking wine out of a box
Making sure that every person
Who you've ever loved
Knows that he is not your crutch.
Screaming "Dammit who's there?"
And why am I so scared?
It's not that I am ill prepared.
It's that I'm unaware
That it's progress for certain
Let's pull back the curtains
I'm getting fatter and I can feel that
Every time I buckle my seatbelt
I wanna fix it but I'm way too goddamn lazy
And I see people I hate everyday of my life
But I'm too much of a coward to say anything
And I need the courage to speak my mind
I also need to shut up half the fucking time
And I can't keep a secret
I am full of regrets
It is my biggest weakness
But I know for sure
That it's progress for certain
Let's pull back the curtains

Break
02:56
|

I've been getting sick and tired of being sick and tired
But also of my cliches
The only thing that keeps me here
Is you as you push me away
I'm feeling uninspired and I've got weary eyes
Well what's the point of feeling so gray?
When there's beauty on the outskirts of the city I left today.
I left you today.
I've got drunken dreams and even bigger schemes
Of how I will buy you a ring
It's gonna take me a few more years than I thought
But I swear I'll get that damn thing
It's been an overhaul
Of people all who say that I'm just blistering
Constant reminder for others who used be involved with me
I'm just not worth their time.
And I'll watch them die
As I let myself burn
Learning how to respect
All of the people I've hurt
And the lessons that I've learned
I've made it through it all
Is this my curtain call?
Or is it time for me to awake?
I'm so sick of it all
I made this to stall
The intentional heart that I'll break.
I'm a sucker for the outcomes
That I know will come if I wait
God only knows that I'm a liar
But with you I can't
Here's the truth.
I'll keep digging my own grave.

Gate
03:57
|
|||
Fearing death but craving
The loss of my blood
Switchblades, headaches,
Biting the head of a gun
And I try to argue a point
To an empty screen
Stay silent, boy
Keep your nose clean
Then I slip up
Oh no you said to play nice
Fever dreams of a calm paradise
Crucify me, baby
Chains gonna wrap me
Throw me in the interstate
Freedom's blinding
Lead me to the golden gate
Goosebumps makin their way
Out of my skin
Mutterin’ nonsense to myself
Wearing me thin
I've tried pills, tried booze, tried grass
None of it worked
Is this a sickness or
Did I get cursed?
Chains gonna wrap me
Throw me in the interstate
Freedom is blinding
Lead me to the golden gate
