All I ever wanted was a little taste of the good time.
Let's try something dangerous.
Open up your eyes and open up your mouth.
Open your mouth wide.
I sweat it when it happens and it happens way too much:
I raise my hand in public trying to look smart.
No one saw it coming.
Open up your eyes and open up your mouth.
It slipped right through my teeth; all my broken teeth.

Headless

Silhouette: dripping sweat onto my clothes.
Juxtaposed to the cleanest dream,
Squealing like bald tires on a wet road.
I felt your breath but never saw your face.
I can't comprehend how that could ever change.
We've only ever stayed the same.
At a loss.
This crossroad bore a curious sign.
At the time, seemed a simple choice;
Near vocal in its persuasive pull.
Which fitted illness crippled both your wings?
I'd give anything to keep you under soil
And hope you'll grow into something.

Please understand that I'm lost with no substance to
Make me feel like I'm in control, and I do
Spiral beyond the depths and down to the point
Where I'm trying to move through the ground with these joints.
She's upset because nothing ever works, and I try
To help but I'm just a selfish asshole. So I
Keep quiet and I dream her pain,
Just to see if I can feel something strong again.
I'm nothing you couldn't replace if you really tried.

I guess I'll go back to swinging wrenches
I spent my money chasing skirt
She said, "No I'm out that door!"
I guess I'll go back to changing oil
I tried so hard to fit in
Hollywood won't have me
They said: "You're not dumb, you're too scared"
She looks so god damn good when she stares
Her gaze cuts like a knife
Rips the gravity from under my roots
Force-feed me insight
I took the medicine
Just to forget again
Still left quite an impression oh no
I guess it's to my time take your bet
I see your thighs are soaking wet
I said, "Do you like it on the floor?"
I guess I'll go back to the loser's well
I'm doing my best to stay so dry
Hollywood won't have me
They said: "You're not dumb, you're too scared"

Wasted

Sometimes I get so wasted.
Sometimes I can't breathe, I can't sleep.
I wanted something more.

Animal

She tilts her head. Understand, yeah?
Big hands lie on the hour glass
She hears a voice in the background
She doesn't care when it gets loud
She wants you
She wants an animal
She wants you
Tame her in the dark
Are you scared?
This time she wants all her nerves gone
She likes her name loud from the hallway
She doesn't know what it takes to
Make friends with boys
She wants you
She wants an animal
She wants you
Tame her in the dark
Don't let her see you
When you've got something to hide

Melt

I've had thoughts:
Soda pop luxury yachts
I've had friends turn lollipops into pens
I only want one thing:
Melt away and forget everything
I only want one thing: to think
I've had so many dreams:
Feel, touch, see, be everything
I only have one need:
To breathe
That skin is greasy
Don't tease me
Hard candy sunlight, I won't bite
I only need this taste
Same meal every day, never waste
Feet melt and I can't leave:
Relief
I only want one thing:
To melt and forget everything.

I want nowhere to be right now
You should look closer
You might just feel the way I do
I want no one to see my eyes
I just need to fix my mind
Every time I go outside
we know there's nothing still living inside crawl away to erode or stay and we'll dissipate with time
Put my in the middle of your sorrow
I might tell you something good tomorrow
Maybe I could help you
fall down incinerate in the sunlight carve and drain burn the dust away like you've always fantasized

Sick

You're not mine to tie down when you're sick.
I've tried to cut down but I can't quit.
Let's see how long we can float face-down in the water.
(Sigh) Fuck.
Don't go spending all of your money
On pills so you can't afford to come see me.
I can't tell you why I like it.
When it starts to hurt is when I get excited.
I am sick.

Sunburn Cinema

Stomach feels so sickle cell
Brain reciprocates the virus
Climb down and inject a measured amount
Of sunlight into my eyelids.
This is all right.
This is a moon rise, threatening the dark.
Just like a beer stein.
Just like a good time, filthy in the park.
Sunburn cinema.

Just waking up, now calm yourself.
It's nothing bad. There's nothing bad.
It's just the day. Can you call to mind
When you used to leave this room sometimes?
Ooh, you can see what's wrong with me.
Taste the blood in your cheek.
She can't collapse himself.
Don't look so disappointed.
We never move. We hardly breathe.
Born on a line; on neither side.
We've felt alive. We've been awake.
Now we'll never need to leave this place.

I can hear you coming
I can hear you humming from a mile away
You don't hide it well
If the world doesn't go my way
I've got some kind of solution
I can hear you drowning
I can hear you falling from down the way
From a mile a away
You don't hide it well
I can feel my brain swell
