Rather Be Nothing

we spawn in water
we start off as amputees
it's cruel how soft we are
so awfully hard to breathe
we pair off
i'll never have a career in waking up
if you abandon your dream
you know the sun is refusing to stay up
when all the spirits we spill could fill our cups
another drink should reveal that I've given up
i never wanted to feel so scared of life
i never wanted to feel
so well
i'll bury this fairy tale far below
I'd rather be nothing if not alone

Her and Her Costumes

could’ve ignored me delicately
a doppelgänger trying to change the way I think
an undiscovered situation it seemed
another human undercover is all I see
could've warned you cause the same thing happened to me
shouldn’t record it, immature but it's on your screen
used to adore all of the warnings in all my dreams
set the tape to rewind
relive the greatest day of my life
I could be any enemy that you need
I could be any enemy that you need
meet me and I promise that I won't scream
dressed to kill me, it's time
an exectioner in disguise
see your face as I die
I always knew i'd never survive you

My Very Own Sun

beyond this room I've heard there's some life
seeps thru the whispers from the screen
it gleams and glows like my own sunlight
shining new like a beacon to you
it goes on and on as we sit still for days
so distracted in my skin like it's a cage
outside this room they call for war cries
trying to manipulate and steer
and while I would prefer control I
engineer all the things that I fear
we savor every morning that we waste
leaving traces of our safety in the wake
this goes on and on as we sit still for days
so restrained inside my skin like it's a cage
as the world gives way I see I'm just a slave
while these cowards call for champions to behave
this goes on and on as we sit still for days
too abused to save our skin we celebrate

Dirty Little Headaches

she wants to feel the weight of the world
steal pain and absorb all the life
don't have to kneel so hard for the girl
she strains as your burdens unwind
her eyes were never with pride
just lacked of justice inside
this crown of pity we share
feels like it's dancing on air
she wore a halo made of the dirt
feels shame at the worth of her might
a queen of mercy earning her birth
the strain of the earth is unkind
her answers never divine
inspire distractions in time
this crown of pity we share
makes us pretend that you care

midnight lonely holy times
erasing daylight
blood stains numb you like cocaine
avoid the main line
and as our egos start to die
she just reminds me of snow white
gave into emptiness and smiled
promised we'd sleep for just awhile
red lines serpents in her mind
to dine on late night
abstain from broken open veins
while I repair mine
don't fear the plasma years
(c'mon c'mon c'mon)

Canary

I learn my name
I write with a number two pencil
I work up to my potential
I earn my name
I come when called
I jump when you circle the cherry
I sing like a good canary
I come when called
I come, that's all
send it up on fire
death before dawn
send it up on fire
death before dawn
I clean the house
I put all your books in an order
I make up a colorful border
I clean my mouth
cause froth comes out

there was a day i said
maybe in just a dream
swaying above your head
collecting all your teeth
to wake you from the dead
i need to find my peace
to conjure youth instead
that's what we always seek
admitting honestly
that you were hard to read
the soil seems to weep
the urge to search for pieces
of you under my feet
a thief I set the scene
recurs as if a dream
our time will always repeat
below the surface so deep
i wake you while you're asleep
dig for a common thread
some hair to sow the seed
I need to purge the gray
summon the worst of me
ignore the common pain
search for you underneath
two years inside the grave
i earned my curse today
oh no, I see the bouquet
the orchids burning in shades
reversing stirred in decay
(cry for me, this won't be easy)
as she refused to climb
her eyes were never unkind
her pretty idiot stare
froze all of space with a glare
claim a trace of hair
and swear i'll never just
throw it all away
if i could bring to life
all of the things that had died
should I be ever afraid
of the mistakes i had made
maybe when it's my time
reveal my skeleton I'll
suffer on display
sometimes I wish that I
just had a sensitive side
an endless summer I'd hate
let's just forget I tried
and just accept that I'm
thirty months too late

Drink to the Sky
05:01
|

|
I'm not afraid of a crowd
I'm just too proud to explain
that I prefer when you're gone
I take a dive to stay sane
another whiskey in hand
demanding actual pain that i’ll
feel in the morning for sure
I'm just allergic to fun
under the glass in my face
announce retreat to the rug
where I'm beneath of this place
i'm just concerned when you find me
don't you worry i faint
i just want you to know that
it's just a joke
only feeling suicidal for show
i leave my ear to the ground
i'm just exploring the sound
of how I seem to repeat this
with people around
another gorgeous night
i raise my drink with a fight
but I just can't take this
I'm so wasted
if i could slow it all down
before I really did drown
surrounding daffodil crowns
had found their way to my mouth
in this invisible town
I'd see the insects complain
infinite kingdoms under flowers reclaimed
singing for me to behave
leave me alone
can't take this
or fake this
can't take this
i'm so wasted
