Drag

Some days I can hardly bring myself to smile or wave or talk about the weather
And the bullshit stitched into the fabric of this life I live, it’s giving me a rash
And if I drink I’ll probably just get in a fight
And if I go to bed now I’ll be up all night
But you should go, you should go, you should go have fun without me
I’m a drag I know
I’m stuck in the sludge and sunk down below
like the losers I love
I’m okay I guess
I’m just not fun anymore
If it were up to me, I would gladly trade this scene for another human being
We could lie awake, say everything we want to but we’re too afraid, we’re all so damn afraid
And if I smoke I’ll probably just disconnect and spend the night dissecting what is real and what I project
But you should go, you should go, you should go find love without me
I’m a drag I know
I’m stuck in the sludge and sunk down below
like the losers I love
I’m okay I guess
I’m just not fun anymore
I don’t wanna end up like a skidmark spread on a futon waiting to die
Watching cartoons naked while I finger my couch for some leftover fries
I’m a drag I know
I’m stuck in the sludge and sunk down below
like the losers I love
I’m okay I guess
I’m just not fun anymore

Fall In

When I drop you off
I can feel it sink
Like a cinder block
Tied to my feet
Beneath the trees
By the fountain in the park
There’s a hole so deep
Where it all goes dark
And I wanna fall in
When I walk you home
I can feel it clench
Like a braided rope
Around my neck
In another life
I am someone else
I can fall in love
I can lose myself
Above my room
Through the window in the sky
There’s a river so big
Where it never runs dry
And I wanna fall in
And I wanna fall in

Cigarette

I could see her breathe
In the parking lot she steals my keys
And slides into my car so casually
Fogging up the glass drawing hearts for me
We could take that road
But we both know how that ends
Roll me over on a riverbed
Carve my name into a tree
I wanna rip you like a cigarette before
We burn out tragically
Drinking in the skyline view
I thought this party would help me take my mind off you
But flipping through my phone I see your name
And a message that could only mean one thing
Would you take that road
Roll me over on a riverbed
Carve my name into a tree
I wanna rip you like a cigarette before
We burn out tragically
Set a flower by her silhouette
Dump my ashes in the sea
I wanna rip you like a cigarette before
We burn out tragically
Spinning out, I’m speeding down the backroad to your house
I should just turn back now, but something always brings us back around
Would you take that road?
Roll me over on a riverbed
Carve my name into a tree
I wanna rip you like a cigarette before
We burn out tragically
Set a flower by her silhouette
Drag my body out to sea
I wanna rip you like a cigarette before
We burn out tragically

I Tried

Fall into my arms
Baby, you’re my best friend
Echo in the dark
We were in your dorm
Silent by the window
Staring at the storm
Softly on the bed I tried
To give myself completely, but inside…
Oh baby I tried
I tried
Sitting on the floor
Naked in the bathtub
Rub you till your sore
You don’t like my friends
I was so excited
Let’s just go to bed
Tomorrow we can try again
Next year will be different
Please don’t cry
Oh baby I tried
Baby, give it time
I’ll be who you want me
Look into my eyes
Let me come inside
I could be your family
Holy Matricide
Slit your throat at night
Climbing out the window
Screaming as I drive
Baby, tell me why
Baby tell me why do I feel nothing turn to nothing in your eyes
Oh baby I tried

Stay
04:59
|

|
I have come to break the silence, drop the act, bare the blame
And speak my heart completely unabridged and unashamed
Midnight in my phone light, there was truth in what I said
A dream that you and I were whole and happy in the end
Stay, Stay
I won’t ask you to forgive me, I won’t tell you not to go
I hope you find the peace of mind I felt those nights alone
Clothes drenched on a park bench, absolution in the rain
I know whatever happens life will go on all the same
Stay, Stay
