oh no, you're tied
with your tongue against the ice
i was checkin in
for the thousandth time
yeah it's just
red wine
for now
and coffee late tonight
i was wondering
i was clawing out my eyes
burn the city down
keep the churches and hospitals around
keep the birds on the ground
lock the office down
taking your time
pushing shit aside
things are different now
cutting clouds out of the sky
i've been waiting in line
still sleeping every night
i've been bored
again
like you thought i might

rowing in red
and you run out of breath
all the worms around your bed
digging tunnels in your head
and spinning plates
in a ridge in your waist
you'll just yell
until you're red
cause you can love me when i'm dead
i'm riding into your wake
any way
to shave away the weight
brushing away
every little drop of rain
and oh, i'd say
anything to make you stay
out of the way
in everything
cash in the wind
and you're drugged up again
so you talk to the police
and get off easier than me
eyeing your bag
with a toy in his hand
mother fucker
i will take
every penny that you made

clouds separate
feel it crumble underneath
we've been circling the drain
these days
melt from the rain
feel you clogging up my veins
sayonara terra
bad before its date
i'll turn my back on the train
the blood will decorate
and this time
my stain
will fade
sharks suffocate
fins are withering away
and all this effort never paid
still the same
dig through the pain
i will burrow in your grave
i could tear away
the spaces where i stay
i'll turn my back on the train
the blood will decorate
this time, that face
is hanging in my brain
this time, my stain

all the crows explode
from the church bell
singin off
and all your family's home
chewing toothpicks
stabbing thumbs
it's cocaine
on christmas
your wishlist
is foreplay in the basement
with no one listening now
breathing down my throat
were you with them
did it hurt
run me off the road
they saw the way you're living now
and wanted out

sewing seeds
spitting out the poison in an old receipt
tripping over trenches
catching when you speak
cutting up my head
the glass is comforting
pretend to fall asleep
so i don't have to hide
to hear you crumbling
wonder where you fell
and how you dissapear
you're looking in
it's like you never wanted it
i'll scribble in your name
on every single page

still
in friction
smoke stains
in the kitchen
cell guards
falling asleep
spin
your ribbons
it rains,
then you want in
hilltop
holy war
dents in benches
it's stiff
like wooden limbs
flood lights
burning alive
and i was afraid you were catching on
the buckets of paint in the parking garage
i finally found a friend, is all
but i'm lying anyway
so give up the game
spell out the names
i'm on your ledge and i won't wait
cause so far
you've had us running laps
around the bait
you're lying anyway

I'll pull the footing out
And you'll turn my room around
I'm standing in wallpaper
I'll wear you like a shell
When I'm not feeling well
No everything is excellent
I'd see the frozen rain
You'd make your best friends leave
I must've let you down
I must've let you down
Up in the northmost state
I let my knuckles bleed
I must've let you down
I must've let you down
Trip over dissidence
I still put out my hand
Evaporate,
And I'll breathe your waste
I wonder how you are
No sense in waiting on me
Spare your head
The agony
I'd see the frozen rain
You'd make your best friends leave
I must've let you down
I must've let you down
Up in the northmost state
Little bugs crawling on your face
I must've let you down
Is that all you want
No colors on the walls
Stay how you are
In Gehenna

dwell the day away
brittle then it breaks
i forget the shame
and you forget my name
there's no filling up that space
it's kinda raining
i'm drenched in tremors
i'm gonna mold to your shape
see me god?
my head is falling off
i swallow your anchors
dissipate
your hammer on my teeth
picking what you keep
hard enough to speak
when all i got was cheap
i felt so far away

passing on
pretty sure you're not
i would sit
on the edge
of the bed
lost it all
i don't need to hear a lot
almost drove off the road
when i saw my hand
bled again
i was stumbling
creeping in
like your parents did
and i thought i heard you
running out of the house
when the porch light turned back on
and i felt my ribcage
falling out of the plane
when we hit the runway
walk it off
smash the window in my car
wearing thin
running out
sleeping in
peeling out
steer away from autumn fog
the windshield flew
through the side
of my head
swore away all the others
falling in
like you left it
