Get up, smile, find a need, wash your hair, bleach your teeth Develop habit, Automatic Compromise, build a bridge, Sacrifice, sacrilege Sell yourself, Automatic Nobody out there knows None of them have intent Pretension and purpose Fashioned in plastic heads Everyone drives all day None of them have a goal Everyone's lost their way All of them play the game Set a goal Make it happen Imagine love Fake a passion Change your name Stay in fashion Make a deal Make it happen Compromise, build a bridge Sacrifice, sacrilege Same cars Same clothes Same desires Same woes Lose it all Automatic Nobody out there feels None of them sees the end Pretension and purpose Fashioning plastic heads Everyone drives all day Searching their empty hearts Everyone's lost their way All of us fall apart Automatic Automatic
Don't leave me in this room The walls are closing in This is the space I used to say The line is drawn for you each day But every day you show With sound of caving walls Some day this song will have no pulse And I'll cave alone But there we are Waiting for your answer Your arms speeded elation Beating out your salvation But when the tape stopped you were gone A half measure from home This week I recreate Edit you back into The blare that could define you Coveted by few who knew The phone rings without pause This grief wills everyone All I have is our shitty song How could it ever be enough? Here we are in our final accord A mortician and his tools Sonically bury you You could have chose another chord to resolve on
We colonize a better place (Unable to transform our fate) We follow whatever path grows (Directions no one knows) Given the choice for normalcy You seem content in who you've come to be
They said he re-installed his plague (Said to have re-vamped that limp vein) As if it all ends formulaic (Painless escape) We share the same virus of love and hope And it's a fleeting beauty
You did everything you could You were there for him through bad and good So disappear before you follow suit The parasites, they are still there to swallow you
Beating through an obtrude chest Every emotive plea's a stretch No praise enough to build a life (No words to instill pride) And through your life disorder rides
I did everything I could Mostly there for him through bad and good I disappeared as always waiting for the born-again call The one that signals to us all This bender's over again
Listen for one last faint heartbeat (Holding his hand in hopes he breathes) All of those sad years have come to this (Your head lay on his sunken chest) The thought of you at his deathbed The latest virus in my head Unjust, unjust
Selfless you tended to our ghost Katherine an unconditional untiring host Well you were there for him when he needed you the most I hope someone restores your heart I hope something restores your world
Used to recognize the gun in your hand Promise, squandered Used to understand the stake in your heart Mileage, road worth
But it's hard to recognize the massive burden Born of love and bad deeds And it runs in the family from beginning to end It is just revenge
Everybody build a monument to pain Flowers, fast cars Everybody raise the thief in their heart It's just a beating
And it sounds just like a million other tributes Customs and demons And it runs in the family with a million regrets It's just (It's just revenge) revenge
Everybody build a monument to fear Unsafe people Everybody raise a paranoid child
It's just an over-stimulated mind
And it sounds just like a billion people starving with no resource for love And it runs in the family with a million missteps It's just revenge
Everything echoes Everyone emulates Everyone is a victim of their blood Everyday initiate Everything echoes Everyone echoes All of us are running with the wolves
As you sat on the bed Moments from your end Inconceivable dread Inches from your head I can't bear to imagine you In that horror scene One too sad to be In my mind's eye I am there Embracing you so scared Now you kill me too You killed me too
Decidedly willing to lie for you Absolutely willing to cry for you Ill at ease in saying goodbye to you A part of me will never know
I am there, again, intervals of red An accomplice to Things I couldn't do In a fable disabled
I say words like foolish son God what have you done I'm a thin blue clich??????짤, hopelessly I'm a mouthful of doubtful
Decidedly willing to lie for you Say again Willing to cry for you Finally saying goodbye to you A part of you I'll never know
Looking through the spyglass in a punctured sky While your garden died You couldn't see the sky for your fallen stars Endless in your arms You were still alive even as the sad astronaut
How does it start? When does it end? Blood and love graces everyone You only want to touch it once He didn't give it up She wasn't long enough They didn't save your falling smile He never had a chance
But there it is You're finally blessed And you can't handle it
The worst
What did it say? All you really need is love But you're gonna make those fuckers pay You're gonna hurt someone That's all there really is The ones that don't survive They lied to you a thousand times And your starving heart has died
But there it is You're finally blessed
Failure, failure, failure A cement frown breaking Allows a straight line blown away It fell at thirteen
You're wide awake Hours blind every winding curve You start the fall from grace
The worst
You never had a chance But here it is You're finally blessed
What if I had nothing left? What if I had no one left? Why would I??짖€??짝 Who would I survive? Dead man, he leaves his home Hopeless, he holds his goals higher, higher, low I just wanted to see you wake up one day With a real smile on your face What if you felt certainty? Granted trust when you were young Why would you??짖€??짝
How would you let go? I just wanted to see you wake up one day With an expectation I just wanted to see you wake up one day With a real smile on your face
Controlled, consumed Thoughts unattached Each one a failed synapses detached from fact One positive, one negative Desperate, holding on to healthy images
Remember witness, wattness, matters we're not gonna make it Provoking everyone but no one gives a...
Half laugh, half sigh Half-sad, half-smile Losing ability to recall his half-life Burn from the stove Keys locked inside Dazed as impending anger turns up in reprise
Remember green light, keeper, easy and eyes on the road ahead Provoking everyone with all the words he said
Infectious
I won't speak of all that would have been Gained, lost, spent But I won't think of all that could have been
Controlled, consumed Thoughts unattached Outburst, these images are melding in my head
Remember Franken, Milkweg, Lintfabrik The weirdest we have seen Fires and blown-out tires Perfect tragedy
Infectious Infectious
But I won't think of all that should have been Waste, lost, spent But I won't think of all that could have been
Goodbye old friend I won't speak of all that could have been Goodbye old friend I won't speak of all that could have been Goodbye old friend
The days are full of storybook romance the myriad of thoughtful acts A million ways I'm into you I'm never getting over you I'm sorry for exposing you I know you hate it when I do But I had to write one for my better half
The days are new, the nights unwind You break my world, you change my mind Run out of love, come down from life Run out of pain, my life has changed
It's obvious it's all been said in cheesy poems and chick flicks The mushy shit that people say, it makes us chuckle everyday So how can I express to you the recent dramas we've been through I wouldn't have been fine without your help
The days are new, the nights unwind
You touch my world, you change my life Run out of love, run out of life Come down from hate, the world has changed
But we may never have met if it weren't for him Hey Derrick, maybe somehow you're listening
Today's mantra is gratitude You changed my life I'm sure you knew I'll never forget the words that you said The life that you lead I'll never forget, I'll never forget
You won't find me condescending at your closed door you won't hear how I feel. say you've been there before the holiday's the hardest time to fill in all the blanks and you don't need anyone to show you those mistakes wrap yourself up in only math of our world fill up the holes in your full heart with details for all the riddles solved and every puzzle you complete can't seem to find the pieces to the heart that beats you'll master every task but always by the book then log it in your past with risk that you once took they left you then, they'll hurt you now can't get too close to you or you will cut them down and any fool can play I'll raise the stakes with another turn we risk, we roll and we burn at arms length you never get hit there's too much to gamble when you let someone in my true friend I'm spewing and only one more positive I just might spill some notable insight I didn't think before I purged so here I am attempting to unlock your closed door I wouldn't break it down 'cause you'd be gone for sure you might say something nice of me and send it in a card or under whiskey breath slur kind words at the bar and you're sinking me while you stay afloat in the tank you built we drop, we'll never learn
