Save me
'Cause I'm
Watching you just slip away
And the faults my own
I'm sinking so low
And the pain begins to grow
Begins to grow
And I've wasted time chasing you
('cause your love is like suicide)
Forget the hurt you put me through
('cause your love is like suicide)
Convincingly she calls to me
Her words so beautiful
And the darkness brings
Everything
That's good rigth out of me
Right out of me
And I've wasted time chasing you
('cause your love is like suicide)
Forget the hurt you put me through
('cause your love is like suicide)
Like suicide...
The times, they've changed
A brand new day
Watching you just slip (away)
And I've wasted time chasing you
('cause your love is like suicide)
Forget the hurt you put me through
('cause your love is like suicide)
And I've wasted time chasing you
('cause your love is like suicide)
Forget the hurt you put me through
('cause your love is like suicide)
Like suicide
With the hurt you put me through
You love...
Like suicide
And I sold my soul
Just to feel you
And I lost it all
Just to see you fall
Cause I want it and I need it and I know for sure
Cause you love it and I hate it but who's keeping score
So confused at her and myself again
Hey my friend
Your salvation will never last
So can you catch me cause I'm falling
And I light a fuse
Just to prove to you
That no money can buy
The hate I have inside for you
Don't fake it just say it and I'll give you more
Cause I'll wreck it the second you're out the door
So confused at her and myself again
Hey my friend
Your salvation will never last
So will you catch me cause I'm falling
Cause I'm falling
Cause I want it and I need it and I know for sure
Cause I love it and I hate it and I'll die for more
So confused at her and myself again
Hey my friend
Your salvation will never last
But nothing is left to be
When the truth is ruined
So can you catch me cause I'm falling
Cause I'm falling
And my insecurities
Breeding on this disease
Slowly threatening my brain
I think I'm
GOING INSANE
These thoughts that can't be seen
Reaching deep into my veins
Changing all that I know
(All that I know)
And tonight I'll wear these crown of thorns
(For the last time I should ever)
Stay another night alone in misery
(SAVE MYSELF)
But I'll change this part I hate inside of me
(SAVE MYSELF)
Your faith and your beliefs
Just tricked in and up your sleeve
Takes more power to dissolve
A system
WITH A CAUSE
I will fight to destroy
And all you can do to avoid
The finger pointing at yourself
(Yourself)
And tonight I'll wear these crown of thorns
(For the last time I should ever)
Stay another night alone in misery
(SAVE MYSELF)
But I'll change this part I hate inside of me
(SAVE MYSELF)
So (enraged?)
Follow me
To escape
So tell me 'cause I don't understand
Of what's to become of me
'Cause lately I've seen
So many things that
Make me believe that it's over
Stay another night alone in misery
(SAVE MYSELF)
But I'll change this part I hate inside of me
(SAVE MYSELF)
Stay another night alone in misery
(SAVE MYSELF)
But I'll change this part I hate inside of me
(SAVE MYSELF)
I WILL SAVE MYSELF
I WILL SAVE MYSELF
I WILL SAVE MYSELF
I can't believe
that all we'd be
would waste away so miserably
and so damn many times
you hold me out to try
but the signs just passed me by
but i still can't just let this go
until your dreams are shattered
Tear down the walls that stand between us
and realize its been so long
and you found someone
I remember the time
i watched you cry
there's no love inside
there's no hope alive
but i still can't just let this go
until your dreams are shattered
Tear down the walls that stand between us
and realize its been so long
and you found someone
believe the truth will never leave us
it's in your eyes
what's done is done
and you found someone
but i still can't just let this go
until your dreams are shattered
shattered, shattered
Tear down the walls that stand between us
and realize its been so long
and you found someone
believe the truth will never leave us
it's in your eyes
what's done is done
and you found someone
shattered, shattered, shattered, shattered
and you found someone
shattered, shattered, shattered, shattered
Parading down the low-lit halls
The whole garden’s on fire
The shovel’s been buried
But I’m still in bed distracting cares I had
We crowd around an ambulance
Trying to catch a glimpse of a corpse
My overbite is killing me
It’s meant to show I hate, but my jaw refuses to close
It’s all about fighting off
These sections of life I don’t want to touch
And then you castrate my vocal chords
For my disembodied voice but I failed again, girl
We used a jumprope as a noose
And skip over it twice a day
Kick out the chair for me
It’s gymnastics like potted plants
And each leaf is soaked in ink
Reconciliation
It’s all become so clear
We’ll chainsmoke until we’re both blind
It’s all about fighting off
These sections of life I don’t want to touch
And then you calibrate a tape machine
Yes I understand you know a lot more than I do
Like a teacher you are older
You have asked me not to speak out loud
So for the third time just today they told me to stop
making noise
This house shakes if an eyelash falls
Just imagine what a heartbeat does
Somewhere along the way I lost the will to be kind
Half the truth fell down the staircase
The rest is still inside my suitcase
But the only time her hands touched mine was to staple
me to the bed
She thinks I’m sick like you do
I swear to god it’s just bronchitis
I had a dream last time I was shot to death
With part of my brain lying in the front seat
Help me find the latent content
Do I really want to lose my mind in a car?
And I can hear your words as you answer me
And reduce it all to a sarcastic call
You waited for me, I waited longer for the absence
But have you ever woken up inside a room
And tried to describe the gloom she cast
It covers the heating ducts and the window frames you
thought would keep her out
Sparrow on a broken branch still senses fear
Your Muppet blanket won’t protect you
“Morphine blues,” my doctor said
But I’ll be there
Beside you or maybe on top of you
It feels so great celebrating defeat
But for all it’s worth
Scattered across this country
Deceased but still here
Moving backwards out of fear
Recessions in the phonograph machine
And they blamed me
They blame it on my apathy
But I try so hard to sound concerned and fake this
awkwardness
Just to appease you, my love
Brutal honesty
Traits of suffering
Emulate the orphan
Whose task is to write
Descriptions of worlds he tried to fit into
Stencil these tears directly beneath my eyes
I want to be pacified
These pillows are anchors and it seems like you’re still
here
But we already went over that
A couple poets are singing as I try to sleep
Forcing couplets from their busted beaks
A coward’s dignity
A closing of closets put my mother through hell
Andreja and I don’t talk
We just sit there and watch the movies
Sometimes leaning against a board
Or leafing through the news
And if we ever spoke a word
I’m afraid of what would happen
As the rain is making her think
This probably wasn’t a good idea
Andreja and I don’t talk
She just whispers with her hands
Saying, “life has become a mess”
And suggesting we both get sick
Phonetics fuck us up
And writing never seemed sincere
As the rain is making her think
I was watching propaganda films
Hoping for direction at least
Because inspiration is a toy
I broke and I was only twelve
I lost my patience several times
Reading choleric reference in rhyme
Renderings of artful lies and they never caught on
I stuck my head inside of a trashcan
And pretend somehow I’m still there
Because everyone has ambitions
So good luck and take care of
And I can’t remember how to spell a name after it’s given
to me
Like everyone I place too much on a simple conversation
The difference is slight so I’d rather watch your lips
just shape the words instead of hearing them
I misplaced the thought
Go out burning wrists
I drove your trust away
Invest your persuasive care
In concern with whatever I’m hiding
Let’s wed while we’re both afraid
Blast discourse and sudden stops
No actor is betrayed
Get caught as the last one to leave
Your fortune disrupts my claim
That I’m Eastern European
And a kitchen is just for a meal
I’ll drag down your compromise
We’re chasing significance
Our mouths dry and devastate
No camera is betrayed
Proclaim the need to judge
And cross me off your lists
In this way avoid my faults
Present them as productive talks
As staring finds a focus
The truth is pushed aside
Now I just see with a flashlight
And sleep through the daylight
Hospice, they don’t feed me
And they preach of invented values
And ask me to tie around
Because emotion is invisible
Proclaim the past a curse
A hunger, not a thirst
Agendas with the alphabet
You sound it out as counterfeit
Imperatives at standstill
Wounds without the blood to spill
That’s an urge you’ll never have to kill
Hospice, they don’t feed me
And they preach of invented values
And ask me to tie around
Because emotion is invisible
We lacerate the eyes of a girl you despise
No longer have the willpower to ever disown
I’m caught in the moment to pay the price each morning
A c-section brought to the nurse’s arms
Your veins unwound and we just wrapped you in strings
She’ll change the locks if you ever want back inside
So then why do you always smile in pictures
It’s not like you, I like you bitter
The world is not the consequence of falling over like I
thought
So then please elaborate on how you disguise your hands
as simple tin cans
And you ran so fast across memorial plans
Rituals and castles, they remain only to help us remember
Who came first and who comes last
And whose sleeves we need to roll up
We lost all momentum to cotton-stuffed dolls and constant
irrational laws
These are wooden beams upon which I pile
A phrase like “the first step is denial”
Make room to work
You speak in sighs, you woman of walls
Or so you’ve been rightfully called
Make room to work
fuck it up
Working hard, production line
Construct your symbols to be replaced
And broadcast each one standing up
A winter storm since you were born
Inscribe your steps on the roads you walk
Scratching canyons you can’t cross
Transitions fail me, I’m backing down
Brackets break, please give me time
Deny it’s gone means I think we’ve won
The distance measured the width of a door
Laugh to show you understand
