Yesterday's Paper

My room is full of old newspapers
And books I'm told that I should read
But I'll lay in bed, pretend to be dead
But give up instead and watch TV
Now I;'m late for work so I'll take the toll road
To shave five minutes off my ride
Give some shit excuse like "I lost my glasses"
Man I'm fucking tired of having to lie
Because I never used to, I always spoke true
And stood my ground when I knew I was right
Now I cower and creep from street to street
Scuffing my shoes and dragging my feet
Get off the couch and get some rest
Take a shower, go to bed
Then go to work, repay your debts
It'll all be over once you're dead

Walk Me Home
03:39
|

Low-hanging clouds
Eyes to the ground
Picking at the skin on your fingertips
Another bad habit you get when I'm around
Empty PBR case
Old VHS tapes
Movies from when I was young
And didn't have to worry about my mental state
So walk me home I don't want to be alone
I'll tell you I've had too much to drink
That I can't stand on my two feet
But if you're truly listening
You'll hear the tremble in my speech
I am the shit under your shoe
I am the web that you walked through
I am the sweat dripped in your eye
I am the long hard goodbye
So walk me home
I don't want to be alone

We meet again 2am, another rerun of Roseanne
It reminds me of when I was young and my family had a solid plan
Now I'm watching the bags grow under my eyes
And I think that
I am beginning to like
The way the grey suits my sunken frame
But I'm gaining weight and losing speed
Can't blame it on something like nicotine
Because the chemicals can't cause it all
And I tell myself that all I need is
My car and guitar but I've got broken strings
And a tank on "E"
Ten dollars of gasoline won't get me
Where I need to be
Drunk off a lack of sleep and an overdose of caffeine
Missing the feel of sheets barely placed between two bare bodies
My heartburn and bad knees won't excuse the life I lead
Drunk off a lack of sleep and an overdose of caffeine
Missing the feel of sheets barely placed between two bare bodies
Drunk off a lack of sleep and half a bottle of whiskey
Missing the feel of sheets between

Anything/Everything

One pillow, two heads
Worlds apart in the same bed
Blankets strewn across the cold dirty room
Cover up the living dead
What's the point in anything when I've lost my everything?

Grandfather's Watch
02:28
|

I lost my grandfather's watch at the end of last year
Wore it every day, I held it so dear
I swear it's at your house and you're holding out
But keep it because I don't want you ever coming around
You have to lose somethings to gain what you need
And I'd lose you every day with no guarantee
Of having anything returned back to me
Because everything you touch turns to black coal
My body, my mind, my heart, and my soul
I lost my grandfather's watch at the end of last year
And I'd lose it again if you'd disappear
I loved my grandfather's watch, I held it so dear
But I'd lose it again if you'd disappear
Somehow I have myself only to blame
Trained to associate guilt with my pain
But we both need to learn our place

See You Space Cowboy...

If You could come back for just one day
I'd have so many things that I would need to say
I'd start by asking if heaven was a real place
Or something fake made up to get me through the day
If you could come back for just one hour
We'd sit and talk about how different things now are
And I would fit in one million apologoes
And try not to mention how your ghost still haunts me
If you could come back for just a minute or two
I'd do anything, anything to get through to you
And try to find out if you're okay with
How I fucked up everything in the end

What's your favorite liquor?
Is it cheaper in bulk?
We'll buy as many bottles as we need to talk
I know it's been a while and if you let me I'll explain
I've got a long list of how we're both to blame
Well first things first it's been a hell of a year
I've lost more than I've gained and mostly gained fear
I'm scared of what I've done
I'm scared of what I'll do
I'm scared of everything especially you
And that leads me to my second thing I need to talk about
You were a monster and a devil
But I highly doubt
That you're only to blame for how you behaved
Society has a horrible way
Of making you believe you owe everything
To towering men screaming obscenities
Like "Baby can't you see?
I'm being flattering
I bet you'd be nicer lying next to me"
And they talk with their fist and lie through their teeth
I wish you could have known how much you meant to me
But I had to leave for my sanity
I wish you could have known how much you meant to me
But I talk with my fists and lie through my teeth
I wish you could have known how much you meant to me
But I had to leave for my sanity
I wish you could have known how much you meant to me
What's your favorite liquor?
Is it cheaper in bulk?
We'll buy as many bottles as we need to talk
Openly, please speak freely
Get whats left off our chest finally
Because I talk with my fists and lie through my teeth
I wish you could have known how much you meant to me
But I had to leave for my sanity
I wish you could have known how much you meant to me

Sidewalk

Sometimes when I drive home from work
I find myself wishing that my car would swerve
Into the deep, deep ditch on the side of the road
To see if anyone noticed that I didn't make it home
And it's thoughts like these that make me think,
"Why do I live my life so lazily?"
I'm gaining weight and losing speed
And blaming it on alcohol and TV
But who's consuming these things?
Who's letting these things devour me
It's me, it's myself
It's all my fault, all my fault
But it doesn't have to be
One day I was walking
My head the lowest of lows
Only watching the way my shoes kiss the road
As a car sped by, almost taking my life
And there was not a single speck of remorse to find
But I've learned to keep on the side of the street
Where the sunshine and the sidewalk meet
Though my head still hangs down
Eyes to the ground
Whether the weather calls for clear skies or clouds
But I refuse to reminisce
I refuse to miss
The good ol' days will remain tomorrow and today

A mismatched anatomy
Nothing feels right for me
I could take a knife across dotted lines
But would that solve anything?
Because everything would still make me anxious
Everything would still make me jealous
Everything would still make me nervous
There's bugs in my bed
Give me another drink to kill the
Thoughts in my head
And put me to sleep
I just want to sleep, so give me another drink
Please put me to sleep, because I don't want to think
Because everything would still make me anxious
Everything would still make me jealous
Everything would still make me nervous
Now all this unwanted flesh is growing numb
Born a mistake and proving it since '91
So I'll spend the rest of this semester
Writing songs about feeling lost
Falling asleep with the TV on
Waking up at 4am
To reruns repeating since I was a kid
Where the dialogues have stayed the same
But the meaning has completely changed
It's funny how life works that way
