put your head in freezing water
it was enough to make you wonder where you are
touched your hair and then you faltered
it was enough to make me think I'd lost control
took the frame off of the altar
I swear that I really thought I felt that cold before
can't believe the way they saw her
I was too young to think that I should say a word

Quiver

spit on yourself
every time the sun hits the snow
do you still get a rush from knowing you're always right?
every time the six hits the four
do your feet touch the floor and wonder if I'm alright?
even when you're facedown on the floor
do you still beg for more?
one more time
just one more go
you give her and quiver so naive
now I'm just a ghost inside of your home
you sleep in and stay awake for weeks
all the burnt past
as offerings go
but you didn't seem convinced
even when you falter
even when the sun ends the snow
will you still get a rush from knowing you're always right?
even when the six hits the four
does your hand touch the door and you can't see past it all
even when you're facedown on the floor
crooked smile for more

At Random

I've been stroking all your lies
but not anymore
been taking it in stride
you've been down but I've been worse
I know it sounds like I'm joking
does it seem like me at all?
it's not the same as when you call
it's not so funny when you're the one who loses yourself
you'll go on
back and forth
almost completely at random
separated my whole life
back to you I drew a line
but you were barely there
stab me in the back
but we still sleep in the same bed
so go run your mouth again

Zodiac Sigh
04:03

I shouldn’t be here
but I’m looking for a sign
a place to run and hide
I shouldn’t be here when I hear the engine stall
so what were you waiting for?
the perfect chance to visit me unconscious?
so what were you waiting for?
you’ll fail the test either way
your star in the sky
it doesn’t like to be denied
think you heard me sigh
it never comes out quite right
I should’ve called you
but I’m looking for the line
the one that says I’m fine
you should’ve been there
you would’ve laughed at every time we fell back down
what were you waiting for?
you’ll settle for somebody someday
your star in the sky
I think it’s just your way to say
somehow everything will be just fine
but it never comes out quite right

you don’t belong there
it’s getting harder to tell
you’re getting older too
it’s getting harder to see you
all of their flowers on your bed
all of their curses at your feet
it’s almost like you knew
did you pretend?
I’m not like your friends
it's not the way they tear you down or pass you around
they got in your head and made you deaf to that sound
but it pounds and pounds
don’t you forget that you knew you’d be out of here by now
don’t you just leave her there
her knees are bruised
she’s puking her guts out
you like to pretend
so you ask permission now just to get out around
I hope it’s the end
cause I don’t like to see you down on the ground
did they just leave you there to make themselves feel better?

Plaster Saint
03:00
|

|
empty words burn out just disengage
empty mouths backstabbing self-effaced
held you down you watch your precious plaster saint
overthought, gave up, and sowed the seeds of hate
do you know the taste of wasted years?
hands worn down to the bone won’t dry your tears
to the bone
measured out against that worn out hall
blame yourself half-mask then don’t care at all
dreamt of you gave way familiar apathy
in our failing there's a point for misery

Star Quarterback
04:24

when Archie takes the field it’s always a joke
when Moose goes for the throw he always chokes
Midge was his shining girl, but he cared for you
when he finds out what went on, he’ll rip him in two
star quarterback
he’s not the smartest guy around
but he seems better built to live a life in this town
how did you end up so completely out of luck?
this was supposed to be inside my grip
you twirl the phone cord now and bite your lip
when plans don’t measure up his blood gets hot
if he can’t screw his head on, let’s take it off
turn the tables on you
and do the things you said you’d do
he held you down
collar twists in clenched fist
wait for the blows
it’s on you now
how do you measure your life up
is it by the yards?

make way, your soul is now mobile
you’re a walking advertisement for
and who breaks you owns you
do you remember tracing shadows with your hand on my floor?
it takes over
you should be glad there’s nothing left to say
take pride in the polar opposite of what you thought you were
make way, your soul is now mobile
you’ll get sore in time to know what I'm worth
Make space to hold onto your ego
telling secrets
trading pleasure
what for?

here’s an unspeakable one
how do you tear the whole living room apart
and just go on and on
just walk away
like the way they left a shape
you can't relate
always by yourself
but when they're around you're down
guess you broke your back to show me that’s that
it's not like you
here's an undeniable one
you burned a hundred few hours just to start
and waste your art
people say that they were always scared
I don't disagree
but you'll hear me
here's an unspeakable one
how do you tear the whole living room apart
and just go on and on
just walk away
like the way they said
it goes on and on
always by yourself
but when they're around you're down
guess you broke your back to tell me that’s that
it's not like you

wear your crown upon my head
wear your noose around my neck
is this just?
I think it's a question that don't need an answer
but you do
I only asked you to change once in a while
that fell from your ceiling
inverted feelings that cling to you
the only thing that I will ever ask of you
just don't pretend
I think it's a question that don't deserve an answer
but I do
forgotten feelings that cling to your ceiling
why are you always hanging around?
thought that you would get tired by now
is this just something they don't have
and they never will?
