drunk in my room watching kitchen nightmares thinking, "who the fuck am I and how the fuck did I get here?" / i don't know... so it goes / standing at the verge of concerned and panicked / make some fucking noise if you lost your magic to the drone of overflow / but we could start a bitchin' friendship! open up a different door! talk about the things we wanted we don't want anymore! / or i could fall apart forever / or fake it till we're something more / but i don't see the point in anything AND IT'S ALL FOR YOU I'LL DO WHAT YOU DO CAUSE YOU ASKED ME TO THE SEEDS I GREW FLOWERS WOULD HAVE BEEN BLUE BUT THEY NEVER BLOOMED IT'S A NOOSE OR EXCUSE AND I CAN'T CHOOSE

i'm trying to half stop biting all my nails off so i can pick apart the parts of me i think are too soft / maybe it's a long shot (i know, i know) / my reputation ain't hot (i know, i know) / and there's a dark cloud raining down on me now / everywhere i leave and go it follows like a bloodhound / hunting for a new frown (let go, let go) / i'll miss it when it's not around (i know, i know) / an immovable mass / tethered to a cold reality / you step on the gas and it's go from the get go / i fell for the frame / even though it got me nowhere / i'm still indebted to the glow that i passed through / i had a bad dream / you were in the backseat / speaking about the things inside my head that you just can't see / all this work is exhausting (i know, i know) / living on a shoestring (i know, i know) / i gotta calm down / try to get my thoughts out / but i got the feeling maybe i should shut my big mouth / i wanna buy a big house (i don't, i don't) / live alone and die out (i know, i know) / the illusion of fact / occasionally brings me comfort / the good and the bad that you know and you don't know / i'm not looking back / i'm gone forever / i won't recover / i wanna drown in a jet black ocean of hate / smiling / the kind of smile you smile when you're alone / i wanna move in the room to the light of moon / shining / i wanna swim in your black coffee / stir me up and then dissolve me

they cut me open / and they put wires in my brain / sent me on my way / the information / that they hoped to retrieve / didn't pause / didn't think / it was all up to me / but i never made it across the street / i didn't hear the car approaching / a brief interaction of tires and traction / now my body's exploding / i guess my boss lost a lot of his money / nobody's laughing but i think it's funny / i've still got 8 lives but you've just got 1 life / and yr living for nothing
