Ask her if she loved you If she thought you loved her too one hour at a time. Look me in the eyes and try to find a single piece of you. Look me in the eyes there's nothing here for you. And i'll burn down the paper If they try to print your name. I'll scratch me off your headstone with the things your family paid to say. Ask her if she cared If it hurt her to know She'd have to raise a cowards son alone. Look me in the eyes. And i'll burn down the paper If they try to print your name. I'll scratch me off your headstone with the things your family paid to say.

Insurance 03:15
you said you’re doing this for me and that ill understand someday but you’re the only reason i stayed. But when I tell you what I want you ask me for a product. You say "that'll never pay the bills". Is it all you care about? Have you lived with no regrets? Should I work myself in to a grave? Is that natural order to it? Because a seal on a piece of paper Won't make me a better man And I don't need your permission To finally be who I am I'll never learn the way that you do Or resign my life to paperwork And the piles left to sort through I'll never live the way that you do But that's okay. Chasing a broken dream is better than throwing it away. Because a seal on a piece of paper Won't make me a better man And I don't need your permission To finally be who I am You're so set in your ways Like the path you chose is the only one to take But you'll never make me Give a shit About what goes on my resume. You're so set in your ways. I'm just stuck in your way.

You allow for thoughts of permanence that tear A tissue paper wedding dress Fragile dreams I wish you wouldn't wear There's a story falling down the side of your face And with the most truthful pen Your thoughts cling to the pillow case Little white pills Mixed with the lithium blues A thought of you creeps in And they're swallowed in groups I feel the walls closing in I feel my grip loosening We swore our hearts would stay at war Just to ignore our trembling knees But as the years begin to turn You found there's not what you needed in me (But as the years begin to turn)
5.
I saw your picture after us And I'm glad you were smiling It makes me not feel so bad About the way I have been But it makes it so apparent That I'm alone in this bed It keeps me up at night When I wish my thoughts Would just give in Don't break me I have placed my heart of clay Into precious indecisive hands Mold it well For when it dries the cracks will show And it will crumble in your palms if you want it to I remember amber eyes You always called me a fossil Do you remember mine? Bet you forgot them long ago. I wish my thoughts would just give in.
6.
My eyes close on their own but sleep won't come to me and I wish I could have an effect on you like the one you have on me. We always think the ones we love are perfect but when we find their flaws we question if it's worth it. It's not that I love you so I'll leave you behind it's that I never had a choice or chance to show you my side I never had a chance So i'll hold on to what I know Hoping someday I'll forget this and you'll just let me go. She said "Don't let the rain keep your head down" but the only weight I feel Is with your hands around the way you linger and never let me heal. Counting miles with my steps I'll keep pacing my room for a call I'll never get- I'll never get you.

Some nights I sit in the corner til you put your hands on me I don't want to be a burden I know you'd rather fall asleep so carve it in my skin I swear I'll never leave you so You'll never be lonely again I made a home in your arms and carved it into me I'll never rid myself of you I made a home in your arms for everyone to see Some nights I lay in the corner til you place your hands on me I don't wanna be a nuisance I know you'd rather sit and think So I'll carve you in my skin and never leave you so you'll never be lonely again.

Belittle Me 03:11
It was 5 degrees for the second week and it’s finally warm enough to rain The lake ice cracks and craters with the falling march misplacement a self destructive act of passion (i don’t blame you but you let this happen) There’s a storm chasing me when i put my head down i’m doing everything for your attention like drunk driving in the snow i wish you’d beg for me to make it home. I watch flowers wilt on top of graves and understand why they carve our names in slate If I could just escape to her I'd want to know, Does she still keep her kings in the back row? i need something to look forward to i forget what it’s like it may sound pathetic but we all need it sometimes. You’re the scar I tried to hide with have a smile and new tattoos and even when i’m covered your true colors shine right through i hope these words can make you cry and make the years i’ve waited worth it the years i’ve held it all inside until this pain gave them a purpose. your frail wrists read lies and love you always had your hands behind your back

If i lost all I hold dear I would walk into the woods like we did today and see what’s on the other side we never walk to- why do we never walk through? it is the fear of leaving it all behind, or do the things we know become a blanket? (wake up, wake up) I would go swim in the riptide and try to make it back follow the coast like they suggest and drift far enough to say i’ve gone somewhere and let the water push for now for now we’re brought up on blocks; we build to make ourselves. wood grain, like the finish on your walls. snake skin in your bed, it’s strange the years you shed. twelve years from now who will you be? considering the shell you left here last night next to me. snake skin in your bed it’s strange the years you shed and how you thought the walls wouldn’t peel like we do.

Closure 03:38
Where’s my closure? cause I can’t see the end of waking up and screaming out to purge you from my head. where’s my closure? cause I can’t see the end of asking more from myself and coming up short again. When a tree falls in the woods it makes the sweetest sound that's why you're easy to write about when you're not around. I feel better hoping you'll never heard this- a skipping record spitting splintered feelings. Screaming at a dirty windshield never changes anything I take you in through the receiver and peel my fingers from the wheel. I didn't care and you yelled, and I pushed it farther down. with hearts that were once on display over time we have locked them away with a sign that says please keep your hands off the glass. am I sleeping away the years that should be my best? am I letting it slip through my hands?

I can't tell But tonight must feel like summer Because I feel like myself But your eyes say you'll be covered When the snow's all gone away And the skies have lost their gray Thin arms that slip into my veins You're the only drug I feel these days I have no choice it's easier to chase the pain Than lose myself to apathy I don't know why I say the things I do The things you're used to and they don't phase you They don't make you want me anymore Or keep you begging up at night like I still do. Throw a brick in the mirror so you don't have to look inside Pretend you've disappeared between a smile and half glazed eyes button up, chin up- six more months. then turn your back and walk away like you never looked back once Thin arms that slip into my veins You're the only drug I feel these days I have no choice it's easier to chase the pain Than lose myself to apathy Regardless of our past I'm glad you're moving up and on And I'm sorry I can't be the one To make your heart my home Our history just fucks with me Our history makes me believe in ghosts you left behind.
