"If this is a party, where the fuck is the rum?"

why can't i just let this go?

"I needed to get that off my chest," she said, 

and there's so many thing I want to say to that

why can't I just let this go?

I'll just bottle up these heartaches

I've got all the empty bottles I need

vicodin and captain and all their good friends

these cigarettes are solace and the alcohol burns warm

like your touch should have in the breaking dawn

what would I have to say

for you to say it back?

(if I said I need you

would you say it back?)

Is there anything anything

I could say I could say

to make you want me back?

(If you said you needed me

it wouldn't bring me back)

I hate that I'm questioning

I hate what I've become

maybe that makes

for better positioning

when I finally jump

Aaron said it best

in the sound of separation

"I was lying when I said that I was looking up"

They've written all my best

lines, and I'm lost in the desperation

what would I have to say

for you to say it back?

(if I said I need you

would you say it back?)

Is there anything anything

I could say I could say

to make you want me back?

(If you said you needed me

it wouldn't bring me back)

is this what you want from me?

Is that how i want to be?

what on earth could I even say?

is this how you want to be?

what is it you want from me?

why on earth would you even say?

I hate that I'm questioning...

I hate what I've become

I'm hoping this makes better knots

for when I finally jump

what would I have to say

for you to say it back?

(if I said I need you

would you say it back?)

Is there anything anything

I could say I could say

to make you want me back?

(If you said you needed me

it wouldn't bring me back)

Reflections are more dangerous than knives

remember when your tastes were your own?

now you only taste like them

remember when your thoughts were your own?

now you only think of them

I'm waiting for one of you to show me

you're not like all the others

smoke your cigarettes

drink your alcohol

smile when they tell you what you like

I hated when you dismissed Cursive

you said print was more your style

and now the only thing you write in is cursive

and your ink of preference is lies

so write my pain in your red ink

and wait for it to seep into your nailbeds

you'll remember me always,

from the paint in your skin

to your sheets and your nightstand

I hated when you told me my eyes weren't as bright

and that indie just wasn't your style

now the only thing you do is scene yourself

and really, have you seen yourself?

I'm waiting for one of you to show me

that you're not like the others at all

smoke your cigarettes

drink your alcohol

smile at me when they tell you what you like

remember when your tastes were your own?

Now you only taste like them

remember when your thoughts were your own?

now you only think like them

6 Feet Under, But Oh So Charming

face to sound and ears to the ground
you've got your roots all buried so deep
you've got everyone running around
face to ground and ears to the sound
you're just buried too deep
to ever be anywhere but homebound

got this town in your ears
and not in your heart, you say
and you say it all but you always stay
you just want to be new
to be clean and free and serene
you just want to be new

face to the grind and ears to the sound
they've got their roots all buried so deep
and they've got you running around
face to the sound, ears to the ground
they're buried to deep in you
for you to ever leave anything but underground

side by side, side by sound
conversation runs everything aground
you wanted anything but your face to the sound
got all these tastes winding and wound
around and around and around and around
your roots are just buried too deep
twisting around your neck in your sleep
get them under control before they tie you down
but you won't, and you can't, and you'll always lie



down


got this town in your ears
and not in your heart, you say
and you say it all but you always stay
you just want to be new
to be clean and free and serene
you just want to be new


want your friends like your friends want to feel
lie to yourself and say every thing's a heal
when you find out, when you find out about
you'll be too grown in to leave this town

methodic and melodic and wonderful

She doesn't want to go to sleep

because she doesn't know what tomorrow keeps

and it's all such a blur

tomorrow's folds hold nothing for 

and it's all such a blur

because tomorrow means nothing...

"I just need some direction

I just need some attention

I just need some affection

I just need anything"

she doesn't want to wake from sleep

because she's not sure what tomorrow keeps

and it's all such a blur

she knows tomorrow means new

and it's all such a blur

because tomorrow holds something

that she doesn't wish to hold

"i can't take the infection

and i don't like these injections

all i've got are these inflections

i could use anything"

it'll be neutral

she says

like the acids and bases 

that form her thoughts

it'll be neutral

she says

like the notes and breaths

that form her words

"I just need some direction

I just need some attention

I just need some affection

I just need anything

"i can't take the infection

and i don't like these injections

all i've got are these inflections

i could use anything"

and it's all such a blur

to her to her to her

and it's all such a blur

to her to her to her

and it's all such a blur

quickie

I've got this problem, see

when she's not here with me,

i get this feeeeeeeeling.

it's like i've been lost at sea

and there's something, something missing from me

but as soon as she comes back you'll see

but oh no, she's gone for good this time

she's not heading back this way

oh, no, she's gone for good for good for good

and there's nothing that can make her stay

so I've got this problem, see

because no one's here with me

I keep getting this feeeeeeling

I know far gone I can be

and I know exactly what's missing, missing from me

because I know she's not coming back to me

because

oh, no, she's gone for good this time

she's not heading back this way

oh, no, she's gone for good for good for good

and there's nothing I can say

this guitar's got your voice

and these strings are your vocal chords

and every note I play

and every word I sing

just reminds remind reminds me

that's she's staying staying away

You know how far gone I can be

so I hope somehow this makes you see

that there's no more room for "sorrys"

I hope somehow this makes you see

that you're the only, only girl for me.
