Virginia's Falling Apart

You had phasers set to stun but you had to come undone, I wouldn’t stick around
You evoke humiliation, our history is ancient, would you settle down
She wants to go to Lolla but I think she’s more loony over everything
It’s not so existential, it’s more like self destructive but sure, okay, yeah it has a nice ring
I’m sure I could live without you, I wouldn’t wanna be so unapproachable
We all just want a feeling to feel like human beings is uncomfortable
When she steps into the shower her skin curves up and cowers like it’s scared of her
How could you live your life for someone so shitty
You'd surrender self-control to get out of the city
Aren’t you the one who had my heart last in your hands
Aren’t you the one who’s listening
Aren’t you the one who stabbed that knife into my back
I don’t doubt it
So we’re off, we’re on a roll
And your holidays are over, all you get is coal
You had me then you lost me, you’re like this far too often will you ever fold
you recoil when we’re closer you’re so much cooler sober what’s your alibi
You act so buddy buddy, it’s comical, it’s funny how you try
But fuck you’re dying on the vine
If you’re playing a role then you got the part
'Cause you’re nowhere near who you think you are
And you’ll come to terms when you’re too far gone
You will die here, one final remark, Virginia’s falling apart

I don’t want
I don’t want
I don’t want therapy
Can you tell
Can you tell
Something’s even wrong with me?
I’ll throw my inhibitions at the wall
It’s the little things that make you feel so small
I don’t want
I don’t want
I don’t want therapy
She don’t want
She don’t want
Anything to do with me
I’ll throw my stupid problems to the ground
It’s those little things that break without a sound
Can you cave in this once
I need someone to last forever
Can you kick in this once
I need something I can’t forget
I’ve been skimming through self-help books to tell me how to live my life
And I’ve been searching through feelings that seem safe to hide behind
I’ve been told to pick my battles between pleasure versus pain
And for a state known for its desert, all I ever see is rain
Can you cave in this once
I need someone to last forever
Can you kick in this once
I need something I can’t forget
My final words I say before I die
Will be I told you so, caught living this whole lie
And even though i tried to feel alive
I ran my course and you’re quick to call yourself mine
I don’t want
I don’t want
I don’t want therapy
But I can tell
I can tell there’s something going wrong with me
No ouija boards to reassure me I'd choose life over death
But I grew more comfortable with dying after mom took her last breath
Can you cave in this once
I need someone to last forever
Can you kick in this once
I need something I can’t forget
I can’t give up on myself
Is my comeuppance in the distance
Can you just say this once
I was someone you won’t forget

You always said I would feel better when I’m older
Well I’m older now, I’m older now
And I still don’t feel a thing
And when we die we’ll die like brothers, die like soldiers
Stallions fly high and take us to the sky
You wanna race me to the gates?
When one comes in another comes out
There’s nothing new here
Was there more to talk about?
Well I found a space where I wanted to retreat
You said you’d always catch me if I fall
So where are you now, where are you now?
I found faith in struggling
You said that we would always be different
Who said that we would always stay different
One light may never die
But your old gods are coming down tonight
I could feel you in the air and you were colder
Than I ever knew the cold could get
I couldn’t speak without stuttering
I couldn’t say I wasn’t woozy on the comedown
You left me broken, torn, and other metaphors
You cracked your halo on the firm concrete
When one comes in another comes out
There’s nothing new here
What's there left to talk about?
Well I found a place where I hope that we could meet

It’s your American Dream
That falls apart at the seams
You’re talking so loud I can barely speak
You didn’t hear it from me
They say you reap what you sow
Tell me what’s got you so low
You always want more than you plan to keep
Baby, it’s not what you need
So tell me now how is this saving face
These torches stand high, see you at the stake
So take the blame how do you like the taste
Of how it feels, you’d know if you were ever really there at all
Why don’t you give it a rest
You’ve got enough to address
‘Cause when you lay down on your weary head
You fall asleep with a mess
And you can bury the weight
Under the dirt in a grave
But just ‘cause you’re luck’s riding high today
Don’t mean it’s going to stay
So tell me now how is this saving face
These torches stand high, see you at the stake
so take the blame how do you like the taste
Of how it feels, you’d know if you were ever really there
Hold tight on this pleasure cruise
Now that you’re found out there’s a lot to lose
What will you do now that we know the truth
It’s all on you
And what a new world you’ve made
There’s a rope around your neck
Dragging you out to sea
To the waves
You’re acting so true to form
Shackles hug at your legs
Hope the current keeps you warm
There’s just no money in it

Jaws of Life

You were wrong
I thought about this all along
Our house is on fire, hurry out
Lift your feet up off the ground
And I see you break down you’re on your own
You crack those shattered bones
And I’d come to your aid if you say okay
I’d cover your tracks and I’d take all the blame
And all your aimless thoughts can’t keep you from the answers
And all the drugs you take can’t save you from the pain
No more Saturday nights
No coming back home, no sweet surprise
You hate what i say but you know that I’m right
At the end of the line
You scoff in the arms of the great unknown
‘Til opens it’s claws and you’re caught in its hold
you can’t wish it away when you’re caught in its hold
You were right, I can’t be jaded all the time
When I look at this place there’s a bitter taste
Sour smell from my nose to the back of my throat
You dazzle in your favorite dress
You’re on a date with death
But it’s fine to crash land if you do what you can
It’s a crime if you don’t get up again
The doctors upped the dosage on your medication
You asked if this was it I changed the conversation
Reality sunk in and now I have your answer
I was high off the denial but really
Yes it is
No more Saturday nights
No coming back home, no sweet surprise
You hate what i say but you know that I’m right
At the end of the line
You scoff in the arms of the great unknown
You can’t wish it away when you’re caught in its hold

Crooked head, are you out of your damn mind
Abolish all our hopes, evaporate our dreams
You wear invincible like someone so divine
Save your prayers in rations and you’ll get by
Apologies, it’s not how it’s supposed to be
A warm embrace, a ticket to the white light
Is it too much to say
There’s no room for us in your heart
There’s no room for us in your heart
There’s no room for us in your heart
There’s no room for us in your heart
Burn it clean until there’s nothing left
Put the ashes on the mantle instead
It’s quiet when I say your name
What once was and what it all became
I’ll say the words I would never say
I’ll say the words I could never say
All sentiments I could never form in line
But now there’s no room for us in your heart
There’s no room for us in your heart
There’s no room for us in your heart
There’s no room for us in your heart
There’s no room for us in your heart
There’s no room for us in your heart
There’s no room for us in your heart
There’s no room for us in your heart
You’ve got something left in your place
When you fall asleep tonight
I’ll catch you when we reunite
You’ve got something left your place
When you fall asleep tonight
I’ll see you on the other side
I’ll say the words I would never say
I’ll say the words I could never say
All sentiments I could never form in line
There’s no room for us in your heart
There’s no room for us in your heart
There’s no room for us in your heart
There’s no room for us in your heart
There’s no room for us in your heart
There’s no room for us in your heart
There’s no room for us in your heart
There’s no room for us in your heart

Sneaky little night owl
I’ve been holding out for you
We’ve overused good graces
I don’t feel the same
Our minds could change just like the seasons
We should have moved to different states
Though I’m sure we have our reasons
Forcing us to stay
Is this what you wanted when you made your promise count
‘Cause it’s all I’ve got now that I’m here and you’re not around
Wrap your arms around me
Bring me back to that point when I could say it meant everything
But with your arms around me now I say it means nothing
Slip into your nightgown
It’s been dragging you down but it doesn’t make much sense anymore
You stripped yourself of innocence
And made it look like an accident
Have you had enough
The future has its plans for us
But when I try to be honest with myself
I get anxious and overwhelmed
‘Cause we’re the same kids as we were then
Now we’re them now
Would it all work out anyway
Destiny wouldn’t know
We wouldn’t know
Would it all work out

New Devil

When she’s on my skin, I don’t expect to look so bad
I’m science fiction, I’m Galahad
I’ll carve my name into your arm
Brand you like cattle, father's son
No architect can build you up the way that I have done
And when I die lay me to rest
A sheet of nails push on my chest
Cursed forever dancing with the dead
Hide and seek in someone else’s head
Say what you want
You write bad checks
Pay in-between your legs
I’ll tell you a secret I just can’t keep
You are the person I want to be
I was convinced I was someone great
I was sold on someone better
But I’m the devil and you’re a sinner
I eat girls like you for dinner
Our plastic love, it folds and bends
But won’t feel the same when it mends
If you do wrong you must repent
Or you won’t see the day again
And you were once so put together
Now you’re as fragile as a feather
Idle hands cause trouble
And when the damage is done, i’ll leave you picking up the rubble
But I can hear you try to shimmy out the window
Take all you have and you’ll be screaming in your pillow
Heaven pays a high price for beauty and you’re not getting in for free
And everything I touch turns to gold
And every word I say is written in stone
I’m the voice without a tone that follows you while you’re alone
You better hold onto what you got
‘Cause you’re never gonna get it again
I’m hollowed out, you can’t shut me up
You think you’re ever really gonna ascend
You spend your days looking for what you misplace
But you’re always gonna be replaceable
I’ll spread to your body, I won’t ever let you sleep
There’s no emotion when your standing next to me
But you’re on my string, it’s your new life
Once you open up your eyes

It took a while to feel alive
You’ve had your whole life to feel alright
We formed a bond, we’re family
We made a tribe but I want to leave
Rock and roll’s on life support
While I say I mean well, I mean I sell myself short
Tiptoe all over me, see
How could I do this to myself
How could I do this to myself
For you out of anyone else
For you out of anyone else
Give up and forget it
Sometimes this means much more to me
Than it was ever meant to be
You’ve tried too long to make this work
It’s over now, you’ve had your turn
You can’t fall back on what you’ve earned
And you can plan it out well but you’ll only get hurt
I’ll dot my I’s I’ll cross my T’s
I’ll get there eventually
Those words looked nice when I wrote them down
But they’re nothing now that they’re all worn out
What do you do when you bit off more than you can chew
I made a mess
I can’t clean up
I look like shit
and I’ve had enough
And I feel so fucked
There’s no love from the art kids coming to you
Where’s your love for the art scene
A stage dive off the edge of the grand canyon
Couldn’t distract from the thoughts that I’ve been having
Friday night, Tempe art scene, you didn’t do a thing for me
I made a mess
I can’t clean up
I look like shit
And I’ve had enough
I made a mess
I can’t clean up
I look like shit
And I feel so fucked
There’s no love from the art kids coming to you
You’ve got no love for the scene, what will you do
Give up and forget it

Sleepwalk My Years Away
05:47

I left an outline in your place
As a reminder you still exist
Guess you don’t know what you have until it's gone
Here’s the music you've been writing all along
I’m afraid that I miss you
I’m afraid I can’t say it to your face
I’d freak out and run away
To everything that keeps me safe
Brittiny I’m sorry but you shouldn’t rely on me
‘Cause I was just a stranger who was able to make you feel something
Do you really wanna let go
Do you really want those pictures off the frames
Can we forget it ever happened
Whisk it away to the past like a poor mistake
I heard you shuffling out into the dark
We speak in whispers and act like little stars
And when you’re smoking I feel like I should start
But I gotta say it wouldn’t hurt just to save this sinking ship
I get more love from the east coast
than I do from my own backyard
I’m worth more than you have to give
So why you still tearin’ me apart
I live in a town that doesn’t get any action
You live in a city that doesn’t have any fun
But when you’re off work maybe we can go dancing
I can’t dance but who’s to say I wouldn’t try
And mom if you’re somewhere grand, I hope to see you there
‘Cuz sometimes it seems like I can’t sit still anywhere
Do you really wanna let go
Do you really want those pictures off the frames
Can we forget it ever happened
Whisk it away to the past like a poor mistake
I heard you shuffling out into the dark
We speak in whispers and act like little stars
And when you’re smoking I feel like I should start
But I gotta say it wouldn’t hurt just to save this sinking ship
Sleepwalking, I'll sleepwalk my years away
So could you tell me what I oughta believe
Sleepwalking, I'll sleepwalk my years away
You knock me over when I'm back on my feet
Do you really wanna let go
Do you really want those pictures off the frames
Can we forget it ever happened
Whisk it away to the past like a poor mistake
I heard you shuffling out into the dark
We speak in whispers but act like real big stars
And when you’re smoking it’s not too late to start
But I gotta say it wouldn’t hurt just to
Do you really wanna let go
Do you really want those pictures off the frames
Can we forget it ever happened
Whisk it away to the past like a poor mistake
I heard you shuffling out into the dark
We speak in whispers but act like real big stars
And when you’re smoking it’s not too late to start
But I gotta say it wouldn’t hurt to abandon this sinking ship
