Hostility Still
it plagues me to no end
it’s making me ill
Well, I hope you taking care of yourself
We only want good for your health
That concerning look
that you give when I tell you
eternally shook
Well I hope you can see that’s a fact
Its the reason you can’t relax
Those walls of your lungs
Well they’re still wrapped in cellophane
Cause of your tongue
And the walls start to feel like
They’re all closing in
Oh Claustrophobia
Come right on in
Hold your breath in your skin
There’s no point in moving as
The light takes you in
It gets harder to feel so attached
When my body is just a body
And that is just that

You said he makes you feel cool
I wanna feel just like you do
How do I relate
Based on my mistakes
Taking up my peace of mind
All night
Oh it gets me every time
Those arms around you
Making movements
Feeling just the way I used to
Well I played myself trying to make sense of it all
And I played myself banging my head against the walls
What a way to feel abuse
I wish you could walk a week in my shoes
It’s a heady state
feeling all the weight
Never having it subside
Well alright
Alright alright alright
I wish I could hurt you
But I just can’t do the wicked things I want to
Cause I played myself trying to make sense of it all
And I played myself banging my head against the walls
Is that what you call love
It’s sent from god above
Is that what you call love
It’s just something ya can’t give up

most comfortable bed

I’ve got the most comfortable bed
But what’s the most confusing bed
If you’ve got no one to share it with
Well it’s still a queen size mattress where ya go to lay your head
Exploring all the empty spaces
That you would’ve wasted
Having somebody else there
Breathing all the humid air
Please don’t occupy my oxygen
Just go and sleep some other places
Well I’ve got the most comfortable house
Crooked teeth all in my mouth
That shift and vibrate when I shout
At the white walls you’ll never see that I always talked about
And I’ve got in my house
The cutest goddamn dog
He’s always stepping on my balls
And I just don’t care at all
Cause he’s the only one who’s knows
Exactly how to calm me down
When I’m laying in my bed thinking about
The fact that now you’re not around
Well I’ve got the most comfortable bed
forget everything I’ve said
It should have all stayed in my head
Cause what makes you feel less alone
Is quite alright with me
But I’m fine here in the dog hair
And the scattered skin debris
The clothes that are thrown everywhere on my unclean cotton sheets
for now I’ll have to just turn out the lights
Close my weary eyes and go to sleep

I heard your song
In the back of my restaurant
My boss said “man don’t you love this song
Makes ya really wanna sing along
But it really makes me wish I wasn’t so far gone
Into feeling nothing much at all
Downtrodden all I see is blue
When I’m looking down at dishes that I’ve found
On the tables covered in broken glass
all I’ve got is going back
You heard this song
Walking back to the parking lot
From the local corner bar
While you were wishing on a shooting star
For someone somewhere to take you away
But come on stay
You know you’ve got it
You’re only a day away
Come by my place
Lift me up
Right out of this rut
And flash those baby blues
There’s really no one quite like you
I want a romance that’s true
Can you help me? Oh tell me
I wrote this song
While I was ten shots deep trying to drive home
Andre begged me not to drive
I was so pissed off I made it home alive
I kept praying to god please let me die
But I found a new way out
I just need you to show me how
To live a life like yours
Strong commodore
I’m worth it
You’re worth it

How are you?
My names Dr.
And I’d like to just apologize
For that little bit of hot sauce
That I dropped upon your tongue
Making all your feelings awesome
I guess that is just a side of effect of
Being so goddamn great
And it takes you far away
From your lasting troubles
and your backs against the wall
And the waters drawn but
the ribbon is just another snake
And the bath tub is a lake that seals your fate
I Guess you’ll just have to wait
Now to cue you in
You’ve got everything you need
The sea floors getting deeper
But it’s still easy to breathe
And don’t try not to laugh
Cause it might get hard to see
One of your hands in front the other
That may just start to leave
And it takes you far away
From your lasting troubles
and your backs against the wall
And the waters drawn but
the ribbon is just another snake
And the bath tub is a lake that seals your fate
And the candles that keep holding down the flames
They’re never gonna burn the wick away
at least not today

You’re one of us
we’re the ones you’re meant to trust
it’s in your face now, baby
you’re the one I love to lust
Well I’m comforted
it’s burdening
I watch the words drop from your teeth
now it’s hard to breathe
these are the songs you’ll never sing
it’s in your head
most things better left unsaid
pump the brakes now, honey
close your eyes and go to bed

hesitate
02:20
|

|
You talk a lot about
The words you feel inside your head
They grow to be a parasitic
Useless waste of time
You still
Question why
All these issues feel alive
Hesitate to break the chain
The whole episodes a lie
How do you hold
The horrid things you can control
let em go
don’t feel so low

no other way
04:08

Shouting at no one
It’s on the tip of your broken tongue
Better not tell everyone
They’re constantly
Begrudgingly
Tracing back to fallen leaves
So fast
You’re not first or last
But you find some thing that thinks worth holding
Tell yourself your own, you’re golden
The day is lost
There’s still no other way
Shouting at no one
time gone by isn’t much fun
Still thinking about everyone
Constantly
In revery
The only peace is within sleep
Now I see
The brightness through the trees
And how It breathes
Into every living being
And if I don’t sleep
I won’t be so comforting
But you wanted this to come through
Oh you wanted this to love you

awake
04:10

|
There is someone in the door way
In a part of a house you’ve never seen and it’s still under construction
The air is cold
The wind is blowing
Nothing is as it should be
Hold on to youth
The only thing that’s true
Does it still frighten you?
It keeps me awake
There are footsteps you can hear approaching
I turn around
There is a light on
It flickers
While the distant breeze
Blows whistling trees
