Life of a Moth
03:00
|
|||
The only girl that I’ve ever loved
Couldn’t name my favorite songs
Now I sit all alone again
Trying to get along
Stoners, Christians, and Atheists
Everyone should just fuck off
I believe in “I do not know”
Live the life of a moth
I only sleep on occasion
And when I do it’s on the couch
Passed out cold from nightly abrasions
The war with thoughts and an empty mouth
I could survive off a carton of cigarettes
And a fucking ton of black coffee
I stay up all night writing how I want my life to be
In the morning it reads like a eulogy
I am a prick to the core
A shitty house with a broken door
The rats, in hordes, begin to flow in
I lie there still, let them bite my skin

By the Book
03:52

They say things get better if you wait
Well I say, things get better with some action
They say there’s always time to pray
Well I say, I’m not gonna sit around on my ass
Talking to myself and housing all this wishful thinking
Won’t do me any good
So I will go and I will leave this place just like I found it
Full of shit but by the book
You’ve got that bible verse tattooed across your chest
Well I’ve got my cigarettes
You sleep with your head in the clouds on the way to heaven
I sleep just fine in my bed
At times I cannot decide on which direction
But I’m happy in the search
And if my life will damn me to hell with all of my best friends
Then to hell, I guess I’ll go
So I’ll walk away and finally find a place where I can say
That I hate those fucking songs
Just because you think your scriptures came from up above
Doesn’t mean they can’t be wrong
Cause we are men and we are fucked up
And I know Matthew made mistakes
Who are you and who am I to try to tell somebody
How to live their fucking life
All I know is that I’ve seen the other side and I’m choosing
Oh I’m choosing to be free
All I know is that I've seen the other side and I’m choosing
Oh I’m choosing to be me

Everything I Sing
03:36
|

Everything that I sing
I have already sung before
So I sit and I think
Why do I sing anymore?
I’ll just show myself the door
Once I get up off this floor
And I say to hell with this self
That I’ve grown to know so dear
He’s a friend, he’s a fiend
He is something you don’t want to hear
So turn away and close both your ears
For he’s here to stay, so I fear
Such is life
And I sing, “Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That never sang for me
I once was lost, am still not found
Was blind and still can’t see
Anything”
Everything that you sing
Oh I’ve already heard before
So I’ll sit and I’ll think
Why do you sing anymore?
You should show yourself the door
Once you get up off this floor
And I’ll just show myself the door
Once I get up off this floor

Achin' Wild

I’m getting back to you
Are you getting back to me
These days just make us older
We just have to wait and see
I’m going to the river
Gonna scoop me up a drink
And try to cleanse my body
Of those things you said to me
I’m wanting to go home
But I’ll have to wait and see
I’m hiding away from you
Were you hiding away from me
Cause goddamn I can’t remember
The last time I heard you speak
You’re sipping on your coffee
While I’m puking up my drink
All these times I can’t remember
They really make me think
I’m wanting to go home
But I’ll have to wait and see
If home is still a place
And if anyone could ever want me
I’m waiting up for you
Were you waiting up for me
Cause my eyes are growing heavy
And I think I need some sleep
My back is aching’ wild
From the cushions on this couch
I’m looking for a savior
Something to knock me out
I’m wanting to go home
But I’ll have to wait and see
If home is still a place
And if it is, would it ever want me

Driver's Seat
01:11
|
|||
There are seven pairs of eyes
Taped to the wall beside my desk
And they never break their stare
No, all they do is glare
I could help them fly away
But I need them just to stay a little more
For a little more time
While I figure out my life
So we will throw up now
What we cannot keep down
We will skin our knees
Fighting for the driver’s seat
And that’s alright with me

Wrong
02:06
|

Do you think about dying?
Do you think about how cold heaven could be?
Do you think about the long lines?
Do you think about the love you might leave?
Do you wonder how we got here?
Do you frankly just not give a shit?
Do you think about Jesus?
Have you not come to terms with him yet?
I know I do things wrong
I know I do things wrong
Can I ask you please to stay here?
Can I ask you to stop waking me up?
Can I ask you just to love me?
Can I ask you to back the fuck up?
Come over, play a board game
And watch me as I get way too drunk
Count my friends out on my fingers
As the shower water loosens me up
I know I do things wrong
I know I do things wrong
I know I do things wrong
You know I do things wrong

Bad News
03:08
|
|

Feeling small, nothing at all
Don’t want to be your bad news
I’m a fake and you’re the bait
Oh, I could be your bad news
You’re in luck cause I’m a fuck
It makes it easier to choose
A coughing fit or to recommit
It’s all just an excuse
Because it is you
I’d tell the truth
Because it is you
I’d tell the truth
You say those words, they’re so absurd
But then I’m shedding my skin
Contemplate and miss the train
Oh, the places my mind has been
Throw it up, pour it in, let it happen again
Tell yourself it’s not your sin
The morning after all the laughter when you’re damning the sun
That’s when the weight sets in
Because it is you
I’d tell the truth
Because it is you
I would tell the truth
To you
Until my face went blue
I’d do it for you
Yes, I would be true
They say you only want something once it’s gone
Well I had it, but I gave it away
They say you only want something once it’s gone
Well I’ve had it, so I gave it away
I don’t know what you’re expecting of me
When I am screaming at the top of my lungs
I don’t know what you’re expecting of me
When I am screaming at the top of my lungs

Dead Guy
04:02
|
|||
I want to be tough
I want to have acid in my veins
So when I get cut
It’s not just me who feels the pain
I want to be cool
I want to be goddamn interesting
Not marked as the fool
Though you know that’s all I’ll be, you’ll see
I don’t want to hide
But lately, it seems like such good fun
To imagine I’ve died
And watch all the faces of everyone one
As they walk on by
Some didn’t notice, some did cry
And I guess that’s alright
For a fucking dead guy
I won’t come around
I swear I’m losing to my brain
With eight bottles down
I feel the tension start to fade
I’m anxious and fucked
There’s no telling moods or days
I’m stuck with shit luck
As the record just plays and plays and plays and plays

Without You
05:21

Break it up
There’s no point in cordial evenings if I do
Say so myself
Gotta find a way to toughen up my skin
And settle down
Get out of my house, thoughts, and live again
It’s funny how
Just a night can change your entire perspective
Moved out of town
Cause I didn’t want to feel so down and out
But it’s not your fault
Just imbalances that make me feel insane
And I’m not okay
But I’m okay cause it’s how it’s gonna be
Well fuck it all
I’ve far too many loves to be sharing
If you don’t want to hear me out
I don’t want to tell you how
Should your time align with mine
Maybe we’ll give it another try
I’ve gotta deal with feeling lonely all of the time
It’s not your fault it’s just the fabric of my mind
It’s fucking old feeling like every step is monumental
So simmer down, call a friend, play a record
Let yourself feel gentle
You don’t know where you are going
But it’s something you’ll get through
Hate to say that I can’t promise that you
Will not end up bruised
But I can say that I love you
Yeah, I love you, I really do
So cut the shit, turn it up, or we’ll dance on tables
Without you
