can I have just a second of your time?
It got real bad
I was praying for an end to the pain inside of my head
I don't know where it went wrong
but I recall lying face down on the floor, crying out my eyes to the lord
my mother tried to bring me back to life
and it worked
she said, "kid, when you have no hope, well that is what I have to give"
and these sparse chords are all that I have
and a simple melody transforms my chaos into love
when you're 30 years old, moving home doesn't feel like a win
but that's a lie
cuz the people who care are the angels that'll always be there
and I'm thankful for them
cuz lonliness tried to do me in
now the doctors tell me that I've got a chance
I hope they're right
and I'll swallow all of their pills if it keeps me out of this hell
growin up as a loser never that right
just a kid who feels sad
but I'm growin everyday
learning how to take care of myself

Angel Boy

could I crave you less?
the tender broken touches from your golden fingertips
I'll bite the hook with blistered lips
does your pale skin break?
does your blood through those jagged heaven veins?
I can feel your love spill on my face
you're in my sheets
the scent of your sweat brings the ceiling crashing down
drag me out of this burning house
I'll build your shrine
I'll pray to the sky that you're always by my side
death could never break this spell
angel boy,
I'm swimming in your loving and I wonder will I drown?
my flesh aches for yours
you're not my first
but I feel like a teenage virgin crying out,
"angel boy, please kiss me now!"
oh my god
your body's dripping beauty and your love is all around
oh my god I'm falling down

Houses

packed up my life again
I drove it down the road
can't stay rooted anywhere
when it's comfortable, I'm gone
when you find that someone
who holds your hand like mine
I'll search the roads and the rows of houses
for the home that held our lives
time is moving like a tidal wave
I wonder if you'll ever write
never meant to hurt my friend
I guess that's the pain of life
breath fades on the windows of houses
everything has an end
we don't speak but I feel you stirring
somewhere over there
moving on doesn't feel so easy
now that you're not here
moving on doesn't feel so easy
it feels like hell

White Lines

here comes my guy, he's got all the supplies
here comes the man, I've got those shaky hands
it's always a thrill
it fits my head like a crown
it soothes my mind when I'm feeling real down
some of us still breathe white powder lines
crave the way they feel
pray for something real
white powder lines
I don't get upset when I'm feeling my best
stay up all night putting rails on a desk
love in my veins, goodbye to all of the pain
the key to euphoria is going insane
see no evil
see no damage
it's not a problem at all
credit cards and bathroom stalls
will save my soul
just like an overdose
dust on the counter
and blood in my nose
chemicals dripping down the back of my throat
it's not on the blackboard
and it's not on the road
when it touches my lips,
you know I give him a call
(descend into chaos)

By The Sea

sitting here thinking
sitting here thinking about drinking my life away
I'm tired of running
I'm tired of running from my feelings
and they're calling out for something
a little something that'll numb me
a little something
life is fleeting
it's a fleeting feeling that never seems to leave me
can't stop my drinking
won't stop my drinking
I got the fever
and it's calling
let me fly with the sparrows
I'm so high
I can't see
all my worries
will be obsolved
if you let me die
by the sea
all my hurting
will dissolve
if you let me
die
by the sea

Lost Yourself
04:20

heart racing
stomach aching
palms sweating
you kissed the demons
mouth open,
nose bleeding
this feeling will never leave you
you're speeding down the freeway
screaming for your freedom
where have you gone now?
you went and lost yourself somehow
checkin out with the blinds pulled down
running from your love and running from yourself
cut from a good cloth
built on a solid ground
loved from day one
stuck in a circle
stuck in a cycle
stuck inside yourself
trapped in a prison
trapped and convicted
trapped like an animal
when you don't achieve it
you just fucking leave it
you let it un-weave itself
you watch as it kills you
you smile and it thrills you
you wait for the hurricane swell
you crave your destruction
and your subtraction from the ones who need you around
but please just believe me
life don't get easy
but it's nice to have you around
and we're waiting
why can't you see us?
the drugs don't relieve it
the hurt is compounding
cuz you been running
you been running from those feelings inside
but when you turn around
when you turn around and you look them in the eyes
they don't have the power
they don't have the power to rip apart your life
you've got the power
you've got the power inside yourself
