we gave up our smokes to feel something new
yet here we are lungs black and blue and our teeth no longer white
we both gave up beer for just a week or two
an inch off our waists but my heart still races at the thought of getting drunk with you
I want to surmise you'll give up this guise
it's just you and I for a hundred more miles
you must be cold cuz I'm freezing but you won't turn on the light
you kiss the crutch of your own death, a thousand pounds crushing my chest
like battery acid where my skin tears, like sipping a straw full of compressed air
your unobtrusive heartbreak, your catatonic smile
the way you look into my eyes as if you were to say goodbye
you love her, you need her, yet you despise her
plus the pills by your bed rival both Merck and Pfizer
please don't go, I need a hand to hold and so do you if that's not too bold

Raincloud
04:09

The thunder sounds like
Dying giants falling
Their kneecaps calling
Let me down easy
Cause giants care about
More than you'd think
The lightning makes the sky
Look cracked in half
The stars all a mess
And the moon is bleeding
She's more likely to be
Asleep than me
I'm stuck in a rain cloud
Gray matter a little too gray
I wish I could fall right out
Between all these drops of rain
Passing cities and towns
But each one looks the same
Cause I'm stuck in a rain cloud
Between the ground and outer space
The snow feels like
She's got it our for me
32 degrees
And dropping quickly
But you won't come inside
Until I freeze
I can feel the wind
Under my eyelids
Just like you promised
When we were thirteen
You neglected to say
I can't stay but I'm so sorry

I Fell Down
04:07

If I fell from the top of a river
Would you watch until I hit the ground
Counting my fingers and teeth
Ounce for ounce and pound for pound
Water rising and forcing a shiver
Fills my mouth till I'm mute to make sound
Forearms bruised and blackened and weak
Where you squeezed and said I won't let you drown
If my lungs start failing to deliver
Oxygen that I breathe to my brain
Then I promise that I'll leave the room
So you don't see me going insane
And my fingers sit still in their quiver
While my eyes rest content and mundane
While your face watches worried and pale
Your lips whisper don't do this again
I'm skin deep in my own faded T-shirts
Too old to throw out due to pride
They remember me saying I love you
And me thinking it's alright to die
They remember my cold white affliction
Like snow you wear on your insides
They remember me thinking I hate this
That I'm not making it out alive
They remember my constant confliction
Thinking why might a god have to hide
They remember my constant resistance
Every time that I opened my eyes
They remember me pushing them outwards
Off the bed as I lied on my side
They remember me falling asleep
Being scared half to death back to life

You Squeezed My Hand
04:21

You squeezed my hand
And said it's alright
Just try to relax
You can stay here tonight
If you need me
I'll be right outside
So believe me
Don't worry I'm fine
Hearts break and hearts heal
That's just how it goes
You just can't replace
The feeling that grows
Inside when
You feel like you're broke
If you need me
I'll be out for a smoke
So tell me if I might be
Hurting someone
The nicotine in smoke
That starts coating my lungs
Yeah my habits
Die harder than some
Please don't worry
I'm having fun
I'll stay out all night
And sleep in all day
I'll dry up my youth
And sell it away
Because isn't that
Just what they say
Yeah the young folk
Are fucked up these days
I guess we're all lost
To the cold and the dark
With nothing to give
But our old body parts
So here's mine
In a box labeled junk
A man with no legs and no
Arms is good for someone
Whoever said you needed
To have both you're lungs
To be happy to sit in the sun
I'll waste today if you want
Let's waste today just for fun
So pick up your head
Put if back on your neck
You're my best friend
And you'll be till I'm dead
Because isn't that
Just what we said
I'm here if you're here
What's coming next
I'll be here if you'll be here
For the rest
