Eventually
03:06
|

|
as my whole world comes down around me
show me no pity as i ease
into a suicidal laughter
with the setting sun, my father's gun is whispering
and as my family dies from cancer
i am teary-eyed and weak
i'm not weary of disasters
the end is numb, for everyone, eventually
and as my friendships are decaying
and we're all waking from the dream
this dying day just ain't worth saving
so i hide away, in my poison brain, trying to sleep

Loss Memory
01:47
|
|||
|
how do i wake up?
how do i get free?
tethered to an anchor of loss memory
dreaming so long
dreaming so lonely
i get a phone call, no one's on the line
i take in their silence
and say my goodbyes
dreaming so long
dreaming so lonely

i woke up so tired
drag me through the light
i've been alone for so long
hello sad world
take me in, let me know
i've been alone for so long
i'm through begging off
an eternity of loss
i've been alone for so long
so long

Tether
03:28
|

i'm the fucked up kid in school
dead in the eyes of the rules
i got sent home for throwing up
my friends think being sick is cool
and my dad beat up my mom
because she's an alcoholic
but he's an alcoholic too
through the looking glass of abuse
i want to sleep next to you
after school before my mom calls
to see when i'm coming home
i can finally see where the tether ends
mortally coiled around nothingness
i'm the fucked up kid in school
maybe i'll join the army
no one will ever know me truly
my rage has silenced a cry for help
my mom's dealer put a gun to my head
for a laugh, for his friends
and in that moment i knew i could kill
my mother's prison is herself
i want to sleep next to you
after school before my mom calls
to see when i'm coming home
i can finally see where the tether ends
mortally coiled around nothingness

Thunder
02:38
|
|||
|
can you face me?
i already know the answer
if it's over, let's go our separate ways
when the thunder calls to me then i'll come over
i am waiting
with an open mind
i am drawn to the mirror in a dull revulsion
i forgive you
but i do not know why

ambrosia in the bitter world
i cling to your light to keep from sinking down
the clouds rip open and the rain reaches out
to the people who just want to drown
and now my heart aches but it keeps pounding
to crush my little world and leave me dreaming
in endless silence, only of you
ambrosia
i was once a little girl, i was twisted into what i am now
my heart is open but i don't know how to reach out and
be a person so i up and drown
and now my heart aches but it keeps pounding
to crush my little world and leave me dreaming
in endless silence, only of you
ambrosia

Burden
03:04
|
|||
|
when you get off work
come by my house, and lay your burden down
may the world the keep spinning
until it spirals out
lay your burden down
my mom's gone to california
they got a treatment center there
my mom had a fucked up childhood
that's the burden that we both bear
lay your burden down
i quit drinking,
but i still smoke, lay your burden down
carried down a highway with
nowhere else to go
lay your burden down
my mom's gone to california
they got a treatment center there
my mom had a fucked up childhood
that's the burden that we both bear
lay your burden down

Running Wide Open
02:43
|

|
traffic lights turning blue
everyone that we burn through
only me and you, queen of booze
ain't no furniture in our house
no screaming and fighting anymore
the living room turns blue
we're both sleeping on the floor
i want to be an engine
running wide open
running wide open until i can't run no more
living with one eye closed and
one eye on the cage door
everyday is the day that i'll die
and be afraid no more
when dad found out about
where we were hiding out
he came down like a sea of rage, crashing onto the shore
i want to be an engine
running wide open
running wide open until i can't run no more
i let the years go by, i let no one know what's inside
my broken heart keeps a beat just fine
i don't want to die no more
i see my future and my past
all at once in a lightning flash
all you can do is laugh until you just can't no more
i want to be an engine
running wide open
running wide open until i can't run no more
i want to be an engine
running wide open
running wide open until i can't run no more

Window
02:41
|
|||
|
closing my eyes when i drive
back in my hometown, past every bar i've been thrown out
i can't make it to class
so i'm drunk in my car i
can't roll my window up
the glass is stuck in the door
at home there's blood on my bed
and no running water
there is a room i don't go in i
see myself through the door
me and my mom used to hide there
crying our prayers through a window
a fig tree covered in water
holds the moonlight like a prison

Sad World
02:41
|
|||
|
rot me around your sword, paint me wet
i don't want to dry out just yet
rot me alcoholic womb, i want to burn my way through this world
consumed with you
i've got a bad idea
let's lose our minds in love with bad ideas
so long sad world, goodbye
peeling back the skin, i want to see the mask
you wear within, beneath your eyes
gnawing at your mind
i want to wither away in your love until i die
i've got a bad idea
let's lose our minds in love with bad ideas
so long sad world, goodbye
