Chipped Checkered Wall

come to me
everybody's waiting for somebody
to be proud and pleased
to lead them to the edge of insanity
can't we just go out?
get real fancy on a dirty drink
you can fix my doubt
i bet that you can fix almost anything
time might find half of what the whole has been offering
and the highest high is realising that i don't need anything
just to fake me out. stringing up another apology
yeah it's real. yeah it's right now
a semblance of some responsibility
you were the beauty queen and i was the pawn
leaning on a chipped checkered wall
you were rolling a cigarette under a neon light
sipping on the wind to catch your breath in the cold
humming on ecstasy, rolling on apathy
i think we're just another two freaks in this town
humming around
running in exile
i don't want nothing, but you've got that something
come to me in this situation
and i wont runaway in this situation
and i wont make you stay in this situation
run my mouth, play my games in this situation
i don't want nothing, but you've got that something
i don't want nothing but you

Future, Tense.

every day it's happenning
you're the one you're thinking of
future's tense so i'm asleep
shut those eyes
start listening
all this talking did was bring about the very last thing that we wanted
and now we've got those icy eyes, running as a pack
but i'm falling to the back
sinking like a stone
this world is growing cold
hard to believe in winning (posture straight your shoulders back)
if you've never seen it (you've been attacked, now give it back)
hard to float above (suffering is a feedback loop)
history catches up (cut it now, on with the truth)
on with it (on with it)
in the morning i couldn't figure out
in a parody on the bed
and when you can't sleep, you wont figure it out
even when it makes so much sense
and then you can't breath, coughing it out
the truth always shows up again
in the backbeat with your back thrown out
oh how selfish this suffering
all this talking did was bring about the very last thing
that we could have been
now we've got those icy eyes, running as a pack
charging from the back
break it with a split (every day it's happening)
if only to rebuild (shut your eyes, start listening)

Want to Be Good

happy living on this hellhole
i just want to be good
i don't have the time
we don't have the mind to rewind or react to all the ways that
time melts
spilling into something
unmarked and combusting
scattered and divine
mine is yours thats fine
i might get lost and tired
but i'll always try
our thoughts
it helps to believe ourselves
instead of never believing
some things are stuck at beginnings
regrets are stuck at beginnings
this mess, now we're just forced to bed
it helps to try and believe it
our fault that the world is still screaming
big stress might lead to relief
i'm homesick in my hometown
time melts
spilling into something
unmarked and combusting
scattered and divine
stripped and simplified
the virus and our pride are killing us

Live Forever

i wont live forever
and you dont have the time
a word is better heard
when spoken and not designed
it all happened like it was meant to
except nothing this time aligned
just like a tire thats burned to crumbles
with once a purpose that's so defined
its the glow that starts so humble
and then explodes into a fire
why even get into that kind of trouble?
why even get so inspired?
