Lyrics improvised
2.
This ambivalence Is getting out of control Rolling on my backside Leaving my guts vulnerable I certainly do care What happens from here I'm just so relaxed The urgency has disappeared…
3.
I’m a sucker for an open mouth I saw your trembling stems I had to check it out And I could smell your sweet sweet honey I had to find my way in But I cant find a way out And you caught me in your teeth I feel my limbs slowly being digested If you wanted to know I’d say I’m deeply invested Its a process that takes its time I hope you find me delicious As the hours fly by
4.
Did you realize That you made a mistake Or was it done with intent To shake the semblance of fate I mean you realize That you’ve played into Your psyche’s plays And yet you play it again And so you spend your days Engulfed in introvert rage Impossible for you to see a way out And for whatever its worth You’ve more than whatever works Just take whatever it takes to work it out Co-dependent… Masochistic… You’re dead set on disappointment
5.
Its time to take it all off Before we take it all on A kiss on every inch I slide my lips upon I just want to be Sincerely yours I just want you here with me Nothing more In a crowded room Nothing but you
6.
False waking on my bedroom floor Your eyes are emeralds I cant help but adore The homeless caravans cross the streets Cycling shadows coming up beside me And the rain wet tar is almost blinding As traffic lights reflect on my dirty windshield Disheveled worms crawl from their homes to safety And every day I crawl to accomplish the same thing
7.
For the first time since I left the lighthouse I hit a brand new low I was thinking its been good to know you But have I been good to know Cuz I prepare, and I wait And I think, but then fall asleep And I’ve started gaining weight I can do better, at least, I think, I know, I want to In my space I lay here dormant The problem may be my bed I sleep and abuse myself In the same place I write this music
8.
Can you imagine A world that just happens To be the one where I move out Ill start the packing Less I be backtracking From the freedom I’ve always longed for Let me have this My good luck is in fashion Let me let me let me get what I want Lord knows, this would be the best time
9.
If you tore my arms off And threw them far apart It would not encapsulate How much I miss you, girl I miss you this much And you’re just like a drug No cost is ever too steep I don’t want to stop Just give your heart to me You’ve got me fucked up
10.
Cant get the night to ourselves My friends are calling for help I feel as useful as a concrete sandwich But here you are next to me The blonde bartender makes three I’d better shut my mouth if I can manage
11.
Tied up in bedside manner My head served on a platter I cannot hide My teeth will clatter Tied up in my tongue’s nooses Pretty good for bad excuses I cannot lie Body language tells the whole truth
12.
Dead like the leaves in the fall May as well been silent No response to my call Dead like webs in my window Married to the glass I want my gone widow Let this be dead like me And let me live for me again Live like the wires that run Live like the words on my tongue Love while I think that I can Live like I’m whole again
13.
Here I am again Laying on the floor And I’m wondering Why I’m here Just a lonely freak Proven right again 24 hours without My antidepressants But nothing could make me feel normal Because i feel your rejection Like I’m less than human
14.
Then again if I’m being honest On the situation upon us I was hoping we could blossom Disappointed that we lost it But it never could hurt as bad as her I never meant to be malicious Who knew my fangs were highly dangerous You haven’t seen me when I’m trying But Ill feel guilty that you thought so
15.
I finally bought myself a futon mattress But now I've got nobody to share it with And I keep thinking of the girls I could talk to Knowing you and I are completely through Its not as if I'm a charmer anyways Flirting in vain is about the worst that I do So I remain desperately single I can crawl back to the people and sites where I'd go Hoping for a pickmeup But all my leads have gone cold I should get used to this anyways But despite all my crippling failures, I wont
16.
Poor British accents in tow Pour down glass after glass of moscato This girl I used to know Is a Mansion dancer now They took bets to see On how soon I'd mention her partial nudity And I would stay all night But I'm somebody's ride Another birthday party Talking to every girl But still fucking lonely
17.
I'm so overwhelmed I just cant move a muscle And I'm growing claustrophobic As my walls close in I drown in rubble
18.
And I look into your eyes. "Do you know that I am The boy who made your sister cry?" I could have asked if I was An even bigger prick But she wont speak to me So I must be pretty big Let my ego do the talking I place the receipt right in your hand "I hope you have a good day" But mine is surely ruined now Its been so long that you don't recognize me...
19.
I tell myself That all is well I need to breath I put myself Through all kinds of hell I need to leave I'm going to see a man about a dog I'm going to find others who all feel wrong I'm going missing
20.
When you’re lonely you can always sleep in my room You can play hard to get I will be the big spoon And I’m terrified, to find that I Am codependent on your attention We do this dance and we fall Spike the punch in the bowl We cling together like wet leaves We hold each other when it rains I’m so dependent on you You’re so dependent on me But if we know that’s it true How bad can it really be
21.
Your advice doesn’t work anymore And your voice is driving me mad I left the door to my room Open for ghosts from the past And not a single one came through I am haunted by the lack Perhaps I’m the ghost after all Perhaps I don’t sing I just caterwaul
22.
A dark cloud hangs over this whole town Or maybe that’s just how I see the world now Everyone is suffering inside their heads And I’m suffering alone in my cold bed The gray days have settled upon me I’ve lost but still got atrophy Gray matter keeps me waiting For someone to find me\anything I haven’t been any good for more than a year ago And every damn day is a blur but they’re moving slow I know there’s a lot that I should’ve said I know there’s too much that I did instead
23.
I want to be But I know I am no good for you Woe is me I don’t expect you to feel sorry I’m only sad because I cant Just talk to you again I’m only mad because I cant See why anyone else would either I’m guilty I need to suffer what I put you through I’m filthy And I don’t think an acid bath would be too thorough
24.
I’m terrified by all these children in costume All these zombies and these witches and monsters I really wish that I could cut back and scream Cause every cherub that I hold just reminds me Of a future I will never have I can turn my head to the side And do my best to hide my sighs I could never admit this before But I must divert my eyes From a future I will never have
25.
Keep your head down Write it all out Work those muscles Take those blue pills Don’t shut doors now Don’t cut nerves down One foot after On a tightrope Black umbrella For this daredevil
26.
Its all down to a vote Hands in, let em show Oh no, we couldn’t let you go Blood thick, but the blood runs slow Its like you don’t even care Dont you even wanna be here You put on a good game face Just another mask for your own sake You look at me Like I’m supposed to say Anything To get them off your case I’m your rock in the front yard Reliably, I’m never close or too far
27.
Call me up When you are drunk “Write me a song With no emotions” The girls who keep me awake Only want me to sing them to sleep Call me up To get you drunk No, its not love You’re used to, love The girls who keep me awake Just need a quick fix to sleep Dont need a creep like me Just need my unique brand of sweet Just want me for quick and easy midnight treats
28.
Lets find entertainment in human debasement Watch horrible horror Before I sleep in the basement And when you get scared you’ll have someone to hold And the heat from jack o lanterns will fend off the cold Lets watch all the classics A night of suspense All hallows eve hasn’t let me down yet My bones may rattle But there’s life in the dead And I’m never alone for the graveyard shift
29.
Dumpster diver, scavenger Hanging with the little critters Sleeping with a well known user Wanting it but still a loser Brand new ghosts collecting debt Pay them off without regret Its not great, but its not bad I could do better for myself
30.
My get rich quick scheme Ended quickly And I’ve hardly the money For eating Anything else than the ramen noodles And the frozen pizza that’s been sitting I’m broke but not for long Just holding out for payday Ill eat what I can find Who needs expiration dates I spent the last of my money on a bottle of whiskey And some smokes for this girl a few evenings ago in my room and she said likes me But most likely for sex and the treating Maybe I could find a nice mom to call sugar, honey, baby, or darling And sell off my body and what little dignity is left for a couple of Bennys

about

Volume 11 of my 365/Song a day Challenge which will end on December 5th 2015.

These songs are notes to myself and people who have long since left my life but still make a difference in it.

I don't expect anything to come of it. I don't expect anyone to like it. I'm just hoping to feel better once it's all over...
