Please respond, to this urgent letter
Maybe if I want to remember
I’m certain I know you’re breaking it off
so I left it alone on the kitchen counter
and when I see you now I will think to ask
but why would it matter the past is the past
You will not let me go you will not let me close
I wanted to ask but who cares, who knows
I’m trying hard just to be a friend
but in my sorry state oh my legs always bend
We cannot stand together now that I’m demoted
You’re an intelligent girl but stupid for hoping
You got what you wanted, knew how I’d behave
I get it, you’re smarter, let’s call it a day

2 AM, 2 AM, he came in
blindly drunk, and drunkenly stumbling
and he made you, he made you
forget, we're still heading
nowhere
You’re not the monster, I thought you were
shaken, and crying, and tender and hurt
He's not the monster you thought he was
He's just like your parents
Addicted

Sugarpea #149 Slinking
01:40
|
|||
|
Far and away, starring in
grotesque plays, I’m filling in
For lack of desire, my body aches
fingers never tire, brain is frayed
I’ve got a loaded gun, but all I draw is blanks
I gave a stranger so much of my life, and all I got was a thanks
and lack of desire, they’re calling me out
and back into the fire, why am I slinking
I’m hanging from a wire, my neck is creaking
The world is what I desire, so why am I slinking
|
||||

|
When did I?
How did I?
End up here
Beating
Bashing
brains between my ears
I am
long gone
but I brought all of my fears
I would
rather
toss them but still I’m here
|
||||

I used to be a jealous little boy
watching all the kids from my bedroom window
reading lots of books from sun rise to sun low
wonder why I couldn’t just keep out of trouble
staying past curfew, stealing from the kitchen
staying up late, just to run another mission
I threw another tantrum, I grabbed another knife
I held it to my chest and I don’t know why
I guess I’ve always felt that I’m the one missing
something that everyone else in the world was given
It didn’t matter, who would listen
I couldn’t leave the house without my parents strict permission
They see me as the bad kid, they see me as the problem
I try to hold my tears back, my hands too small to hold them
I just wanted some attention, now I get it but just need a second
I’ve got friends and family, don’t feel connected
I guess I let it get the best of me, and then I let it get the best of everything
I’m still holding that knife, so what do I have to cut before I start to feel alright

Would it be wrong of me
to pull this crimson thread
Curiosity
needs to see where this ends
And every fool believes
he has a chance to make a difference
I wouldn’t change a thing
as long as you’re happy at the end of it
Would it be wrong of me
to pull this crimson thread
Watch you unravel
until there’s nothing left

Trying to keep chartreuse from rising up
as the clouds spill their own mess, spewing it in chunks all around, down
You didn't want to see my insides, but I spill my guts
And now the flood is surely coming, run for your life get out of town
Chartreuse, what do you do?
Chartreuse, all over you
I've really got a mess to clean up
fill the potholes best I can before you're back around
But its whatever, not a problem I
have had to clean this at least a hundred times
The colors coming up, It's nothing new to you
I've gone and spilled my guts, and you've spilled yours too

cannot be swayed
eating everything and getting his way

but he gives me lots of flack
if he don't get treats
Marigold Marigold

I swear, I promise
I've nothing more to eat

Its a really fun joke
That's not really funny
A year has nearly passed
But tonight I'm still wondering
If its simply that easy
to turn off your feelings
I think that its trending
Cruz everyone's doing
And I am simply blue
What else is there to say
You were up, up, away
Before I said a thing
And I am simply blue
Don't know what to do
Am I just bad news
Its better to forget
Than get attached to

I've got a full week of this
Staying in the dog house
I'm shedding fur inch by inch
After handling 6 furry kids
And I hey, I get to clear my head
And hey, got time to reminisce
And hey, I get to sleep in a bed
And hey, I think that I could get used to this....
|
||||
12. |
||||
|
I could say
Go out with me
We'll have a drink
But anyway
Oh I could say
Anything
Go on for days
About the way
That I feel around you
How I feel without you
Like an gordian knot that has been cut in two
And when I see you again
Maybe in 3010
I hope that you're smiling
I hope you'll hold me again
|
||||
13. |

When will I see your scars
And when will you see mine
We've listed all our flaws
But there's deeper ones to find
Here is the cut on my knuckle
Here is the gash in my arm
Here you've got nothing to hide
Here we defuse and disarm ourselves
When will you let me in?
If ever, I'll happily wait
I've gotten used to the cold
And I never mind the rain
Here is the scar on my back
The road rash that clings to my leg
Here I've got nothing to hide
Here we remove our clothes and our fears
Here we can share ourselves
|
||||
14. |
||||
|
Just when I thought I was
Getting better I'm getting worse
Maybe I'm just sore from screaming
Obliterated vocal chords
I'll whisper
But then how could you hear
These sweet romantic words
!!!!
I choked but eh who cares

You got me good
I didn't see it coming
I know I should
But here I come, running
Kiss me again
I want to feel wanted
She has my heart
You've got my rapt attention
I'm falling apart
Woke up afraid to love
Kiss me again
So I can pretend that I'm wanted

Sugarpea #162 No Way

He said there's no way
I said there's no way I'm giving this up
I was intent
But he was intent on shutting me up
A drunken mosher
Couldn't get me drunk and into the pit
He didn't fare any better
I was working on my astral projection
I tried to reach you
But lost my cool by your favorite booth
I didn't want to hear him
No wise man could ever convince this fool
I've got abandonment issues, sure
But I could never run away from you

Cactuar
Got you pinned
Got your pin
And I got
Your interest
You've got words
You've got heart
You've got a whole damn story
I've never heard
1000 needles sticking out my arm
The toughest defense, but I mean no harm
I couldn't fake it, not this kupo charm
1000 needles, where'd you learn that from
Cactuar
Talk to me
Let me see
Where it stings
I'd like to know
What makes you tick
What makes you drink
the coolest Cactuar chick

Turned my head
as you undressed
And I had to wonder
what I missed
and under, your covers
hands start to wander
angelic, arms around me
till your alarm clock ruined the feeling
I'll take what I can get
|
||||
19. |

You didn't bury me deep enough
and here I am
You didn't think you could fend me off
so here we go again
Where does the time go?
I know. I know
You couldn't keep me from showing up
I am living dead
You keep keeping me out of here
but have I ever left

I'm so jelly of the girl
who's out there
somewhere sitting on a beach
she's looking out there
for another piece
I hope she finds it
I'm so jelly of the girl
She's lovely
while I'm standing over here
still waiting
for an answer to appear
or just a godsend
I'm so jelly of the girl
she's awesome
Could go anywhere she wants
I'd follow
but what we want is out of reach
See you on stage

Well we're going out
and we're going out for awhile
We're going out
before going's out of style
We've got a long drive ahead
at least about an hour
Hope that I can stay awake
for drinks and random encounters
Maybe I should listen
to drunk intuition
I'll do it more often
Starting this weekend
|

I won’t tell
I won’t fall
I won’t mention
Chalk it up
Blame it on
Intuition
You were drunk
I was drunk
I was desperate
foolishly punching out my tailights
I should know
Let it go
We know better
But it ends
So whatever whatever
When it works it works
But the scars last forever

Sometimes I think I’m fearless
But find I’m full of nerves
Sometimes I think Ive worked for this
But its nothing I deserve
Sitting in your bedroom pondering
While you’re out and about for a smoke
If I said the things I’m wondering
Which one of us would choke
Love is just a chemical
I’ll never have a handle on
But if its just a lie
Its a lie that makes me comfortable
Sitting in your bedroom floundering
While you open your window remote
If I told you what’s been killing me
You’d surely just leave me alone
|

You said that we are stuck in supporting roles
but I’m nobody’s sidekick ‘cept yours I suppose
and if you didn’t think this film was seen from your point of view
Pan the camera till it follows your every move
As you laugh, as you cry
as I stand, as I’m quiet
and not a word of advice I’ve learned from parents and friends
could help me figure this out, could make it right in the end
Oh no, I’m nobody’s surgeon, I’m not handy with glue
but I’ve seen enough ER, to fake my way through
I’m here to support you, get your lyrics all out
And you’re there to support me from the floor to your couch

Gotta pack my bags and go
Leave my loved one a ransom note
cause the bagpipe didn't say no
but had no arms to hold me close
And yes I think I'm going crazy
I'm stuck inside a nightmare
where I can't seem to move my limbs
no one hears my cries of terror
Never seems to take this long
critical mass atom bomb
First I'm right and then I'm wrong
Hangman, mosey on
Yes I think I'm going crazy
I think perhaps I've been here
And once I'm gone I'm gone for good
But hey it might be better

You left a pretty big bruise
not that you’d see
since I cover my wounds
but just like the gaping big slice on my neck
some things are obvious and hard to forget
two for flinching turns quickly to 50
Its why I am stiff as a board
I dont lack passion
just trust in your actions
I trust I’ll be promptly ignored
I know just what to do
The trick is convincing my body to move
my room is wet concrete
poured into shoddy
foundations that take time to loose
Oh come with me, please say you’ll come with me
Though I’ve never left here before
You say you need me, I’m not quite believing
Surely I’m needing you more
but promptly my words are ignored

Read another rejection
but I’ve still got stars in my hands
I’m falling just like one of them
but less bright with a darker complexion
try to quell heartfelt erections
over read your many inflections
Do you love or do you hate me
in the end there is no difference
All I want is someone that I want
to simply want me back
keep on turning empty handed, keep on going down the tracks
I should find a better reason, why should I continue breathing
Looking for the brighter side that left me with a year of these
|

I will gladly pay
To take you out
(Its the least I could do)
For running cables
At four in the morning
(Strumming chords in your bedroom)
You and I have peculiar tastes
But we cannot agree on Saves the Day
You and I share a common theme
That goes far beyond our canine teeth
Well I'm fucked (metaphorically)
If I stepped out of line and you're going to leave
I'm the bomb that is going to blow that you shake and you kick for a grand display
You and I always kick and scream
You're itching for a fight
While I tumble my feelings
You and I are good for each other
Voice of my reason, the voice of your mother
You and I
Me and you
The perfect couple
Of drunk, depressed fools

Go to sleep right after you
but that's a game I'll always lose
You're sneaking out my back is turned
I act like I have not, but quickly learned
We cannot help ourselves
We cannot help each other
So let's try to get better
So let's do it together
Run, run, run you cant catch me
A one against none game of hide and seek
You say you know what makes me scared
but nobody does, why the fuck should I care
