Can’t you see that I’m building a better man
I’ve got the working parts that we scrapped from the accident
Less accident, more incident
We need a better battle plan
Systems online, and sequenced power lights
and he’s got dead eyes, but he is not blind
And he’s the answer, to equations
If we keep his heart, can we save him
Can’t you see that we’re upgrading everything
We’ve got hours till updates are made complete
He’s got motors underneath his skin
He’s learning to use his muscles again

Get up, just do it
Get up, before you lose it
No time to sleep
No time to eat
Circuits overloaded
Hard reboot
PC Load Letter?

Under a towering staircase
over the Colorado Bridge
Singing along with my headphones
stolen umbrella close
Don’t want to see anybody
I dread the feeling of getting close
I see disorders are forming
You can look but you cannot touch
Under a double rainbow
blessing true loves winning shot
In the crosswalk, I took a photo
I can only hope that it gets lost

Ive got no will to move
Might stay in bed today
I’m getting stuck on my thoughts
My mind is easy prey
I tried to battle my demon
It sunk its teeth into my skin
It tore my body to ribbons
But at least it left my hands
|

Teach myself to
take responsibility
as simple as that

I saw the note that I wrote you last night , it was crumpled, tossed aside
as if you knew that the words I had spewed, were a curse that would burn your eyes
You’re too high, You’re too low to hear this
And so am I , but I’m so desperate to say it
You can see my life all up my sleeve , but the ink has yet to dry
and the image that I’ve burned of you, is an exaggerate, beautiful lie
I am a raw nerve, reacting to every little thing
and I am just a joke to you, funny until I’m boring
as if you find me in a book, full of so many others
and you think you get the setup, so you simply closed the cover
I cant say I’m any better, but you simply have to know
I love you, I’m leaving cause I’m scared to watch you go

Bill Murray ain’t my father
but we share our last name
and maybe if I’m lucky
I can stake my claim to fame
So I try to write these songs
for old lovers and new flames
So you can write dating me
at the top of your resume
and the kids I used to know
will all remember my name
and the kids I never knew
will all be saying it too
So you can say you knew the Yeti
but “Did he really know you?”

I don’t want to sleep
cuz I don’t want to wake up from my dreams
where the world ends with me
and it’s all gone black but its easy to breath
I don’t see friends
and I don’t see you in the crumbling world
I see faceless strangers
and the kind of danger that would make your toes curl
and I don’t really wanna be
here or there in the waking morning
Forget the losses
I just want to sleep through the early mourning

Here we are
Lying on open concrete
And drops cascade around our heads
Its better to struggle
Its better to squirm
Then take the boot heel to the head
I know that we
Haven’t room to maneuver
We cant afford a pair of hands or legs
You’ll likely find me
Split into pieces
The same romantic thoughts in 16 heads
Or dried out
Too far on the sidewalk
Shriveled up and stepped on
Dead

I never would’ve noticed but you pointed it out
and every night without her is a night spent with doubt
and I burn through every day just like I’m burning through calories
and when I’m desperate for your kiss I’ll stay at home licking batteries
You know how I get when I get no sleep
Wish I was writhing but under your sheets
I’d like to talk you right out of your clothes
spending a night where we’re trading low blows
I guess I’m kind of jealous of the people you meet
Cuz at least they have a chance but Ive been caught in your teeth
I suppose there’s other options, there’s no reason to play
but Ive no motivation so I might as well stay
Give me a wink if I’m turning you on No need for a romance, I’m gone when you want
Alright I guess that its time to move on, so we can find time for the things that we want

Emptied my wallet
You called it, you called it
just give it to bad luck
He’s got my back
It’s not like I want this
but I called it, I called it
before it had happened
bad luck on my end
I wont give you anymore
bad luck ring rolling on the floor
I made a mistake
I called it, I called it
but I will learn from it
sometimes shit happens

So many detours
red and blue on the corners
I'm just trying to get through
but the maze is a gamble
will I pass out at green lights
will I swerve into street lights
will I speed into tail lights
will I see red and blue lights

One pretty face to forget them all
She fell down and found
a precarious pedestal
I couldn’t really say what the attraction was
but even broken dolls
can be brutally loved
Is love what we’re calling it now?
She tried to insist there was none to be found
Every boy wants to lift that shroud
to prove to themselves that the world should be proud
One pretty face to forget them all
and still they would gather
at her beck and call
She never let on she wanted anything more
but every tale would end with
“it was always her fault”
Just let her go

I’m pulling chunks from the concrete
I’m taking every road that I trail behind me
I’m looking in the mirror just to see if you’re following
but I know my worst fear is another fantasy
I’m tearing up our spot in the Culver’s parking lot
where I would pick you up on the nights “When you getting off?”
I never come this far anymore I’ve given up
Fuck this whole town, I would say it’s a good loss
And even getting better is a relative term
I’m feeling better than the strays that litter your neighborhood
but I can feel the scars that we left on my body
and if I could forget, every body reminds me
we’re living in a small world, a smaller city
I’m only passing through, for the few that need me
I’ll always have this pain, though our quest is over
the Yeti will live on as a hero forever more
I get nothing but their praise, and I know they do adore
I feel nothing but your blade, when I can’t feel anymore
so get me on a plane, first flight to Valinor
I hope there’s better days for me here on middle-earth

This could be a really crappy show
I’m not sure I wanna go
but I guess I have to go, oh no no
None of us has ever been before
are their tickets at the door
Who knows of course
Captain Wails and the Harpoons
are coming to your town soon
and we’re jamming it out with the Youthful Nothings
At least that was the plan, but couldn’t plan a thing
A Bad Night For A rock band could be happening

You cant tell
Even if they torture you
With the threat
Of looking at her old photos
Oh so now
You have made me an accomplice
Write this down
Here is how we both survive this

Promise, I’m okay
Come down here with me
Live in the city
Why don’t you believe…
I swear I’m better
Light as a feather
Lets be together
Don’t say its over
There’s a dark cloud over my bed
She couldn’t stand raindrops on her head
Why would she leave something good just to do it?
Why would I lead her astray just to ruin?
I swear I’m okay
“That’s nice, now leave me”
Its not surprising
After everything
I did
I’m okay

Death rides behind me
for at least a few miles
waiting for a hiccup
when he could take me when he wanted
Love has blinded me
has me begging for mercy
I’m ready for another feeding
she can treat me how she wants it
Love might be the death of me
Death might be my lovely
Just let me love before I die
and die before love leaves me

Everyone’s wearing the face of my enemy
Ive never seen him before
But surely hes out for me
I know I cant judge I wont budge on the issue
Hes the one that you want
And hes great end of story
But this is my song and i say that hes boring
And maybe hes stupid
Maybe hes ugly
But that only means
Im an ass and Im petty
I dont understand why nobody loves me
Because Im an ass
And most of all petty

Do you see me
Do you hear me at all?
But what am I saying?
Anything at all?
I am just a jealous boy
I don’t want them
So I don’t get the prize
I’m not sure why
But Ive no reason to try
I still want you
I know it doesn’t mean shit
I’m just expressing these feelings
Though I’m sure you’ve had enough of it
|
||||
21. |
||||
|
I’m only feeling good when I’m causing destruction
Or maybe when its good I feel I need an eruption
A drink just for the night
Is just an excuse for excess
And your hand over my thigh
Is good as long as nobody sees us
I’d stop it if I cared
But I prefer the attention
Whats the point of all these feels
If no one cares when I mention them

How could I be winning
if I always feel so shitty
Oh my life is such a pity
cause I wasted it on feelings
I just had to say hello
I just had to get to know
I just had to kiss your lips
I just couldn’t let you go
I truly am pathetic
I know better, but I don’t get it
There’s no half way, in between
there’s only lying to myself

And once I’ve cut you out, what will be left of me?
and once the fire’s out, what is there left to see?
I’ve filled this journal with my deepest fears
When you have gone, will this pain always be here?
Did I waste my best years treading all these tears?
Make me numb, make me colder
Take my voice, and make me silent
Take it all, and if you don’t want it
Just throw it out, with the trash on the corner
“And what’s he on about?”, “Has he got no reason?”
Just let me work it out, until I’m out of fingers
I’ve filled this journal with all my deepest fears
If I can’t feel a thing was it worth losing those years
Did I vacate the premises but leave my body here

Twist your insides
Spill your guts
Here we push you to your limits
tell us when you’ve had enough
Fear of success
Keeps you chained up
Here you never need to worry
You’ll quit before you’re in the money
Stay disastrous
Keep your hazards
Don’t let them weigh you down
You’ll find a way out of this town

Clicking your ruby red heels
Wont get you home from here
Stumbling from her neighborhood
wishing you could disappear
I ran the red lights
extinguished my headlights
and knew that I just might
never see you tonight
There’s no place like home
but I’m hardly ever there
Unless I’m hiding under covers
and wishing I didn’t care
I have the nightmares
I have illogical fears
I really wish that
one of us would disappear

Ill take the low road
And hope that no one follows me
Find it hard to be alone
1-2-3 eyes on me
I’m still recovering from things that never happened
I’m still obsessing over last years change of fashion
But Ive still got the headphones
Ive still got the vinyl
Ive still got the sneakers
At least for awhile
I think I’ve changed for the better
And after all the bad shit I was worried that Id never
I used to worry you would die in someone else’s arms
I used to worry I was nothing but a time bomb
And now I think, i know, I’m almost ready to explode
Ive got so much potential and I think its time to go
I’m aiming for the moon
But if I miss and find myself among the stars
I wont be missing kissing you inside my saturn
when we talked about our future just before I dropped you off
We hardly said a word on the night I sent you off
I will be happy with no one
At least that seems, to me, to be where all of this going
At least Ill have my friends
At least Ill have my family
At least I have this moment
All alone but I’m not lonely

No, I don’t know what to say
you’re the one who stepped away
Guess I’m good I’ll be okay
There I go, it’s not about me
I’ve considered joining you
would there be room up there for two
But in the end you said no words
Guess we weren’t too close then, were we huh?
I’ve got all these books for you
and Claudio’s new album too
There’s so much here that we could do
If I had made the time
I’ve considered joining you
Would anyone care, maybe a few
The problem isn’t quantity
Sometimes I don’t care about anything

Two middle fingers for
the torrid month of July
Another dampened shirt
glued to my back as I drive
I could be throwing back vodka
with the library girl
instead I’m begging for money
from my laundrymat mother
I have never been better
as far as I’d like to remember
The birthdays, the work days
the cheap dates, two pay days
I am always getting in my own way
Such high percentages
but no ones interested
so many odd jobs
I keep my time invested
Got a good review
from parking lot girl
Well she’s more than that
we used the backseat like an underscore

Before the court I stand accused, Of suicide, by loving you
The evidence: my heart abused, but if you were in my shoes you’d beat it too
I am not elegant
I am not understood
I am not perfect, but I have earned this
Don’t I deserve a worthless love
I think I’ve always been this way, Let’s see just what the jury says
I’m clearly past my third offense, Lucky for me its the minimum
I am guilty, of harboring feelings
its treason on myself give me the strongest poison on your shelf
I’ve got my eyes on you
but if that is a crime
that means you’re accomplice to

I’m not ready
you cant make me
the last minute man
I’ve got a show
yes, yes, I know
I’ll go when I go
I’m running late
how’d this happen
why didn’t you tell me
great
