We've Said This Before

You brushed this through my skin
A hit that missed the mark
But still delivered it
I’ll run this past you
We’ll drink
We’ll stay up past
Two
And every time we’ll think
About all the things
I did wrong
But this time
There won’t be a next time
Blood will continue to drip down
It’s still not enough to stop me now
The doctor tells me to stay home and not go out
Just a few more drinks to put me down
For the last time
Should I
Listen now
There’s a few things to live for these days
They outweigh everything I tried to forget
It’s over and over these days
Don’t remind me of my mistakes
Short lived and predictable
You weren’t cold but I gave you my coat
It’s a miracle
Wear that shit
Cause it’s out of print
It’s consumable
But it doesn’t mean shit
It’s just the weather
And I don’t have time
To make this right
Is any of it right
Should I
Listen now
There’s a few things to live for these days
They outweigh everything I tried to forget
It’s over and over these days
Don’t remind me of my mistakes

I don’t know what to say
Should I know what to do
Because I can’t touch you again
Again
All the things you liked about me
Didn’t mean a goddamned thing
You left me in the end
And this is it
I don’t know how long I’ll last
Let’s just finish this
And get back to the past
I’ll try and try and try again
And I’ll end up losing everything
I’ll try and try and try again
They’re gonna take me away
You saw me outside of admitting
And I took a month off of work
It was the last attempt at saving my life
I barely made it to the curb
I don’t know
What to tell you
My friend
You did your best
Love you forever
Thanks again
I’ve embarrassed myself
I can’t look at you again
Wish I could take it back
But my feelings were valid then
Do you still feel good
About leaving me to die
After six fucking years
You couldn’t look me in the eye
And this is it
I don’t know how long I’ll last
Let’s just finish this
And get back to the past

Keys To My Car

Don’t be sad
Don’t be anything
Cause it’s all you wanted
And now, you’ve got it
And I know
That you’re dying alone
But it’s not that bad anymore
No I’m not that mad anymore
You know it’s hard as hell
To watch you droning on about
The pain that’s inside of your poetic mind
Now it’s turning on itself
And man I’ve got nothing
Nothing
For you to hold on to
As you take your fall from grace
I wish I could give what I don’t got to give
But I’m betting it’s better that way
Now that I’m nothing
Nothing
Don’t be sad
Don’t be anything
Cause it’s all you wanted
And now you got it
And I know
That you’re dying alone
But it’s not that bad anymore
No I’m not that mad anymore
You know I’m growing sick of
All the voices in your mouth
Make up your mind
Or at least fucking try
To quit raining on yourself
Cause man I’ve got nothing
Fucking nothing
Don’t be sad
Don’t be anything
Cause it’s all you wanted
And now you got it
And I know
That you’re dying alone
But it’s not that bad anymore
No I’m not that mad anymore
Grab the keys to my car
Drive it fast into a lake
Don’t hate you
But I do
And it’s all that I can take

I had it all
I had it all figured out until I
(Let it go)
And now all I do is come home
It’s all I’m capable of these days
(All I do these days)
The circles only ever get darker
And my friends keep asking if I’m farther
(Farther gone)
Until they stopped one day
Because they can’t
They won’t
They promised
They can’t watch it any longer
And I promise they won’t have to
I’ll figure this out one way or another
I can hook myself to drag me under
I can’t begin to explain
How long this has been a thing
I was nine years old when I was told
Underneath it all you can breathe just fine
Leave the key under the gate
Because it’s ugly anyway
I hope the world ends tomorrow
This place is fucking awful
And maybe I’ll just go first
I can’t begin to explain
How long this has been a thing
I was nine years old when I was told
Underneath it all you can breathe just fine
It’s just one more thing
Add it to the list
It’s ten steps backwards
And it’s unfortunate
I’ll walk bayberry a thousand fucking times
And I’m begging for help
Because I can’t breathe fine
I was just a little kid
I couldn’t deal with it
I was always late
I never made it on time

Comfort & Capguns

And fairness is
What it’s always been
I’ll strip down too
I’ll tear off skin
And I do care
You broke me out
Out of here
And break out the broken
(What do you think of me)
We’ll wear each other
(Who do you wanna be?)
Like comfort and Capguns
(Run ourselves right out of fucking steam)
We’ll love like kids
It’s based on a feeling
(And if I’m dead inside)
Not everyone else
(Do you run and hide)
Our hearts are blind
(I’m begging you don’t let me fuck it up)
But blind will fuck it up

Separate Places
02:32

This is mine and mine alone
So fuck off with your guilty conscious
It’s not gonna do any good
For the dead or the living
Or the murder of us
Or the blood splattered up and down my face
Is it mine and mine alone
I had a dream where things went right
But it ended up at a funeral
Where our gravestones touched
But it didn’t mean much
Cause we’re both in separate place
And we’re both in separate places
And we’re both in separate places
And we’re both in separate places
We’re both trash
In a throwaway culture
Where nothing really matters
You never loved me anyway
Now in death we are just living
Each other’s nightmares
Cause we’re never really
Off the hook
Are we off the hook
Are we off the hook
Are we really ever off the hook
Fuck this anyway

Goodbye Bean

All I can see
Is a perfect shadow of me
It’s all I’ll ever be
And this time
I’ll take it to the end
For the last time
I kissed you and the dog bye
You know it made me wanna cry
And this time
I’ll take it to the end
I’ll take it to the end
I think this is it
You dragged this out for a bit
You didn’t know it
But you killed me that day
When you came home
And thought I was away
When you came home
Please come home
Please come home
