Outside, It’s raining gasoline
Toss all your cigarettes in the street so we can all feel the heat
Selfie-stick in hand, throw yourself through the window
Breath the glass, enjoy the view
Coughing up ash and credit cards
Children making angels In the ashes of their neighbors corpses

Drowning at the bottom
In a chain-link life vest
Drowning at the bottom
In a chain-link life vest
Was it the siren who seduced me?
Or the captain who abused me?
Name tag anchors tied around our necks
Chained to the bottom of the ocean
Dressed like coffins
Dancing on a burial plot
I will take back my family’s eyes
I will take back my family’s eyes
I will take back my family’s eyes
I will take back my family’s eyes now
By your words, be marked and buried
By your words, be marked and buried
By your words, be marked and buried
Only a beast knows how humans should be treated

Lately, I’ve been... breathing concrete
I’m bleeding sand like an hourglass in a fire
Lately, I’ve been... spitting cement
I’m bleeding sand like a playground at recess
Lately, I’ve been breathing concrete
Scraping the sounds off my tongue with a razor
Lately, I’ve been spitting cement
Drag this out through miles of glass and unanswered questions
Was it the way you touched me?
The way you punched me?
The way you glanced at me?
I’ll stay quiet
And you’ll stay cold
I’ll stay quiet
And you’ll stay cold
I’ll stay quiet
And you’ll stay cold
I’ll stay quiet
And you’ll stay cold
I jog through landmines and bite my tongue
CTRL + ALT + Delete it, I swear I don’t need it
CTRL + ALT + Deleted, I no longer taste it
You’ll just stay cold
You’ll just stay cold
You’ll just stay cold
You’ll just stay cold

You look nothing like the pictures
Oh honey, I’m so impressed
That you're already liquored up
And you aren’t even dressed yet
And there’s coke on your phone
If this is a contest of who can care less
I’m walking away
I am walking away
Break the mirror
Breathe the glass
Hide your eyes
Bite your tongue
Wear the white dress
Drink the red wine
Ingest embarrassment
She's not done… powdering her nose with the dust of my bones
She's not done… painting her nails with my blood
She’s not done with my bones
She’s not done with my blood

I’ve been one-eyed running through these weeks
Drowning my head trying to the flood these memory banks
Honey, your portraits been hanging in the back of my eyes
But my nails aren’t sharp enough to take them out
But my nails aren’t sharp enough to take them out
I’ll give my eyes to the sun if it keeps the curtains drawn forever
I think I’d rather go blind than see that you’re doing better
You were a pretty coffin

We were all marked: “return to sender”
In bubble wrapped basements
Denim patchwork hearts
Studded engagement rings
Stick-and-proke prose
We’re all just candles in the wind
Kamikaze pirates burning at both ends
Stumbling in the darkness
Searching for a purpose
Driving into traffic
Blackout automatic
I just want to lick my wounds tonight
or just let them bleed
I will never make you proud

If you had told me how long it would be
Would it have been any easier?
I’ve spent years
Falling asleep to chemicals
And dissonant frequencies
Locked in a room with no windows
Dancing with my shadows
Imprinting my retina with the shit on the screen
Isolated without human interaction
Jacking off to flashing lights
I dug my way out of over a decade
One day at a time
Caught by my own reflection
I’ve become the beast that I once sought to destroy
My lips belong to an old boy
He smiles and says to me:
"Laugh and world laughs with you
Weep and you weep alone"
It begs the question:
Even if I’m no better than a beast
Don’t I deserve to live?
Even though I’m worse than a beast
Don’t I deserve to live?
I'll cut my fucking tongue off
I'll be your fucking dog
I'll never speak again
I'll never speak again
No matter the weight
In water
It sinks the same
No matter the wait
In water it sinks the same
Revenge is good for your health
But the pain will find you again
Revenge is good for your health
But the pain will find you again
Revenge is good for your health
But the pain will find you again

Blood Prisoner

Slave to your own genetics
Bound by your own blood
Caged bird
Never left the nest
Never took flight
Tethered to the floor
Seeking praise
Lost in a bottle
Slander the name of those you love
Found in another’s flesh, right?
Daddy’s got a new pair of jeans
Oh, but daddy’s still got the same ol’ genes
And whatever you do don’t step on my new black boots
So gas the car
Pedal to the metal, kid
And the keep that foot off that fucking brake
I’ve always rejected the world you've envisioned for me
for me

You Can (Not) Rebuild

God, please tighten your grip around my throat
I need to know if this is real
I need to know if I can still feel
Teach me how to drown in better ways
Teach me how to suffocate through my days
Teach me to drown
Team me to suffocate
All you ever do is hurt me
And you never even learned to love yourself
You’re all you have and you never even learned to like yourself

Download a new god from the desert of the real
Subscribe to a new savior, print his face on pieces of paper
Empty their pockets and empty their heads
God is in his heaven, all is right with the world
