drove past the sirens
pack o'classics in the back seat
doesn't anybody see me watering the back yard?
angry little f*ckers wag their fingers at the blue boys
i'm busy fingerin' a new toy
open up
or i'm coming in
cry hard on camera
for 3 bill$ on friday
i'll tell ya if i had it my way
open up

come and take a seat across the bar from me
have a drink while the cigarettes smoke outside
i've been thinking long and hard to find the words to say to you tonight
when you wake, what thoughts are on your mind?
this place you've tried to make your home
you say you hate it to it's bones
you just might dig until the holes are all too big to fill
if they knew you and what it'd do to you
would they choose to?
come and have a seat and sit a while with me
peeling back these scabs to find the nerve
we skin our knees
we're in between this joke and a ghost
if i could give to you a brand new skin
would you wear you like you're new?
i wouldn't change the one you're in
but who am i to decide for you?
if he knew you and what it'd do to you
what's that show you?
outside your window is a barking dog
he used to bark by mine
seems like he'd bark all the time
outside your window is a barking dog
he used to bark by mine
has he been barking all this time?

i'm never awake
i'm never away
shirt sopped up the rain
drip drop
only one side of my face
money is fake
no give, just take
if you've got it it's ok
hahaha
somebody's calling from the bank
i've got a deal for you
if you've got a couple hours to spare
i've got everything worked out
nobody else knows this, but now you can too!
i think you'd better see
i didn't believe myself
but look at me now
everything falls into place
there's not a second i would waste if i were you
i'm coming undone
by the tip of my tongue
when the glass falls from my eyes
drip drop
i'm shining in the sun
i was always the one
my father's son
when i close my eyes real tight
i don't feel anyone
oh, what a deal for you!
we just can't keep it on the shelves
this deal is moving fast
it's just too good for it to last too long for you
act now, before it's gone!
i wouldn't believe myself, but look at me now
everything falls into place
there's not a second i would waste if i were you

there is a storm inside and outside you
but who's in there?
i'm always listening
and the ringing doesn't stop
maybe i was right
but i'll never know
i guess that's better
when you get used to it
it's easier to sleep
when i thought that i could save you
who was i to even think you needed saving?
i hoped you would save me!
i never lied on purpose
so every bite i bit i'll try to chew

they're chewing outside
ripping meat off the bones
one's loud, one's quiet
cheeks are full, eyes are closed
but i'm just inside with a shovel, knife, and all this rope
you'd better stay down
you've been peaking in the windows
you'd better stay down
you might not like what happens if you don't
their little wives and babies wait back at home
"my daddy's alright, i just wish he'd put down his phone and kiss me goodnight"
they're sneaking out on their own picking fights
"wait'll they see this one!"
blinking their eyes
too stupid to get their own jokes
you'd better lay down
you've been sneaking out the windows
you'd better lay down
you might not like what happens if you don't
sweet, sweet little day dream
don't cry

here, i got you this

little quiet empty room
dusty fan, busted tooth
there was something i meant to do when i came here
first few weeks come and gone
in the left lane, blinker's on
i won't keep you very long
oh, i remember!
we were little kids
you were everything i wasn't then
you made me who i am

i know you better than you think i do
i know you better than i want to
you think i'm hiding and it's true
there's not a lot i want when i die
i don't make enough for a place in the sky
i just want you turned away
at the door they'll say
i don't know you
at the door they'll say
i do not know you
i heard a story about your old man
he put back a few more than he should
and he found his keys to leave and left
it's kind of funny how you run your mouth
you beat up your pops and yet you still shout
"i hold my family dear"
but those of us down here
we don't know you
i don't know you
at the gates he'll say
i do not know you
the enemy you've made
is sleeping deep inside you
his sewage seeps into your words
when i lost my faith
and hell fell of the pages.........
oh god, how could you be so cruel?
i know you better than you think i do
i know you better than i want to
you think i hate you, so i do

stand clothed
who's lying naked?
she glows
honey from the comb
my fingers fuse but taste so sweet
remember spring and the cold heat of promises?
now autumn comes and we're burned
when you sing i sleep
please!
please, i need it!
your lips shape soft and i breathe
just one last song for me?
was i sweet dreaming in white sheets and fading?
your fingers soft
when you leave will you keep a place for me?

jamie sleeps more than me
i try hard not to wake her she looks so at peace
in the back porch lights as we cried
she said, "don't do me any favors."
but i'm standing in the way and i can't get out
she's trying every day
she said, "this is death, but it's happening so slow."
i said, "i know, i know."
"but i don't wanna die again, and all too soon
so i'll never try again.
i run away from anyone
i'm gonna stay on my own

nothing ever seems to change
a life so slow and tucked away
