hello hello
I am calling your name out loud, oh wait
thats the voice screaming in my head
I'll try to stay calm and collected
I know I know my brain
can be the center of my nerves
but its hidden by my fucked up face
you only see it when I let it get to me
and I dont like to let it get to me
I try not to let it get to me
but the worst always gets the best of me
test me test me
Id fail manipulation 101
and Id flunk through vocabulary
Id even get an F for breathing
who would want an unpleasant, unskilled
underwhelmed, listless, gutless fuck
and who would want an insecure and obscure
hopeless romantic when you asked for a man instead
pardon me, this isnt just a matter of speaking
my excuses help me
to be the same way ive been and always will be
but I dont want to be like this
I try not to be like this
but coming full circle has always led me back
to the same old shit

do you remember saying it?
do you remember living it, with me?
and Id say no, then I hung up the phone
its hard to have a heart to heart
with someone with no heart to start
and Id say Im sorry
but its too late for trying
I guess late might be a better place
to start than sometime never
and Id say Id change
but I didnt expect you to wait
but I get premonitions like a heartsick man
at the intersection of finding himself within
but I get premonitions like a heartsick man
at the intersection of finding himself within
and Ive spent some time
practicing breathing
the art form of talking it out
instead of just leaving
Id wait for you to fall asleep
then Id walk the streets to Jeremy's not knowing
what I was looking for
you were right here all along
but I get premonitions like a heartsick man
at the intersection of finding himself within
but I get premonitions like a heartsick man
at the intersection of finding himself within me

one night in your bed
would make me feel home again you said
wrap your arms around me tight
your dungeon seems mighty cold tonight
and Ive been afraid
and I have been shaking in my skin
and Ive been afraid ever since you said
if life is only for the living
then baby we're the living dead
you touched me with your touch of death
Ive got you under my skin
Id scratch right through me epidermis
you are just floating in my bloodstream
and spreading you disease deep inside of me
and Ive been ashamed
of the things Ive done while my heart was still beating
lets share a grave under the moonlight
just for the evening
if life is only for the living
then baby we're the living dead
you touched me with your touch of death

The Loser in Me

I once knew myself
but that was years ago
when love came easy
and freedom came easier
now its me against the world
this rollercoaster always rolls
downhill faster when Im feeling alone
by now I think that I should know
love can wait
but oh I know
more than I get credit for
and oh I know
more than I get credit for
why don't you ask me what's important
Id say the smiles, the sun, the road
and probably everyone I know
I guess Im easy to please
if you ask me bout the things I need
Id probably just say cigs and weed
and someone to share them both with me
I guess Im easy to please
but the loser in me couldnt break you
from your heartbreak streak
so Im waiting Im waiting
for someone new
to share with me the things that I
tried to share with you
and there is no way
somebody's right for me
but if its love I was looking for
I shouldve known

knock out my teeth
so I cant speak
lets share a couple drinks
then we'll crawl in between sheets
is this right for me
what am I forgetting
you tilt back your head
til youre red in the face
absorbed all the blood
from a heart misplaced but
soak it in and soak it up
dont wait, I'll be catching up
this is the most
empty full has ever fucking felt
Ive grown old but not up you say
these feet were made made made
for running away
we are not the same
I said under my breath as I ran away
how many steps away will it take
for my head to take my heartache away
until that day I guess I'll just
I'll just breathe

Im gonna say something
there are many people I know are gonna leave
Im not the kind of guy that can keep people around
to see them grow old
as I do the same
you have no idea
how much I wanna see you grow old with me
just know that I love you
and I'll always love you
with my entire everything
but I dont think we'll fall asleep
with things like these there to haunt our dreams
just breathe in a sigh of relief
when you realize you're the only thing
that you'll ever need
no angel on my left
no devil on my right
just me by my side
and I know I know
a place that I can go to be alone
it's my head
and it wont be wasted on you
I know I know
a place that I can go to be alone
it's my head my head
it's the only place I go when I'm alone
I know I know
a place that I can go to be alone
I know I know
a place that I can go to be alone
it's my head my head
it's the only place I go when I'm alone
I know I know
a place that I can go to be alone
it's my head my head
it's the only place I go when I'm alone

I stare at my shoes when I walk
cause eye contact with you really fucks me up
chin up chin up til I break my neck
cause I know that I'm better off dead
I wanna fucking fall in love
real love
not the kind where you use me
for my sex and drugs, I've
been to quick to share my bed
and when I wake up its empty
and I'm the only one that's left
and that's not fair to me
It feels like I'm cursed
and its only getting worse
Id love to talk it out
but I'm too much of an introvert
feeling my like quiver
is all too familiar
but the words don't seem to come out of my mouth
I thought the look in my eyes
might make you stay for a while
I guess it takes more than that
to make a good thing last
but hey thanks for the false hope
I guess I'll lay in bed alone
and watch my cigarette
turn to ash again
as I lay there in my head
but hey thanks for the false hope
I guess I'll lay in bed alone
and watch my cigarette
turn to ash again
as I lay there in my head
I'm a wolf in a wolfs clothing
I've got a horror deep inside
and I've tried my best to hide it
but I guess it leaked out again
I guess I'm wearing thin
the biggest stress on me
is not letting anyone see
but patience is a virtue
I've repeated in my head
I've watched the hands on the clock
but nothings ever happening
waiting on the futures
a waste of the present
at least in my head
so I guess I'll just keep on sharing my bed
til I wake up and there is someone left
thanks for the false hope
I guess I'll lay in bed alone
and watch my cigarette
turn to ash again
as I lay there in my head
but hey thanks for the false hope
I guess I'll lay in bed alone
and watch my cigarette
turn to ash again
as I lay there in my head
I guess things could be worse

I read through my journal today
and I ripped out all of the entries
until the pages were empty
one step towards erasing all my memories
gone gone gone
I want them
gone gone gone
I gathered all my pictures on my bedspread
instead of cutting out the faces
I tore them all down to shreds
I want that part of me dead
not even one more breath
not even one more breath
who was the one who said
keep your friends close but
your enemies closer to your chest
keep one eye on your heart
and the other one on them
but what if they're the same person
what if they're the same person
Id love to be a fly on the wall
of the room where you chose those things you do
spare me the dialogue
I know what your lips will say before they move
I cant be with somebody
who isn't scared to die
and I'll say
I cant be with somebody
whose scared to feel alive
