i begged and prayed and nothing changed
you still went on your way
you don't know what else to do
you sit and drink your glass of wine
you stare at your phone to pass your time
those are the only things that you know
and you will learn to love me
you wont know why you miss me
when you go outside to pray

I met the devil in the basement of my home
he had long teeth and whistled my favorite song
and I blinked slow and I hummed along
I blink slow and just hum along
we got a pen and paper to write a letter
to all my friends and dearest family members
and I blinked slow and hummed along
he said don't be scared and just come along
he said sometimes, baby, dead is better

meet me by the toes of our tree
high noon is so good with me
ill bring my ax you bring some nails
and we'll tear it right out of the shale
we'll build our house on our hill
and we'll stare out of our window sills
at all kids that we have made
and that's how we can spend our days
I don't know why I'm like this
help me to change it
I feel so much better when I leave your town
to think that I would build you a house
I don't know why I'm like this
I don't think you can change this
"you know there is a difference between self help
and helping yourself"
I will, I will. I'll change my will
I want to go where you go, no matter where you decide to go
I will, I will. I'll change my will.

I wanna get real tight
with all these feelings I hide
I wanna get all married
to everything I see
bless my heart to death
I'm always of afraid
of everything that I see
I wanna hate myself
I wanna live in a hole
I wanna eat all my food from one bowl
I wanna kill my friends
I wanna sell my car
I wanna move really, really far
bless your heart to death
you're always afraid
of everything, especially me
I don't know what you see
count me in
count me in
for a life time sentence
I wanna bless a home
with my dirty boots
I wanna feel free
to love you
I wanna tell the truth
I wanna hide some too
I wanna feel free
to love you
bless our hearts together
bless our hearts to death
we're always afraid
of everything that we see
but I don't know what we see

stay with me. please will you stay with me?
I could be anything that you need. need me to be
draw some woods. straight edge rule. get all the leaves
that will touch our future feet. do this for me
dead fern and some tarot cards
that's what you left in my yard
and I don't know how to say anything
I don't know how to say that I'm having a good time by myself
you are free to black out your eyes. you can cuss, scream, hitch rides.
you can drink until you go blind. you know me.. you know right where
i'll hide.
heading to the American spain.
wont shed a tear on the plane
ya, I know I'm insane everyday
a.m. drinks I cant refrain
I can drink better than you can aim
going on a long holiday
dreaming of ferns on a plane
and forgetting your middle name. hell ya

will you call me on my phone
that way I can pretend I am not alone all the time
we can probably get married
talk about the places you'd like to be buried when we die.
I wish we were together everyday
run around town and play
I'm so happy I met you on st. patricks day
will you love me someday
ill do better next time. ill repeat that line a few more times
all the time
losing all my sleep. to the things that make you quietly weep
at night
now we're together everyday
now you can see all my ways
girl I'm sorry that I turned out this way
will you love me anyways
you don't call me on the phone
I don't have to pretend I'm alone
now we're apart everyday
now you cant see how ive changed
girl I'm sorry that it had to be this way
will you love me a different way

holy shit

I wonder what youre doing all the time
are you with your friends or are you with mine
what frame of mind
I'm talking to a suitcase. I'm doing ok
everydays the same and I'm losing faith
I'm losing my faith
holy shit am I done yet
these songs keep me sick
holy shit am I done yet
my brain wants me dead
go ahead. take your break.
do whatever you need to feel free
not from me.
I got all this love, with nowhere to go
might just walk around and piss it in the
snow.
holy shit am I done yet
these songs keep me sick
holy shit am I done yet
my brain wants me dead
"so many men have come before. wish
you were my first"
scars don't care about all the pain
straight arrow it will ring
holy hell am I done yet
holy hell are we done yet
these songs keep me songs keep me sick
holy hell are we done yet
my brain wants me dead

the roads get wider
we just grow more tired
and we cant swim
the day grows thin
and I'm going home
I don't give a fuck who knows,
and I know its sad,
I don't even miss my dad
back to back, to it all
the beginning of my story
back to back, to it all
beginning of my story. when he said he was sorry
oh the hearts of men
they float like spider webs in the wind
and if you shiver
the whole wide world will fold and quiver
back to back, to it all
the beginning of my story
back to back, to it all
beginning of my story. when he said he was sorry
but he said he was sorry
no I don't want to go outside
for I fear the sky will crack and die
stay in my bed and think about all the lies
that you said. all the time
that you said. all the time
like you told me, that everything would
would turn out just fine.

stay awake with me. don't let me be free.
close one eye at a time. you can see me.
time wants dust
time will melt us
if you didn't want to be with me, why'd you call
if you didn't want to be alone, that's not my fault
times a funny thing. It demands its always right
make you do crazy shit and stay up all night
and you cant own a single ounce of it.
time wants dust
time will melt us
she doesn't think about it anymore
cleaned out the dresser draw
hung my things on the front door
that's it.

or do I wear it like a stain
