I find myself
drowning in a glass of vermouth
to get over the sober that is you
I won’t give myself over
because I know that you’ll break me
I’ll push you away
because one day you'll hate me
I'll destroy what I love
to get what I want
I just can’t stop it
you won’t fucking make me
I won't give myself over
because I know that you'll shake me
I push away
because one day you'll hate me
I destroy not love
to get what I want
I still can't stop it
you can't fucking make me
(no)

I want my cake
and to eat it too (too)
I'm corrosive
I'm blank
I'll eat a fucking
hole right through (through)
you are nothing
but everything
I'll stay a little
longer I gave you (you)
my static is a
novel and you
are the author
I need you to remember
so I don't have to
where did we go
after it came on
I've lost a lot
of time
red letters
carved into my
perception
I like to think
I learned my lesson
bringing back what
little I know
my endorphins kick
in and I'm on a roll
(elastic moral compass)
until it all
crashes right back
to the start
a new soul
a new name
and it tears
me apart
a little love
some time and
a reason
all the same
because if I
was really here
it wouldn't be such
a game

this is a prison
sometimes I pretend
I'm hiding
no sense of
warmth inside me
forever off balance
In you I can't confide
these things
relentless
like fire or
trial by it
you'll wreck what
comes your way
and I'll hide behind it
for my heart
in all its worth
you never did pay
and now I've come
to find it
this is a dungeon
an oubliette
once called
"a place to forget"
washing in my sorrows
and licking my wounds
the truth
must be that
it was never you

revved up
sentimental
values are gone
another day in here
I'll put him on
wearing his face
the truth is a
masquerade
I told you I'm
corrosive I'll
piss on your
fake parade
redlining my head
it's all fun and games
my friends are
all here I'll sell
you their names
(eat away)
redlining my head
all fun and games
another week in
here I'll meet
my death and
switch names
(at me)
it's real hard
to lie to you now
but I can't get
over how much
better it sounds
without you here
I left it all behind me
a new name
I found
redlining my head
it's all fun and games
my friends are
all here I'll sell
you their names
(eat away)
redlining my head
all fun and games
another week in
here I'll meet
my death and
switch games
(it was fake)
redlined I said
you've got all their
names so now
let's calm down
and play it
all the way
(all along)

I echoed out
around the universe
for just a second
I like to get lost in the
colors and sounds
assimilating your soul
leaning back out
parasitic I may have been
but you were much too stout
riding the wave
not back to shore
but out to sea
I finally see
the truth really is
that the problem
was always me
there's no other answer
if there was I couldn't pick
because the me that I know I am
knows the others are really sick
I'm not one to pretend
that I can't be hurt with words
never claimed to be invincible
I’m breaking into thirds
not even low now
but the static is so loud
it’s even and bursts out
my memories churn down
into nothing
but everything
so I let it wash back
now the birds can sing
songs of love
and understanding
but it's not as sweet
as you'd think

what am I doing
this is bad
and I know it
I hate all these
parts of me
I've done better
not to show it
in the past I've
kept to myself my
feelings or desires
but the past is the past
and I'm sick of all the
crossed wires
the red has become a
problem that I'm
sure I can't ignore
but a hard fact to face is
never felt that before
Want you to know but
it's not the best time
another serious factor
being that you're not mine
maybe the truth is just
that it's not our time
maybe it never was
after all
there were signs
So the truth is true
but somehow bent
lost in translation
like the love I sent
for all that I've done
and all that was said
maybe it's better
to just put it to bed

It took me too long to see
that I never really missed you
that it never really mattered
If somebody else kissed you
I thought you left me battered
with my soul all in a twist
but I realized later on
who was truly being missed
I guess I should have known
certain parts of me really did
so very many red flags
now I'm just glad we were kids
because if it'd happened later
once we'd had our own kids
I'd still have to see you now
and put up with all your shit
So I'm glad it's finally over
I'm not so down anymore
and I know that sort of hurts you
but it's bad form to be sore
especially now at this point
what with how you made me sink
into holes I didn't know I had
but it gave me time to think
fell way down inside myself
hit the bottom floor
but in doing so I realized
who needed who more

I can't feel any of this
I don't know what's wrong
I'm really starting to think that
I came on a bit too strong
I don't know what I'm doing
despite what you might think
reliving all our moments now
and it makes me want a drink
I really how hate how it all happened
always wish I could take it back
I don't know why I'm like this
I wish I knew how to act
broken and defective
really wonder what it takes
to make everything okay again
and get back to my old face
I'm sorry I'm so crazy
because I really didn't think
that once I got your clothes off
you'd mark my heart with ink

armed we remain
