Losing You

mayday
i think we're coming down with something
are you down with that?
my love
i used to feel less than nothing
can you remember that?
i try
but everything just feels much darker
i'm like a ship without a pier
i try
i'm drowning in some other harbour
when suddenly it all feels clear
you're there
everybody everywhere has heard the news
from drayton valley to new orleans
while i was busy thinking that it can't be true
you're writing my obituary
and i, am losing you
say i, am losing you
mayday
things are only getting brighter
can you see just yet?
my love
i think it's time we forgive things
that i can't forget
i try
but everything just feels much farther
there's no going back out there
i try
but you just try to make things harder
and suddenly it all seems queer
you're there
everybody everywhere has heard the news
from tokyo to calgary
while i was busy thinking that it can't be true
you're writing my obituary
and i, am losing you
say i, am losing you
well, well, well,
say, ay-e-ay
if indecision's what we've faced
then i'll say, ay-e-ay
that in the end hell's commonplace
and i'll save, my best
i'll put you down beside myself
and i'll save, my best
from you
cause i'm a low class, weeaboo, trap loving piece of shit
but i'm who i need right now
and you're the most selfish person i've ever met
so this isn't working out!
i'll save, my best
i'll put you down beside myself
and i'll save, my best
from you
everybody everywhere has heard the news
from edmonton to surrey
while i was busy thinking that it can't be true
you're writing my obituary
you're sleeping in the commissary
you know you're better off without me
i, am losing you
say i, am losing you

hey there, it's nice to see you
do you wanna hear my name?
we've known each other for years
but it's not quite the same
i get knocked down again
and i'm fine, just fine
it doesn't really mean as much
when you hear it all the time
but you know i'll never leave you alone
so don't go leaving me out just yet
leave it alone
i don't understand what's inside your head
when you're alone
i can't help but wanna help
when you wanna be alone
your friends are fucking assholes
mine are too
but i'll still like all of them
as long as they like you
i ask you how you're doing
you're fine, just fine
you lie straight to my face
time, after time
but you know i'll never leave you alone
bit by bit we're connected this far
leave it alone
we never really actually got that far
am i just begging you for sympathy?
oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
what am i asking you?
what are you asking me!
please please can you tell me what it is
cause it's eating me alive
there's no use in pushing all of us out
when you're dying on the inside
you know i'll never leave you alone
i said you know i'll never leave you alone
you know i'll never leave you alone
i don't understand my mind let alone yours
leave it alone
so let's get drunk and complain about how we're sore!
cause i'm so-o-o neurotic
and filled with nervous energy
and you're so-o-o psychotic
so come on stage and scream with me
ah, a-a-ah, ah a a a ah ah
ah, a-a-ah, ah a a a ah ah
i know you'll never leave me alone
i said i know you'll never leave me alone

my darling Emily
you're a pure hearted girl
i'm gonna show you the world
that's what I said
hide it in boxes
and behind hotel doors
i fall through the floor
and come out all clean
but I know, oh, that it's not for the best
and I know, oh, that I'm gonna have to rest
but all of my friends aren't enough like me!
my darling Emily
something's not right
it's a sign of the times
that's what you said
should I feel hopeless?
or should I feel dread?
when it's all in my head
i can't break free
but I know, oh, there's things I can't change
and I know, oh, that I'm acting the same
but all of my friends are too much like me!
all of my friends are just like me
hopeless, dead ends in this dead city
if I never see you again, I won't be soothed
i'm drowning in dysphoria, I've got nothing to lose
ooh, ooh, I've got everything to lose!
but if I can't stop feeling this way, then I just might!
please answer me so I can sleep tonight!
she's locked in my head and it's not alright!
my darling Emily
i'm a useless man
and I can't pretend
to be anything else

Spirals

sirens in the night
come crawling out in a melody
and when my blood runs dry
i know that they will come for me
but not tonight
you got drugs to numb my mind
and pain to block out the memories
and you'll find, that in time
that you are all that is left of me
what i'm trying to say
doesn't matter anyway
what i'm trying to say
doesn't matter anyway
my head is a wasteland
(they're preying on summer)
where is my fellow man?
(we hunt and kill one another!)
drifting falling out of time
you try your best to stay in line
but i know, oh i know
that's how the story goes
you, do you wanna be you
i sure hope you do
cause you got nothing left to lose
you, do you wanna be you
i sure hope you do
cause you got nothing left to lose
take your time
and take your pills
change your name
prep the kill
you gotta carve your face into the shape they want from you
what do you have to lose?
my head is a wasteland
(they're preying on summer)
where is my fellow man?
(we hunt and kill one another!)
my head is a wasteland
(they're preying on summer)
where is my fellow man?
(we hunt and kill one another!)
drifting falling out of time
you try your best to stay in line
but i know, oh i know
that's how the story goes
i hear the song in the distance
i know i can't help but listen
you just keep laying there
staring at the ceiling
but i can't stop throwing up
just for the feeling
i said oh, oh my love
put me to rest
i said oh, oh my love
put me to rest
//
soup can life
teeth on metal spoons
off-white paste
life is crumbs
unwashed dishes
broken door knobs
i am not me
though i was, three days
adorned in splatters of gold
vibrant red seeping oozing crawling
emanating from me
violet bliss
it doesn't matter where you go
it doesn't matter what you plan
it doesn't matter who you tell
you'll be back to
blue skies
soon enough
lukewarm showers
stomach aches
more doctors
more debt
more soup
this is not my life
this is his
i empty my bowl and i put on my jacket

Glorious Dead
01:27
|

go on and drag me down to your abyss
don't need a funeral i won't be missed
you got a run run, runaway heart
but if i never stop crying then we'll never start
i wanna see your blood in the sand
get closer baby hear my every demand
i want your cigarette
on my lips
i really really really really wanna put you to rest
you look at me like what the fuck have you said
bury me baby you're the glorious dead
i got a bad bad case, of your disease
and if i get what i want then i'll never be free
i wanna carve your name in my scalp
i wanna run till my lungs run out
i want your cigarette
on my lips
i really really really really wanna put you to rest
i'm sick of dreaming girl it's gotta be felt
i love your bones i wanna hollow them out
i need to get you out
scream and shout
i really really wanna know, what you're talking about
i wanna carve your name in my scalp
i wanna run till my lungs run out
i want your cigarette
on my lips
you gotta tie me down
bleed me out
put me to rest!

Callouses

i've been trying to write you a love song
but when i try
all my words seem to come out wrong
i love this city
and i love your cracked skin
on my skin
i hold you gently
and get ready to
leave you once again
and i'm lying on the airport floor
praying that you'll never let me know
you don't wanna do this anymore
i'm trying hard not to let it show
that you're the love of my life
but still i'll catch my flight away from you tonight
oh, oh, o o o
please don't let me go
oh, oh, o o o
oh, oh, o o o
please don't let me go
oh, oh, o o o
i can't imagine what it'd be like
to have to leave you
and so i'm counting down the days
till i can see you
your callused hands make me feel dizzy
in my dreams, and in my sleep
i dream of what i long to tell you
when i'm awake and i'm far too weak
and i'm lying on the airport floor
praying that you'll never let me know
you don't wanna do this anymore
i'm trying hard not to let it show
that you're the love of my life
but still i'll catch my flight away from you tonight
oh, oh, o o o
please don't let me go
oh, oh, o o o
oh, oh, o o o
please don't let me go
oh, oh, o o o
and i could be wrong
but i think that i
could never grow to hate you
and i could be wrong
but i think i'll try
to let you know how i feel about you
cause when i'm lying in your soft warm arms
it doesn't matter who i really am
so swing by at the end of the night
and we'll get drunk and sing until we can't stand
this love's too much, too young, too good to last
but when i fall apart will you please hold my hand?
oh, oh, o o o
please don't let me go
oh, oh, o o o
oh, oh, o o o
please don't let me go
oh, oh, o o o

Duality
04:47
|

i think i'm starting to lose my mind
your cocaine daydreams left me blind
and all those years i left behind
wasted breath and wasted time
and i, i don't know why
i'm always too proud to live
and too scared to die
so, imagine my surprise
i saw her standing next to me
her twilight eyes, her midnight sea
even though she's just a dream
she took my hand and i said
let me get dressed up again and we'll go out soon
drink until i can collapse and fall back into you
and it's true, oh it's true
gray's my favourite colour after all
is said and done
you're the only lover i ever loved
i don't know where i'm supposed to go
i haven't been myself for weeks
and i can't be, what i wanna be
for fear of pissing off
the people that i don't give a fuck about
and i, i think it's a crime
and i, think you're so divine
and i, i don't wanna die
my darling emily
you're living in sin
you know you can't win
so why the fuck do i try?
should it be hopeless
or should i be dead?
i'm trapped in my head
and i gotta break free
when all of my friends aren't enough like me
when all of my friends aren't enough like me
and i, i think it's a sign
i'm always too scared to live
and too proud to die
so, imagine my surprise
i watched her walk away from me
her twilight eyes don't leave me be
god, please tell me
i'm paralyzed, i'm paralyzed
let me get packed up again and i'll grow up soon
you know you're my only friend, i fucking loved this room
and it's true, oh it's true
gray's my favourite colour after all
is said and done
you're the only lover i ever loved
