Cut

We found him on a cold autumn night
He lay face down by the bed
I couldn’t believe what I saw
Blood pouring out of his head
We just couldn’t believe it
Poor kid, dead at seventeen
Why would he do it?
We looked to his diary to see
But there between the pages
How I regret what I saw
Inside were his darkest secrets
And they were clawing at the walls
“There’s something inside me
And it wants out
There’s only one thing to do
It’s to cut it out”
Cut it Out
“I can’t bear the thought
Knife to my skin
If I cut it out
What will it do then?
But as I write this
Somethings about to change
I can feel little fingers
Digging inside my brain”

Until We Die

I can feel it coming over me
Grab a cup of coffee and watch tv
Make it something scary, I want to scream
Then put your loving arms around me
Can we hang out until we die?
Until the end of time?
Can we hang out until we die?
Until the sun don’t rise no more?
Can we hang out until we die?
Because it feels so right
Can we hang out until we die?
Cause you’re the fire of my mind
Sometimes I feel like I’ve got you bored
Then you smile at me, heard it all before
Stay in or go out, cause it’s all the same
In love with being with you it’s all ok

Watchful Eyes

She said she lives in spite of me but I don’t know
She said “you’d look good dead, but not before the show”
She wishes she was breaking out but the car it just won’t go
And she said
She wants to feel so alive
Like the emerald vase, so full
Under the watchful, private eyes
She won’t be turned into the fool
She said she’s moving back to the streets all filled with gold
She said she’s got no time for man children to grow
She dumped a bag of speed and picked up the good word
And she said

Janie Says

Standing on the corner
Night sprite in my hand
Leanne's in her short dress
But Janie, Janie's got her vest
and me, I'm in a punk rock band
Riding a speed high railway
I saw her reading Weil
College stud says "hey what you got there girl?
Well me, I'd throw it away".
I said "Janie, Janie don't say a thing".
Sweet Janie
Flipped a used Day paperback
said "practice is what you lack"
She said "concepts make a very pretty overcast, but they're just that".
She said "you see, you gotta take it all back".
Loose pens sit by her leg
Deep thought, she writes away
Don't know no no no nothing
I just wanna know what she thinks
Is it hard to relate?
I fell in love with theory first
then Janie came and showed me what it's worth
Too much thinking on Sundays
She said "babe don't say a thing"

Something in the Attic
01:26

I can hear them at night
They’re always moving around
Always got something to say
Usually with some frown
Always snickerin’ with laughter
And their fingers sharp points
Always knockin’ on my window
Asking me what’s the point?
I don’t wanna believe it
There’s something in the attic
They say they wanna be my friend
Wanna come out in the light
Say they wanna show em all
All the fuck ups in my life

Why, Oh Why?
01:54
|

Unforgiving
Unnecessary
What’s the point
of feeling heavy?
You thought it’d be easy, didn’t you?
You feel the rising of the sun
You feel the growing of the mold
The longing call from the empty
Is it the wrong side of the bed?
Self-afflicted
The bleeding martyr
Why, oh why
Do you even bother?
You haven’t done a fucking thing for anyone.
