falling down to the everyday emotion
you won’t find an answer to the age old distaste
hey sugar won’t ya cut the confection?
i’ve spent all my years just trying to find an antidote
to the way i despise everyone that i try
and you think you’re gonna change my life?
nothing about you seems to shine
hey cobain, i can hear you laughing with me
cause i’m about to milk it but i’m all apologies
for the times that i’ve lied to every starry eyed child
your seams are falling apart
hey sugar, won’t ya cut the confection?
hey baby, can i find a DIRECTION?
i can’t help but despise everyone that i’ve tried

the early bird call eulogies, we listened with our red eyes and sang along
conducting useless lullabies through teardrops dripping salt on our tongues
i've broken all my promises just to get your gaze to follow mine
i'm a stranger like the rain upon your doorstep while you sleep
if i could only braid my fantasies the way you play with words
and make me dance in circles in a bedroom by myself
you swallow shooting stars to make your heart stop
strew the floor with dolls and dreamers, living down by sycamore street
at night we hear the crickets chirp as the rug burn bites our thoughts and knees
well i've broken all my promises just to linger by your moody phrases
you don't know i memorize the lines that run around your fingers
i bought a crystal ball to wander future lands but i tripped over
and cut myself on the past when you told me you were in too deep
you swallow shooting stars to make your heart stop
i don't know if i can live another day in your warped imagination
but i've been laying here so long my muscles paralyzed and now
my bones just want to crumble with you as you swallow stars thinking it's new

no one said it mattered what she said but i took it with a smile
she left with a bloke i couldn't name and i stood there for a while
sleeping sideways and my eyes ache, trying hard to stay awake
so my dreams don't dwell on it
sealing the space, ain't it funny how the other day you could've fooled me
but i decided not to wait
going down the beaten road
but the wounds don't feel as old
when you're the one who's blown
i ain't scared, turns out i'm the ghost
feeling defeat, only thing that don't ever change
life on repeat, let my brain waves go to waste
somewhere in there, my mind has gone and found the place
to give it up, sit around 'til i go numb
mornings after don't remember how the night breaks
sounds collecting like the sighs of lovers
breathing on my own seems much harder when the sun is hiding in the east
and i dream of telephone rings back at home
it's someone else who's telling me that i've gone missing
didn't feel a thing, though

sometimes we wind up on the ceiling
with our eyes glued to the floor
but we don’t complain, we nod our heads
get dimmer with the noise
hey we’ve all seen better days
our space heads seem to gravitate
towards the war
but we don’t fight it no more
stranger in the back who knows my name
can’t wait to see me again
it’s all a dance between the hopeless and the dopes
and i’m getting bored
hey we’ve all seen better days
our space heads seem to gravitate
towards the war
but we don’t fight it no more
who’s counting the hours?
seems like days ago i met you here
if we get lost, i’ll meet you by the stairs
who’s counting the hours?
seems like weeks ago i met you here
i got lost and left you by the stairs
our eyes are bloodshot and the cops don’t care
we don’t fight it no more

i wandered 'round
miles at a time
and saw with certain blindness,
a sea
i've been a poet far too long
i sit and sift through broken glass
til I find the shards are sharp enough
to suck a drop of blood
the wildness of the earth
became a silent picture, bleeding
memories will kiss my toes
til the skin begins to peel, yeah

lizard skin i dress up in
every now and then, he looks me in the eye
speaks in riddles to the neighbors
i’m giving up again
my feelings are pretend
and he’s afraid of the dark
do do do do do do do
and he said “i’m sick of digging holes,
can’t we play dead once more?
air out our lungs and leave them in the shade
the doctors only know my bones,
not the stuff in between
they’ll never notice a thing.”
do do do do do do do
empty your pockets of lost change
they’ll eat it right up
the walls don’t just stare back,
they suck you into their abyss
so when the girls in white come by,
just sit up straight or they’ll be back at night
home is where the heart is,
where the heart stops beating
your heart stops beating
the cold won’t give in today
clock strikes it’s running late
faces i’ve missed over years of estrangement
sit on the porch and stare
at the yellow armchair
like it’s still saturday
do do do do do do do
