The scars and the blood, they won't fade away
And things won't ever change
And I'll miss you, but I won't come back that way
Cause I know better, people don't ever change
Tear the old stuff out there's better things ahead
Make all the bad things fade, cause there's better things ahead I see
Tear out the pages and make a new entry
Things won't ever change, and I've made my peace
And I'm better now, I'm better off released
And I know my needs
And I'm better now that we
Tear the old stuff out there's better things ahead
Make all the bad things fade, cause there's better things ahead I see
Tear out the pages and make a new entry
And I know myself
And I know my feet
And I know how to make it right
You just gotta get up out of your seat.

Drugs

Waste time
Waste it on some drugs and I will take them
Take them with a drink that I will sip down
Slouch around and slur my little mind
There's nothing my little flashlight can't find
Light up
Light the little room you use to get high
Cobwebs on the wall that watch you waste time
Slouch around and slur your little mind
There's nothing my little flashlight can't find
White pills
Propagate the alphabet and I take them
Like marshmallows while Cillian just lays down
And wonders what the problem is tonight
There's nothing a little night vision can't find
Get high
Waste it on some drugs that make you
Get high
Take them with a drink that makes you
Get high
Light the little room you use to
Get high
Cobwebs on the wall that watch you

Ok I went out on a Saturday night
And I met a girl, a beautiful girl
Then I tried to talk, it's a horrible thing
Cause I don't belong out of my drink
Well I'm just staring at the bar all night
Just wishing I could light on fire
And go running through the place with a bottle of Rumple Minze and a lighter
Another loose end to burn off of there
The past instills what the future is and it tells you to move on
Another loose end to burn off of there
The past instills the thing that kills is the fact you don't belong
Just standing by the wall for awhile
Just looking at the people smile
I can't stand it
Just give me a little room to breathe
So this is where the animals come to breed?
I can't stand it
I don't talk so don't ever make me
I don't bend so rules will never break me
I don't listen I never cared I
Smoke up don't light a fire
Don't talk there's nothing you can tell me
No glove you wore ever held me
Don't stare your eyes never look right
No green that I could ever try to light
Another loose end to burn off of there
The past instills what the future is and it tells you to move on
Another loose end to burn off of there
The past instills the thing that kills is the fact you don't belong

Girls

I've been sleeping with girls
If she'd have straightened I'd wish she had curls
We're laying in bed
Taking it fast for a change now oh yeah
I idolize what I've been through
And that's a compliment cause I've been through you
And I'll talk about girls
Telling you everything about all my girls
Well let's talk about you
Talk about another one as long as it's you
I idolize what you've been through
It makes it so evident what not to do
Take a bow or a curtsy will do
They'll fill up the things that I'd lost interest to
Or you'll type it out, type it real cool
Maybe that's why I don't wanna talk about you
I idolize what I've been through
And that's a compliment cause I've been through you
(Maybe I should just catch a plane out to Las Vegas. And just get a hooker or two. Maybe I should just take the metro to the Creepy Crawl, I can take a night off or two. Maybe I should just shut my mouth up and call BC, I know he knows a girl or two. Maybe I should just turn my phone off and catch a few, Z's.)

The more I stay away, the more I lie awake and dream of you
The more I fantasize, the more I will despise her
In diamond mine the man will find a shining peace of mind,
And put it in his pocket
But in a burning hell, the man will search for angels
I search for angels
And if you knew love you'd find
A person you could share it with
And if you knew love you'd fly
Like a bird with its wings on fire
And if you knew love you'd find
A person you can share it with
If I die tonight, if I go peaceful in my sleep
Please burn my body
But if drink till I choke on my own tongue
Please let me sleep alone, please
I've been smiling in my sleep
Sometimes I don't know you anymore
And if you knew love you'd find
A person you could share it with
And if you knew love you'd fly
Like a bird with its wings on fire
And if you knew love you'd find
A person you can share it with

Lips

Give me your line, say it's your first time
Take your time, smile like your pretty eyes
You're dressed to the nines, but you play like it's all the time
You prey like a lion
You hunt like you already know why you bought the red wine
Show me your best, fuck like you know my bed
Handle your shit, kiss like you've never kissed
You look in my eyes, you play like it's all the time
Give me your line, you give like it's your first time
But it's not.
You suck on my lip
Angle my fingertips
You string me along
You tell me you're the only one
You give me a wink but I just keep drinking it
I just keep drinking it
I look into your eyes
I'm better than this
And my head just flails
And my songs don't end

I sit here alone at night
I sit here wondering why
I can't sleep
But I never could
I lay here and think all night
Bet she's wondering why
I can't sleep
But I just keep asking why I
I can't find a love when I want it
I can't find nothing at all
I can't find a love when I want it
I can't find a love
I walk a hundred miles to work
I listen to nothing but you
Can't get anywhere
I'll play a couple chords that work
I'll channel nothing but you
Can't get anywhere
I can't find a love when I want it
I can't find nothing at all
I can't find a love when I want it
I can't find a love
I hate to say it, but now I know
