I've got a good idea
How about we move out to the country
I can smell the fresh air now
And we'll sleep well every night
Two kids and a house would be alright
And all my dreams will be the same
I'll be practicing my aim
Sleeping with the family gun
Trying hard to have some fun
Holding onto anyone who makes me feel something
I'm so done holding onto you
I've just been true
Been holding myself hostage
Cut myself loose
I've got a bad idea
But it sounds good in my head
I want to leave it all behind
I want to hit the road instead
Two jobs and a house would be alright
And if I'm doing what the doctor orders
I guess I'll spend my nights at home
Dreaming bout the family gun
Trying hard to have some fun
Holding onto anyone who makes me feel something
I'm so done holding onto you
I've just been true
Been holding myself hostage
Cut myself loose
I'm so done holding onto you
I've just been true
I'm through with all this heartache
I'm through with you

Bad

My girl is the stencil
She moves so elemental
When she leaves my bedroom
My heart beats out of tempo
She walks to the bathroom
She's got a lot of things to do
I wake up head rush
I want to be her toothbrush
But she's not coming back
I want her fucking bad
Fucking bad
My girl has potential
I'm so inconsequential
When she leaves the city
I start to disassemble
She knows me I like that
She steers me right into the black
I want her so bad
She is my little heart attack
But she's not coming back
I want her fucking bad
Fucking bad
My arms and legs detach
I feel the wishbone crack

Standing Next to Me

You were standing next to me
Eyes stained black from crying all week
They won't touch you if I can help it
Yeah they'll have to go through me
I was looking back at you
Future blurring out of view
Don't let those fuckers tell you off
Leave them bloody, black and blue
Oh my darling
Oh my pretty heart attack
I'm your keeper
And I'll never give you back

O' Gaia, you cracked out another one
As sweet as blood
I want to blame you somehow
But that's no fun
You wind me up and I'm kicking at the smoke
You want me good
You speak in spirals that sound like a joke
And pop the hood
But you're a liar to me
History has shown
I want to give it all to
The one I know
Louisiana's greatest beauty
Plucked out and planted in cement
Alive with all that God intended
Without a defect or a dent
"Creusa!" your daughter is a siren calling me
I swim for miles
Don't care if she's my albatross
I will stand trial
Alone and stranded in the wild of the world
I call her name
And if I starve to skin and bone
Don't drag me away
You want to ride the serpent
And start it all
You want to see the garden
And be the fall
Louisiana's greatest beauty
Plucked out and planted in cement
Alive with all that God intended
Without a defect or a dent

When I get home at night
I feel every single thing
I dream alone at night
A little something just for me
I want to hold your hand
And tell you who I ought to be
Want to be your man
You could come over just to sleep
But I'm wrong
My friends say I don't call enough
To Stay in their good graces
But I know we're all we've got left so I'll
Put this record on 'til this
Blows over
I don't want to watch my friends
Get Older
I don't want to watch my childhood
Smolder
Guess I've got to be a
Man now
Man now
Man now
Man now
Man
I want to feel the pain
Of everyone, I feel nothing
I've got a fickle brain
It hums and hisses by the minute
I've got to help myself
Facilitate my functioning
I'm out of breath myself
I don't know what's been happening
I come home
You tell me I don't think enough
I cannot explain myself
But I'll give it all I've got now so just
Put this record on 'til this
Blows over
I don't want to watch my friends
Get Older
I don't want to watch my childhood
Smolder
Guess I've got to be a
Man now
Man now
Man now
Man now
Man

NJ Hell

I was in
New Jersey Hell
Heat stroke riding
Melts my soul into the well
The vice of
Generations in the swell
Is it worth it to be
Swimming if I drown?
If I'm dying
Will you give me mouth to mouth?
If I'm frozen six feet under
Will you help?
I was in
America
Dreaming of a tidal shift
To wash away the blood
Riptide drags us
Off the earth
If we can't live without fear
Then what's it worth?
If I'm dying
Will you give me mouth to mouth?
If I'm frozen six feet under
Will you help?
If I'm dying
Will you give me mouth to mouth?
If I'm frozen six feet under
Will you help?

It's the neon ending
To a gritty film
It's a new beginning
It's a force of will
It's a hand of mercy
It's a desert with none
You're a false pariah with an empty gun
Relapsing every weekend
Annihilate the sun
Be righteous and unfaithful
Until we all wake up
I'm tired of our one room
This geocentric rut
Walk through an I-beam canyon
To see the one I love
It's all for me
It's all for me
New York is all I need
It's all for me
It's all for me
New York is all I need
It's a crowded bathroom
For your drunken friends
It's an empty rooftop
All alone again
Wide awake and scheming
The next plan of attack
I might have lost it but I'll
Get it back
Awash in endless moonlight
I light the streets on fire
Aloof to any damage
That doesn't fit the style
Lean out a frozen window
I'm going to scorch my brain
Tune out every opinion
It can wait another day
It's all for me
It's all for me
New York is all I need
It's all for me
It's all for me
New York is all I need
It's all for me
It's all for me
New York is all I need
It's all for me
It's all for me
New York is all I need
It's all I need
It's all I need
It's all I need

Bad Dream

I had a bad dream all night long
It was the one where summer takes too long
I'm on the outskirts, on the run
And then my heart explodes into the sun
And every day feels endless cause you're gone
You lying on your back
You look so good my little heart attack
The way your blue jeans fit
I want to make sure I remember it
You're acting impolite
You tell me that you want another bite
And though you chew me up
I know that I could never get enough
I bear the heatwave for you
Re-write the song
I bear the hurricane
To make up for the times that I was wrong
You lying on the grass
A million miles from where I felt you last
You look me in the eye
And tell me you can melt away the past
You're burning extra bright
You tell me that you're running out of light
And with an open hand
You tell me to surrender to your plan
You hold me in your palm
And crush me til my body is all gone
Though I'm reduced to dust
I know that I could never get enough
I'd walk forever for you
To see the end
I'd walk forever
Just to hear a few words
In your voice again
I laid a thousand miles of wire
To hear you on the other side
But you're not picking up the phone
So I'll just try another time
You know my every single thought
You tear me limb from limb you see
You leave my dying on the rocks
You are the only thing I need
You make it easy for me
Despite it all
You make it easy for me
To confess
You were right all along
