Don't leave it alone, guess I'm too stoned To know if I'm to stoned, or just vacant and broke Wait here for a lift, pretend to give a shit Come quick, here's another chance to swing and miss Another chance to swing and miss Send to work from birth, found success head first Follow me head first, stumble, trip, mumble curse See the state of your shins, look to research a grin One win, I know, you can't leave me alone Nothing relates this to common sense Forced displacement, give it a rest Yes we'll blame this on ignorance We won't leave you, We can't leave you alone Yes we're saviors But stick to the script To sink or swim (x4)

Full stop, statement, payment please You applaud for arrangements not by me Hold your breathe while I press mine Losing your faith as we cross statelines These photos are faceless (pacing) She said you've been wasted this whole damn time Cause it's easy to remember When you're faced with nothing more than a black eye Stationed here I can confess to Leaving home with nothing more than a white lie All we need is patience, that's how I choose to lie All we need is patience Full stop, statement, payment please You applaud for arrangements not by me These photos are faceless (pacing) She said you've been wasted this whole damn time Cause it's easy to remember When you're faced with nothing more than a black eye Stationed here I can confess to Leaving home with nothing more than a white lie

Don't know that I can see your face Guess it's nice to see you again Blame your neighbors for your failure to place It's fine as long as you can't stand Oh lord yes what is it now? Someone else to take your blame? Look son you're nowhere to be found You're dead last in this game You're pulling us under, Son It's time to give up and go Stolen yet overdone Act like you already know Here we go, here we go yet again Nothing left to do with your day Your work is just a means to an end You know you've got nothing to say You're pulling us under, Son It's time to give up and go Stolen yet overdone Act like you already know Don't know that I can see your face Guess it's nice to see you again Blame your neighbors for your failure to place It's fine as long as you can't stand No no no, no no Stay here, stay in the light No no no, no no Come join the fight You're pulling us under, Son It's time to give up and go Stolen yet overdone Act like you already know

Been a long time coming, keep your peace on the need know Been screaming for a reason to jump ship, got places to go You've been on your own, stone cold from the bus I can't take living here, no don't need much Ran 16 miles for a cigarette butt Don't bleed true, nor do you Don't be scared to drop your phone, caught you giving a fuck I see the four seasons and still don't know where to run You've been on your own, stone cold from the bus I can't take living here, no don't need much Ran 16 miles for a cigarette butt Don't bleed true, nor do you Sitting, waiting for the weekend Hoping the postman is less vacant I can't hold this bullshit facelift Who's the reverand, I'm impatient You've been on your own, stone cold from the bus I can't take living here, no don't need much Ran 16 miles for a cigarette butt Ran 16 miles for a cigarette butt Ran 16 miles for a cigarette butt Ran 16 miles

Hoping this comes to a head I can't remember even the first thing I said Honey push me down, choke one out Wish I knew when to shut my mouth I know, lord I know I guess I don't though Wasting away, and yet I wouldn't choose to stay I sing you a song so I can fall asleep (Face it now) I'll save my truths for a woman and sheet (Don't you know this town) Can't stay here, much longer, not yet This lurking, this searching through my chest (x4) Wasting away, and yet I wouldn't choose to stay I sing you a song so I can fall asleep (Face it now) I'll save my truths for a woman and sheet And yet I wouldn't choose to stay

Singing against the grain, for reasons I can't explain There's nothing that I won't say Saying the same damn thing, how much more will it take I just want to relate Facedown, cerated, seeking a hand All you needed was to stick to a plan Hold there, wait, stoic in sand All you needed was to stick to a plan Complacent Do you feel hatred? Cause I feel jaded Oh so jaded (x4) Facedown, cerated, seeking a hand All you needed was to stick to a plan Hold there, wait, stoic in sand All you needed was to stick to a plan

She takes his name, his wife this fall He takes a drink, she hits the wall No shouts, no screams, no call since May Ain't that one way to shame Take whats easy, no more Wasted need, I concede your beliefs, as she hits the floor All these times I've resigned to accept what I've seen here before Aint that one way to change Pace for time, pace for notice Pace for lines, cause I can't focus Posture a stain, with a prayer and pulpit A picture frame Hoping and hoping She says take him away, he says I can't stand A full sentence estranged from the powers at hand Never was a fan She won't bleed or refrain, what a night to chagrin Pain brought on yourself is not the same as a win Let that sink in Take whats easy, no more Wasted need, I concede your beliefs, as she hits the floor All these times I've resigned to accept what I've seen here before Aint that one way to change

He hangs up But I'll call back in a little while Is your brother still nuts? See your father's fist from a quarter mile Shaking through sleep Smell the wounds of cheap booze and cigarettes His brother's chief of police Ex wife's a proud public enemy Shut your mouth, sew it up I believe you've seen too much Face this week, from your knees We don't need em Stained with blood to reach your feet We don't need em But it's not enough Slip your favorite sheet round the overpost Tie a noose over top Goddamn, watch how your body drops Shut your mouth, sew it up I believe you've seen too much Face this week, from your knees We don't need em Stained with blood to reach your feet We don't need em

Been sober 16 hours Been thinking about my father A single voice inside my brain, left to them to discern what's sane Maybe he's looking for shelter Chase the moments that we finally have ourselves See them end up as just another little hell I've seen it all, don't waste my time Raised by his mother not divine So now I see you can unwind Stuck in a sentimental lie I see your under water (we're anxious you're too late) Well if you wait longer, and longer, and longer, and longer it's hard to concede that way Chase the moments that we finally have ourselves See them end up as just another little hell I've seen it all, don't waste my time Raised by his mother not divine So now I see you can unwind Stuck in a sentimental lie (bridge) Chase the moments that we finally have ourselves See them end up as just another little hell I've seen it all, don't waste my time Raised by his mother not divine So now I see you can unwind Stuck in a sentimental lie
