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

16 downstairs, mother's upstairs asleep
Place a chair in the hallway, belt on my knees
Father's dreaming of something I can't find in myself
Hope he's getting some sleep
Hope he's still there in front of me
Stern voice in fours, nothing short of irate
Leather tight on skin, getting dressed for the day
I was up all night, don't know what I was searching for
Hope it's someone to wake
Hope it's someone in front of me
Hope that I get away
Hope this belt fits around my kneck so I can finally get some sleep
I was a child, don't know what I was searching four
Homebody, stone sober, the child you were hoping for
I'm a sandbag runner, if only when I need
I'm a backseat fighter, if only when I need
Stand in front of me
Say that's the 6th pill for me
Just open up to someone, we'll find someway to get you relief
Say I can't feel my knees
Just open up to someone, we'll find someway to get you relief
Come and sit here with me

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

Quarter Mile

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
