i'd like to make you mine
put your picture in my room
but you hide behind
dark panes of glass and cheap perfume
do you dwell in the past
when i thought i overheard you say
that love it would never last
and her dreams would be thrown away
for a reason that i can't condone
your feelings for me act counterfeit
your voice is still in my phone
yesterday i listened to it
i want took take you underwater
bathe away the sin
i miss the letters from my father
overdo it on my medicine
whispers in the night i call your name
and the voice spins round my head all day
hollowed out and it's all the same
i can't complain

Drowning

late wednesday night
i started to build my wall
in a house overgrowing with ivy
i sat out by the pool
took my last sips of liquor
as i dived into the water
never opened up my eyes
as i sank beneath the sea
sun and moon above
no one came to see me
dead and forgotten
the cat got out again
neighbors had forgotten to
visit me while away
came over and saw me sitting
deep beneath the waves
left the radio on
fell asleep to a sad folk song
gunshots in the distance
so i never picked up the phone
i wrote this on a cloud
where the people knew my name
there's a fire burning deep below me
and there's sugar in my veins
the devil came from the basement
where he once was caught on film
mother over his shoulder
and a child in the room

Nicotine

i need a first aid kit
to mend my broken heart
she needs a place to live
for her life has fallen apart
and the dancer crashed her car
never got very far
its driving down the road at night
when i wonder how this could be
before you coughed up all the blood
i met a girl named emily
crashing through the boulevard
overdosed on nicotine
then she tore out my heart
sat and watched it bleed
i feel sick at night
but its all in my head
wandering through skylights
laying in my bed
never forgot what she said
letters wrapped in thread

River

the river runs icy and red
my brother's coming back from the war
my friends will all soon forget
about this place that we all call home
so you sit there with your cigarettes
remembering when you were young
theres not a thing that i will ever regret
just hope that i never move on
my heart is a stone
rolling to the sea
i wrote this when you were gone
the last night i was seventeen
ringtones and the way that you feel
tastebuds silence and death
it was the moment that i knew this was real
lying alone and feeling your breath
the murder eating his last meal
two blue jays out in the birdbath
it made that nights newsreel
he called to his love in his last breath

Traveling

friday night i was smoking spice
didn't know what was up and i didn't know what was right
saw you sitting there across the room
and i don't know how to feel about it
nighttime daydream i was only seventeen
when i found out how it felt
you left me out there in the pouring down rain
and i don't know how to feel about it
i've been traveling
but it's alright cause in my mind i've figured it all out
over and over
time after time i seem just fine but i need your love right now
in the nighttime
the silence provides reasons why to keep you around
over and over
time after time i seem just fine but i need your love right now
all by myself i walk these streets
looking for you and looking for your face
but i'm still alone sitting in my room
and i don't know how to feel about it
high heels and a short skirt
full of bad decisions and broken words
but you ran away left me to be alone
and i don't know how to feel about it

Roadkill
04:45

i think about it every day
all the roadkill
passing on the highway
watching her drift away
yesterday i saw her face
she was looking through me
when i reached out and touched her body
she had me write a song
i think about it every day
all the people
dying on the highway
four cars crashed today
i just drove on by
she listened to me
talked through the goddamn movie
then i watched her cry
all my friends are killing themselves again
we were never friends we started from the end
laying out in the cold the other day
i found out it would never be the same
i saw her face
standing in the rain
watching her drift away
yesterday
it was all the same
it was never about you
it was always about you
in the end
all the roadkill
passing by
all the roadkill
reminds me of you
