Emo Song 1

I finally got the balls to do it
I kissed my best friend
On that cold October night
Didn't know that it would end
Especially the morning after
Were dreams of a young man
Said I was an issue on your hands
Wonder where that began
She was made of the cigarettes on venue floors
She was only fit for a song
She kissed me like the tissue in her lungs
No doubt that she was slowly dying
And I was falling deeper in love
Didn’t need to write a song about you
But here I am dissolving in a puddle of years
I’m drunk off whiskey and the Tuesday night’s moon
But you would like that wouldn’t you
You would’ve thought it was so funny
Sometimes I see your smile in the blinding lights of a baseball field
But then I remember
I told you how I feel
The question is gone
The answer never appeared
I want to go back to that place and those plans
At least part of me does but to tell you the truth
I’m doing so much better without you
Because this summer I did it again
And now we’re in love
That could’ve been us
Fuck! Fucking shit! Stupid fucking b i t c h!
God damn it!
It’s all your fucking fault and it’s all over!
Fuck!
I wish it never fucking happened!
Now it’s all I fucking write about!
So to the girl I’m loving now
I’ll never leave you alone
You were all I could’ve asked for
And now you’re much more
And to the girl of my past life
Though I’m over and past her.
If I saw you again
You think there’s a question you could answer?

Special Place
03:52

Life’s going great and I’m living the dream
We’ve got space for all of us and our nicotine
I got eighteen candles and the first five are out
And I’m dying inside and there’s no doubt
There’s a special place
In hell
For people
Like me (x2)
I went out at 2:30am
Just to see my city free from women or men
It was a see of gold
But my heart was cold
Cause I’m tired of the drinking and I’m sick of the drugs
At this altitude we have all the same bugs
I wanna rip off my legs and take a nosedive
I cannot sleep but I’m in bed by five
There’s a special place
In hell
For people
Like me (x2)
You said that it was going to end
You said I’d leave and never come back again
But you got your parties and your guys
And all it ever does is burn my eyes
You called me drunk last night
I said I don’t like drunk calls we got in a fight
I said “have fun” and you said “whatever”
Then I smelled the embers of a Canada sweater
There’s a special place
In hell
For people
Like me (x2)
I really thought I knew who I gave my life to
I was never lying when I said I loved you
I should’ve seen right through you in October
I say “next song” and it’s over
Wish I could’ve known you…
When you were sober

Ode To A Dancer

What is in this wine?
10:30 central time
A dog, a man, and three children
Won’t anyone listen?
Talk now, I won’t interrupt you
After all, you stay up like I do
You’ve seen the misguided spirits
My tears, my blood, and all my lyrics
Talk now, your voice hasn’t faded
Even if it’s how your day went
Please don’t feel like your silenced
It’s your song
Only girl, a long line of boys
Cared for them all, they weren’t just noise
You gave me all your issues
But I could always trust you
Even when it was in the dark
Even when it broke your heart
You were always kind
Kissed my cuts, molded my mind
In this basement I see your beauty
No longer let the world consume me
I’ve listened and you’re wonderful
In 100 years, you won’t crumble
A goddess, don’t need cards to tell you
Dancing freely, you’re so beautiful
Here we are the last minute again
Nowhere near the end

So it’s the end
That’s what I’m tasked with comprehending
I don’t know if this is about you
I just know I have that feeling
Did you check everywhere
For what I gave you yesterday?
Can you see it in the mirror?
Could you find it in the dark?
The last place you set it down it could be
Around there
Through all my bullshit
Flavored with all of my pills
You’re so cold
When I’m getting chills
I don’t know what else to say
When I wore your shoes
It wasn’t in the way
I didn’t feel it in my soul
Stop asking questions
Get in the car and drive
Away from here away from here
Never coming back
One day you’ll see what I meant
One day you’ll feel it in your bones
If it takes walking east till your hat floats on the water
Never coming back around to take you home
From your mouth
All the bullets hit
You’re talking to me
Say we’re just shooting the shit

You Want To Kill Me
03:23

I feel sort of sorry for
Making all you learn these chords
Take me away and help me write something that fucking matters
I feel sort of down sometimes
When I think of all the lyrics I haven’t written
Somebody else could’ve said it better
Why the fuck are you still hanging out around me?
You want to kill me
I want to hate you
Long walks
Smiling through your gritted teeth
You have
A knife in your pocket
It’s been a long time
Since I forgave myself for something
When it’s all over let’s get drunk and talk about it
I’ve been keeping it inside
Look inside this hollow body
I know you don’t care but at least you’re happy
You want to kill me (I can swim)
I want to hate you (You can’t hide)
Long walks
Smiling through your gritted teeth
You have
A knife in your pocket

And as my eyes met yours from the stage
And the feedback echoed through the amps
The lyrics suddenly escaped my lips
I wish I could take another chance
