Finite bloodshot pattern sever pattern sever Fever signal Take swallow take swallow Septic over and over and over and over and Imprint violence cradle milk violence Swaddled violence moaning violence Menstrual violence violence I met a man who stood so swollen the mountains rose up and came on the sky I met a girl whose curves held the cocaine to such a climax I gouged out my eyes I spill my lovers all over the bathroom floor Stuck together with my insides I point the finger trace your body and lay my doe eyes down Its easy to see that the hardest part is going to be to choke you down

This is the most important thing that I’ll ever say The first round’s on me Snakes charm snakes tongue My body anybody Shake, shake tell that girl at the end of the bar the way the gin clings to her lips cuckold and figureless like our fucking is my fucking benevolence Your daughters got her gun in my mouth I’m stroking anxiety and sucking the poison out Not that I blame her and I’ll entertain her we falsify our identities to make sure there’s victims to blame our safe word is our real names red dress blackout pink, pink, pink there’s no rhythm in the burning of bridges There’s no passion in throwing the fight She moves those hips like sinking ships All hands boys, all hands This whole damn bar is going down Welcome to the great white superstition They can taste us dripping from the stage lights warm blood on the dancefloor There’s mascara in the water We got a frenzy on our hands We circle the bottom This bottle return it Return it to the sea the fucking sea I cover her pornography In the American flag Like some lazy symbolism Will get me past half mast (voice acting of Marya Errin Jones) I don’t want to wake up again Pressing for your body And I’ve failed too many times To change these bandages alone I tried to forget, why cant I forget

Damn your eyes I’m three pills from loathing But who’s counting The steps to the fall She is not a striking resemblance But close enough can be my last call Fame and fortune Will fuck us all At least the ones that are worth it Til witnesses and guilty convolve Tell the pundits This was all Orchestrated from inside Tell the nurse That I knew it the whole fucking time It is us Who found solace In six strings fast songs and short lives Maybe it meant something Or maybe we were born to die This is a witch hunt For all of the poets We’re bleeding out Every bleeding heart I’ve lost any sense of compassion But hopeful words bring the Johns to the thigh You know its fake but don’t look away Last call open season for pick pockets and ballads alike Give me snake oil give me poison Give me anything at all The makers of daggers Will bury their lovers And when you see my sunken eyes Remember how they looked to the sky Another broken man Nailed to his bed by a young boys hands Set fire to an empty heart What haunts me now is knowing that I’ll never get back to the place where they’d love to see me fall When you found me face down in C list shit Said it meant something back when we were kids But at some point you were supposed to move on

This was before The wolves crashed the party We found all our figures And they hid the triggers Beneath the lace Make it count, fuck it Feed me my lines Come morning In a long line Of comings They’ll find us The best damn amature models That grandure can buy Its the way we move When there’s a cameras around Too much skin smoke and mirrors To toungue your bored little mouth (to hallow you out) Can you hear them threading fingers Tapping signals on the thighs Bored throwing dead presidents At the drunken breasts of the night I’m giving back to this scene Another cliché punk rock tragedy Fuck you’re idols kill the scene Make a bride of your apathy Wash away 10 years with a bottle of cheap gin and loathing myself fuck the whole thing Take a moment to reflect on the times when reflections like mine were too drunk to Fuck the glory days Til the glory days start singing songs about me
5.
Smash the headlights cut the breaks She says my passion is one of my finer traits Cross the tears dot her eyes I’m the last true romantic alive High heel click on each empty chamber And the orchestra swells to remember The critique and The pageantry The arson, the gala, the lip caught between her teeth Raise your glass To the start of the war Empty your pockets When you see How naked our lady of acceptable losses could be Hide your wives With any luck this will be the last fuck Steady hold steady And keep your eyes on the band They’re always the first overboard If theres fire in the throne room Then theres a lion in on the floor Swing hard swing fast The king is dead and this dance is our last Lay siege, till the house lights come up Grab you’re wepons Prepare for their charge God is with us god is with us He demands that we hang the bodies from the gates With his love with his love We’ll tie the knots with his love How many songs can one man sing mistaking conviction and vanity I’m cutting my losses and throwing myself to the sea
6.
I’ve been haunting the bottom of this whiskey bottle And forcing the footwork slightly out of time Holding confession beneath the skirt And bleeding out when bleeding outs been done to death We cant get back We burned the bodies and the starlets have all gone long ago We cant get back We never hit the high notes screaming what we thought were love songs Ive been feeding The revolver drinks all night long And I know she’ll take me home Give me safety Give me shelter Fuck it give me something stronger I’m taking shots on the roof top The girls falling all at my feet Counting the stories on fingers Falling for any warm body I see Gather. Cowards and sinners for the punk rock swan song Lead it to your bed, let it be your first Define yourself in its moments and prop up the idols and wait for the flood In another time in another place when you see the faces look away My name Is a hollow word And I’m giving it back Oh mother oh father Sing a song for the setting sun
