lyrics

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
