Stapling my wrists shut
Smoke stained in the blood rain
Blood stained in the cold rain, and uh
Nobody can hear me scream
So why not just stop
After all, just fall apart
But then the girl smiles from the other side
And I know nothing's gonna be alright
I'll go and laugh goodbye
But then the big man comes and rubs her thigh
And if it didn't, now it hurts inside
But still I laugh goodbye
After all I realize
I'm not gonna get you again
But I just hate how he whittles my pride
(Just let me bleed)
I'm such an attention whore
Egotistical
Can't you see-oh
You don't wanna hear me speak
So I might just stop
After all, just fall apart
But then the girl smiles from the other side
And I know nothing's gonna be alright
I'll go and laugh goodbye
But then the big man comes and rubs her thigh
And if it didn't, now it hurts inside
But still I laugh goodbye
Don't you know, I-
I just want to apologize
But my tongue is still stiff from pride
(Just let me seethe)
But then the girl smiles from the other side
And I know nothing's gonna be alright
I'll go and laugh goodbye
But then the big man comes and rubs her thigh
And if it didn't, now it hurts inside
But still I laugh goodbye
Here I leave my ink and pen
Through this note to you, my friend
All good things must have an end
Lick the glue, to you I'll send
Here I leave my ink and pen
Through this note to you, my friend
All good things must have an end
Lick the glue, to you I'll send
I don't want to be your lover
I just miss being your everything
But I've come to accept that I don't want you back
Anytime soon

I don't want music
That's been through the wringer
And I don't want bandaged up versions of hurtin'
'Cause I do
I hurt n' so do you
I write songs to write 'em
The joy's in the artwork
And if I'm bein' honest
Burnout really limits what I do
But my friends make music too
I gotta cry to write songs
And I gotta write songs to make music
It's stressin' me out so I cry
Write a song, and do it all again
Hell, I want artists
That went through the wringer
And oh, I want artwork
That makes my tears thicker
And yes, I want lyrics
Like sand in my teeth
I want soil
When I decompose
I am earthy
My friend Violet said so
And, oh I want love
Like the dirt on my palms
I want words
With grit and with shovels I dig
Through the oily folds of my forte
My verbal expressions of it
