Prelude / down low
03:43
|

the pain is square between my ears
it stares me in the face
was hit by a speeding car
yet i don’t see a trace
i healed up just fine in bed
they screwed my parts back on
but lost something along the way
the sound of silence gone
this tone, this tone
this tone, this tone
it’s all inside my head
this tone, i’m in
a real dark place
they’re wishing i was dead
i can’t keep track of anything
it’s all i fucking know
i’ve been watching days of our lives
with the volume down low
this tone, this tone
this tone, this tone
it’s all inside my head
this tone, i’m in
a real dark place
they’re wishing i was dead

ticking telling
01:03
|

i’ve been sucked dry i’ve been erased
i’ve been turned inside out
this thing inside my skull has made it
hard to fucking count
i can’t tell who i can’t tell where
i can’t tell what i am
i certainly don’t have a clue
if i’ll smile again
it’s like they took my beating heart
replaced it with a bomb
now as i sit it ticks away
and i just want my mom

split ends
01:02
|
|||
it feels like there are two of me
one and one and one make three
but which one’s real and what’s it for
can’t look in mirrors anymore
home is a prison and a womb
i can’t stay here it is my tomb
but if i leave i might get dead
i’ll just pull my hair out instead

alive again
02:14
|

i found this band
they really rock
they get me
i get them
the music is
a gift to me
i feel alive again
it’s been so long
since i have felt
that piece of my
broke head
their noise tapped right into my brain
it seems
i’ve made a friend
that piece is back
i can’t complain
that peace is back
no sad refrain
that piece is back
i feel alive again
it’s like a high
i’ve never felt
except for those
few times
i skipped out on
my medicine
and took flight
in my mind
that piece is back
i can’t complain
that peace is back
no sad refrain
that piece is back
i feel alive again
my new best friend
is there for me
whenever i need him
i just press play
and there he is
crawling through
my skin

thanks too
02:07
|

i feel so full i’m one whole piece
and i’m free from the pain
it’s all thanks to my new best friend
his songs have made me sane
division and distraction have subsided and i see
my vision’s clear, there’s one true path
i’ll play and drive and be
it’s worth the struggle now because
i control my goddamn brain
it’s time i showed those fuckers that
i’m not fucking deranged
thanks to my friend
he is the best
we’re gonna rule the world
we’re gonna get
just what we want
meet all sorts of nice girls

I miss you
02:04
|
|||
i miss my bud i haven’t seen
my pal in oh so long
he hasn’t returned my response
i wonder what’s gone wrong
my head aches worse and worse each day
i do not hear from him
the minutes pass and my brain splits
at best my 'tude is grim
and i miss you
and i want you there with me
and i’d kiss you
if you’d just tell me i’m cool
yeah i miss you
it’s kinda funny to admit
i know that we just met
but jesus christ i can’t help it
i know you know me best
yeah i miss you
where did you go where have you been
i’ve got so much to tell
i’m stranded out in my own skull
it’s putting me through hell
and i miss you
and i want you to be free
but i miss you
and i want you to be me
i miss me

they all mean
so so much
i guess now
more than ever
i just
miss
your touch

i’m spitting blood i’m locked in bed
i went too far i cracked i’m scarred
it’s not fear i’m self-aware
i wish i didn’t fucking care
i’m not dead at least i said
i paid the price your call was nice
i crashed the van i killed a man
i’m still your biggest fucking fan
