New Year's Day

I was promised wine and roses
Fully honest, friends forever
What happened?
I'll remember everything you said to me tonight, I promise
I don't wanna be friends anymore
I don't wanna be yours
I don't wanna be friends anymore
I don't wanna be yours
Something's coming
For us
Can't stop it if we wanted
I don't wanna be friends anymore
I don't wanna be yours
I don't wanna be friends anymore
I don't wanna be yours
Why is a life of love such a bore?
And a sex scene such a chore
I don't wanna talk
But I don't wanna say goodbye
I just wanna be outside

This Scene

This scene, I think I'm leaving
From waking up late and feeling bad
These dreams, I should be fleeing
Sore from wearing nightmares on my back
These pills, this scene
These dreams, it seems are
Taking away more than they're giving me
This town, I think I'm drowning
From hanging out late and not much else
These days, I know I'm decaying
From selling myself to pay for all your fame
This town, these days
Just blow away when
The slightest of wind
Is enough to sway

Dusk

Daylight's getting scarce
and dusk is stalking freshmen
At the parties, heavy laughing; screaming lyrics then hysteric
Smile and shaven, lend a sweatshirt; share a backseat then a mixed drink
Leggy, loosely sidewalk waving, dressed in winter, satin fabric
Mention music then your major; then suggest a favor
Endless courtyards keep corralling
Heady sunshine, slack-jawed midnight
Drunk and trusting, pitch black bedroom
Where are my friends, and how did I get here?
Who am I, and how did I get here?
And who's talking off my clothes?
Becca's dropping out, and Justin's picked up dealing
At the party, are you coming?
When you say so, if you say so
Are you bringing, are you bringing
What I love the most?
This my body wants forever
But my mind's screaming, "never"
This my body wants forever
But my mind's screaming at me, "never again"
This my body wants forever,
But my mind's screaming, "never"
This my body wants forever,
But my mind says, "oh I don't remember"
I should probably leave this town again
Find myself a brand new host of fair-weathered friends
Get my father's number from my mom
Give that man a call

I was born a couple miles from here
Nevermind, all those kid's dreams have died
It was fun when we were young, until methamphetamine
Where was I when you gave up your life for that temporary high
Close your eyes, my inner child
Where we go now, I need you quiet
Close your eyes, my inner child
Where we go now, I need you quiet
Where we go now
Holding onto flame like it won't burn you
Unless you tell it to
What's the price, so divine, You tell me when, I'll tell you why
Cold lawn, warm beer,
I can tell you now that I'll love it here
For at least a year
I can stay straight for days,
The slightest wind blows me away

Local Celebrity

Got a job at the local bar
Moving drinks, it's alright
I'm there most nights, if not I'm
Getting high in a car outside
Don't know where I'll be
Next year, next month, next week
But I'll be there Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
If they call me in Friday, I'm gonna quit
I'm a local celebrity, or don't you know?
I've burned more bridges than you've ever seen up close
And I'm still completely alone

Do I
02:58
|
|

|
Do I, do I, do I?
Do I, do I, do I?
Won't you be mine
Like a flower
Little flat now
Under the weight of appraisal
Do I, do I, do I?
You could say yes
If you wanted
You don't have to
Nothing hurts like a favor
Do I, do I, do I?
Do I wanna die, do I?
You could say yes,
If you wanted
Guess you gotta,
Based on current behavior

You will grow away from here
With your mother, I'm on the phone
Hearing all the things you've done
To this family who gave you
Everything you know
With a bracelet stuck to your leg
It tells you where to go, and when to sleep
With your boyfriend, coming in on
You and your friends, violent again
It's a hard life, it's a hard line
To walk, the way, you're moving
Backwards
Coming home
Coming home, I'm
Coming home to you, I'm
Coming home for you

Kid while you can
Child, while they let you
Slip off into
The shade of brand new faces
Half a decade lost
Drunk in Fountain Square
Lose all your friends
Become unrecognizable
To them, you're ancient
Or dead
Everywhere I leave
Traces of my affection
Intentions fleeting
Ooooh
Goodbye, cotton blue sunshine
Goodbye, sober breath
Hello, stranger
How have you been since I left
Spend countless hours, counting down
Time slips by
All my best observations
Leave me blind
Goodbye, cotton blue sunshine
Goodbye, sober breath
Hello, stranger
How have I been since you left
Goodbye, cotton blue sunshine
Goodbye, sober breath
Hello, stranger
What am I now you with you left

You Won't

All I want to do
Is tell you, "I love you,"
But you won't
Believe me, because
I don't believe me
Yet
Dead set on a setback
