I beat you I broke you you waited I came a little too late
It's funny we ain't laughing about the difference two weeks can make
Don't you want to lively up yourself?
I'm being bold you ain't gonna get it with anyone else
We got a lot things going for us baby
Going south
I was wrong there were enough cigarettes and port to get me through
I put a big dent in the world supply I put a big dent in you
You say your heart's numb but it still works a little bit
You don't want it to wake up in the middle of the night in a kicking and screaming fit
What are you gonna do when it comes around have warm milk with it?
Wasted and wounded in the city in some new fool's flat
Brought together by being jaded you've got more life in you than that
Someday you'll want to have again
Gasoline hands and razor blade voice caressing your pale skin
If there's one thing I've learned from knowing you is how to lose and never win

In this yellowing room orphan memories carelessly buried under thick yellowing paint
A perfect shade for mourning in this death valley we is and we ain't
Thieves don't knock just dump their garbage at our door forcing me threats and reasons to satisfy this ache
And silence the terrorist rage whimpering and suffocating beneath the paint
It is time to make a friend of the twisted cripples causing who seethes omnivorous revenge
It must have been one hundred ten degrees in there
Ill fated ambitions angry fallen desperate fouling the air
It is time to make a friend of the syphilitic uncle who demands justice not redemption
Shun ignore and negate what's done you beat down my soul now I act like I never had one
You chewed it up and spit it back at me to watch it squirm and surge and die helplessly
But I got out how can I forget I've got some plans for you you just don't know it yet
I've looked in everyone but they're nowhere to be found these fugitives have met their match in this bloodhound
When I find them respect and dignity we will liberate all these begrudging memories

Everyman's Blues

Tonight they almost got me everyman's blues
Reading about my heroes they ain't no heroes at all
Burned out lost and wasted beautiful
Maybe it's time to thank my unlucky stars
My ego is a mountain that I could never scale and I'm looking for some poor soul to carry me up so I can die a happy death
Tonight I almost paid them lover's dues
Words burned on my paper heart like a prison tattoo
Blame it on Willa Cather beautiful
Let's take this one step further and way too far
I'll figure out a way to make some real money I'll marry you and we can have a baby
And maybe we can raise her up to be a good southern belle
Maybe between the two of us she'll be able to tell
A good heartbreaking story the tragedy of man
But I only want to if you think you can
Tonight we're gonna face these everyday blues
Come sit down on these phone books I wanna talk to you
Remember that day you walked and left me crying in the rain
I've been trying to mend this broken heart but broken it remains
I don't know what's right I don't know what's best but look at me now baby and tell me what do you wanna do?

When the leaches suck you dry
When the snakes are at your feet
When you think of everything you've lost think of me
You are poisoned by the cure
Choke down denial
Wretch it up in knots onto the floor
You're hung
When you're crying on the street
Because you can't cry at home
When you're hiding what you need to let be known
When you're crying over me
Ask yourself this question
We're running circles around the same thing
Why don't we embrace when we collide?

I Am The One

We've had conversations alone by myself
I've no desire to be anybody else
Except for one who knows you someone whom you trust
Reveal to me what's on inside that pretty little head of rust
If you walked in on me sleeping dusty sunlight streaming past my face
Crawl right in and take your place
I can tell by the way you look at me you don't know it still
You've never met anyone like me and you never will
I live among the shadows you exist within the sun
Wanna tell you right to your face I am the one
I am the one who could release you with a kiss to your poetic mouth
Never again be without
I am the one who would enable your redemption who could exile your human shame
And make you understand if I knew your name

In the cold cold ground memories of you make no sound and remain out of view
Bile digested my heart action's finally through in the cavity I will rebuild anew
In the cold cold ground memories of you that drove me away at last have been given their due
The fire that ravaged my soul now burns different colors for you a little bit yellow and green but mostly blue
In the cold cold ground memories of you it is something I never thought I could do
Consider your pestilent memories I'm down on my knees lay them right next to mine and please forgive me

Rain oh lord just one rain driven hard and long
Dissolve this hideous city of dust that proves you wrong
Phantom tongue tasting metal nails piercing skull
Crucified to this pillar of salt dividual
Why do you let it?
Rise!
Desolate on the outside
Tomorrow won't be another day
Tomorrow will blow away
When they were heard to say "Let them come"
Rattled alive this mangled slave's wagging tongue
Naked craniums radiate missionary tones
Won't escape inevitable crushing bones
Empty mouth speaks no words these eyes do sing
The power of glorious butchery rules everything
Crucified and spilling inutile turn
This perilous slave now salts the earth while his prison burns
They won't get to the inside

Man doesn't forget
Every moment is branded on his chest
It hurts and you want to shed
The different colours that are seared into your flesh
They're beautiful
I know it's true
I bear my own scars not the least of which is you
Your skin is marked with doubt
You ain't gonna lose it might as well turn it inside out
If anything remember you'll always walk with me
